    Awful game. I was so excited to play this as I am BIG fan of DA - Origins, but didnt like DA 2 at all. The graphics were great, the sound and store seemed cool but this is NOT a PC RPG. There is a f@cking JUMP button, wtf??? Arcade style fights. Really disappointed, I returned the game after 2 hours of play and no NOT recommend this to anyone looking for a turn based RPG.

    Modern games are made for the elite or wealthy. This game is not even on the dual-core processor, I know many people who have been on startup black screen. Because of the new types of protection game lag terribly. A feeling that game developers do not care about users, the main goal is to earn money. I do not advise buying these games. Developers do not care about us, the players.

    This game has no redeeming features it is not an RPG it's just an action game with annoying poorly written party members this is the twilight novel of videogames. Poorly written with a bad story.

    Trash, Complete and utter trash. Why did they make this game? It is no way a near as good as their previous games like NWN and BG2 I simply refuse to believe that they are from the same developer. This game is truly disgusting it is a crime against humanity.

    Let's think about this calmly and rationally. Bad story check. Action game play no role playing elements check. Bugs and glitches check. Inferior to DA:O check.

    Basically if you purchase this game you are doing the gaming industry a disservice I got a refund for this trash. You should too.

    A game that panders to the lowest common denominator and all but completely alienates what few bioware fans there were left. This game relies entirely on tricking people into buying it with hype and provides a shoddy pathetic attempt at being an RPG. You would have to be very desperate to play this game.

    Cringeworthy writing, mutilated tactical camera, bad voice acting and an awful attempt at open world. The fact that Bioware have gone from Baldur's Gate, Kotor, NWN to this would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

    The only thing I could think of to compare to Dragon Age: Inquisition would be if the hottest girl in the world agreed to have sex with you and then you take off her pants and a giant thigh slapper smacks you right in the face. That was Dragon Age for me.

    The game is very underwhelming and feels like a mash up of a handful of others games (skyrim, mass effect, star wars the old republic, etc.) but never outshines what it has taken. The characters are mostly cookie cutter providing little entertainment to a very generic story that is derivative of DA:2, whom provided a good share of it's bland back-story that proceeds into it's predecessor.The game is very underwhelming and feels like a mash up of a handful of others games (skyrim, mass effect, star wars the old republic, etc.) but never outshines what it has taken.

    I did enjoy the combat but had difficulties on normal with enemy level scaling and party AI. Had some problems with cut-scenes glitches, the voices and effect not syncing, and invisible walls that limited the partial open world they had. Nothing really memorable about this game except it's great graphics and good voice acting.    … Expand

That is exactly what happened with Inquisition.

    The Problems: The combat is disorienting (camera control issues), and is more of a click fest versus strategic. The graphics are okay, but nothing spectacular. Dialogue is generic and at times seemingly pointless. Controlling character via keyboard and mouse is a struggle, especially so during combat (no auto-attack). The menus are not sized right, and thus cumbersome to work with. Too often companions will do this 'instant teleportation' where they pretty much fall out of the sky besides you if the distance between you and them gets too great. If you are looking for immersion, this probably won't cut it for you, and contrary to what has been said - I didn't find it an open world at all. Case in point - combat to me means sometimes pulling back (trying to get away). Being chased down, running for your life is fun. Inquisition, you have none of this, as NPC's seem range bound to a specific area. If you step within their area they come after you, but the moment you step out - you don't exist to them. Besides these points, the game overall is just plain boring. There is nothing that grabbed my attention. No 'wow' factor, just a big bloated, clunky game, that tries to do everything and as a consequence doesn't do any one particular thing exceptionally well.

    The last point I want to mention is the story. It is uninspired, boring, and though I realize it could get better with time - how much time we talking? If the story can't grab me within the first 12 hours, then sorry you have missed the mark

    Honestly, I really wanted to like this game. I totally bought the hype up, and preordered it. That will be the very last time I ever do that again with any game. Really disgusted with the professional/critic reviewers for giving Inquisition stellar reviews of 85% and up (one of them gave it a 100% - someone is on Bioware or EA payroll). I just can't see how anyone could play this and give it above 80% - unless maybe this is the first game they ever played and have no reference point.    … Expand

    Not to mention the other weaknesses of this game such as poor voice acting and equally poor graphics, even on the highest settings. The actors sound like strangers pulled off the street, with stiff and cold voice-overs even Microsoft Sam could trump. The UI (User Interface) is a horrific butchering of DA1's, with stats reduced to nothing but bars. The entire menu miraculously feels incredibly cluttered even though it's throwing LESS statistics and overall information at you.
    I really wanted to give Bioware the benefit of the doubt and hope ME3 was the sign that they should clean up their act, but it's become clear that they're set in their ways. I will probably never purchase a Bioware product again thanks to this complete mess.    … Expand

Everything from the writing to the animations are atrocious, and the ending beggars belief in how horribly handled it is. Breaking every promise that was given to us and pandering far harder than any title I know of, this game has become a landmark achievement in failure. The combat is also very poorly done but that's somewhat forgivable since this is an RPG where story takes precedent. Sadly, the story here is, as I said, horribly written (which is the most I can say without giving away spoilers).
    Honestly the only saving grace which really can't even be called that considering how poorly written this tripe is, is Cassandra. Her voice actress, her character and admittedly even her design are all well executed. Sadly the rest of this game can be executed in a different fashion, by being purchased used.

    There is a lot of bloating being done by EA employees and fans on one side and EA haters on another. If you want to get a real understanding of whether or not to play this game, I would recommend watching a silent play through of the prologue and some random scenes. You shouldn't rely solely on these reviews alone. Anyways, lets me get to why I gave a negative score to Dragon AgeThere is a lot of bloating being done by EA employees and fans on one side and EA haters on another. If you want to get a real understanding of whether or not to play this game, I would recommend watching a silent play through of the prologue and some random scenes. You shouldn't rely solely on these reviews alone. Anyways, lets me get to why I gave a negative score to Dragon Age Inquisition. First let me try to keep my history with the Dragon Age series short and sweet. Dragon Age Origins was the first game that I played which granted me a lot of freedom that I was not used to seeing from a game. It gave a Dungeon and Dragons sort of feeling that was fun. The mechanics, story, characters, and so much more left me quite hopeful for the future of this series back in 2010. Dragon Age II comes along, and I was sort of disappointed. It was an okay game with its own ups and downs, but it did not give off the same sort of freedom and atmosphere that Origins had provided. The game had a linear story, and I, along with many others, assumed that it functioned rather as sort of prequel or prologue to Dragon Age III. I was renewed with happiness and excitement while waiting for this game. Up until about year and a half ago, when I looked more into this series that I enjoyed, I started to lose hope for it. First it came with the delay. I understood that they wanted to perfect it before release and added the multiple origin feature to the game, but I was still disappointed in the delayed release. I started looking into some of the writers, developers, and other people who were working on the series, and my heart sank in my chest. I will not be naming names, but some of them did not even play video games or seemed to be appropriate. Some of their previous works were far below par in contrast to what one would expect for such a big name title. After some time, there was the 30 minute game play release; I was hopeful. I was then disappointed again. I noted a lot of clipping issues, poor game play mechanics, and just terribly writing. I had planned on not getting this game for some time either used or when the price dropped, but a friend of mine had gotten me a copy as a present. (It was an PlayStation 3 copy, and I was used to playing these games on the desktop computer, so that may have skewed my opinion on it.) So I spent the night playing it yesterday. It was bland and bad. The graphics were below my expectations. Textures seemed very clunky or rough. The characters were fairly unattractive and disappointing. There were a lot of bugs with some scenes and game play (which I was aware of ahead of time from the game play presentation but not for those horrid scenes). The animations were very robotic, rigid, or stiff; it was as if the game was made a decade ago. The dialogue and writing was compatible to what I would expect to find on a fan fiction website or deviant art. The companion characters themselves were varying. I do not want to give to my spoilers, but one character was just particularly terrible in regards to interaction. They also seemed to be aimed at one general opinion which was disappointing. Rather than a diverse group of characters with different opinions, there was just different wrapping on them. That is not to say there were clones of each other or agreed with everyone else, but it is hard to explain with providing spoilers. Let me go on to most important part, the game play. It was not fun. There were bugs with the camera and enemy AIs. The mechanics and level system was not improved much from Dragon Age II. It is described by one YouTuber as being as if it was an MMO. I am not fond of most MMO games, so this may be why I am not fond of the game play. There is more that I could go into about this game, but I do not believe that will change your feelings on this game. When it comes down to it, you can either to play it or do not. After telling my opinion on it, I can not sway your curiosity. Even I wanted to see it, but instead of buying it new or at the current price, wait for used copies to be sold, a decrease in price, borrow it, rent it, or something where you don't spend too much on it. If you like it, support the developers and give your opinion on it. If you do not like it, don't support the developers and give your opinion why. I would also recommend that you do not trust most of these game reviews by "professionals" critics as they tend to be more dishonest then a used car salesman. So either buy it or don't. I would recommend you don't and just borrow it from a friend if you have to buy it.… Expand

    I am struggling to put in to words how bad it is, you almost have to experience it for yourself. I played a mage for a couple hours and a melee character for a couple hours. The mage wasn't too bad. It's pretty much point and click. The melee was beyond useless. The camera jumps around like crazy, from 15 feet behind your character to almost a first person view, especially against bosses. This makes it incredibly frustrating to actually land attacks. So many miss, and with the long attack animations makes for a death sentence.

    The "tactical camera", if you can call it that, is barely higher than the zoomed out 3rd person view. It doesn't give even close enough to a big enough view of the battlefield.

    The camera is so bad that you'll constantly be accidentally clicking new party members trying to focus your attacks as the camera has a seizure.

    The WASD controls with Q and E to strafe are so clunky I feel like I'm playing Super Mario Brothers on Nintendo.

    There's a reason the console user reviews of this game are 2-3 points higher - it's a blatant console port. I'm going to give it a whirl with a controller, but if you plan on playing this game with a keyboard and mouse (which worked beautifully in DAO), save your time and money.    … Expand

    For me having a state of the art laptop and it shuts down because of this game is just to ........ .

    To end this I saw the reviews and I want to say this: "Guidance from EA" pffff let's not forget what they did to DA2 plus EA is just looking for your money. As long as you give them what they want they do not give a damn about you sorry for the truth. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND STOP SLEEPING. Next gen games - if this is the example then it will collapse the game community totally.

    I can hardly believe that this game has high scores but I think the game reviewers where either drunk or drugged or both. Sorry for my bad language but they KILLED THE DA SERIES TOTALLY.

    Dragon Age: Origins - OMG game, amazing story, amazing in all that is amazing;
    Dragon Age 2: - big punch in the face of the DA lovers, Hardly to believe everyone says it was a cool game(yeah right)
    Dragon Age Inquisition: -big punch in the face and another big punch in the face and another one till the person gets bored of punching you in the face.

    - ... try it and ask a refund : maybe you'll find some good sides.    … Expand

    Beautiful, but almost unplayable as melee with these horrible pc controls, sad but true... :( I really looked forward to this game and it could be great, if the DA:O controls would be implemented, for that you can play proper with mouse and keyboard...

    I played around 20 hours on both SP and MP mode and yes I just created Metacritic account just for DA: I. Here's what I thought :

    Awful game, I played both DA: O and DA2, this game is slightly better than DA2. I'm not saying I want this game to be the next DA:O in terms of gameplay etc, I'm okay with a brand new system but DA:I simply failed in almost every aspect.

I'm not saying I want this game to be the next DA:O in terms of gameplay etc, I'm okay with a brand new system but DA:I simply failed in almost every aspect. The combat feels clunky and sluggish, the characters' textures and models are just horrid and weird, the voice acting quality is under par, the tactical camera is basically unusable on PC, the user interface is so not PC friendly (yes they said they're fixing it), the story is mediocre at best, the skills system and variation are very little, the Tactics (AI settings for characters) is very very horrible and simplified as though as this is a mobile game.

    Now for the MP, the amount of active skills you can bring to a mission is 4 maximum, so most of the time I just press and hold left mouse button to auto attack. There's not even a number indicator on both the HP bar and MP/Stamina bar. The worst part of the MP is they're using P2P for the MP, about 80% of the time I simply got dc'ed and no, there's nothing wrong with my connection, I played WoW, Diablo 3, RIFT, Dragon Nest, Battlefield 4, CS:GO, FF XIV etc perfectly and no major dc just like DA:I. I already try to clear the TCP/IP, change the DNS, turned off my firewall and AV but still dc'ed a lot. Also even when I got connected and got a "bad" host, the game is simply lagged a lot due to P2P system.    … 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.
