By DY_nasty Go To PostMy super unpopular opinion now is that Dragon Age 1 is the worst in the series.Fair enough. I’ve only played the original and never bothered after the “press a button something awesome happens” shit lol.
Replayed it last year and I reallllly feel that it being a departure from conventional WRPGs and DnD stuff, while still having a large scope, made it pop more than anything else.
I actually think they did a better job writing their way out of holes in the DA series than they did with Mass Effect now too.
Dragon Age 1 is decent (the fade isn't that bad really, only on like the third, fourth replay), but going back to it, yeah, it's too edgy and formulaic. Still had a ton of fun playing it. Morrigan and Alistair ride that line between funny banter and insufferable bickering well, but that's the thing with Bioware. As soon as they get that successful dynamic they want to repeat it over and over again and end up catering to the worse part of their fanbase, the ex-Bioware forum dwellers, tumblr visiting shippers who never missed an episode of Supernatural and want every character to be something to fawn over instead of you know, people.
DA2 has a much better premise and much more interesting politics, but they couldn't even realize 10% of that potential. That game part is a complete letdown and they doubled down on some of the meme characters. Inquisiton is just awful imo. Never played Trespasser DLC, but apparently is about taking Solas (one of the better realized allies) and turning him into a villain or something, so I can understand why people would like it. Another thing they kept fucking up was the Mages v Templars relationship with fucks like Anders, etc. but Solas always seemed to have the most interesting takes around it.

Anders was absolutely awful and like... while I think it was the point - dude was just too awful lmao
Arishok was godlike too. Like its weird that they just cranked out good antagonists and man vs world shit like it was nothing for DA. But they settle on crispy blob man as the main bad through Inquisition? ugh

Only thing I remember about Dragon Age that I liked Mass Effect 1 so much that I bought the collector edition of DA:O
Great case. That’s about all I could say for the game though

Try 2. Most ridiculously over-hated game on the internet.
Inquisition killed my interest in the series though. Not excited in the slightest for DA4.
By Xpike Go To PostSo what are the leaks for State of Play?
lots of boring shit like PSVR and more crossgen nonsense
By Punished Go To PostGee, DS3 is the hardest of them yet. Or maybe because I'm starting off as a magic type.Mix it up with pyro, you'll one shot everything in sight in no time.
