It looks pretty and all but playing it feels like someone is pulling out my teeth one by one. I really want to indulge in the characters and story but I can't do that if my character has the physical prowess of a boulder
Environments that are just too big for their own good, too much padding, and a clunky combat system hold this back from being among Bioware's all time greats. When the game is good, its excellent. Cast feels interesting and lively, and the story moments hit hard as hell when you can finally get to them. One of those game's where the biggest issue is just trying to put too much stuff into a game that does not need it.
Dragon Age Inquisition currently I have over 600+ hours across all runs and consoles (PC and PS4) and in this run as a Rogue Lavellan who romanced Solas I have over 102 hours in this and I 100% it a grueling task and a lot of break from what was originally started in February to now well, it was hard but I did it!
For positives I would say that I really like the story and the late game elements of it, I think the writers shines the most in this regard because while I never really liked Corypheus and I think outside from the 2 dlc he was in this game makes him look so incompetent and I think he was a boring villain all around I did like a lot of this game’s story and the characters the writing in each character is strong and I like participating the journey it has led and the heartbreaks with Solas hurts me at the end of the Trespasser dlc and I will never love a bald man again. Joking aside this game is pretty solid and I would say the game is worth it for the story alone but it is a long game so be prepared for that. Another point I like in this game is the combat, personally I don’t like how it felt more of a MMORPG that focuses on getting the damage numbers up and I hope that Veilguard will change that but I have a specific build that I made that pretty much makes me solo everything with relative ease with my Rogue and since I’m playing it on Nightmare it did help me out a lot.
Negatives. A lot of the negatives is the fact that this game even at its current state is a buggy mess especially when the frostbite engine wasn’t made for an action rpg game that feels more like a mmo and it shows, the game has a lot of glitches that still wasn’t patched and bugs that gives me a hard time, some areas look wonky and overall it needed more time in the oven to be more ready and compared to Veilguard which is using the same engine but more upgrade, I have high hopes that it will do better. Another issue is the combat itself and while I did sing my praises, it still bugs me that it focuses more on increasing g damage numbers for the sake of it and the said build was explicitly made for that reason and while I did have fun I can understand why people won’t like it.
Now Corypheus, I like it when we don’t know much about him in 2’s dlc and he was an interesting villain for that dlc but to make him a full fledge villain for Inquisition’s story is an odd choice and I originally wanted to see how it goes but the more I play the game the more I just find him so boring, he is such a one note villain that I genuinely prefer the Araashok from 2 who was the villain of the game’s chapter 2 to be way more interesting and complex than he ever was. Compared to the other main villains of the series he just falls flat because I prefer Loghain and Merideth more than this magister darkspawn.
Overall I believe this game is good for those who are open minded about this game but I do understand why not a lot of people will like this one much. Either way my run with the series is complete and I am so excited for Dragon Age The Veilguard to come out this fall by the time I wrote this

solid game, besides some problems in game design and quest design.
''send leniana to investigate'' Why this is in the game bro? idk
corypheus is a mid villain, I didn't give a shit for that bald motherfucker the entire game
impressive level design tho, all of the areas of the game are unique. The dialogues is funny af too, bethesda really needs to learn with THIS bioware(not the actual one) in how to make a Protagonist that speaks without sacrifcies his entire personality with options like: Yes; No; Yes but with some bullshit; No with some bullshit.

Surprisingly bad game for how good it is. Won’t elaborate.
Até hoje estou devendo jogar o Dragon Age 1 e 2. Essa foi a primeira vez que experimentei a franquia, e gostei consideravelmente.
Muitas pessoas, fãs mais devotos do jogo original, não são muito chegados no Inquisition, nunca cheguei a concluir o primeiro para saber se ele é realmente tão superior. Mas o que eu experimentei aqui me agradou muito.
Poucos jogos me prenderam tanto em suas histórias e personagens, o mundo de Dragon Age, mesmo que bem clichê, possui alguns pontos únicos que são muito interessantes de serem vistos. E apesar do combate, relativamente simples, o foco de Dragon Age está no mundo e trama, e aqui isso é passado muito bem.
Claro, Dragon Age sofre fortemente da famosa "Dissonância Ludonarrativa", termo que já virou chavão, mas virou porque é algo muito comum na indústria, quando a história se desconecta da gameplay, e as missões super urgentes que não podem ser atrasadas porque o futuro da humanidade depende delas. Na verdade são atrasadas o tempo todo, e no fim não há muito problema niss.

underappreciated game mechanic: the thrill of jumping off a steep cliff with 10hp, breaking every bone in your body upon impact and only losing 9hp, then limping up the next cliff and doing it again. mountains tremble under my footsteps, horses quake upon my approach, and the winter palace thinks i'm a goddamn lunatic
Dropped it shortly after getting to Skyhold. I remember liking this game in 2014, but it just doesn't hold up for me. Terrible padding with power system. Open world zones are filled with boring and repetitive content. The biggest sin is the combat. The combat is just not fun or engaging. Enemies are just so tanky. This isn't thoughtful tactics gameplay or fun action it's just busy work. It mixes the two and ends up being a poor action game and poor attempt to say it still has tactics like origins.
Tenho que admitir, Dragon age: Inquisition me surpreendeu em algumas questões.
Começando pela diversidade de mapas e o level design, fiquei genuinamente surpreso pelo esforço visível que tiveram, evitou cansar a gameplay tão cedo. Contudo, ainda fico negativo com relação a jogabilidade do Inquisition, é um pouco quebra de clima você simplesmente deixar de lado o desafio da estratégia que o Dragon age: Origins tinha.
Tenho várias críticas a história do jogo.
Mas só pra situar, a partir de um determinado momento (talvez o meio jogo) eu comecei a perder interesse pelo desenrolar das coisas, principalmente pelo Corypheus (vilão principal), que além de não atender as expectativas, só te fez de chacota, continuou um verdadeiro porre, até o fim.
Ok, eu admito que as linhas de diálogos me fisgaram.

Some of the worst questing and gameplay I’ve ever experienced in an RPG.
Was 2014 really that bad a year that this garbage won game of the year awards? I need to get to the bottom of this so let me send Leliana to investigate, will hear back in 5 hours.
