A thunderous return to form for the franchise after a misstep from Dragon Age 2. The deep lore of Thedas, always the highlight of a Dragon Age outing, takes center stage throughout. Your companions help lead you to discovery, but it's the implication of each new revelation for the greater fate of the world that really lands with the player.

The sprawling level designs and avalanche of quest material certainly ensures you can play in this playground for ages, but not all items on your To-Do list are of equal quality. For best results, stick mainly to main storyline quests, where the real impactful beats live.
