    I almost did not buy the game, because of all the negativity out there....
    But I have to say, I really like the game, it is so great and completly underrated!
    And I found it to be in many ways (not in all) bether than Origins.

    What makes this game great are companions, game play, variety of weapons, classes, talents. Story is good but feel like too much pushed to be center of universe. It is bit worse than DA:O, it is faster and lost feel of turn-based strategy. Don't know why but i love this game anyway.

    Great character development system, (although a bit confusing).
    Probably the best looking armors, another solid 11 out if 10.
    Great written characters. Companions, enemies that feel absolutely real and engaging.
    Beautiful and huge world with uniquely designed areas (It's a shame they're not immediately connected to each other, that would make the game shine)
    Con: invasive HUD (contextual isn't enough) - doesn't give choice to fully customize and immerse yourself in the beautiful world the developers created.

DAI, my second favourite game after Fable3, It's beautiful, but needs a great computer for running, or improve your own one like I did, its story is well writting and each caracter have its own personality. Takes long hours to finish one game completely, around 170 hours.

    You can explore big (very big) locations, interact with many caracters and discover the history of Ferelden and ''Orleais''.

    Also we can ride a horse (or a lizard).    … Expand

I saw the user reviews and was appalled at some of the things said of this game. The dialogue and the characters are diverse and appropriate for a game that deals with so many things like racism and addiction. Bioware should be applauded for that. Now, every character is not a super model, but should they be? No, you should be attracted to Solace for his intelligence and thoughtfulness, to Sera for her childishness and yet still amazing competence and simple wisdom. I could go on, but every character was unique and, if they had a pretty face or not, had a real personality. Further, They each interacted with the world and each other and the inquisitor in interesting ways.

    Now, I agree that the controls could be better, and the abilities were limited, but I mitigated that by learning to deal with it (Planescape: Torment, anyone?) which has it's own charm, anyway, and then by using lots of passive abilities. I looked for interesting combos and blah blah it's not important. Not a perfect game, particularly in the system aspects, and the GIGANTIC amount of collectibles, but its a direction I want to see them refine and improve and continue to GET RIGHT.

    And can I say, They surprised me with some things, and I was even mistrusting of mages because that's what Dragon Age teaches you to do with mage companions, and this is a feat I truly appreciate in well written video games.    … Expand

In DA Inquisition, you just need to pick and choose what side quest you want to do (you don't have to do them all - it can become tedious after a while). The relationships are very good, but not as in depth as in DA Origin and some romance are better than others. As a female player, it's the first time I enjoyed playing as a male warrior (I made him an alpha-male Templar, addicted to lyrium!).

    Solid and interesting RPG game with an entertaining story, interesting characters, good gameplay, and very nice graphics and animations.
    There are minor technical flaws.
    Also, the simplification of the combat system with only 4 ability cells seemed to me an unjustified solution.
    But overall it's a solid good game.

The story & cast of characters is the real strong points in Inquisition, while Varric was the stand out character from DA2 he seems the most bland here, they did a great job with the list of companions this time around. While the game allows you to continue playing after the main story line is completed i feel far more compelled to start over with a new party set up then run around the various maps completing mundane side quests and collecting shards. The shards are blatant and unnecessary filler, the game would genuinely be better off without this lazy, generic level design. Bioware usually set the standard, its a real shame to see them follow it here.IF shard collection was to be removed tomorrow then i cant imagine a single complaint would be made or a single tear would be shed. Now that i'm finished the main story i want to start over and use a different party set-up rather than continue and search for mosaic pieces and shards. The voice acting is top notch, the music and sound effects all do deliver as well. Dragon fights feel epic but can be disorienting if you are controlling a melee character, its very easy to lose yourself under a wing or the dragons head. The environments are visually incredible and the character creator is very detailed. If i could offer one criticism is the meagre amount of hair choice's but otherwise its fantastic. Its hard to say much more without risking spoilers but overall this is a great RPG that has a few less that desirable traits (camera controls for one) that stop it from knocking Origins of its perch from best in the series. It has a few bugs, nothing game breaking that i discovered but these should be remedied in upcoming patches. Overall i recommend it, you will find yourself frustrated at times but it has so much going for it you ill overlook these imperfections.… Expand

    I'm loving the game, but I'm starting with the bad because it's easier to complain than it is to compliment:

    Combat mechanics have never been Bioware's strong point, and I've continued enjoying their games in spite of that since Baldur's Gate, but it's worse than usual here. Thankfully, after a few hours, I became comfortable enough with the controls that it never became a deal-breaker.

    The controls are bad. The left-click to swing mechanic is a bizarre design decision that impacts your ability to control your character throughout the rest of the game. Being limited to eight abilities sucks; after a certain point, advancing my character starts to feel like wasted effort, because I can't actually use any of my new abilities without giving up the ones I've already earned. Animation-locks on attacks and abilities are painfully long which, combined with the character turning and accelerating slowly, makes me feel like I'm never truly in control of my character.

    The tactical camera is nearly useless. I use it to make my party avoid dragons' fireballs, and that's it; any more interaction than that is just begging for frustration.

    One of the pre-release reviews I read said Bioware had "hilariously overcorrected" for the small and reused areas in Dragon Age 2. This is pinpoint-accurate. Dragon Age 2 had a small footprint, but the quest content in that footprint was actually very well-focused and well-executed. DAI made their areas massive, and then tried to stuff the same area:content ratio into that space. They bit off way more than they could chew. The vast majority of things to do in DAI are MMO-style throwaway fetch/gather quests. It's like they used SWTOR as a model for sidequest building instead of a cautionary tale. I had a huge disappointment last night with a massive quest that had me running back and forth across an entire (huge) desert for hours, and I found nothing but an empty room with a chest of loot as my payoff.

    Attention Bioware: quality over quantity next time. The best sidequest I can think of would have been the weakest sidequest in DA2.

    I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make my character walk instead of run. Turns out it's not possible, which is baffling.

    Those are the negative things I have to say. In spite of those complaints, I'm enjoying the game immensely.

    Companion interactions are the best they've ever been. I absolutely love all of the new characters (save one whose entire personality consists of being completely poised at all times and calling me "dear" a lot). Seeing the way characters from DAO and DA2 have developed, and helping them along in that development, is incredibly gratifying. If you enjoy going back to camp, the Normandy, or the Hanged Man to talk to your companions, you'll love it in DAI.

    I like the crafting system a lot. The level of customization in both appearance and stats is surprisingly good. Finding recipes has been a challenge, which is either good or bad depending on the type of player you are.

    The world is gorgeous. The graphical quality itself is solid, but the attention to detail is excellent. I have lots of peeves with the little details in every game I play, but none of them are present here. Except the hair. The hair sucks. The areas themselves are big and beautiful. Each companion having distinct styles for their various sets of armor was a great touch.

    In spite of the MMO-style sidequests, the main storyline is fantastic, and all the companion quests have been good. There are big, tough choices, several of which I can't wait to explore the other side(s) of.

    This game is far from perfect, but it easily comes out on top. Some of the problems will hopefully be solved by patches and mods. The biggest problem is the handling of sidequests. If you can suppress your completionist streak long enough to avoid completing every single quest you run across, you'll have fun.

    Good game. Easily worth buying, even if I wish they'd done some things differently.    … Expand

    Now for the positives. This is an excellent game. I felt like I have all the times I have played DAO. There is not only a lot to do but a ton of little nice touches. Even the lesser NPCs have interesting moments. Despite having 144hrs playtime, I was no where near finishing everything.

It is filled with those kind of collect 50 stones, skulls or whatever scattered all along the map missions just to say: Hey, you have more than 250 hours of playtime. F that man.

    And the camera... What a mess... Such a bad port... I don't know if it is better for the consoles, but it completely ruins the action and even the map exploration.

However, I wouldn't necessarily use these points to justify a low score - it seems a lot of people are.

    I played this game for its narrative and game play, and by God does it deliver! The story so far is pretty impressive and the choices you do make matter. For example, a small one shall suffice. I was in the Hinterlands after around 5-6 hours playing, and I come across a castle by chance. Inside was a cult of Andraste, who were having issues with demons. I helped the cult out and they pledged to join my Inquisition. I headed back to camp, and they were there. Another example is when I was doing an odd quest in Redcliffe village around 10-16 hours in the game and I came across a woman who needed help with potions. I told her she should join my group, and again when I arrived back a few hours later, she was at my camp helping refugees. These two examples are small, but I've used them so people can actually ignore what some jumped up techno-warriors are complaining about when they feel disappointed on release that it's buggy after only playing maybe 5-6 hours; hell, neatly every game I've played had some sort of problem on release ( that's excluding mmos)

    Once you get passed the techno-issues, the game itself is actually great.    … Expand

    I hate EA, I vowed never to buy from them again because of what they do to games; but: People giving this a 0 is appalling, worse yet is the justification. "I didn't like X quest, so I gave it a 0."

    Is it worth a 10? No, but it's damn good.

    Is it worth a 10? No, but it's damn good. Clearly they have not progressed past the incredibly large first area where yes, there is that element of MMO-esque quests; which are entirely optional. The game is huge, freaking huge and there are a *lot* of quests. Most of them are great, too. People are focusing on one aspect of it and demonizing the entire game without a fair chance. And I mean, seriously, wtf, I have seen "0" given out over reviews of reviews. People are freaking reading the reviews, and then giving the game a "0" based on the reviews without playing like a giant "0" star review circle jerk. LOL come on, then they negatively review anyone that gives positivity

    To give it a "0" is ludicrous, but people are throwing it out like candy out of sheer ignorance.

    My Scores:
    Replayability: 7
    Graphics: 8
    Scenery: 8
    Story: 8
    Fun: 9

    It made me giggle like a school girl, laugh and cry. There are emotional moments, and there are great moments. People *cannot* judge this game so quickly down the drain, because they haven't even SCRATCHED the surface of what it truly is, and most likely have not even progressed past the areas enough to see the potential and fun. The very first area, the hinterlands alone, I have 13 hours logged in and I'm not even close to finishing, I left it to do the story quests. It's that large; but it's those quests people are complaining about. You literally do not have to do the MMO quests if you hate them, they are side quests FFS.

    There are bugs, and there are glitches. But holy crap, the game came out like yesterday. And if you are complaining about DRM, you're a pirate and need to GTFO with that weak sauce, this one won't be cracked soon, sorry and get over it

    Negatives:
    UI is sketchy for PC and needs work
    having to hold mouse button to attack takes getting used to
    Bugs, ofc    … Expand

    Much better than no.2, this Dragon Age is a little off from being an RPG masterpiece. The reasons ? Bad camera angles, inability to bind mouse buttons, not good enough team management and most of all... the awful searching and looting system !!! But even with these issues, I enjoyed playing it !

    My first review was really negative, that was 2 years ago. Recently I gave it another try and enjoyed it. Been playing 70 hours so far and will enjoy as many side quests, fights and views as possible before I finish the main quest.

    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.
