   Brilliant game. The banter between characters that accompany you is pure entertainment. Be sure to recruit Sera as her one-liners are great.Brilliant game.

   The game is astonishing! Game of the year for me, after playing almost all "good" title on PS4 in 2014.
   
   Pluses: - beautiful graphicThe game is astonishing! Game of the year for me, after playing almost all "good" title on PS4 in 2014.
   
   Pluses:
   - beautiful graphic
   Environment is diversed and each map has its own style, beauty. character models are well made, spell/skill effects are so cool that you want to keep using them just for the flashes ;)
   
   - great character customization
   Equipment has options to add many slots, most of them (if not all) change appearance of the item. Character customization gives broad choice of settings. You can choose mounts, class specialization for your Inquisitor. Even bloody throne on which you judge prisoners can be changed!
   
   - interesting story
   It might not be innovative, but there are so many side quests which are well said and keep you going. Usually I do not even read quest descriptions in games, but here I am fully engaged in the game.
   
   - so many things to do that you feel overwhelmed
   Wherever you go, you have so many things to do...War table has many options of sending troops that unlock even more over time. Each area that can be visited with your team has many side quests. Normally side quests are waste of time in majority of rpgs, arent they? here they always give you some boost, sometimes unlocking new content. example was chain of sidequests on one map, which I did on one map (took me like 1-2hours) which resulted in Dragon being available for fight.
   
   - gameplay is enjoyable
   This game has an option to play more hack'n'slash with normal view or tactical view for tough fights (dragons, bosses). I haven't got very used to tactical view and I like a lot hacking and slashing foes. What is great is the fact that you have both fighting systems and both seem engaging.
   Fights with normal trash enemies are usually not difficult, however some boss fights or dragon fights can be really challenging and entertaining.
   
   - music gives me goosebumps!
   - The length of the game is impressive
   I so missed times when I was playing RPG games for 50+hours... I am (only) 30hours in this game, but what surprises me is that all the time new stuff comes up that keeps me so entertained in the game!
   I read that this title can be played for 100+hours... I really hope it will last so long because so far it is a great ride!
   
   On a side note, there were few glitches, but those were not disturbing and absolutely did not interfere in my immersion with the game. This game is so deep and big that it would be a miracle to avoid any glitch.
   
   To express how much I got into this game, I will tell you an anecdote about my normal behavior versus what happens recently when I play Dragon Age.
   Normally, my girlfriend has not a big issue while trying to get me away from console so that I come with her to our bedroom.
   A simple "come over baby" is more than enough to motivate me enough for turning off PS4.
   With Dragon Age? Hell, she even had to put on the sexiest set of lingerie to get my attention!
   So ladies, think twice before you get this game for your beloved one, it might turn out not the way you would like! :)
   
   Seriously speaking, best purchase so far this year for my console, feels so full of content and deserves every cent spent.
   I highly recommend this game!… Expand

It's been a long wait, but man has it been worth it. Great battle mechanics, much to do (with purpose) and guess what? It doesn't fee grindy (say what?). This is because Bioware, does what it does well and offers solid STORIES. Not just a good main story, but hundreds of good side stories (so far). Thank you, Bioware!… Expand

It manages toThis is the game that has drawn me back into the Dragon age universe. In every way this game is what this genre has needed. It manages to combine action, good story telling, interesting characters, and a fairly open and very VAST world into a tapestry of fantasy that is hard to forget.
   
   I am not a huge fan of everything of course, the stiflingly simplistic character progression annoys me... As a rogue archer, being totally limited to my bow seems like an unnecessary restriction.
   
   I understand the design decision, but I don't like it.
   
   Thankfully the game doesn't lose any points for this because it makes up for this annoying restriction with FUN combat, that can get a bit repetitive once you unlock all your abilities, but still leaves plenty of room for both micromanaging a fight or playing it more like an action game and let the AI run the show.
   
   The Graphics on the PS4 are stupendous. Obviously PC users will see some better visuals, but I am 100% satisfied by the PS4 performance.
   
   Some other areas that are annoying is the typical bioware tendency to create SO much conversational dialogue that at times it can be tedious when it is all lumped into a single setting.
   
   For example - When are you just returning to camp to follow a quest chain and discover all the NPC's have new dialogue this can either be really great if you are in the mood for some down time, or REALLY annoying if you originally only meant to stop in to craft a new weapon or something similarly brief.
   
   Like most Bioware games, each new area might have a half hour of dialogue waiting for you if you are OCD like me, and don;t like letting new NPC's go without exploring the whole dialogue tree. This can really bog the game down sometimes.
   
   Conversely, this can be a great thing, because Bioware rarely fails when it comes to writing interesting or engaging dialogue trees or characters.
   
   Still, Like all bioware Games the dialogue is a big deal, it's not smart to skip it or rush, or you will miss key parts of the story, or the characters personality and even decisions that could effect the game later.
   
   Overall however these complaints are little more than little nagging annoyances in an otherwise well executed game.
   
   i do agree with some of the criticism of the game, the combat could be better for people who want a more tactical RPG feel. This is way more Twitchy and FPS, and the tactical turn based element on PS4 is lacking.
   
   However, I didn't select this game for it to be a tactical turn based old school RPG. I buy Bioware games because they tell amazing stories with engrossing characters and build settings that are deep and immersive.
   
   say what you want, but Bioware rarely makes a bad game, and even their bad games are typically better than most other companies good ones.
   
   YES, EA has had some negative influence over them... But they still do best what they have always done best.
   
   Tell stories and craft huge engaging worlds.… Expand

   The Dragon age series is (was) still looking for a true identity after two episodes rather different in their mechanics between the slow pacedThe Dragon age series is (was) still looking for a true identity after two episodes rather different in their mechanics between the slow paced Origins and the button smashing 2. How did this episode fare ?
   
   Technically the game is top notch with great graphics that offers impressive light effects and detailed environments, there's also very few glitches which is impressive for a world this big. In the other hand the loading times are a bit long for my taste, specially when you need to go back to your HQ so much.
   
   Concerning the gameplay it's clearly closer to Origins, you can pause time anytime and give your instructions, you don't have the ability to parry or dodge (some classes may unlock those but they come with a cooldown like any other class abilities.). It works well and it's easy to learn, but in the end the fights all look alike (except for the bosses) which is a bit boring after 50 hours and hundreds of fights. The RPG mechanics are very well done and you'll encounter everything you expect in a fantasy RPG (alchemy, forge, runes) you even get to do a bit of management as head of the inquisition and of course Bioware trademark you have to deal with your relationships with the rest of your gang.
   
   About that let's talk about the writing in general the main quest is rather satisfactory and fits very well with the previous games (specially if you enter your choices in the website), it wasn't intense but well written, the same goes for the personal quest of your companions and I think it's important to give so much personality for the PNJ it gives life to the world. But I was very disappointed by the (numerous) side quest you'll encounter in each zone, they're way too simple (in the writing department I mean) and there's clearly no incentive to do them apart for the rewards, like a job in real life, it's not what I want in a videogame. Concerning the length of the game if you want to complete it at 100% you can expect around 80 hours of gameplay which is very good for the genre.
   
   So in conclusion Dragon Age Inquisition is a solid RPG fairly enjoyable and quite generous in its content but the monotonous fighting and poor writing of the side quests is disappointing and can keep you from enjoying every minute of the game. Advisable for all RPG lovers that have already completed The Witcher 3 (if not it should be your priority).… Expand
