    Besides some grinding, this is an RPG that can get people into RPGs. It solidified the genre for me personally, allowing me to move to other RPGs with confidence.

Surrounded with great characters and great dialogue, I felt like I was in a movie.

    Surely a great game, yet not so free from technical mistakes. Especially on PS4 random crashes can happen, even after years after its release

    Said this, the GDR component took a step forward compared to the previous game, but cannot be compared at all with those of the very first Dragon Age. Also the technical aspects during fights are mostly not sophisticated: at low levels of difficulty it is not perceived while it will be a major problem when playing at the highest difficulties due to the impossibility to give detailed instruction to the party.
    However the game has a very good plot, good interactions between members of the party and dialogues are surely good.
    Also the mechanic for crafting is very good and clear, giving the possibility to better personalize your party members equipment to better suit your playing style. Same thing can be applied to the ability three    … Expand

    A beautiful and epic RPG that will hook you for months. It does have a lot of padding that just shouldn't be there at all, but still, it's one impressive journey.

    Oh,god,this was a long journey. Very addictive game,i finished campaign but i wanted to do lots of side stuff,even though i usually don't do that. Main quests are good, the game is very very long,but it is not boring, missions have some variety, and the world is beautiful.

    The story since Dragon Age Origins is just superb, the universe is researched, detailed, the construction of the characters, the interactivity with, romances, the influence of our choices on their lives and ours, wow

    My only problem now is that since playing the 2 Bioware trilogies, I find most of the other games a little more bland in terms of writing depth, immersion, everything seems more rigid, I can't wait any longer for the next opus !    … Expand

    The replay value of this game is incredible. I can’t remember the last time I finished a game and immediately created a new character and started over after spending ~100 hours in my first play through. I’ve read many of the really negative comments and they all have one thing in common: they haven’t played much of the game. I’ll admit that DAI starts off a little slow.

I’ve read many of the really negative comments and they all have one thing in common: they haven’t played much of the game. I’ll admit that DAI starts off a little slow. But as the story progresses and we get to know the characters a little better, it becomes one of the best action RPGs I’ve ever played. Your choices REALLY matter. Few games have made me care about the characters the way that this game does. Everything about Inquisition is great. The variety of enemies, different levels, combat, & customization are everything I want out of a fantasy action RPG. If you’re looking for a good console game, Dragon Age Inquisition holds up as one of the best — and this is in 2021.… Expand

    Very huge game. With some many choices, so many options you can easily be lost in the plot and go only on your own trail. The combat is pretty good and has depth. Some puzzles were a pleasant surprise.

    embora o coração do jogo seja a historia, os personagens e a mitologia da serie teve significativas melhoras no combate e no número de inimigos na tela, embora tenha vários bugs irritantes até hoje a experiência é muito melhor com as dlcs que adicionam itens no jogo e historias boas no nivel da campanha

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My first game by Bioware, bought this on PS4 as a Christmas present for my brother but ended up playing and loving it myself. The game introduced me to the Dragon Age series and eventually Mass Effect trilogy and I loved every minute of it.

    Positive:
    • Graphics - not realistic but perfect for a fantasy game, colours are vibrant, colours well used in different places. Takes you to the perfect fantasy world. UI and colours are simply marvellous, landscape and design was breathtaking especially in the Trespasser DLC.
    • Meaningful choices - Dragon Age keep allows players to transfer or create their own story with or without playing through previous games, your choices then will affect who appears or the history of characters and the world. However, Hawke will always appear as default Hawke, though you get the option to change them.
    • Customization - sliders and colour wheels are always an A+ in my book, however, there's limited and ugly hairstyles. Eyes always looks about 5mm inside their skulls with their thick and really defined underlids.
    • Romance - Great number and options (specifically for female elf), multiple pathways, affects the story to a degree, satisfying.
    • Companions - Diverse from race to colour to ideologies, they are their own characters and it's obvious that the developers were not bias towards any particular group/views.
    • Great replay-ability

    Negative:
    • Slow at the start
    • Some characters have degenerated in terms of appearance such as Sera and Queen Anora
    • Combat mechanics is not revolutionary (except bard in multiplayer), it stuck to its roots of holding M1 or R2 and press the occasional trigger buttons once cool-down has finished.

    Final Verdict:
    Enjoyable for players that loves the fantasy genre and strategy games, otherwise players will find it over the top or too difficult unless they lower the difficulty settings.
    • Definitely Play only if you're interested
    • Game sometimes pokes fun of itself so play with an open mind
    • Linear story so don't expect to become the villain or the inquisition to be strong or alive at the end    … Expand

    Third part of a cool series! Inquisition was a joy to play even later in 2020 when I got to it. My choices effected the storyline there were many things to discover and learn. It had diversity and representation abound including poc and trans npcs. It's a great game for the story and the personality of the characters. Gameplay wise- it's not as great. Finding roads to trek up are sometimes hard and the game will not just let me climb up rocks. It's a micromanagers dream though with all the crafting and inventory management work that you can do.

    Takeaways
    Pros: real RPG where your choices affect the game, great for micromanaging looters like me who want to pocket everything, your character can be in a relationship. LGBTQ+ representation
    Cons: appearing very open world but having limitations on gameplay (like not being able to access some areas/climb rocks).    … Expand

    It’s really amazing and a huge step up from Dragon Age 2’s failure, I’ve enjoyed it a lot the mechanics feel better and it’s a lot more challenging. I love the way how they changed the progressive system that makes me sink so many hours in.

    The story itself is really nice. I miss the Dragon age: Origins where you had different start for each character but that is fine. Companions are again their own interesting characters, each with different personality and agenda. Combat is a bit lacking, I don't mind hack and slash/action RPGs but this comming from Bioware was a weird take esp. after so many games where stopping time was essential, so here is almost no reason to use tactical map even on nightmare difficulty.
    Shard hunting was/is/will be a boring choice. They could have made something different with it, but instead you are stuck with some doors that give you neglectable bonuses.

    I must say the game itself is somewhere between 7.5-8 for me. But what makes it even better are the DLCs. Yes, I am not a big fan of DLC content but this one is a must. I believe if the Trespasser DLC was in game since launch it would make one of the best story games out there. I have to call it 9 with DLCs.

    Oh.. and did I talked about how you can export saves from previous games? And if you didn't play them you can customize almost everything that happened in the prior games. Oh boy and those thing have an impact (some are minor tho).    … Expand
