    Un juego que te enamora, si bien es como un mmorpg, obviamente quitando lo de mmo, es un juego muy bueno con una historia que te llama a saber más. En lo tecnico, es juego está bien optimizado, tomando en cuenta que mi hardware no es puntero.

    I've never played all the way through a Dragon Age game before this.

    And unlike DA1 & 2 in Inquisition we have more dragons to hunt than ever, each was chalenging and fun.
    The ending was something that I should have expected but I didn't, wheater it was sequal baiting or dlc I cannot wait what they have in store for us next.
    This is a must own game if you are into the genre.

    This has everything a Bioware game should have. Good characters, good story, and an awesome world. People seem to just be complaining about nit-picky things that aren't really issues.

I play on PC, and I am very pleased with the gamepad controls. It's intuitive and fun, unlike the last two games(which I loved with a passion). This game ties in with Origins, II, and almost every book very well. The characters are all great. I was afraid that Varric would be the only interesting companion, but they're all great in their own way. This game is also very pretty. I play on maximum settings and the lighting alone is impressive.

    I have had a few minor hiccups with the game, like soldiers training not hitting where they were supposed to, or people standing in benches, but nothing important. People are overreacting about bugs, but this is a huge game, comparable to Skyrim, and it has less than a tenth of the problems. I've only had the game crash once, and I have already spent 60 hours in the game.

    Basically the complaints here are superficial or people not giving it a chance after Dragon Age II. The gameplay, graphics, story, and characters are top notch, and it is definitely the newest RPG to sink several hours into.    … Expand

    This game is a gem. I'm about 10 hours into it so far and there is nothing major for me to complain about.

I'm about 10 hours into it so far and there is nothing major for me to complain about. The only two gripes I have are that you can't right click on an item to move to it and the un-cinematic way in which your character talks to other characters. The only time the cinematic style of dialogue is used is when a major quest is completed; otherwise, when you talk to other characters, the camera displays the conversation in the same way as it displays your character when you're controlling him or her.

    The dialogue itself is superbly written and acted - and there is A LOT of dialogue. At the character creation screen, you can choose from two different voice actors to be the voice of your Inquisitor. For my character in particular (male human mage), you can choose between a British and American Accent. As is the norm in BioWare games, the voice acting, as I already said, is fantastic. Each area that you can explore is huge and there are a lot of optional side quests to do. However, completing any quest benefits the Inquisition's reputation, power (a currency used to buy locations on the war map to explore), number of NPCs working for you, or sometimes all three. So even completing side quests feels like you're contributing to your main campaign. Another aspect of the game worth mentioning is the adviser system. You'll have three advisers in total who represent your military strength, diplomacy, or spy service. There will be conflicts of opportunity on the war map throughout the entire game and you can resolve these conflicts by enlisting one of your advisers. When the adviser is has resolved the conflict, you'll either get a reward such as gold, reputation, or an item, or a new area to explore.

    In my opinion, this is the best RPG in the modern gaming world. Excellent work, Bioware. Under the glorious enlightenment and guidance from EA, a game publisher with precise long-term vision in future game development, Bioware finally manages to make a RPG suitable for everyone, but not just a game accessible only to a minority of hardcore RPG players.

    DA: Origins is an old-school and    In my opinion, this is the best RPG in the modern gaming world. Excellent work, Bioware. Under the glorious enlightenment and guidance from EA, a game publisher with precise long-term vision in future game development, Bioware finally manages to make a RPG suitable for everyone, but not just a game accessible only to a minority of hardcore RPG players.

    DA: Origins is an old-school and medicore game only appealing to a tiny market niche. DA II breaks the medicority, and introduces the popular mass effect decision tree and button-mashing mechanics, which attracts tons of Call Of Duty (COD) and action gamers around the world, contributing to its great success. However, it still suffers from a linear and small game world, and repetitive dungeons.

    DA: Inquisition evolves from its predecessors by combining the best elements of 2 popular RPGs in modern era. It adopts the sandbox open world, lightweight RPG perspective and enormous fetch quest system from the highly praised Elder Scroll Skyrim, as well as the popular decision tree mechanism and the combat elements from another Bioware's master piece, Mass Effects 3.

    By having a cohesive reasonance of 2 best elements from 2 outstanding RPGs, and adding tons of creative elements, this game simply becomes one larger than the sum of all parts. You have a large world to explore, tons of item collection and FedEx quests to play with, and the best button mashing mechanics to finish off your opponents. Skyrim and this game is great because they both remove the annoying character stat building mechanism. Stat is now only granted from equipment, how amazing and creative, isn't it? In addition, this game adopts the perfect RPG gaming style of Skyrim, i.e. explore first, just forget the plot, which removes player's frustration to recall memory about the main quest and story line. This is just like a great and sincere invitation to all COD fans and action gamers, as well as any potential causal gamers. It caters for the taste of all gamers around the world via greatly enhancing its accessibility. It is a master of everything rather than a jerk of all trade. This is a game for everyone!

    You may worry about that the return of the old-school tactical view from the mediocre DA:Origins may ruin your fantastic game play experience. Don't worry about that, it is just implemented for those hardcore players for their happiness in pausing the game all the time, breaking the pace of combat. This game can be handled easily by controlling your own character only under an action game style. The tactics setting of companion is simplified to an user friendly level for further accessibility. In contrast to DA: Origins, you can’t set up some complicated tactics for your companions, but this is unnecessary anyway. Friendly fire is disabled by default, so just forget your companions, and let them either fight or fall. You can handle fights easily by charging upfront and having high reflex in right timing of attack, dodge and button mashing. You can enjoy a fluid flow of combat all the time!

    Overall, by removing the complexity and annoyance from old-school RPG, adding the best elements from 2 most famous modern RPGs, and introducing an exciting button mashing combat mechanics to the game, this game has reached the highest height of RPGs that none in the world could ever reach. This is a milestone of RPG development, and should be referred to in future development of RPGs. Today is an important day that marks the beginning of revolution in RPG history! A new era of RPG has come! From now on, we can step forwards and forget about all classic RPGs in the old-school days. Everyone, express your praise and gratitude towards our beloved developers, and join us to have fun in this master piece of art now!

    In case if there are expansions or sequels for this gift from god, which are highly probable considering how successful this game is, we really hope that first-person shooting mode, QTEs and the mechanism of climbing tower to reveal map can be implemented. This will further induces passion from every gamers, because these elements are universally regarded by every gamer as the best features that have ever existed in shooter and action games!

    By the way, I am looking forwards to see at least 1000 DLCs for this game, because its scope is so huge, and with so much potential to further expand on. Don't keep us waiting, our wallets are ready! We hope that our beloved developers will listen to our suggestion and request, and release the DLCs and expansions ASAP for us. ;)    … Expand

    The return to Thedas as the Inquisitor is spectacular! With an engrossing story and environment which seamlessly fits with the action packed gameplay, you once again think like a general and fight like a spartan. Again Bioware delivers a deep and complicated cast who truly become more actual friends than mere characters in a story. A prime example of this is the enigmatic Iron Bull voiced by acting virtuoso Freddie Prinze Jr, who reunites with Bioware after voicing Mass Effect 3's breakout star James Vega.

    I am writing this review from the perspective of a guy who thoroughly enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins, but never got more than 10% of the way through Dragon Age 2. I feel like there are a lot of people in the same boat so I will try to focus on aspects of this game that you will consider improved or made worse since the first games. Keep in mind I've spent ~20 hours in the game at this point,I am writing this review from the perspective of a guy who thoroughly enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins, but never got more than 10% of the way through Dragon Age 2. I feel like there are a lot of people in the same boat so I will try to focus on aspects of this game that you will consider improved or made worse since the first games. Keep in mind I've spent ~20 hours in the game at this point, I have not completed the main campaign however I have a very good understanding of the storyline, combat, crafting, and other systems.

    STORY - So far, the overarching story has been fairly vanilla. It's the prototypical fantasy "demons attack/need a hero" situation that we've all witnessed before. That being said, the individual storylines that further the main quest are exceptional. At first I thought the writing was "okay" but after playing the game more I can say with confidence that the writing is very good. This game also draws heavily upon a lot of in-depth Dragon Age lore, so if you've either read the books or played through the first two games in their entirety there will be many aspects of the story that you'll enjoy.

    COMBAT - As others have stated the combat feels like a combination of DA:O and DA2, but I had to change some keybindings around before I felt comfortable. How you enjoy the combat will depend on a couple of factors -- if you played DA:O exclusively in the isometric view and spent a lot of time tactically setting up every encounter, you might not enjoy this combat as much as Origins. You can still achieve a similar playstyle on nightmare difficulty, but it does feel different. If you absolutely loved DA2's actiony/button-mashing combat, you will be mostly at home assuming you stick to easy or normal difficulty. This is a key fact -- changing the difficulty settings have a massive impact on the overall feel and pace of the game.

    RPG DEPTH - I know this is very important for a lot of people, myself included. This is likely where the game will either blow away or not live up to your expectations. The leveling system feels more rudimentary/simplified in this game than in previous Bioware titles. You are not able to modify your stats when you level up, which feels odd. Instead you're given one point to sink into various skill trees depending on your class. If you can get passed that fact, though, expect for a treat. The game has a downright ludicrous number of quests, areas to explore, piece of rare loot to acquire, and cool things to discover off the beaten path. I need to specifically mention the crafting system, it's implemented perfectly in this game and it is both rewarding and fun to craft an epic weapon or piece of armor. Overall, I can easily see this game having more than 100 hours of content.

    DECISIONS/PLAYER IMPACT: This has been a real highlight for me. I know Bioware is known for forcing players to make difficult decisions, but never have I done so to this extant. Massive portions of Inquisition will turn out differently (as will large parts of your playthrough) depending on choices you're forced to make on-the-spot. Personally I love this, because it genuinely feels like I'm crafting my own story. Plus this means I'll have more new content to enjoy on my second playthrough.

    GRAPHICS/PERFORMANCE: First I'll state my PC info: 2560x1600 resolution, Windows 7, 16 gigs of RAM, i7 2600k CPU, EVGA GTX780ti (3gb). I've been running the game with every setting fully maxed out at an average of 35FPS. For me, it looks phenomenal. The effects, whether it be a fireball illuminating a dark hallway or a creature being encased in white ice look fantastic. The character models and textures are all very well done, but the post-processing can make the game look artificially blurry at times. I get the occasional lag spike every several minutes, but considering what settings I'm running the game at I cannot complain.

    GLITCHES: The game has run very well for me, I've not had a single crash so far. Only issue I can think of is the odd background movement of my party members... if I am strolling through a town, they often end up getting into one-another's way and/or teleporting on top of eachother. It looks funny and can break immersion but it's not a game breaking issue at all.

    After spending a few days with the game, I can say with confidence that this is the RPG I've been waiting for. It's got the perfect mixture of Bioware presentation and Elder Scrolls exploration... some sticklers will find that alienating, but I think the vast majority of both Bioware and RPG fans will enjoy this game.    … Expand

    The open worlds are massive. Some are smaller than others, but the first real place you go to is actually quite huge.
    Anyone commenting on the story you should take with a grain of salt. Most professional reviews I saw said the game takes at least 80/90 hours to complete and that's with not having done everything... so that means people wrote a review based on a few hours of gameplay.
    I myself am currently only 3 hours into the game and just BARELY started your first actual Inquisition mission.
    I honestly believe the red reviews are Bioware and EA haters. The only thing I will say that is somewhat true is the game has the occasional stutter in a cutscene. But that was mentioned in professional reviews and if you are going to let that get in the way of your game... you have problems.

    The hybrid of open world and strong story can be a little awkward sometimes- don't get bogged down in the sidequests and you won't be disappointed- just do them as you come across them and progress the main story whenever you can.

    I truly enjoyed this game. This is probably due to the fact that I am older than 10. If you liked Dragon Age: Origins but disliked Dragon Age 2, this game will not disappoint. I will say, it's probably best to have either played through Origins and 2 or at least read through the synopsis online.

    Truly a masterpiece, the more I play the more I love it. Yes the game has some PC UI issues but other than that is a perfect 10! Don't listen to the haters, This is one of the best game of all TIME!!

    P.S- I had a much deeper review but for some reason it was removed, I guess they don't want me to praise this game too much in a deeper explanation lol.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition has exceeded my hopes and expectations. I was a tad disappointed in people when I started reading reviews here.

    Inquisition makes up for how short Dragon Age 2 was. There are more quests and mini story lines to add onto the main one. The graphics of scenery and characters have gotten incredibly better compared to the previous games. Who cares if the characters are a little bit shiny and plastic-looking? At least they decently look human compared to the robot-looking characters in the previous games. The only Dragon Age game that I thought was appropriate to play on the PC was Origins. Inquisition makes sense to be played on a station because a controller seems to make more sense rather than a keyboard. There is a true sense of character development and a lot of options for romance.

    I mean, you can send agents to do your bidding! You can recruit the most unknowing and surprising agents around the world map. You make all the choices of what to say or do.

    I'm sure there's more, but I'm only about five hours into the game, and I intend to take my time. I'm enjoying this game so much.    … Expand

    Amazing game, beautiful environments, excellent storyline, great characters. Not a hack and slash game, while combat is important, so is diplomacy, politics, investigation and conversation. A well rounded game. Some glitches like all new games, but they will get worked out. Well worth the money to play. Some may not like the story or the functionality but that does NOT make it a bad game,Amazing game, beautiful environments, excellent storyline, great characters.

    I'm a PC fanboy through and through, but I'm not ignorant of the changing markets. The days of pc exclusivity are gone. Consoles are here to stay, and as far as businesses are concerned money is #1. That means 95% of games will be ported. It's time to adapt or die. If you don't like the way a game plays with mouse and keyboard, go buy yourself a $15 wired Xbox 360 controller...

    As far as the game is concerned, from the 8 hours I've played I've found the game to be amazing. Gorgeous Open world exploration always makes for a good time. A complex crafting system keeps you on the lookout for any and all nodes and wandering critters. Excellent dialogue options. And countless side activities and quests mean you'll be able to take your time (this isn't a few hours to beat, and shelf it game). Everything I've seen so far has been great, can't wait to sink myself deeper into the world.    … Expand

    This is my first review on Metacritic, but i thought i would add my 2 cents in.

    For those who were expecting an RPG that was filled with lore, beautiful landscape, intriguing storyline and just that something extra, then this is definitely the game for you :)

    With regards to the combat system, I concur with some commentary that it is a little clunky. However, that being said, unless your IQ level resides somewhere around room temperature, the system isn't hard to adapt to or even understand. Bioware does a great job at helping users understand the system.

    Secondly, whilst the graphics may not be at the quality of a Diablo 3 cut scene they are in no way as weak as some reviews have made it out to be. The character creation interface, landscaping, item detail provides a wonderful insight.

    The storyline is excellent, leaving users with hard decisions to make that ultimately can have an effect on a later outcome, depending on choices you make. Your fellow compainions love/hate are also impacted by choices. The humour is there to enjoy, not condemn and whilst sometimes predictable, players are also at times second guessing what's next to do. What is the right choice? How can i create a win/win scenario etc.

    Ultimately i hink this game is fantastic and look forward to spending many enjoyable hours playing the game.

    A lot of the hate appears to be system issues, people not understanding the combat system (hey reading is tech right!) or was expecting DA: Origins 2.0.

    For those who have played the game with an open mind, attempted to give it an actually go so will see in the positive response. For all those 0's due to "Derrr i crashed.....Derrr i don't know how to loot, is it LMB or RMB" are just a tragedy.    … Expand

    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.
