Dragon Age Inquisition

Dear God. Spend the 10 bucks to play the original first. That will take you at least 3 months.

Oh, I already own it. I've just never played it. Passing on Inquisition for now. ;D

I've yet to finish the game.
It kinda grows stale, boring and repetitive after a while.

I finished it twice. Have you killed any dragons? I don't find them boring and repetitive.

I'm not playing currently, but I'm sure I'll be back. This is the perfect game to tune up when I want to scratch the CRPG itch a little bit in a large, beautiful, well-realized world. I don't see how anybody could possibly prefer the humdrum Skyrim world to this. I love the keeps and camps system and gradually taking control of a new area.

Varric, Sera, Darian and Iron Bull are my favorite characters. Since two of them are rogues, I have played it through with a 2-handed fighter and a mage, and I have started a 3rd playthrough with a sword-and-board fighter.

Some of the interface stuff is tiresome, like having to change from weapons to armor to misc. just to look at all your inventory and having to stand right on top of crap to pick it up. And I just wish the upper-level armor was a little bit gaudier. These folks should take a gander at the top-end stuff in Diablo III. But then again, loot has never been Bioware's strong point.

It's pretty much like Skyrim in many ways.
Constant repetitions of same environments, enemies respawning (except in this game they respawn right on top of you or in front of you like in an MMO).
Dragon hunting is fun at first and boring at the end (the game's also bugged and I didn't get the achievement for slaying the 10 high dragons).

It would have been much better had they dropped the Skyrim/MMORPG-like stuff and stuck with what made previous Bioware games awesome.

There's a lot of things that make it unique, fun, and memorable...including the war table, crafting and the lore, amongst other things.

Gus - send me a few screenshots, stat!

Got two sick kids and a pissed off wife...may not happen tonight.

I have a bunch headed your way in a minute, Brant.

Gotta help a fellow Grog when he's in the "sick kid and pissed off wife" corner! :)

Got the email a few minutes ago and I'll go look. Thanks!

I finally finished up the game. I really dug it.

Has anyone purchased and of the 3 DLCs? If so, were they worth? Also, I can't tell if they need to be purchased in order or if you can get as much out of it by buying them in any order, anyone know?

Gusington · September 25, 2015, 08:39:19 PM

I bought the Descent, but I need a certain amount of power points to access it...16. I'm at 14 now.

Played 15-20 hours in the last 3 weeks. Rivals Skyrim for my favorite recent RPG. Awesome lore, runs like a dream, great graphics. Just a fantastic game all around.

Another DLC was released a week or two ago also.
