But this game has done everything it can to shatter my view of Bioware. I have only played about 6 hours, and I am thinking of unloading and reloading my dishwasher as a way to add some fun into my evening. I only paid $32.00 for this. It was about $31.50 too much.… Expand

    I was really looking forward to this, as I loved the first Dragon Age game. And what a game it is. I absolutely love the visuals, surroundings and gameplay. Unfortunately, after seven hours play I stumbled upon a game breaking bug. I suddenly couldn`t load my save games. Ea and Bioware`s forums are full of people having the same issue, and two months after release the game is still unplayable.

    Every once an a while you'll bump into a pack of wondering enemies to mix things up but the combat is so laughably easy especially if you craft your own gear. To be fair I didn't finish the game but I had seen enough to know that if I kept playing it would be the same boring fetch quests and combat for another 20 hours. As far as the story - its forgettable at best. Considering how bad everything else is I can't imagine it getting any better as the game progressed.    … Expand

    Bottom Line: Combat was not fun.

    In a series about adventuring and party-oriented cross-class slugfests (with usually decent and poignant story to back it up and lend purpose) DA:I is simply missing the key components to make it enjoyable.

    In a series about adventuring and party-oriented cross-class slugfests (with usually decent and poignant story to back it up and lend purpose) DA:I is simply missing the key components to make it enjoyable. I cannot comment on story because I realized it would be a miserable aggravation to play through and returned it after thirty minutes.

    I loved DAO and even DA:2 despite it's drawbacks. What lead me to my conclusion was:

    Tactics: huge downgrade from the flexibility and behavior controllability of Dragon Age 2. There is no auto attack and the character you control will not snap to it's orders. it has to be physically placed and then repeatedly told to attack by the player. Even indicating a target and holding the attack command will result in your character sitting still and swiping uselessly at air unless you personally move him into position. In a series about party management where combat relies on precise positioning, it turns the slick action into an impossible hassle.

    Simple movement through the world was instantly aggravating. My character moved as though he was trudging through knee-deep molasses in the heat of combat, a useless quality in a dual-wielding rogue.

    Interface: the interface is large, blocking up way too much of the screen, and far more visually complex than what it should be. The DA2 interface was sleek, somewhat minimalist, and highly functional. Coming from DA2 where I could snap around the battlefield like an overcaffeinated god and issue timely and effective orders that the AI could rapidly and properly execute, this was a mess. Getting a good view of the battle was often very difficult.

    Customizeability: in DAO and DA 2 there is tons of leeway in how to spec your characters to succeed even when using wildly different builds on the same character. In DAI this is essentially gone, because the computer assigns your stat points for you. Building the ultimate specific-purpose character is no longer a possibility.

    If you are coming from DOA or DA 2 and are looking to carry on the good high-octane work, you will be very disappointed in the basic gameplay of this installment, as I was.    … Expand

    i grow up with games like Baldur's Gate,Icewind Dale,Neverwinter Nights and then DAO came.What an apocalypse,a truly turn based RPG,great story,great combat system,great companions.
    Then DA2 came,felt strange but it is a game that you can enjoy even if it is more action playstyle oriented.
    After a long anticipation DA3 came and...what a dissapointment...
    Not a turned base/strategic fights RPG non a pure action oriented..
    The game is obvious made for consoles and NOT a Pc,you really cant click to move,cant click to loot,menu is really bad,no tooltips on spells!,have to press the attack button all the time...camera is also terrible.
    Graphics look good to me overall but i really strugle to play it in fights and i do not enjoy it.
    Call me romantic but i reall miss the old black isle/bioware titles,games for more "hardcore" players for sure but they are great for my taste.I wrote this review more becouse i am dissapointed than to give an overall picture of the game.
    Worst thing is that looks so cheap and convenient in may ways,from story,questing to the characters design and their psychology.Also i can not find any reason of using the "tactical" camera.Today i bought the game and played some hours and i feel dissapointed and i admit it,sad.
    My last words,if you are a romantic old rpg player like BG and the other bioware-black isle games,if DAOrigins was the next big thing for you after them then i strongly suggest NOT to buy this game.
    If you just do not care and want to have some fun then this title could be interesting for you.
    As for me if i am to play an epic action game that i smash my ps pad buttons i prefer to play something like God of War instead.But then i suppose this is called evolution?Thanks but not good for me.    … Expand

    DAI is big, veru big. And little else. Everything except for the music and the landscapes is, at the very least, unfinished, at worse, a beta stage untested crap (like Hissing Wastes).

    Story: Is there a Story, other than kill stuff? AI: bad as hell. Tactical camera is probably the worst in this bad game. "Hold position" doesn't work, and companions do whatever they want, including    DAI is big, veru big. And little else. Everything except for the music and the landscapes is, at the very least, unfinished, at worse, a beta stage untested crap (like Hissing Wastes).

    Story: Is there a Story, other than kill stuff?

    AI: bad as hell. Tactical camera is probably the worst in this bad game. "Hold position" doesn't work, and companions do whatever they want, including ridiculous warps. So often it gets easier to kill a boss soloing it than having stupid companions at your side, that will be bothering you all the time, jumping into traps, running into enemy fire and staying there, etc. You can kill everything soloing with an archer, even dragons that will not do anything if you are far enough.

    Loot: once again, crap. 25 years later still insisting with random item loot!!!!!!!!! Player want to look well, and want to look well all game round, not just after a strike of luck in the last hour of a full 130 hours playthrough. Loot for crafting materials is ok. Loot for items, including schematics, only works in mmorpg. Every item in the game should be achievable by work, hard work. Never by pure luck.

    Characters Art: another 0. What platic hair is that? There were games in the 90's with better hairs, come on!!!! Lack of armor models (90% of them are the same 3 models for every character or race you play). Clipping and more clipping: hair-ears, weapons-coats, boots-floor

    Hissing Wastes deserves a special mention: Such a buggy and unfinished zone, for the love of God. You will find hundres of items floating in the air (boxes, chests, even characters), there is no story at all there, just a big desert with good loot they have put there to compensate the stupid desing of the whole zone.

    Overall: DAO was a 10/10, DA II was a 0/10, and this DAI is, just because of the size, the music, and the landscapes, a 2/10. Another disappointment from EA-Bioware.    … Expand

    Plot is uninteresting. Fetch quests abound. Combat is button mashing. Camera angles can be clunky. There's no real atmosphere or immersion like Origins had.

    Graphics are not really exceptional, playing at ultra settings.

    Now comes the juicy part, ALL controls are made for consoles. ALL OF THEM. Menus, attacks, spell bar...you name it. Movement is atrocious, I don't really get why they couldn't simply implement DA:O controls, it would have been less effort and more gain.

    Combat is abysmal, you just press R to attack - yes you press R to autoattack and do nothing - while spamming whatever spell you want, not that it does any difference since you can barely even aim.

    And there's the tactical view...oh my god it's unbelievably bad, you can't control it with mouse (LIKE IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS TO) and WASD don't pan the camera....they ROTATE IT. It is actually the most frustrating thing I've ever seen in a RPG. Uninstalled the game 10 minutes after the tactical view was introduced.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I apologize for my English.

    I created this account only for Dragon Age Inquisition (The worst game ever, for me).

    I played Dragon Age Origins which was almost perfect game for me and replayed it many times. Even last time when I use cheats to be almost immortal, I enjoyed this game because of epic story, dialogs and many other things. The combat system in DA:O is good. I am real fan of this game. Then they released Dragon Age 2.... For me not bad game, not bad at all. Differences is huge from first game but it still playable. I played DA 2, I think 4 times, includes last time with cheats to complete faster to start new game. Want to say I waited Dragon Age Inquisition very, very much. I pre-ordered it as well. Before it released I played last two games as I mention with cheats. So I can compare the all three games with no hesitation. First two games I always beat on Nightmare even in first tries. They are very hard games on that difficulty, but I manage to complete them with no problems. After I complete this games I start the "Epic" Dragon Age Inquisition.

    I started it of course on Nightmare. I forget to mention that I am PC gamer, only PC and I think all people must burn all this damn consoles! F......k them! I apologize. So this game is unplayable on pc at least it is very hard. You can't use mouse to walk, if you suddenly press left button the slow animated attack begins... It is not very bad but irritate as hell. You can't pick up loot as in previous games. Now you must came very close to what you want to pick up. Why EA done this, why this sudden changes to controls? Because they planned this game for consoles, I think only for consoles. But!!!! yei you can jump like an idiot. This I wanted so hard. Can't imagine an RPG game without this option, this so useful!!!!!!! Maybe the brains of developers team jumps out from them and go to find better thing to do. And it's not actual RPG game at all. So I can tell that controls are insane on mouse and keyboard. Tactical camera is a abomination of the tactical cameras of previous two games.

    So this crappy parody of Dragon Age is not an actual RPG as I mentioned before. Its action MMO style game with some elements of real RPG. The EAware ruined it very hard. For example the core game quests is MMO style, go to A location, collect X items then go to B location and do it again, and again, an so on.... If developers think it's cool to be like farmer or miner, or crappy cowboy, why they cant simply create miner or harvest simulator games! I say that I am Inquisitor not a fu...g peasant!! This is unacceptable. If They want to create MMO game so create it, please do not ruin epic franchises like Dragon Age. This is Legendary universe! But now it completely consumed buy real world taint. I mean the money and business. DA:I has the most horrible quests in all games that I played before. This many hours of useless quest have no impact on main story. And I can tell that main quests is also very poor and simple, very little of interest. The story of Dragon Age universe ruined for me completely, dead and forgotten. The EA cares only for many. They forget about old fans that like this epic storyline in DA:O and some of DA 2 like me. Developers made this game for 9 years old kids who don't cares about plot just like smash everything in casual mod and jump in not an open world. There is many invisible walls and it feels like old DA2 corridor game, only this corridors is slightly wider.

    The characters are boring and stupid, fail monotone dialogs. In combat your allies like bunch of stupid fat sheep or pigs that are very brainless. Maybe I play this game when people create cheats and you can solo Nightmare mod instant kill all enemies. The skill system is worse than in DA 2 simple skill trees. Attribute are don't exists at all. Ok there is attributes but you can't do anything with them like in last games. Maybe you want powerful magic based mage with small amount of HP and Mana. But no you can't, you must play that we pro epic develop team create. And why there is no Healers???? They are MUST to be. So many other fail thing with this game. I played it for 28 hours and bored to death with this single player MMO game. I deleted it and destroyed my origin account. I never buy new games from Bioware. They are dead. I miss the times that I spend in DA:O and DA 2. And for mu opinion Skrym is better that this piece of .......

    I do not recommend it for old RPG gamers. If you dream of epic continue Dragon Age story I think you all will be disappointed. It is not Dragon Age anymore. Goodbye my favorite game. The EA ruined all my favorite games: Dragon Age and Mass Effect.

    Thank you for reading.    … Expand

    A truly awful game.
    Modern, pollitcally correct, soulless rubbish.

    They've abused PC gamers, who made the franchise successful, and sold them out to make a buck more from consolers.

    Origins was great, DA2 was fun for what it was. It was short, linear, and without any of the complexity of Origins, but ignoring that it was still passable. Inquisition is horse manure.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really, really wanted to love this game. I pre-ordered, waited with bated breath for it to be finally playable, and my word, what a let down. I'll skip over the mechanics, I can live with that (clearly not a PC game made for PC players, but anyway). What I found most unforgivable was the boring, boring story. I can't stress how boring the storyline was. I'd go days without playing as there was nothing that hooked me and made me want to spend hours carefully following the plot. If I can cope with driving the bloody Mako around uncharted worlds and still love Mass Effect, why couldn't they have put a bit more into making this game actually enjoyable? This game has no redeeming features. The characters are unmemorable (apart from maybe The Tevinter bloke, who's name I've forgotten), unsympathetic (Iron Bull, a fan favourite? Really??), and downright annoying (hugely unattractive elf bird who was the lesbian romance choice - cheers for that). Coryphyface was so underwhelming as a boss, I defeated him in about two minutes flat, so overpowered was my character by the time I faced him. And that's due to all the grind I put in, as I always play side quests first in any RPG. I didn't realise there was really no need to find all the shards/mosaic pieces (not that you can)/astrariums and I really tried to. I'm never, ever going to pre-order a game from Bioware again, I'm going to wait to see what the actual fans say (you know, the honest people who play the game, and not one negative score from the critics?? PC Gamer has lost all credibility in my opinion) in their reviews, then probably not buy it, because let's face it, Bioware is dead. Long live Obsidian.

    By the way, I've never bothered to review a game before, this is my first. I'm so gutted I had to do it. After hearing about what's happening with ME4, I very much mourn Bioware, I genuinely loved their previous games...    … Expand

    Zoom on tactical map is a **** joke, and even worse if you are in the building the ceiling is the limit on how much you can zoom out. In narrow corridors etc. you dont see **** Even when you finally find the angle of camera that gives you some sort of "vision" when you switch character to issue new commands camera **** moves in theatrical slow motion and you spend another 10 seconds rotating that **** around.

    To make it even more retarded controls actions switch around when you enter tactical mode ( and you cant rebind that ) so attack goes from left mouse button to right mouse button etc. And you dont have separate bindings for tactical and action modes.

    Also you have to hold the mouse button to attack. Yeah. This is not an action game, this isnt Skyrim. Its a slow grindy combat party rpg. So you select your mage, select a target and proceed to hold LMB for the next 30 sec. Yeah, that is the "action" part of this game. Dont expect Witcher or TES combat.

The battle system is not very fluid, and to even loot things wastes time and movement that isn't needed. Cutscenes play capped at 30 FPS, despite the fact my computer can easily play it in 60 FPS or more.

    The story does not feel like it's Dragon Age. My hard work and dedication in the previous games can all come down to a story I can generate in a matter of seconds, making it feel like you wasted time. (Opt instead once you beat the game to allow you to make the story maybe?)

    The game is FULL of glitches. Absolutely full of glitches. Characters I found to be not nearly as compelling and interesting as previous Dragon Age titles.

    The story feels INCONSISTENT with previous tiles! These issues we see seem completely made up just for this game.

    This game would've better been released as an Open World, No Pressure on Story Guys Take Your Time. There is NO urgency because there are these random things you have to do that are not really interesting or important to saving the world!

    This feels like an attempted MMO that fell through a hole in the ground and got made into DA I instead! We have no real direction of story, instead you just do your own thing and make the entire world wait.

    Console gamers do not experience the FPS problems because FPS was capped for worst computers. This CAP needs to be lifted! Having a nicer computer does not give rights to be punished!

    I am very heartbroken about this title. I wasted over three hours just fighting with glitches alone upon release, and still fight with glitches when I try to play it today.    … Expand

    i am huge fan of old DA series but this game is a lame bad joke. First of all the game combat: look like a korean hack and slash mmo for dummies. the keybord/mouse is impossible to use and with gamepad is slow and messy. The side quests are simply boring and stupid. When you realize (quickly indeed) that the fragments quests as well as astrarium is totally useless you simply ignore it.i am huge fan of old DA series but this game is a lame bad joke.

The game itself look like an expression of a bad bangalore software house: a nanic mace with 9 magic or 9 will? Are you f***ing stupid? the armor of dead for dwarf appear at 15-17 lvl and you play with formal suit that have more hp than a full paladin armor? Who develop this game dont have the idea how the games works (not rpgs but whole games). Open world? hahaha a stupid standard pattern that you follow and if you try to find a alternative patthern well you simply die (yep lol die!) such in the quest of pool of sorrow. The AI is simply ankward, not only companions but for enemy npc also. Underlevelled i kill giant simply i stay under a small door, the giant cant go away and cant hit me ... well done bioware! The whole game is about 30 hours of main quest and the rest look like a lame korean mmo, grind create and grind again.
    This game is classical example how the mindless greedy managers and management world work: give the contract to a incompetent indian/korean/china software company for maximize the profit then bribe the main game site for a good score. That's in new world profit baby! What a Sh***!    … Expand

    Why? Why Bioware does not like his fans? Why do not they make the continuation of the great RPG but did grind simulator for those who first played in an RPG?

    That is the number I have to denote this game. I played DAO, DA2, MASS EFFECT 123... They all had me hooked from beginning to end. I never liked Skyrim but I never reviewed it either as that is really up to taste. DAI is not playable in this state on the PC. It is not friendly and requires a gamepad. This a poorly optimized port that lacks...... an ending. I am not giving it a 0    0.

I am not giving it a 0 because I hate it or am angry, I am giving it a 0 as it is not a finished product and when I don't finish my duties at work I either stay late to finish them or .... well there is no other option.

    Whoever made this game is over payed and under qualified. The graphics are not as good as some would have you believe and the story is non existent. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AS IT IS NOT FINISHED!
    The pc version is full of bugs and a disastrous mouse + keyboard layout. Oh and I should add... it is poorly optimised for PC's. My friend cannot even start his on his i7 3.4ghz + nvidia 2GB + 8BG ram... keeps crashing to the desktop.

    Get witcher 2 or 3 if you haven't better yet get DAO and head over to Nexus and mod your game.    … Expand

    Such a big disappointment...

    DA:I is a single player MMO and it is the opposite of the awesome other BioWare games (Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2,..). The characters are ugly and boring. The presentation is a bad joke. The story is nothing special and boring. The (side)quests are the worst I've ever saw. The combat system is hack and slay. The world is empty and boring. The    Such a big disappointment...

    The game is just a waste of time and a shame for BioWare. BioWare was before DA:I my favorite developer which developed my favorite games. And then they made DA:I. Unbelievable. What the hell happened to BioWare....

    I really hope BioWare will not make an open world game again. No one wants an open world in a BioWare game. They should concentrate on their strengths: story, characters, presentation, quests, atmosphere,...    … Expand

    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.
