    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.

    When I heard about this at first I was on the fence. Finished DA:O and thought it was average. Didn't care for the romance and spent most of my time just wanting to get the game over. Thought it was ok for a dumbed down RPG. What I expected with this was that Bioware would fix the problems with DA2 and give us DA3: Skyrim. I was wrong.

    This wasn't made for the PC and it shows. Just more of the same. It feels like an adventure game with rpg elements and combat tacked on as an afterthought. But if I don't like the story, or think I've pretty much played it 8 years ago, it all falls apart. DA just isn't my line of games. Don't know what I was expecting.    … Expand

    I think this is a good game. When I first started playing I did so for 6 hours straight and I had to quit because I had to go to bed. It consumed me from the start, great atmosphere, fun mechanics and the fighting feels powerful. The mucis is awesome and the world feels a lot more open than what I thought it would be. A huge step up from DA2.

    I should start by saying that I HAVEN'T FINISHED YET. In fact i've only really played 30 minutes of actual gameplay so far, and i do quite like the gameplay and the graphics are pretty good but i find that my framerate isn't that great its 30fps sometimes a bit lower and I have the recommended specs for the game.

    Cons:

    - Lipsyncing is also bad

    I'd give it a 7.5/10 so far, although each pro and con have 3 things, the cons for the most part can be looked past, the framerate isn't unbearable, i dont really have a problem with there being a lack of story this far in, the only major con is sitting through cutscenes in which the character models open there mouths after there lines half way through.    … Expand

    The game is improved upon its predecessor in many ways the gripes to be had involve interface and some clunky controls. The story is inspired characters are deep and so is the world. I have 16 hours invested and have not left the first zone (you can if you want but im a completionist)

    4. Looting is clunky and bad. I want to grab stuff quickly and move on.
    5. Graphics is decent, but nothing jaw dropping. Believe it or not, my modded Skyrim looks way better.
    6. Main story - mediocre.
    7. Character development could be better. Some abilities are just not fun. And Id like to see more ranks of improving useful skills.
    8. Poor optimization. Battlefield 3 on same engine flies like a batterfly on my PC. DAI isnt smooth at all.
    9. Many annoying little things that they could easily fix before release but didnt care. Like when you run forward and press M, map appears but imediately scrolls up. Or your character doesnt autoattack in normal mode.
    10. Followers stuck and dont listen commands sometimes.
    11. Enemy patrols respawn constantly which I hate.
    12. Goddamn chests and gold piles put in random places ruin immersion for me. Skyrim did so much better job at treasures placement.
    13. Character creator is bad and doesnt offer variety in characters you can make. There are many sliders but I just couldnt make what I want.
    14. Crafting - I dont know where all those praises come from. THey just made you grind more resources, thats it. Not much real depth here.
    15. Multiplayer - boring grindfest where you forced to grind and grind and grind to even make class you like. Played one match. Never again I touch this garbage.

    There are good things too ofc.
