Thanks for taking the time to explain.  Sound like a good game until better games comes over.

not really

Sorry, but any game that "forces" you to repeat the same exact content over and over again without any differences is a stupid game. That's that.

Oh btw, I told ya'll.. Dragon Age: Inquisition is the Game of The Year :)

Be fair. If a game doesn't grab you by the end of act 1 it is fair enough to trade it in and get something else. It took me a little while to warm into DA I but certainly a hello lot less time than the whole of Act 1.

Fantastic to see this win THE GOTY, if it can be called that. But I don't see it winning most of the reviewer GOTYs will be interesting to see how thing shake out.

It will. Dragon Age got really high ratings across the board with a few idiots giving it disgusting scores, thus lowering the meta. I'm sure it's gonna get the larger GOTY awards as well.

Meta should implement a robust reputation system for voters, because as it actually is I prefer  to rely on word-of-mouth, gameplay videos and a few reviewers I know I can trust, and, very often, waiting some time to see if a game is a fad or it 's becoming a classic, to decide if a game is worth my money.
Obviously reviews and word-of-mouth alone aren't definitive, but I read the reasons why a game was given a high or low scores and that can tell me if it's a game for me (it can happen that I like a thing that the reviewer hates, but reliable reviewers will cite them, so they can help also people that don't share their tastes).

Dang right it is. Beat a Dragon, really proud of myself, I mean easily ran out of potions and was mainly running around reviving people but still.

Then on another mission I actually though the idea of the mission was to kill the dragon, it wasn't but I killed another one. What made me sad though was I got some great gear from the first kill. The second? Nothing good at all (I mean I got this but no cool rare armour or weapons :( ). And maybe I've jsut fought the wrong ones but so far both used electric attacks.

So I've been making some progress. The world opened up a bit but not as much as I hoped. I really hoped they would go beyond Ferelden and Orlais.

I'm very thankful for the additional skill tree for every character.

I will also retract my statement that the characters are flat. All of them got a good chunk of development. Still not liking the voice acting though.

I got a big problem though. I was totally shooting for Leliana. Then Morrigan showed up and I was suddenly caught in a triangle. Leliana is just perfect for my character but Morrigan is Morrigan.

 Then I looked up the romance options and found out that neither of them even is an option. So that's a really big bummer. I'll have to go with Josephine now but I think it will be very awkward because she'll probably notice that she's just 3rd choice.

The game is so massive and you're telling me expanding the romance options to all of the main cast was suddenly too much?

I was hoping for Orlais in this game, sticking to the areas like this is still good and allows characters we know to enter the game as NPCs. This said I'd like a new game that goes to Anderfels (Grey Warden area) or Tervinter/Antiva/Rivain areas, mainly because of the nations there and the whole Tevinter and Qunari war (hopefully in 2 years, they have an engine and gameplay down, so reason why can't).

You may be, I've yet to unlock the skill tree of my main character, sure I've got enough to unlock one but the one I want I just can't get (dang assassins)
