Dragon Age: Inquisition

I put 700 hours into the multiplayer at launch, so I obviously liked that aspect of it. Coming to the single-player a decade later, it shows its age in terms of graphics and voice acting, but its main flaw is in modelling itself as some kind of offline MMORPG. Needing to perform repetitive fetch quests and the like to progress the story at points is not my idea of good design.

Great game held back by too many fetch quests and limitations to combat. Worth playing.

it's only an 85 if you only do as many side quests as necessary, so barely any. i love the graphics, dialogue wheel, both sera and cass had great romances. cool mechanics like how the party likes you, can leave you, who becomes the priestess thing lol, the judgment+war table was kinda cool and could be great, love the online keep, combat is trash, kinda tedious crafting helped, i love the story and where it's going. my morrigan and my son < 3 and flemeth bruh

great and complex story.. 100hrs+

Must be played on the hardest level of difficulty. Tactical combat is amazing.

Poorly optimized, terrible movement. Story doesn't seem to be interesting. Typical dumb Hollywood fantasy story.

The mechanic where your personality in cutscene changed based on how you acted in game was cool. I forgot most other things about this game and remember the leadership mechanic being too simplified to be interesting. Aggressively mid game

One of the most boring games that I've ever played. Can only recommend this to someone who thinks that MMO questing and harvesting is the pinnacle of gaming.

Had I played this when it was released I might feel different. These days I'm sick of open world games (still love some, but it's not a selling point anymore) so tripping over repetitive side quests everywhere I go doesn't appeal to me. And being forced to do so many to advance is a pet peeve of mine. But I do like the game still; pretty good story, good graphics, fun (but not fantastic) combat, decent depth. Checks a lot of boxes, does none exceptionally well.

Oi, what a stinker. I wonder why Andromeda got the outraged fan reaction when DA:I was an even worse game on almost every front. If I wanted to do MMO quests, I'd play an MMO. Pretty graphics though.
