    Amazing game!!!!!! One of the best stories I’ve ever seen in a game! The characters are deep and interesting, the world-building is amazing! And how your choices shape the world is incredible!!

    Inquisition is a huge disappointment coming from the first two games. The roster of companions is weaker overall and because the maps are way too big, interacting with them is a much smaller proportion of your playtime.

They aren't bad, there are some good ones and they're still well done overall, but they're also the high point of the game and if they're the high point its not the best look. The game is extremely grindy, even going so far as to pad time with real-time side quests, many of which are the conclusions to franchise-running plot lines and character arcs. Combat is bland and forgettable, the main villain as well, and the primary plot line has its moments but mainly just drags. The DLC, which goes back to a less open world, more directed level structure, is the complete opposite and contains some of my favorite franchise moments. Overall its a mediocre RPG with some gems, dragged down by an open world and padding for time.… Expand

    Sera is a great character. love her. everyone else kinda sucks. the game LOOKS bland. it just looks like any typical medieval fantasy thing, with no distinct aesthetic quality of its own (it looks like Witcher, Skyrim, and Fable blended together). the music has no idea what it's doing. sometimes epic string music will swell and come to a crescendo...in the middle of a conversation, when nothing exciting is going on. NPCs spend most of the time bugged out. my inventory is CONSTANTLY full, and you don't have anywhere to store things for the first 30 hrs or so of gameplay, so you end uo having to just throw away everything you find if you want to loot new stuff (yes i know you can sell stuff, but then you have to travel to a town, find a vendor, sell everything, then make your way back, and that effort just isn't worth it). combat is still not BioWare's strong suit.

    that said...the game isn't all bad. i don't have any strong praise for it tho. the story is fine. the gameplay, overall, is fine. it's whatever. i just don't get the hype.    … Expand

    janky controls, jankiest story heated the characters. I spoiled the story for my self and checked the ending of the game and dlc results and all hard work all go to stupid characters and everything is meaningless. If the gameplay it self were fun I would skip the story and play but no redeeming quality. Failed Skyrim.

    After all this time, I have just given this game a go.

    It has no charm.
    It has poor graphics (much worse than Origins which is an older game).
    It has poor controls.
    It has a stupid story.
    It is VERY boring.

    Even after paying only $5 for it, I want my money back.

    As much as I loved the story of the game and how it handled the main villain, the truth remains that the gameplay for this (apparently Game of the Year) was absolute trash, worse than most MMOs out there, where customization matters for nothing, abilities feel like they have no weight or impact to them regardless of how well you combine them, characters are worse than fanfiction ones, andAs much as I loved the story of the game and how it handled the main villain, the truth remains that the gameplay for this (apparently Game of the Year) was absolute trash, worse than most MMOs out there, where customization matters for nothing, abilities feel like they have no weight or impact to them regardless of how well you combine them, characters are worse than fanfiction ones, and the bugs and glitches, jesus christ there are just so many of them.
    Queue repetitiveness, immersion breaking cutscenes and animations, cliffhanger ending that requires a dlc (that isn't available on the PS3 version BY THE WAY) to finish and the cowardice of the developers to not include the Hero of Ferelden in the story despite letting you create Hawke as a character and having him be part of a third of the main story, I just can't give this game any more than that score.

    With this said, it's a personal gem of mine, and I think it has one of the best, if not best villains, plot twists and lore-building that I've ever seen in any video game to date.    … Expand

    Slow start (the first open region is the worst), then it really picks up and then kinda worsens at the end again. Cool RPG mechanics, graphics show its age, but the gameplay and combat are still fun. Massive FPS drops during dragon fights and few crashes, which shouldn't really happen 7 years after release.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition is an excellent threequel that unites the disparate gameplay philosophies of it's two predecessors and FINALLY establishes the core identity of the Dragon Age franchise. Unfortunately, that being said, the game still has issues, many of which are glaringly obvious flaws that hinder the experience and prevent it from being truly great. While I can't deny that DragonDragon Age: Inquisition is an excellent threequel that unites the disparate gameplay philosophies of it's two predecessors and FINALLY establishes the core identity of the Dragon Age franchise. Unfortunately, that being said, the game still has issues, many of which are glaringly obvious flaws that hinder the experience and prevent it from being truly great. While I can't deny that Dragon Age: Inquisition is a massive RPG with a generous wealth of content , I can say that it is an experience defined by design choices that feel awkward and counterintuitive.

    When it comes to story, dialogue and quest design, Inquisition is the definition of a mixed bag. You assume the role of the self-insert hero, The Inquisitor, who can save the world because of their unique ability to close Fade rifts and stop Demon-geddon. To truly do this, you must assemble the Inquisition - a fantasy taskforce of badasses whose job is to broker peace and unite nations while staving off the oncoming demonic invasion.

    While the overall premise and narrative setup may hint at the 'most epic chapter in the Dragon Age anthology', in reality Inquisition's story and dialogue feel laboured, plodding and dull. It takes a while to get things moving, but even during Inquisition's more 'exciting' moments, the execution of these moments feels underwhelming and uninteresting.

    As for companion characters and their personalities and dialogue, they too suffer from the same underwhelming quality of writing. Even the side-quests you take part in to attain these new companions feels uneventful and oftentimes uninspired. I know it's wrong of me to criticise the creative talent responsible for providing me with sources of entertainment, but these are the same people who produced the Mass Effect trilogy, and while that could be boring at times, it still had plenty of interesting characters and story moments.

    On the combat front, Inquisition wonderfully marries the meditative pace of Dragon Age: Origins with the frenetic action of Dragon Age II, but with less than perfect results. For me, I found Inquisition's combat to be plodding and frustrating when compared with other 'smaller' more action oriented games that had better, more satisfying combat. To perform basic attacks, you simply hold down the attack button. While I have no issue with this per se, I do have an issue with enemies not reacting to getting hit by attacks. This results in battles looking like clumsy, awkward encounters with everyone swinging their weapons around with scripted animations. On top of this, there are no options to block, parry, dodge or sprint which further compounds my frustration and dislike with Inquisition's combat.

    With it's collection of sizably large open world-like maps, exploration in Inquisition should feel exciting, but in actuality it's not. While your characters can jump, they can't ledge grab and the world's design feels dated. Furthermore, your 'trusty' mini-map in the bottom corner of your screen in next to useless because it is mostly transparent and only highlights enemies and points you in the direction of quest objectives, acting more like a compass than a mini-map. What I really don't like about the mini-map is that it provides no helpful information on the topography of the land or whether you're following a path or what to expect when it comes the orientation of the world. This is by far the worst mini-map I've seen in a videogame and makes me wonder if Bioware got lazy and took shortcuts with its design implementation.

    Another point of criticism is the menus and the inventory system. For one thing, the menus feel convoluted and try to mimic the 'Mass Effect look'. Secondly, on the character screen, the font colour and type is all wrong, and the text boxes are awkwardly implemented (plus all the RPG jargon gives me a headache - just give me well explained stats and I'm good to go). When it comes to inventory, Bioware should have allowed players to carry more stuff. With a game as big (an obvious understatement) as Inquisition where players will pick up thousands of items, there needs to be A LOT of inventory space. This is one of my biggest frustrations because I would constantly need to clear out my inventory every 10 minutes.

    In all honesty, I think that Inquisition is a good game that is absolutely buried beneath bad design choices that hinder more than they help. I can see what the game is trying to be - an fantasy adventure of epic proportions - but what holds it back are things that make the experience more boring than it actually is. Maybe one day I will come back to it when I have finished every other game and appreciate it for what it is because I won't be actively thinking to myself that "I could be playing something MUCH BETTER THAN THIS".

    In the end, I think Dragon Age: Inquisition defeats itself with the immense scale of its own size and ambition, further compounded by poor design choices and underwhelming writing.    … Expand

    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

The beginning is the hardest part, but once you level up the game is very doable on its hardest difficulty. I really like the dialogue and story, the maps are all pretty good and the enemies put up a reasonable fight. My biggest con with this game is the combat system, freezing everything to cast yours and the companions skill seems to take away from the flow of battle and makes it less enjoyable to me. It's really cheap right now though, so if your looking for a solid rpg and got some spare time on your hands I suggest giving it a go.… Expand

    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

    For a 2014 GOTY winner, this was quite disappointing. Compared to other winners and candidates this game was not worthy of the title. The story was felt tiresome, the side-missions were a chore and the gameplay was very button mashy. There are much better F2P games such as Neverwinter and Path of Exile that is way better than this.

    the dialogue camera is god awful.

    Dragon Age has the most complex stories and lore. The best part, it links all up since Dragon Age: Origins, every character has their roles and they turned out differently in each choices and consequences. Dragon Age Keep is a brilliant concept! Replayability is quite high as well because different heroes chosen based on race will have different beginnings and back story. The politics are real & I especially enjoy the dialogues even though it is long. Choices are consequential and most times are not shallow clear-cut moral choices.    … Expand

    x Well-written characters and companions
    x Fun, flashy combat
    x Great soundtrack (when it decides to play)
    x Interesting side quests
    x Beautiful environments

    Cons:
    x Relatively bland overarching story
    x Weak main villain
    x Siding with the mages can be frustratingly slow and drawn out
    x Minor but consistent bugs, including but not limited to: camera, combat, AI, dialogue, crafting, fast travel
    x First area (Hinterlands) filled with mindbogglingly boring tasks

    Middle of the road:
    x Some companion questlines feel unsatisfying to complete
    x Camera angles are sometimes awkward
    x Animation bugs in conversations (not consistent)

    Final rating: 8/10
    Dragon Age Inquisition is a great game, filled with deep lore, interesting characters and fun, exhilarating combat, mixed in with great exploration and vast, beautiful environments. It is only held back from being a "masterpiece" by consistent minor bugs during combat, traversal and dialogue, to give a few examples, bland overarching plot and main villain, and inconsistent quality in terms of major story decisions. I will still wholeheartedly recommend the game for DA fans, or RPG fans in general. Just a caveat, the game isn't exactly new player friendly, but there are numerous guides, tutorials and lore collections on the internet to get you set up, so it's not a big issue.    … Expand

    I did not buy this full price. I got it on a heavy discounted sale that worked out at about 10% of the launch price on the PSN store. Wow this looked a very pretty game. The flashy arcade type combat is a step side ways compared to the more tactical combat based DAO.

    Seems way more to explore in this one than the other, but not really lots to interactive with. As in only opening chests,    I did not buy this full price.

    Seems way more to explore in this one than the other, but not really lots to interactive with. As in only opening chests, collecting herbs and making things dead. A couple of copy/paste puzzles, but they are very few and far between. Lots of copy/paste fetch quests. Some areas not much going on with a empty half finished feeling. The size of the maps and the amount of repetitive collect quests just seem like a lazy way to pad out and stretch the game. Yes and more so if compared to the first game.

    In game money is very tight and crafting seems like a grind for resources. Yeah as if I a buying MT's fts EA/Bioware.

    I kind of miss the camp-fire intimacy of DOA. Not enough character interaction between all the gameplay padding. The new characters are mostly likeable. The combat scaling is so WTF fun. Going into some areas led to I was running for my life seconds later. So no hand holding when exploring lol.

    Not really interested in the rivalry between the Templars and the Mages. It just feels like a old tired out recycled plot after DAO. The green stuff in the sky and the mystery around that was interesting, because it was “shiny” new.

    The edition of the war table and I looked at that and was thinking what is the point? Yeah Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition are about great wars, but they primary APRGs not a war game. Bigger is always not better if it is done in a loose sloppy bad grindy way.

    I did enjoy the story in part. I liked the usual Bioware party chat between characters and the fun flashy combat, but not the grindy quests and the obvious padding travelling from A to B. Technically has some issues. Weird graphic glitches with the occasional rare BSOD in my first completed run of 130+ hours.    … Expand

    It looks great and i enjoyed it but you can really start to see the impact of EA here, there is a strong main quest and the characters are compelling but the amazing world they built has little to do in comparison to games like Witcher 3. Lots of fetch quests and combat is over before you can employ most tactics.

    good game, it was my first dragon age game, and my second bioware I have played, I like the cc and all the conversation options that is in it, for me (IMO) a good RPG player game, is where you can make your one story, and choose how you would like the game goes, but still not full sandboxs games.

    So yeah a good game would recommended if you can get it cheep.

    Nice looking game, but it's an SJW's wet dream.
    Imagine children playing it.... (m rated be damned) too much subversive SJWism. It's one thing to have women leaders. It's another to remove all men. The game felt like a grinder profile. We already have a Caitlin Jenner. We don't need it in our games

    Dragon Age: Inquisition, the latest installment in the critically acclaimed Dragon Age series, delivers on most every level and, though it has a couple hiccups along the way, is a must play for any RPG or adventure fan out there.

From judging those who have wronged the people of Thedas, to saving the world from the brink of disaster, to hunting down the most fearsome of dragons, Inquisition delivers on its promise to rejuvenate the Dragon Age series and provide a more open-world based storytelling experience.

    Inquisition is a tremendously vast game, providing more than 100 hours of content sprawling over an impressive eleven areas throughout the countries of Ferelden and Orlais. This is quite the departure from developer Bioware’s usual RPG formula, which most commonly includes 4 major areas in addition to the starting tutorial world (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age: Origins) sometimes including smaller areas for vignette style side-quest exploration (the Mass Effect Series). Additionally, Inquisition is the first console era Bioware game to exceed an average playtime of over 70 hours (Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights being the only other games in Bioware's catalog to do so).

    Adding to the overwhelming amount of game-play that Inquisition has to offer are the visuals and Dragon Age: Inquisition looks stunning on the new generation of consoles (Xbox One & PS4) as well as on PC. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the Xbox 360 and PS3 releases of Inquisition. The amount of texture popping that occurs in the previous generation consoles in near impossible to miss and, while it doesn’t take away from the overall function of the game, presents a very underwhelming feeling to those who choose to play this game on older hardware.

    While Dragon Age: Inquisition certainly doesn’t fail to impress, it does feel streamlined compared to the other titles in the Dragon Age series and while there is an emphasis on exploration, the content within each of the vast areas are very similar to one another and have little relevance to the plot aside from leveling your characters. These things start out as minor issues but, due to the length of Inquisition, the repetitive aspect of many of the side-quests and certainly the crafting system (I can only collect so much elfroot before losing my already fragile grip on reality) can really bog down the player experience, especially on the back-half of the campaign, where the narrative loses some of it's steam where it should be doing the opposite.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition is a wonderfully crafted game that boasts incredible visuals and a narrative that is truly engaging...when you're playing a story mission that is. As much fun as Inquisition can be to play, I can't shake the feeling that it's just a single player MMO (and that is far from a good thing) so while it makes great strides in technical ambition for both Bioware and Western RPG's as a whole and does well with making the player invested in the characters and world that it has crafted, it falls just a little short.

    *Editor's note: the DLC released for Inquisition during the first year of it's release definitely makes the narrative feel more engaging (Trespasser in particular) and while this adds positively to the experience overall, just makes me wish that the core game emphasized on it more.    … Expand

    Alright, this game isn't bad. I actually like creating several Inquisitors and exploring the stories roleplaying their different points of view, it's fun. However, the gameplay isn't, it's kinda boring. The maps are also not that fun to explore and the semi-open world can be a pain in the ass.

    Bioware's first foray into the Frostbite engine was to be a cornerstone for the company. A new direction -- an open-world with bright and fancy graphics and gameplay to coat that delectable Bioware RPG storytelling that is such a rarity in the modern gaming generation. One would expect a lot from such a game. Instead, we got an experience that is a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none.Bioware's first foray into the Frostbite engine was to be a cornerstone for the company. A new direction -- an open-world with bright and fancy graphics and gameplay to coat that delectable Bioware RPG storytelling that is such a rarity in the modern gaming generation. One would expect a lot from such a game. Instead, we got an experience that is a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none.

    Combat seemingly felt the heat of Frostbite, with the ability bar being reduced from all the abilities you can possibly hope to use in the game to a measly eight slots. While this may seem a small change, one can quickly see the consequence: the combat is MUCH faster. Having so little skills to choose from, cooldowns are kept low. This effectively renders the already clunky tactical camera a pointless feature, as you will end up smashing the same buttons over and over again with no real thought put into how to approach a given situation. This doesn't even highlight the fact that the often wide-open terrain that an open-world lends itself to, does little to add tactical flavor that the series is known for.

    The environments are varied and beautiful in their own ways, even by contemporary standards. Yet, while these would be nice to look at, one will quickly discover the lack of any real content within these picturesque landscapes. Meaningful objectives to make the areas feel alive are few and far between, with boring MMO-style fetch quests being all too common.

    And, perhaps the most disappointing of all, the story itself falls short as well. The central plot struggles to make itself feel important in the grand scheme of things. The subplots that surround it are nice on their own, but I couldn't help feel as though the threat that was supposedly lingering underneath the surface was an annoying afterthought rather than the impending doom that it should have been.

    The characters serve to salvage a rather lackluster story. While not necessarily the best cast in a Bioware game, it was one of the most stark reminders for me that I was playing a game by that studio. Characters develop, have emotions, goals, and motives -- often making it known should they disagree with your decisions. While not necessarily as nuanced in interactions as in Dragon Age's previous two entries, it still makes for a pretty good bunch of characters to adventure around Thedas with.

    In the end I must say that, for Bioware, it was a let down. I went in expecting to return to a world that once made me want to stay by virtue of its fascinating story and interesting gameplay. Instead I got a middling story, barren countrysides, and lacking combat all with a nice paint job. It is still a well put together modern fantasy RPG experience, but for a game that was trying to be at the pinnacle of that mountain, Dragon Age: Inquisition leaves much to be desired.    … Expand

    There are other Dragon Age games that I assume are similar (I’ve never played them) but for me this was a unique experience.

    Favorite Character/Unit to use?

    I liked using Solas. I would just sit back as my warriors attacked, I would help protect my warriors and launch projectiles from a distance. Some people may prefer being in the trenches for the fighting but I enjoyed being on outside.

    Would you play it again?

    Any Complaints?

    With this being my first Dragon Age game, the story was a bit hard to follow at times. I actually had to look up what the epilogue was all about because I didn’t understand it.

    Also the lack of options with romantic partners, why not Leliana or especially scout Harding. I could flirt with her (and she certainly liked it) but couldn’t hook up with her? I just found that kind of odd.    … Expand

    Really liked it! Good story, good characters, the gameplay was fun albeit a bit repetitive/harder difficulty just takes longer, beautiful environments.

However, I will say the general consensus is that this game was overrated, and just judging by users score, I'll have to agree. Further proof 2014 was a weak year for gaming in general. Dragon age inquisition has you playing as a mage, a rogue, or warrior, you create a group of 4, with the ability to switch between any of them in a battle, and set out to take down the villain. It's what it sounds like you cast spells as a mage, hack and slash as a warrior, and shoot arrows or stealth beat em up as an rogue. The combat itself is actually pretty simple, satisfying and addictive, with new abilities to unlock as you level up. However I felt the combat felt a little to "spammy" the majority of the time. The story was really straightforward, (bad guy wants to take over world, stop him). At least each story mission had an different theme. I also read the loot was random, but to be honest it was a hit or miss, or to put it more bluntly a big meh for me. Open world is huge, with tons of side content that I can see people putting 100+ hours to complete it. However, the majority of the side quests are kitchen sink fillers, and the majority of them felt unrewarding. As you can see, every pro in this games also has a con, and vice versa. To end, I felt this game is in the same league as fallout 4 in terms of rpg's this gen that I've played, but it's nowhere near the elite level rpgs like the witcher or horizon zero dawn in my opinion. Pros: Satisfying combat, humongous side content. The So-So: straightfoward story, spammy combat The cons: unrewarding side quests.… Expand
