    A superb game with a great cast of characters, Dragon Age Inquisition offers a fascinating world to explore with deep lore. The game offers a great deal of content to explore, some of which can be almost overwhelming if you try to do it all, but that's what subsequent play throughs are for!

    The "hack 'n' slash" combat of Dragon Age II has been refined to put more emphasis on using your skills which I like. I still prefer the combat system of Origins were you needed to load attacks into a queue (the same as kotor) which put a great emphasis on chaining your skills together in the correct order, and when you did the results were often very satisfying. Some people consider Origins combat too slow and tedious which is fine, people are entitled to their opinions and honestly they're correct in saying it's slow and tedious, still prefer it though. Inquisitions combat system is a worthwhile compromise between Origins and DA2.

    The story is the most epic in scope in the Dragon Age series so far. You're leading a fight against almost everything in the DA universe. Your enemies include mages, templars, demons, darkspawn, assassins, the carta, dragons, a rebel army, the undead, various monsters, a would-be archdemon, a would-be god, poltical figures, and even grey wardens.
    The story and writing are great, living up to the expectations set by Origins for the most part. The side quests aren't as memorable as the ones in Origins but the main quest and companion quests are on par.
    The amount of side quests in this game is daunting, coupling that with the fact that the quests are not very memorable can make trying to 100% this game a chore but they do move you around the various locales promoting discovery and collecting lore.

    Graphically this game is nothing special. Slightly above average in my opinion.

    Bugs are present on the xbox one version. Frequent audio delays which occur mostly within the first few seconds of loading into an area, frequent texture pop-in, freezing happens occasionally but lasts only a second or two, bugged dialogues which require you to reload to get the dialogues working properly but this only happened to me once.

    A few critiques I have:
    Some of the war table operations take too long. Sometimes I would wait to advance the story so that I could clear out every war table operation on the off chance that the operations have some contextual effect on the main story missions. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has done this and it needlessly inflates playtime. Also it sucks when after completing a long operation you're rewarded with junk.

    When I have a party with a warrior, rouge, and mage, and I go up to an item requiring action from a mage (like activating a veil fire torch) while I'm playing as a warrior it would be nice if the a.i. mage in my party executed that action instead of me having to switch to them to do it. A minor gripe but having to switch characters to perform class specific environment actions needlessly increases game time without adding anything.

    The shared health potion thing sucks. You can only carry a limited amount and because of this the result is frequent backtracking to inquisition camps to resupply your health potions. I understand it makes hard fights harder by having to manage your potion consumption correctly but the ultimate result is having to go back to a camp to resupply afterwards. Again needlessly increasing game time without adding anything.

    Great game overall.    … Expand

    The game is huge, the characters are so well written that they feel real, the crafting is well done and though I'm not a fan of the action, also the fighting system is a thumbup.
    I'd give it a 9 if I didn't see so many crappy 'reviews' giving it a 0 because !homosexuality!

Dragon Age 2 despite its deficiencies at least resembled a Bioware game where it was focused on the story and dialogue that draws you into the story.

    This game fails to draw you in the story. It is filled with meaningless quests of collecting and capturing things. Nothing has purpose, nor does the dialogue. It is very simple and bland, and your companions don't even seem interesting.

    The fighting is bad. It is very hack and slash with very little tactics compared to Origins and DA2. Some of the graphics look nice, but the characters look worse in my opinion. It just looks awful.

    Many things have been copied from the Witcher. The texture of the scenery and people, even the fonts are the same. Also the currency which is usually sovereign, silver, and copper in the previous two games is gone. Now its just "gold".

    This game appears that it doesn't even any of the original designers of the original dragon age. It is a regurgitation of all the successful third person RPGS but utterly fails in originality. Basically they tried to make a copy of Skyrim and Witcher and called in Dragon Age. EA has forever ruined Bioware. I am not even difficult to please, as I still really enjoyed Dragon Age despite its issues.

    Nothing like DAo or DA2 and that's not a good thing. This is not an RPG, its a hack em up game. All that made Dragon Age fun is gone. Now I have to wait for Mass Effects and hope however the designers that ruined Dragon Age Inquisition don't get there hands on it! Very sad to see something that was so much fun ruined because people don't take a hint...If it is not broken, DON"T FIX IT!

There are a ton of invisible walls and obstacles that your required to walk around(Mountains,hills you can't traverse etc) to get from A-B making the maps seem smaller(Don't expect SKYRIM levels of exploration).
    The story is Dull and adds nothing new to the RPG genre.There's a big blast that creates a "Breach" between the world of Thedas and the Veil which opens up a bunch of mini portals called "Rifts" around "Thedas" and lucky for the inhabitants of this land you happened to get caught in the blast that created it and received a mark on your hand that let's you close these "Rifts". Wow! amazing story alert,amazing story alert, who wants to hear an amazing story? XD

    --Negatives

    --This open world is as open as the maps on Fable 3 and feel like a repetitive cut/paste job with Super Mario 3 themes like desert,snow etc. There's not a lot to do or see It feels more like a B game that should have been left on PC.
    --the graphics look like last-gen with a bit more polish. Not as good as next-gen titles that launched around the same time.
    --It's hard to relate to characters that act so pompous. Gone are the interesting Under Dogs from DA:O and in are these new 1%-er protagonists who are more worried about their own petty problems then they are about the end of the world.(I'm revising this review a year after writing it and can't remember any of their names)
    --You'll spend a lot of your time doing annoying one-liner fetch quests to unlock new regions to be able to progress through the very short and uninteresting main quest. I spent 20 hours doing those boring forced side quest and only got 12+hours of main quests.It's the first time an RPG forced me into hours of fetch quests. One play through is all I can do on this. This game is an MMO RPG in disguise being sold as a AAA Single Player game.
    --Terrible Combat, Hold down the RT and spam XYB till you run out of stamina rinse and repeat. I liked the semi-turn based Combat of older Bioware Games, Holding down RT and Spamming X,Y,B, gets boring fast.
    --More Glitches then I could shake a stick at, my game crashed a handful of times especially during certain cut-scenes and I noticed a Frame-Rate drop every time I pressed the run button. There are definitely performance issues with this game but it's still "playable."
    --Repetitive Multi-Player with micro-transactions(Proof that this really is a cheap MMO in diguise).
    --Character progression and overall learning curve is definitely geared towards casual gamers. They either think were too dumb or too lazy to actually level up our own characters to keep pace with the game and to play the Combat portions without some sorta autopilot(There's more hand holding here then in the last one).
    --I could go on forever about the terrible combat.graphics,story,acting etc.

    -Positives

    -Dragon fight's were fun. Nothing like Dragon's Dogma or anything but still fun.
    -soundtrack was okay
    -War Room was a good feature but becomes repetitive and annoying fast.

    --There are a few thing's that this game does get right and a few thing's that it does really well but unfortunately it's not enough when compared to everything else. The story is short but not sweet and it's locked behind hours of useless repetitive fetch quests. I don't know why they thought this was a good idea cause it's not.The combat is you holding down the RT, spamming XYB and that's it(Even Casual gamers should feel embarrassed by this level of hand holding). Although there a variety of maps in the mix but they're not filled with much and are full of invisible walls and obstacles that are there to set you up for a bit of dialogue and forgettable combat encounters.This game is not worth the full price of admission and is another let down from one of my favorite game developers ever.    … Expand

    *The story and romances in this one are really well written. I'm glad they've dropped the underwear in the shower deal, seeing as this game is rated M anyway.

    *There is tons to explore. I whipped through this game on the One and now that I'm replaying it on the 360 I'm doing different story options and exploring some areas more in depth and didn't realize how much I had missed in my first playthrough.

    *I actually like the side quests. I know some of them are just fetch quests, but they make sense. Plus if you return to areas later, the people you did quests for will thank you and change their dialogue and whatnot.

    For the people who are whining and complaining and comparing this game to Skyrim I just don't get it. I mean I like the Elder Scrolls games and all, but there is just hardly any story there. I never give a crap about any of the people in that world. It's a fun dungeon crawler with a bit of story mixed in as filler. And I love it. But, Dragon Age is just much more than that. They have made this game more open world. The areas are huge and there's ton of stuff to do and find. The combat was fun and much improved over Dragon Age 2. There were no enemy waves falling from the sky. It was more reminiscent of Dragon Age Origins. It's a fantastic game and if you stick your nose up to it, it's your loss. This game rocks!    … Expand

    DAI - 8.5 / 10. I have played about 20-25 hours of the game so far - and even though it's not perfect - it is good enough that once I sit down to play it in the evening I don't stop until I absolutely HAVE to go to bed. So at the very least, it's addicting. The story is entertaining enough so far - it's not the most riveting story (so far) but it's certainly not awful like Destiny - alsoDAI - 8.5 / 10.

    The combat can either be played in RPG style where you have an overview of the battlefield and can order your party members around or you can just rush in and attack - I have typically chosen the latter just to keep things moving. I am playing on normal skill level and it's usually pretty easy. However, every once in awhile you end up in a battle where you realize some tactics are necessary and have to go in a little more strategic. Graphics are fine, sound / music is good, characters are pretty fun so far (I'm haven't gotten to much personalized character interactions yet - but the same has a focus on that), controls are easy to adapt to, generally I like most aspects of the game - and with the enormous world the game offers I expect a lot more to come. Yes there are some repetitive trivial missions and filler, but they haven't bothered me too much.
    I haven't gotten far enough into the game to make a definitive critique - but certainly based on what I've done so far it's worth playing, legitimately fun/addicting, and with the currently minimal selection of XB1 games available it wasn't a hard choice to make. Don't pay attention to anyone who gave this game a ZERO - that's just ridiculous. It's not a ten, but I like it.    … Expand

The RPG elements are great and feel more like something closer to Skyrim than anything else. To call this game 'open world' is a little deceiving since the map itself is very massive, but you can only travel in portions of the map at a single time without having to load the next. The areas are still quite huge and can take up to half an hour to trek from one side to the other on foot. The campaign is very very long, in fact, you don't even see the opening title/credits until you are close to 2 hours into the game. The exploration of the land is satisfying but feels more like something out of Fable than anything else, just in the sense that you never go into any large structures that require any paused loading, but more you are spending most of the time in very open outdoor areas with the occasional entering of a small structure to either pick up a mission or buy goods. The graphics is this game is where I have my only real issue. Playing the the Xbox One the graphics don't resemble those of a next gen game, but the massive world does. I've had many times during an in-game cinematic where objects, landscape or people will just suddenly appear or pop into close frame. This isn't a huge drawback because it seems to only happen during cinematic; I haven't run into any delayed draw distances or anything while in live game play. In short, this is a satisfying game of the genre that will have you playing for a long long time and a combat system that can be set up for anyone's play style. The only thing that would get this game a higher rating would be the correction of graphical glitches and just the overall graphics themselves. I understand the shine of the game took a hit on account to make it as massive as it is, but it really does look like something you'd expect from previous generations.

    Quests are all the same thing repeated over and over again, good only for leveling up, which isn't a good thing on it's own: few skills trees, and you can't actually personalize your characters stats.
    Also, you can use only 8 of the abilities you unlocks.
    The combat sections aren't challenging, just long and boring.
    There isn't much strategy: half the enemies in the game warp behind or push through every formation you set.
    Obviously, the A button is used both for jumping and to activate things. Because it takes real developers to avoid such a basic mistake and bioware doesn't have them. This is more annoying than it seems, don't laugh!
    The story is mediocre too, but you are going to notice that only if you limit yourself to the main quest, otherwise, you forget it along the way: there is so much useless stuff outside of it (collectibles, fetch quests and hunt quests that repeat themselves) that you lose the thread.
    There are many bugs, but IIRC the ones that deny you questlines have been fixed.
    The only good thing is graphic, but the game isn't (and couldn't) be pretty enough to be interesting.

    With so little competing titles on XBO it's no wonder this stands out.
    The graphics are probably 'ordinary', but good for DA games.
    The story is really good, characters excellent.
    The world is big and fairly rich in content and diversity.
    I wonder how it will look when there's titles of the same genre and production value on XBO?

Story missions are engaging with plenty of side missions. A few too many collectables for my taste but this doesn't detract from the game. Haven't played multiplayer, not really my thing.

    Bioware rightfully made the best fantasy game only beat by Skyrim. The real draw of this game is Character customization, choices, and discovery.

Inquisition still has the best dialogue system and the most decisions out of modern games. So the only competition in thatBioware rightfully made the best fantasy game only beat by Skyrim. The real draw of this game is Character customization, choices, and discovery. I always love creating a female character and this game doesn't disappoint in that respect unlike Fallout 4 for example. Inquisition still has the best dialogue system and the most decisions out of modern games. So the only competition in that respect is between well, previous Bioware titles and Telltale Games. However, most choices don't have a big enough impact. No matter who you choose, Templars or Mages, you'll still have to defend Haven from the forgettable villain. I understand that part is critical to the story but Bioware has given much more weight to choices in the Mass Effect series
    . But Skyhold really is a big improvement over the Normandy. The world is plenty big and the highlights visually are the houses in the Emerald Graves, the Eleven temple in the end, and the sand dunes of the Western Approach(beat Elder Scrolls to the punch). Due to the leveling and weapon damage system, enemies had to have large health bars to make the former mechanics work. There is no point in getting a better weapon if the Red Templars succumb to one or two hits. This makes encounters long and less fun. Dragons take so long to kill.
    Only at the end does the story get intriguing. This is mostly thanks to Morigan(who I kept thinking was the villain due to the reveal trailer) and the Elvin lore.Since that I was eager to make progress in the game, I skipped most of the cutscenes, dialogue, and books;something I usually don't do.It ended up cutting my playthrough in half(about 50 hours instead of the average 100+)
    In a world where Gods and magic exist, religion stills gets thing wrong. Something I only realized towards the end. Not that they were morally wrong(the chantry is clearly the old christian church and a lot of it draws inspiration from the real world) but that it's not certain who these gods were as Mythal turns out not to be an Elvin god but Morigan's Immortal human mother. And there isn't proof of the maker or the Old Gods existence. The only interesting part of Coryriphius (spelled wrong) was when he mentions that the thrones in the heavens were empty. That mystery definitely will be explained in future games.
    The end seems to point towards a Grey Warden civil war being a plot point for DAV. It really sucks that EA most likely took the real ending and released it as the Trespasser DLC only for current-gen. That will probably stop me from playing it as I played it on the 360 and will likely get a PS4.
    So the near future for Bioware is Andromeda. Something that is taking far too long to make. Is it going through development hell? Almost. Bioware is trying to make a far more ambitious game than Mass Effect 3. But here's the problem. This is in terms of content, not substance. Clearly the scale of this game is whats being built upon. And in my opinion thats a bad thing. Inquisition would have been significantly better in terms of story, pacing, and level design if Bioware didn't try to compete with the sheer size of Skyrim. Either way, I'm almost certain that Andromeda will be a great game:)    … Expand

Combat (I mage'd it) was satisfying. Companions were diverse and interesting. Many of the maps are exceptionally beautiful, and a pleasure to spend time in.

    While I enjoyed almost everything about the game, it is the story that, to me, made this game shine. I really think they outdid themselves with worldbuilding. I'd played DA: Origins, the first of the series, and "The Keep" website went a long way to restoring my memories, both of the choices I'd made and the place I was returning to. There are stories wherever you look - even a loot item can carry a tale as interesting as the mission you find it on. You could rush through the game, or you can pause and appreciate the varied codex entries you accumulate just by walking around. What results is a world that is as fully fleshed as you wish to explore.

    I would usually give any good game a 9/10, because I feel there's always room for improvement, I loved it enough to spread a thick layer of nutella over any grievance I had during gameplay. I don't intend to replay it right away because it is just. so. huge. - but I realized I would have been game for another 100 hours of continued inquisiting after the credits rolled.

    This game is pretty great. It's a nitty gritty RPG for true RPGers. If you're not a fan of the RPG style game, don't even bother. It's massive, it's epic, and it will consume all your free time if you let it. Very fun, Very engaging, gets a little repetitive (as do all rpgs... i mean there's only so many different types of quests you can do: kill this, retrieve that, go here, find that etc...)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have never written a review for DA or on this website so I have no experience with the game. I have an overwhelming amount of experience playing games for over 27 years so I feel qualified to express my opinion of the game. Despite what a lot of folks are saying and despite the storyline being a bit disjunct and choppy, the game is simply outstanding. Character mods, weapon and material development, RPG style and active combat fight mixtures, team management and skill usage, exploration, conversational user input, influentially based team advancement, the multiplayer levels......the list goes on and on. Very well designed, programmed and developed game. I keeping telling myself, "I'm going to end the game a this point...", and then I never do.

I think some people are ready from start to give a negative feedback about a great RPG game which everyone talks about. Which is a kind of attention addiction of being a hater. On Xbox One controls are very easy and smooth. You can easily focus on combat/tactics/environment instead of interface. Although there are some bugs right now on XBOX multiplayer, the developer team seems to be informed about the issues and working hard to update the game on all platforms, which I respect very much.

    In addition, I didn't see much games which you can update/review/modify all your progress and create a new storyline/ world state which DragonAgeKeep.com website is offering in beta currently. This feature is surely innovative and gives old DragonAge fans opportunity to create a customized world state and enjoy game as they like and want it to be.

    One last word about unclear maps etc. This is not a SciFi game which you can have extremely detailed maps that are obtained using Satellite photos. Have you ever see a coastal map drawn by Piri Reis which are believed to be the most detailed maps of the old times... I think map detail is more than enough. On a real RPG game (I'm talking about FRP games which were played using dices and character sheets and without using a computer),on a real RPG you can not even put a landmark on the map and walk that way without getting lost. (Which is the fun part :) ) For me, more realism means more challenge and more challenge means more fun!

    The story is epic, though not without flaws. The character customisation and skill trees are intricate, though the levelling up is not as deep as the original Dragon Age. The art and environments are lush and diverse. The loot is pleasing, the mini-games not without their charm, and the crafting is addictive.

    The first two Dragon Age games were so fantastic that it prompted me to buy an Xbox One and play the latest installment.

Inquisition (which I will refer to as DA:I) felt like an experimental, spin-off title that Bioware are using to explore an open world game in the themeThe first two Dragon Age games were so fantastic that it prompted me to buy an Xbox One and play the latest installment. Simply put, it was a very underwhelming experience that wasn't nearly as good as the previous two games in the series. Inquisition (which I will refer to as DA:I) felt like an experimental, spin-off title that Bioware are using to explore an open world game in the theme of DA/Mass Effect (ME). And fun fact: The base of DA:I was an MMO Bioware were working on before they even started on DA 2!

    The main character, who goes by the *catchy* title of 'Inquisitor' is literally a nobody who I just could not feel connected to. You're meant to make up their history as you go along, but this whole concept just left me feeling like I was playing as a blank piece of paper with a pretty face. Your companions are, for the most part, uninteresting with crummy companion quests and uninteresting amounts of dialogue about things they did in the past. There are exceptions, such as Iron Bull, Varric (who is a DA 2 character anyway), Cassandra and (just barely) Solus. Those four are the only ones who will actually make you smile or have any sort of feelings towards. The rest are either people who seem like they're just with you because being part of the Inquisition is a trend or they're there as hired goons. The character Cole has a very interesting identity for a character, but not much touches upon it and makes him feel like wasted potential. You also have 3 non-playable companions known as advisors who consist of a DA: Oirigns character who is now a weird, crazy lady, a character from DA 2 who is actually interesting and a new one who is just plain and boring. I would like to elaborate but I'm only given a 5000 character limit here.

    The story is short. Very short. And uninteresting. And non-threatening. The villain is as generic as you can get and the main quests either have not much to do with the main threat or are over before they can get interesting. I can recall only 2 main quests that I feel were pulled off well, but the other 8 (yes, 8) were forgettable and uninspired. Most of your time, about 90% of it, will be spent doing side-quests. And if you've played The Witcher 3 (TW3), then you will be gravely disappointed in what they can offer you. TW3 shows us that you can have large worlds full of diverse, interesting and expansive side-quests that involve their own stories and aren't over in a matter of minutes. DA: I has you either closing fade rifts (basically beat 5 monsters twice and then press A), collecting shards or herbs, finding spots on the map to press A at. That's LITERALLY it. Skyrim was more fascinating than that, but that's another review for another day. If that's what you enjoy doing then you will probably love this game; but if you've been shown better, like TW3, then you will turn the game off after an hour and start a new file on TW3.

    The gameplay is pretty neat. Combat is very smooth and movement feels well paced in the environments you have to explore in. Jumping around in a Bioware game felt amazing and I have no idea why it made me smile so much. There is a tactics system you can use for harder difficulties, but I never touched upon it because it was just a chore in my eyes. Casual mode with your basic attacks is a challenge enough, and is quite fun, to be honest. There's plenty of customisation to play about with, but it can get a bit much what with all the characters you can have to customise and all the different ways you can do it. It's very non-linear and allows the player to be creative, but feels unnecessary and encumbering. I doubt many people play Bioware games for the combat and I think it's high time Bioware reallised it.

    Maps and environments are incredibly well made. The world, its lore and scenery are the high point of this title and can look breathtaking at times. Character costumes are wonderful, facial expressions are accurate and realistic, it's hard to fault the game on this aspect.

    Overall, it was an okay experience. I will come back to it one day, but when I do I won't even touch the sidequests and will mainly focus on romances and certain companion quests. In the end it was just very sub par when compared to the other Dragon Age titles and having played The Witcher 3 I will always see that as the better alternative. If you're looking for an awesome RPG to play that is something like DA: I, then I HEAVILY recommend The Witcher 3. I you're curious about it after having tried the other two games in the series then proceed with caution and don't get your hopes up. If you're looking to get into the series, then definitely start with Origins and DA 2. If you see it on sale or want to play something new and have The Witcher 3 already, then maybe give it a shot. You might even like it. There are things to like about it.
    It wasn't a bad game, but was easily my least favourite Bioware title in terms of ME and DA (otherwise Sonic Chronicles would take the spot).    … Expand

    2 out of 5.
    Dragon Age: Inquisition suffers from OK gameplay that has gotten stale, but tolerable.

    Après l'avoir fini (pour la quête principale et quelques machins annexes !) après avoir laissé refroidir... et après une intense introspection, j'édite et descends la note à 6... au lieu de 7. Il est toujours difficile d'évaluer un jeu qu'on a raqué 70 euroballes, surtout quand on y a passé 140h !... mais on sent pourtant qu'un truc cloche : il s'agit de cette impression dissonante quiAprès l'avoir fini (pour la quête principale et quelques machins annexes !) après avoir laissé refroidir... et après une intense introspection, j'édite et descends la note à 6... au lieu de 7. Il est toujours difficile d'évaluer un jeu qu'on a raqué 70 euroballes, surtout quand on y a passé 140h !... mais on sent pourtant qu'un truc cloche : il s'agit de cette impression dissonante qui vous triture la tête... du coup, après davantage de recul et de réflexion, j'ai descendu à 5.

    Pourtant, après l'infâme Dragon Age II étriqué à l'histoire alambiquée (hic) et après un bon petit paquet d'heures sur le DA nouveau, une partie des craintes ont été levées. La continuité avec l'histoire et les persos de DAO et DA2 (via le Dragon Keep) est un plus appréciable même si elle n'a pas le même impact que les Mass Effect et pour cause, puisqu'on incarne un héros différent à chaque épisode. La trame principale un peu courte est néanmoins bien construite et menée avec rigueur. Compagnons et romances, dialogues bien écrits (excellente VF d'ailleurs), caractères... du classique pour Bioware à dire vrai.

    L'accent a été mis sur l'artisanat habilement développé ici, ce qui donne des possiblités de personnalisation admirables. Il a aussi été mis sur le passage au monde ouvert (multi-régions accessible progressivement dont la taille me semble encore bien plus grande que le monde de Skyrim !) un morceau de choix pour le rôliste explorateur, d'autant que c'est clairement magnifique.

    S'il n'y avait eu Far Cry 4 et AC Unity (des mondes ouverts eux aussi) DAI serait la baffe graphique de l'année. Pour son premier jeu sur le Frostbite 3 et le premier jeu tout court puisque les battleprouts ne sont pas des jeux, Bioware a assuré avec un tel moteur. A part les temps de chargement longuets (c'est peu de le dire) c'est vraiment un pur régal graphique et artistique (je me répète mais ça va mieux en le disant).

    Les combats représentent de prime abord un bon compromis entre DAO et DA2. Les potions, grenades et fortifiants (tous en quantité limitée désormais) ont été repensés entièrement et peuvent faire toute la différence. De même, la gestion des barrières pour les mages et le groupe est enfin d'une utilité majeure.

    Hélas, la caméra tactique qui déconne tout le temps à s'accrocher sur les éléments du décor, la limitation à seulement 8 pouvoirs utilisables en raccourcis (pourquoi bordel ?), l'impossibilité d'enchaîner à tout le moins les ordres comme dans les vieux KOTOR, le sort de soin et le sort de résurrection qui merdent en vue tactique (encore elle) et la vitesse exagérée de ces combats (qui implique du coup des barres de vie gigantesques)... tout cela face à DAO et son interface impeccable, tout cela ne tient pas bien la route...

    Ce qui n'empêche pas des combats souvent épiques. L'autre jour, je vois un dragon qui baille aux corneilles... je suis niveau 12, je me dis que ça va être juste mais quoi, juste pour rire, je vais le taper. Je me rappelle bien de ses 108 000 points de vie quand mon équipe fait à peine 750 chacun... J'ai mis 3/4 d'heure à le buter et heureusement qu'il ne crachait que de l'électricité (!). Un grand moment, certes. Mais il reste encore 9 autres dragons à boulotter mon gars (!)... ouééé... mais bien sûr. Après le 4ème, j'ai arrêté, trop c'est trop...

    Hélas c'est le problème de DAI : il est beaucoup trop grand et abuse du remplissage et de la collectionnite chronique. Des failles à refermer, des éclats à ramasser et un paquet de trucs à faire qui vous font passer pour une fedex **** à l'insu de votre plein gré.

    En témoigne la carte qui fait penser à un Assassin's Creed avec toutes ces icônes et qui peut entraîner une réaction de rejet viscérale d'autant que le jeu encourage le fermier... et si ce n'est pas une obligation, dès qu'on s'écarte de la quête principale, on se croirait dans le plus infâme des MMO à cet égard. Cette surabondance appliquée à un tel jeu de rôle finit par lasser (personnellement après 140h je ne peux plus le voir en peinture...). Alors, pour les "Monsieur Propre" du récurage à la coréenne, pourquoi pas mais voir ça chez Bioware, ça choque...

    DAO peut donc dormir sur ses deux oreilles (un seul dragon c'est suffisant...) et si DAI fait oublier le très médiocre DA2, si son monde est encore intéressant (et même bon pour la trame principale) s'il n'est pas mauvais, il n'en est pas bon pour autant... Bioware déconne et gâche son talent !    … Expand

The only reason I can see why is to keep players having to invent/wait for the missions to complete, to get them to come back daily and having to spend more time in the game that should be necessary.

    DA:I does have its glowing moments, I thoroughly enjoyed the more linear parts of the story, parts that gave me an intense thrill and a real sense of everything I do is of importance that I'm used to with BioWare's older catalogue of games. However, those parts of the game are simply to few.

    BioWare does not however, possess the ability to make a open-world game truly interesting, when the majority of the mission within its vast maps are -"I need 10 of these, go get them". Which boils down to a true case of not being able to, or have the time, to utilize its own sandbox, and the result is a collectibles galore of virtually no importance to the story or the game as a whole. The reward for completing these mundane tasks do not come close to the amount of time you invest in them.

    DA: is however, a beautiful game, with great visuals and at times, stunning environments.

    Now that I know better, I would have waited and picked up the game during a sale, not at 50$, and so should you, but be prepared to be disappointed if you thought that this was going to be similar to the earlier style of BioWare games.    … Expand

    Going to keep it short but if you love dragon age you should buy it. Why? Because it has awesome combat and characters with branching choices. Why does it not get a 10? Because its made by EA and they had to add loot boxes and the fact that there are less choices when leveling up your character than Origins.

    I begin this review several years after playing Dragon Age: Inquisition - while my enjoyment of the game has waned over the years, I believe it is fair to say that despite what now feels like a slow start in hindsight, the sheer depth of Inquisition on its own is enough to make it worthy of merit. However, it is also a phenomenally immersive RPG that provided interesting combat, aI begin this review several years after playing Dragon Age: Inquisition - while my enjoyment of the game has waned over the years, I believe it is fair to say that despite what now feels like a slow start in hindsight, the sheer depth of Inquisition on its own is enough to make it worthy of merit. However, it is also a phenomenally immersive RPG that provided interesting combat, a memorable (if at times, somewhat cliché) story, and some undeniably charismatic and unforgettable characters.

    Inquisition is not without some minor shortcomings. Load times are rather lengthy, and the game does hit a few technical speed bumps here and there. Additionally, for reasons I cannot seem to perfectly verbalize, the beginning of the game feels quite slow. And lastly, there is a disheartening streamlining to character customization that seems like a carry-over from Dragon Age II: Unlike in Origins (but much like in DA2), each class only has two choices of weapon styles at most - mages are forced into using only staves. Simultaneously, these concerns feel more like nitpicks than entirely valid, pointed criticisms of the game's faults.

    Inquisition is a game that offers incredible levels of depth in a variety of areas: The character creator is robust, and there are eventually a plethora of options in terms of customizing the appearance of your weapons and armour; the ability to allocate ability points as you so desire can lead to some specificity in terms of your combat performance (though the extent to which these numbers affect your character does not always seem all that substantial, for some reason); and the crafting system allows for a wide variety of appearance options and stat bonuses. Yet the depth of this game is not solely limited to its mechanics.

    The companions in Inquisition represent a strong return to form for Dragon Age as a whole. While Dragon Age II featured memorable and lively companions, Origins' standout characters proved to be a tough act to follow. And while this still may be the case when considering the incredible impact of characters like Alistair, Morrigan, Shale, Sten and others from the first game in the franchise, standout performances and incredible writing prove that Iron Bull, Cullen, Cassandra, Blackwall, Dorian, Cole and Solas (among others) deserve to at least be comparable to the standard set by Origins' companions. Even when considering the characters I didn't like (Sera and Vivienne, in my case), it is not because they were uninteresting or lacked depth and uniqueness.

    While the combat in Inquisition is not necessarily remarkable, it is certainly far beyond adequate. However, the mechanics of combat in this game are not necessarily what draw me into the game - rather, it is the scale of some of the fights within the game. Of special note are the battles with the hulking, awe-inspiring dragons found throughout Thedas - battling these reptilian juggernauts proved to be both challenging and rewarding, and might have been my favourite part of the entire game.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition is a game that lives up to the precedent set by the first game in the series, and more than compensates for the gripes many had with the second. It straddles the line between an open-world adventure-RPG, a Baldur's Gate-styled CRPG and a visual novel to present players with a gritty, immersive romp through an incredibly rich fantasy world. It is mechanically sound, incredibly deep, and completely enthralling. While not perfect, it is undoubtedly an excellent video game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Story 3/3
    This is the game we should have got after DAO. The game throws you into a world that is being broken apart by the fade. There are demons pouring out of the rifts and you have the mark that can close them. You are given the role of leading the Inquisition and putting together a strong enough band of companions and allies to take down the main Antagonist and close the fade before it's too late. I would say that there are some of the best dialogue scenes to date in the series with the royal ball one of the more fun experiences in a game I have had. Trying to gain the trust of noble houses whilst at the same time providing respite from the chaotic nature that is the open maps of the game. Each zone has so much content to explore. Dragons to slay. Loot to find and great puzzles and dialogue for you to follow. Taking different companions will unlock extra dialogue so mixing and matching your team is suggested.
    Gameplay: 2.5/3
    The best in the series. There are great combos that you can do with your team, and synergy is a must when playing. The melee combat is fun and the warrior talent trees have some of the more quirky gameplay mechanics that I would recommend a playthrough with. Spell caster classes like the knight enchanter for me is where I had the most fun. Who wouldn't wanna play a spell caster with he ability to summon a magic sword that can deal devastating amounts of damage whilst still casting frost nova's and flame bombs. The progression trees seem a little imbalanced on some classes. For instance the Necromancer just doesn't do as much damage as some of the other alternatives. Although there are some cool concepts, certain trees needed more refinement. All in all the gameplay experience was fantastic.
    Visual/Art Design: 1.5/2
    On the Xbone I did experience some framerate drops and glitches on a lot of occasions however This game does present beautifully. The colour palate, the grass and water, the burning buildings, the enemy designs and the weapons look fantastic. The world you're put into and the cut scenes are all done really well.
    Sound/Music 2/2
    The companion voice acting is near perfect. There are so many interesting accents, characters and dialogue in this game that it is a gameplay loop on its own. The music is epic and the orchestral team do a great job at creating the sounds of war across the battlefield. The sounds of swords and spells are also fantastic. Bioware once again killing their sound design.

    My final verdict for this game is a 9/10. This game is just everything an RPG fan could want in a game. It has easily 80+ hours per playthrough including 100+ for those who want to do everything in the game. I am really looking forward to DA4 as the DLC and ending to this game was very satisfying.    … Expand

The mechanics on this game is great and it offers more variety than what Dragon Age 2 had to offer, progressive system is very good and I’ve sunk a lot of time into this game. The story is good and the game can be challenging at times, I love exploring the new open world genre of Dragon Age and it made me feel really great to immerse myself into a world where demons, templars, dark spawn and mages clashing together that makes me feel part of something big. The real big thing I love about this game is them going back to their old roots of choosing races and classes to what you see fit for your play style. My criticism: There a few bugs here and there where some is sort of game breaking, the spawns can be quite daunting at times Hawkes new look design takes a bit getting used as he doesn’t seem to look like the one from DA2. There aren’t any different scenario stories with certain races you choose for the start of the campaign like DA Origins and that was my favourite part because of the replayability, now I am not criticising DA Inquisition for its replayability because it is fine and the story needed to make sense of what’s going on at the start unlike DA2 no matter what class you play or character you’ll see the exact same scenarios which can become very boring to play through again. Fingers crossed for DA4 to make improvements with replayabilities.… Expand

Yes they had more locations and space to explore, but outside of main story missions they did not invest enough effort to make all these maps engaging or meaningful. The story was great, but in some places Corypheus was a bit lacking as the main villain. This may be the best dragon age cast to date, however they mostly shine individually and don't really feel like they meld well together like in past titles.

    Dragon Age: Inquisition represents a glorious return to form for the series, with its huge world to explore, great cast of characters, and immensely satisfying combat and character progression. Despite its flaws, this is easily a contender for RPG of the year, and a must-have for most any gamer.
