    Dragon Age: Inquisition begins with an epic, pleasantly bewildering and deliciously exhilarating opening sequence, fraught with new enemies, unique dangers and an obvious call to save the world.

Unfortunately, the tense energy of the first hour of gameplay doesn't persist much further beyond this point, and I found completing the game to be more of a chore than a goal worthy of pursuit.

    First and foremost, the actual gameplay is enjoyable. The character build variety, the crafting and leveling systems are all fairly intuitive and easy to figure out. The drive to improve your gear and build persists throughout most of the game. And the combat is just plain fun - chaining together massive combos and dealing unreal damage as my Knight Enchanter Mage made me feel like I was in control of the battlefield at all times.

    Second, the main story line is fairly well done and executed. The missions are varied, involving a variety of different locations, mission objectives and plot twists. But, for me, this is where the positives end, and the negatives begin.

    The game's biggest problem is a lack of direction and creativity with the content outside of the main story line. Players find themselves constantly unlocking new zones to explore, and upon arrival, you're usually given the exact same smattering of quests to go find shards, close some rifts and kill a couple of elite enemies. Ten or 15 zones without much variety in how you must approach each zone.

    And it's not like the side quests involve compelling characters, cut scenes or heart-wrenching decisions like you might get from a game like The Witcher 3. Instead, the character you meet are ultimately without character and rarely play a role in what's next for the Inquisitor.

    Furthermore, although the main story line is mostly well done, I never felt a real sense of urgency. The final mission was completed within about 10 minutes and it felt like none of the decisions I made up to that point had any real impact on the ending. It was very different from a game like Mass Effect 2, where your ability to build trust with your companions not only impacts the ending but whether or not you (and they) survive. I felt no real motivation to get to know most of the companions outside of my core group, and at the end of the game, the extra companions weren't even involved in anything substantive.

    Some of the DLC's are also underwhelming from a story perspective, featuring few cinematic cut scenes and little connection to the new environments.

    Overall, DA: Inquisition may temporarily fill an RPG gaming void, but the feeling won't last much beyond the first 10-15 hours of gameplay.    … Expand

    Dragon Age: Inquisition is possessed of a large, beautiful world, some great characters, action-oriented combat and some required grinding for loot. Tactics are there, but are rarely needed. Experiencing the real ending to the game requires the purchase of the Trespasser DLC. A good game whose world is almost too large for its purpose.
    Total installed size on my hard-drive (GOTY edition    Dragon Age: Inquisition is possessed of a large, beautiful world, some great characters, action-oriented combat and some required grinding for loot. Tactics are there, but are rarely needed. Experiencing the real ending to the game requires the purchase of the Trespasser DLC. A good game whose world is almost too large for its purpose.
    Total installed size on my hard-drive (GOTY edition with all DLC): 39.2 GB.

    The story starts well. Fade-rifts are opening all over Thedas. Some creature known as Corypheus seeks to corrupt / gain the power of the land's ruling factions, gathering earthly power as he attempts to elevate himself to god-hood. Is he a demon? A magister? Or some new kind of darkspawn? One of his Fade-rites goes badly wrong, and the player-character gets spit out of a rift with some kind of magical mark on their hand. The Chantry's Divine was killed by the rite (or is she merely trapped in the Fade?), leaving behind confusion and angry factions pointing fingers. In the midst of this, Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast (from Dragon Age 2) initiates the Inquisition to close the breach in the sky left by Corypheus's rite and seek those who assisted him.

    This all happens in the first hour or so of gameplay. BioWare created a fantastic setting of investigation, exploration, and expansion as the Inquisition becomes yours, to be built and used as you see fit. Large-scale faction missions (and unlocking new areas) are strategically plotted from the War Room. The Inquisitor builds his / her squad (up to 9 companions are possible), and can spend a large amount of time talking to them, helping them, and, yes, romancing them (some restrictions apply!). Some characters return from previous games. Varric and Cassandra are selectable squad-mates (both from Dragon Age II). Hawke is not a member of the party, but does join the Inquisitor for a mission. Leliana (from Origins) is an advisor, and has a large supporting role to play; Morrigan appears about half-way through. There are also call-backs to the previous games in other ways (with the right choices, the ruler of Ferelden will cameo!). It's all the good stuff we've come to expect from BioWare.

    Much of Inquisition is spent exploring areas that are unlocked via the War Room in search of Power Points. There are deserts, lush forests, ice plains, and snowy mountains. The missions that fill these areas vary from helping a widow recover her wedding ring to seizing fortresses from Corypheus' Venatori. While out exploring, be sure to stop and loot any items you see to acquire “resources” - ore, gems, plants and schematics. You'll need them to craft upgrades. There is a lot of loot to be had – almost too much. After a while I just wanted to move on with the story. But that's impossible if not enough Power Points have been accumulated to unlock the next major mission. Some grinding is required.

    Dragon Age Inquisition's combat is a refined version of Dragon Age II's: slick, swift, and action-focused, with little need to pause the game. I liked the combat of Dragon Age II much better than Origins, so to see it developed further was something I appreciated, but if you were a fan of the older system expect to be disappointed. Party AI is decent this time around. The Tactics menu itself has taken a severe hit, being smaller and with fewer options. If micro-managing the combat was never your thing, prepare to love the combat of Dragon Age: Inquisition. If you were longing for a return to the depth and detail of Origins, prepare to dislike Inquisition's combat – a lot.

    On top of this, the final boss of the main campaign (sans DLC) just isn't that impressive. I was expecting the Inquisition's castle to be assaulted, and to fight hordes of demons (and perhaps also darkspawn) in the corridors, fighting up to the highest tower or lowest dungeon, to be greeted with the final boss. This does not happen. There's some teleportation involved, some cool magically shifting landscape, a three-stage battle, and – that's it. It's strangely anti-climatic. It's only after seeing the post-credits scene that we realize who the REAL threat is – but you'll need the Trespasser DLC to deal with them. After all that time spent gathering resources and steeling myself for the implications of the final boss, it is a deliberate fake-out by BioWare. The final boss is over so quickly, and the post-credits reveal occurs so suddenly that if you didn't purchase at least Trespasser, be ready to yell in rage at the obvious DLC-bait.

    So Dragon Age: Inquisition is a mixed bag. I love long, grindy games if they're set in a gorgeous world with plenty of things to do. Inquisition delivers by the truck-load. The story is enjoyable, the characters a pleasure. The combat is an evolution of Dragon Age 2's, the final boss is disappointing, and you have to DLC the real ending. Get the Game of the Year Edition, it's the best bargain. Good, but not great; 7 out of 10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Después de 70 horas de juego en ORIGIN, creo que es tiempo de remarcar lo bueno y lo malo de este juego.

    Lo bueno:

    - Sistema de expediciones desde la mesa de guerra.
    - Sistema de cartas de personajes que cambian de imagen según lo ocurrido en sus misiones.
    - Podes crear armas y armaduras con diagramas y materiales, podes ponerles nombre, cambiarles el color, y engarzarles runas.
    - Subes de nivel la inquisición y en base a ello ganas puntos que podes utilizar para obtener ventajas únicas.
    - Mapas gigantes para explorar con mucho loot y coleccionables (aunque muchas veces inservibles).
    - Misiones secundarias decentes.

    Acá terminaría todo lo bueno que tiene, y quiero dejar algo en claro. Este dragon age es infinitamente mejor que los demás en cuanto a exploración, pero flaquea en lo básico de los Dragon Age. Como el trato con los compañeros, las conversaciones y las elecciones.

    Lo malo:

    - Literalmente no importan un carajo tus elecciones. De las 70 horas de juego que llevo, las elecciones más importantes fueron elegir si los templarios se unian a mi como grupo o como personas libres, si los guardias grises se quedaban a ayudar o eran desterrados, quien debia morir en una parte en la que literalmente no era necesario que nadie se sacrificara, y quien sería el nuevo rey o algo así de Orlais (ni me acuerdo porque fue una mision super aburrida y toca huevos. Una misión muy parecida aunque más aburrida que la de Dragon age Origins cuando tienes que elegir al nuevo rey de Orzammar).
    Acabo de spoilear las eleciones mas importantes de la historia, ¿acaso les ha molestado?, porque estoy completamente seguro de que no. Ninguna de estas elecciones es relevante y aún así son las más importantes...
    - No podes repartir tus estadísticas, ahora cada vez que subas de nivel a diferencia de los otros 2 dragon age, no podes repartir tus stats, ya que se reparten automáticamente.
    - No podes configurar el comportamiento de tus compañeros. Ya no puedes poner cosas como "Si un enemigo ataca a X compañero (por ejemplo al mago), entonces protegerlo"... Como extraño estas funciones...
    - Mi pc me sobra para jugarlo con graficos en alto a 60 fps, y aún asi tengo problemas como que las pantallas de carga tardan 3 minutos enteros, tanto cada vez que abro el juego como cada vez que cambio de mapa.
    - POP-UPS de graficos y sonidos, ya que al terminar de pasar una pantalla de carga y seguir jugando los graficos parecen de minecraft pintados con acuarelas y los sonidos no se escuchan. Los graficos y el sonido tardan 1 minuto o 2 en acomodarse, y ciertos npc y objetos tambien cargan de la nada.
    - Incontable cantidad de bugs diversos que he grabado y subido a mi cuenta de youtube.
    - Cada tanto el juego se Freezea (se tilda) y se queda así durante 10 segundos o más. (Es el único juego de todos los que tengo que lo hace, así que no, no es mi disco ni es virus).
    - Las conversaciones normales (el 90% de las totales) se realizan sin animaciones, los personajes se quedan parados duros y las bocas apenas se mueven para simular que hablan... patético considerando que en el dragon age origins y en el 2, esto estaba mucho mejor currado.
    - Traducción pésima, tu personaje dice "naranja" y traducen "melones", y este ejemplo que acabo de dar es equivalente. Elijes "No te creo" y tu personaje dice "No te ayudaré", ¿Que mierda tiene que ver no creer con decidir no ayudar?, elecciones de mierda...
    - EXP mal repartida. Matar 4 enemigos en varios casos da menos exp que matar un animal...
    - Inteligencia aritificial retrasada, en doble sentido. Tus compañeros aveces se quedan trabados.. Tambien al tomar decisiones a la mitad de tus compañeros las desaprueban sin razón alguna. Ya no puedes formar amistad con todos, y ya no hay consecuencias si tus compañeros te odian. (En dragon age origins, si te comportabas como idiota se iban de tu grupo).
    - No se puede acercar la cámara. La cámara de este dragon age ya de por si está alejada de tu personaje, y no puedes acercarla... Yo siempre utilicé la cámara cerca de mi personaje, así que lógicamente ESTO ES MUY INCÓMODO.

    Como dragon age le doy un 5, ya que no cumple con lo básico de un Dragon Age. Como juego anónimo le doy un 7, pues mediocre pero aceptable. Como Simulador RPG de exploración le doy un 8, (le bajo 2 puntos por los BUGS).
    Este es sin duda el peor Dragon age por lejos, pues sin duda el Dragon Age 2 aunque sus escenarios eran estúpidamente pequeños y con gráficos repetidos, respetaba la escencia de Dragon Age. Hablar con tus compañeros y con las personas era una delicia. Me encantaba entablar conversaciones y avanzar en la historia siguiendo las misiones y tomando muchas elecciones que tenian varias consecuencias y cambiaban el rumbo de la historia. En Inquisition, ningun eleccion cambia el rumbo de nada...    … Expand

    In your first playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition seems like a good game. There's a great story Missy, but they are few! The plot of the game is extremely small, and the main villain empty. Almost the entire game consisted of running around the locations, the destruction of countless enemies, and performing boring tasks.
    The game is very beautiful, and the world to explore nice. Nice to just walk around lakaly, but this is the first hour .Afterwards just tired. One of the main problems is the influence points. The game consists of a dull grind and a few good story missions.
    The game has beautiful music that is pleasant to listen to. The characters are drawn beautifully, and a romantic line, some of them are really good, and sometimes reveals more of the character.
    The problem is that the second time through the game do not want to. You will return the memories of the grind and you will not go further than the first location. Lore the game has moved on, and the story is sometimes really good, but the game immersed in the endless grind.    … Expand

    The best of this game is the best of Bioware - the scenery, world building and 1 on 1 interactions.

The main culprits here are the overwhelming number of side quests and "items" you can collect... it may not be to far to say this game is more of a collect-a-thon than and RPG as it certainly does not discourage one from playing it that way. I found (after a second playthrough) that I enjoyed the game a lot more when I focused on things that actually drew me rather than just chasing every tick that lights up[ on my mini map but there is still this sense that a lot of the side quests, not matter how unique, seems incredibly hollow and almost pointless... if it were not for "its for the war and inquisition etc."

    *rant*The bards music is excellent but just like all Bioware games I've played so far the music is not compelling or interesting at all besides that one little do-dad that is played the whole game. The sound design is okay or decent but I just cannot take fighting a dragon as seriously when nothing is playing in the background or if it is just like "do dedede dumdum doooooo dooooo dum dum" but I also cant hear it and it jsut stops sometimes. I heard there were issues trying to use the Frostbyte engine to develop the necessary systems, and it does show in some places if you look hard enough, but this is still an underutilized catagory imo. I will give them that the quality of the music is good but it just does not work with the rest of the game.*endrant*

    Overall, I found this game provides a lot more good than bad although one might need to discipline themselves in order to avoid over-stimulation and boredom.    … Expand

    Inquisition is sadly nothing on the same level. The only point where the game excels is the art and graphical design. The world is amazing, but much else is on poor to mediocre level. The worst is the combat system which is very boring on hard difficulty, there is mostly no challenge but on the other side combat takes forever because enemies have extremely high health pools. This is the reason why it did take me 100 h to finish the game (without DLC content) and because in general the experience was boring I had to take 2-3 years in breaks to find motivation.

    In conclusion, inquisition is what you get when the marketing department says: make something that looks great and is simple to play on consoles, do everything else when there is time left in-between. Interestingly, this game got far better reviews than for example Fallout 76 which is a more interesting game. For me it is on the same low level as dragon age 2. However, when you are a fan of the dragon age world you can do not much wrong with the GOTY edition for 10€ on sale.    … Expand

    Este Dragon Age Inquisition es extraño, ya que no puedo decir que sea el juego perfecto o casi perfecto, ni tampoco puedo decir que sea una mierda como fue el Dragon Age 2, podemos decir que ha envejecido bastante mal, ya que se trata de un juego que salió entre generaciones y las consolas como la PS3 no daban para mucho más en su momento y eso se ve reflejado en muchos aspectos del juego.Este Dragon Age Inquisition es extraño, ya que no puedo decir que sea el juego perfecto o casi perfecto, ni tampoco puedo decir que sea una mierda como fue el Dragon Age 2, podemos decir que ha envejecido bastante mal, ya que se trata de un juego que salió entre generaciones y las consolas como la PS3 no daban para mucho más en su momento y eso se ve reflejado en muchos aspectos del juego. Pero bueno dejando esto de lado hay muchas otras cosas que no se pueden excusar por la época, decisiones en el gameplay y en la forma de llevar la historia lo cual deja muchísimo que desear la verdad, diré los puntos que más importantes a destacar me han parecido:

    Mapas:
    Hay muchos mapas, llenos de cosas y con montones de monstruos, npc´s, cosas interesantes que ver y sitios que visitar... pero.... el juego no lo aprovecha, cuando termines de completar el primer mapa para pasar al siguiente te darás cuenta de que ya has visto todos esos coleccionables del mapa o las innumerables notitas que hay por todos lados, que hacen de misiones secundarias para ganar experiencia.

    Por lo que se ve aquí prefirieron cantidad a calidad y esto me parece con diferencia de lo peor del juego, ya que hay ciudades, pueblos y pequeñas aldeas que parecen estar muertas, no coges misiones de personajes que te cuentan que ha ocurrido ,no, eso solo pasa en las principales, de normal en cada mapa encuentras 300 notas que dicen donde hay un tesoro o que paso, o quien mato a quien o x, y las ciudades normalmente pasas por ellas una vez como máximo o si una misión principal o de compañeros te hace volver. Estamos hablando de un juego que para completarlo y completar absolutamente todos los mapas y secundarias que tiene he tardado casi 100h cuando Origins haciendo exactamente los mismo duro la mitad 50h o 60h y se me hizo MUUUCHO más llevadero y divertido, ya que las ciudades se sentían mucho más vivas y las secundarias no se sentían como simples coleccionables.

    Compañeros:
    Hablando de algo muy bueno que tiene este juego son los compañeros, al igual que Dragon Age 2 les han dedicado más tiempo y más misiones y tipos de relaciones, de hecho, como única cosa mala que vería en este aspecto, es el hecho de que tengas que ir apropósito siempre, a hablar con ellos y sin saber si tienen algo nuevo que decir. Ya que como unas 2h de mi gameplay son de ir andando por la base central de la inquisición, buscando a los compañeros y escuchando sus frases predefinidas ya que no han avanzado aun en su historia y para cuando lo hagan no me van a avisar y me puedo perder su dialogo único. Eso me parece un punto bastante malo y podrían haber puesto o añadido una notificación en sus cabezas o en el mapa para saber si quieren hablar contigo, pero la verdad que la cantidad de opciones que tienes con ellos, como pueden acabar y la cantidad de cosas que puedes llegar a tener con cada uno me parece una LOCURA y de los mejores aspectos del titulo, me recordó mucho a Origins, New Vegas y otros muchos juegos que no te llevan de la mano y se modifican a TU historia tal y como tu la quieres.

    La historia principal:
    Uffff, esta muy bien podríamos decir, porque si que se amolda a lo anterior jugado en Origins y Dragon Age 2, ya que puedes ver aquellas decisiones de dejar a X o Y vivo o a X personaje le paso X cosa y etc.... En ese aspecto esta muy bien, pero sinceramente la historia que cuenta este Dragon Age Inquisition realmente no da para tantas horas, perfectamente podría ser un juego lineal de unas 12h si quitamos mapas y contenido que literalmente es paja, ya que la historia principal no pasa por todos los mapas y muchas veces te obliga a hacer secundarias, ya que pega saltos muy grandes de nivel. No esta mal podríamos decir, pero no esta a la altura de sus dos anteriores y del guion que tiene a estas alturas la saga, la verdad para el siguiente menos puntos en el mapa y curraros más las cinemáticas y dungeons de la historia, que el boss final y la cinemática que le sigue son una vergüenza, cuando lo que te están contando en verdad es superinteresante.

    En resumen es un buen juego si te fijas en el contenido y en lo que ofrece no hay duda de que pillarlo es muy buena opción y es un titulo que merece la pena jugarlo y rejugarlo apesar de sus cosas malas, pero esta lejos y muy lejos en mi opinión de ser un Game Of The Year de su momento, apesar de todo lo que hace bien.    … Expand

    Что-то улучшилось, что-то оказалось полностью утеряно. Сама по себе игра вполне себе неплохая но это уже не тот Dragon Age и совсем не те Bioware.

    After the second part, the Inquisition looks very good. Interesting characters, the combat system has also become better. But there are disadvantages, such as: uninteresting character development, sometimes a boring plot

    Good game but - bugs, and wrong level up/grind system. It would be not so bad if in middle of the game i had no good perk to choose. Its really bad when as archer not using poison at, but only poison perks are remaining.

    The most boring, tedious and grindy game I've ever played. **** Bioware and **** EA.

    If you want a better continuation to the Dragon Age series than Dragon Age 2. You got what you came for. Only bad thing is, it's not as good as Origins...Nothing will be better than Origins. Also no blood mages as a specialization...and they cut a lot of stuff that was in previous games.

    Better than the second game but much worse than the first. It's an average game in short. Even if I say it's better, I have to say that I liked it less than the second game.

    DA:I is an interesting case, it is an RPG and they put in a lot of effort to try to establish the world and characters but at the same time, most characters are boring. The only memorable ones are Cole and Cullen, the latter from the first few games and maybe Dorian. The rest are just poorly created, the VA saves them a little bit but there's only so much you can do.

The rest are just poorly created, the VA saves them a little bit but there's only so much you can do. I played a male Inquisitor and the females characters in the game are some of the most boring and poorly written stuff in the last decade. It's an insufferable lesbian, a token black character and an uglified 'butch' female compared to DA:2. Awful, I feel like the writers for the game are either gay men or far-left women, there is no chance there were straight staff in the writing room. They brought back Leliana and Morrigan which are from the first game and written infinitely better than the rest so there is that at least.

    The world is an MMO, great main questline plus some decent side companion quests but outside of those, it's usually collect 10 herbs and find my mirror type of garbage. One massive positive are the locations and also the animations, those were 10/10, way ahead of most other games for its time. This game would become the Harbinger of woke in gaming as it has many of the SJW points that were so popular in 2010-2015 before it morphed into the current woke when Americans elected Trump and 'creatives' lost their mind. Considering the company (Bioware) has been going down since ME3, I fully expect them to bomb and lead to layoffs when going broke with DA:4 but we'll see. This is not a bad game but only do the main questline and the side characters and slay some dragons, the rest is MMO garbage and there is some woke, though not obnoxiously much, if you also like/hate that.    … Expand

    It seems like it has just become an average RPG.

    Why try to put MMO like quests and things in thé perfection that was Origins...

    Lost what made this franchise good.

    The characters and lore are amazing, but the gameplay is just terribly boring.

    Best Dragon Age so far, hands down. Pity about the naff writing. [Issue#257, p.51]

    The masters over at Bioware have done it again. This epic journey into the world of Thedas will steal more than 100 hours of your time, hours so full of superb gaming that you'll never forget them.

    Despite numerous shortcomings, the new BioWare project is undoubtedly worth your attention. One of the best RPGs of 2014.
