I think my biggest concern is that people will be overly picky with it and pick it apart for any small flaw just because of the DA2.

Apparently, it has been a while since I updated myself on this title and I've changed my mind completely after seeing a bunch of gameplay videos. This is a single player MMO game, the combat looks stale and mechanical and there appears to be about 0% originality in the game world, judging by what I've seen.
It seems Bioware will remain a 3rd person action game developer like half the world, and between this and seeing how much depth Bethesda took out of Skyrim ; I thank god for CDProjekt and their upcoming potential Game of the Generation next year, to show how an RPG can be done properly, even today.

Seriously; DA3 is an MMO disguised as a single player experience, all the way down to the way you gather resources, loot enemies (even says "loot" in big, ridiculous letters) and use hotbar skills with cooldown.

I can't pretend to be a massive Bioware fanboy, given that Mass Effect 1 was my first game from them, but I've always kept faith since then (I have gone back to play KOTOR and really enjoyed it, but I am a Star Wars fanboy)

In spite of the weak ME 3 ending, that whole series was just fantastic in my opinion. I don't think there has really been any game that's got close to what it achieved

As for Dragon Age, I'm not hugely fond of medieval fantasy and didn't actually finish Origins initially. I did go back and finish it in preparation to play the cheap copy of 2 I bought, but never got beyond the first hour

But 3 does look good! But I'm not a huge western RPG fan. The 2 most popular are probably Skyrim and the Witcher 2, neither of which I thought were very good games (60 hours and 25 hours played) because they're not fun to play. The Witcher 2 you just spend your whole time rolling around and the whole potion system seems absurd to me. You're meant to drink potions before battle? So are you expected to always know when there is going to be a fight?

Skyrim's combat wasn't good at all if you ask me, though it was decent from an exploration perspective. But I just can't really deal with the awful animations. I also did slightly break the game by doing loads of crafting early, so played most of the game with maxed Daedric armour

But yeah, in spite of Dragon Age 3 drawing heavily from those 2 games I kind of want it. (I also kind of want the Witcher 3...). But I may just keep playing Unity and then move on to Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD remix instead. Though not through lack of faith in Bioware! Bring on KOTOR 3!

How can you say Dragon Age isnt an RPG but The Witcher is? Lmao that makes no sense. Dragon Age is getting amazing reviews and some are even commenting that it is a true RPG.

You should rent it to give it a try, its gets amazing reviews and has an 88 on meta right now!

Inquisition?

From what I've read, it takes a while to get going. I think I'm going to wait for a sale of sorts, £40 on PC is too much for my tastes. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to try it
