+ Show Spoiler + After I let Hawke sacrifice himself, Varric's champion select tarot card has changed. I already felt sorry for the guy, but that picture scared the living hell out of me. I'm not sure what's the pre-rendered DA2 choice for Varric and the red lyrium, but it seems like that he is being torn apart by the demons of the red lyrium. Fuck! Also, Sera's changed to a funny one. Such a cool feature! | ||

Still not finished with the campaign, but the biggest reason this game can only be equal to DA:O is because of the glitches and the fucked up tactical mode. That's one thing that I have to trigger an event so that my disappeared party member can be seen (it's not planned, it's a bug), but when I need 24 hours and a pc restart to be able to see Leliana when I've been meaning to talk with her to continue a quest is not fucking acceptable. Also, if I were not a save-maniac, I would've been screwed by now, because if you go to Sera's "loyalty quest", chances are, you will be stuck there forever thanks to a bug. I read people lost as much as 9 or 10 hours of gameplay because of it. If it were polished, the only* thing DA:O had on DAI is that Origins felt like it was giving us complete freedom in some quests, and you wanted to play them through again with different origins, with different race, with different class, with different companions and with different options. But it's not like Inquisition did not try to go for that: I think it's awesome when after a main quest, my companions reaction depends on whether I brought them there or not. Add to that that during the quest all of my companions got a special conversation, and it makes that quest infinitely fun to replay. (*well, that, and the whole from zero to hero storyline, which makes you much more invested) | ||

My initial conclusions are when I only played like 2-3 hours and didn't have much time to really sit down and play alot. Got the opportunity this holiday. game really opens up once you reach Skyhold imo EA should have released a demo up to the events before Skyhold wish there was a way to save different pages of Tactics & AI | ||

Have to agree though that they're slow with patching. But that was to be expected sadly. They probably will bring a big patch sometime soon, but then there won't be another for months. That's what it is for most game companies. So I hope they don't screw up the next patch. There are many well known bugs in this game which need fixing, such as the crappy gender bug I'm still having (since I refused creating a new char). It's not gamebreaking, just weird as hell. :D | ||

The Fade is the second most innovative part of the series (first being making interesting decisions). The Fade in Inquisition just feels unimaginative and a normal zone made dark. I agree. I thought the fade in Origins with innovative and cool. It was like solving a puzzle. The inquisition fade doesn't feel like anything but a dark themed world like you said. | ||

The fade in Inquisition is a middle-ground. It's not as exciting as it was sometimes in Origins, but it's so much more playable. I'm already thinking about who I'm gonna take there in my next playthrough to hear the special conversations. Anyway, damned 70 hours and I think I'm 1 quest away from finishing the game. And no, I did not finish all the sidequests. There's an entire area I never revisited since I was lvl 5 or 6, and another one where I halted the mission. And no, I'm not talk about "fetch me this and that" side-quests, I'm talking about the ones you unlock for a lot of power and they are all different and they all have something unique in them. I never got Dorian's loyalty quest either, and there are a million other side quests within side quests AND IM STILL NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SIDEST SIDE-QUESTS IN THIS GAME!!! So crazy man.... I go to complete a "kill bad guys here, here and here" mission and I'm stumbling into enormous trees, half dozen giants, and whatnot. It was deep into the night (like now), and I was "no... NO.... all right, damn you!". Then I go out to hunt something down and in the not so distant I can see a dragon. She's just there, I found her myself! During one of the side-quests one of my companions tells me an entire story throughout the progress of that sidequest, and no, it was not a companion-specific quest so I'm pretty sure if I were to take someone else, he/she would've told me a different story. I'm sick of this content; disgustingly huge. There are so many stuff I just had to write some of it out of myself. As I said, I played for 70 hours now (yes, I excluded the time it counted while I was afk/alt-tabbing from esc-menu) and I barely had time to feel like I was grinding. After like 25 hours or so I stopped collecting every little stuff and I stopped trying to explore every map. "All right Volband, let's just do the quests shall we? We'll grind for uber-gear and fetch-quests in our next palythrough!" Yeah, my ass! Even this way it's a never-ending story. I never thought that after Origins I ever have the chance to really role-play with my character within the game, but here comes Inquisition. Things matter here. I already praised how extremely cool that your specialization is noticed and unlocks new dialogue options, but you even have race-specific dialogue options and your origins is recognized in many conversations and quests. Oh, and I'm playing human... yes, the most cliché race I could choose. I can't even imagine what the game is like through the eyes of a Dwarf or an Elf, not to mention a Qunari! And this is my favorite cast in the Dragon Age series, hands down. Cole had a terrible start at me, but once you proceed with his side-quest, it is awesome. And sad. And hard. And decisions. Decisions. DECISIONS! I love them. Finally I'm not playing the mother/father of some idiot, who thinks the world's population should be sacrificed OR every mage should be killed. I mean, it wasn't THAT simple in DA2, but boy, bring Anders and Fenris with you, and listen to their high-quality input. "Oooh Hawke, you screwed another apostate. Why Hawke? You hate me too? I bet you hate me too. I still want to have sex with you though, hihi. Can I? Please?" or "Filthy mages. They are. All of them. I am mad. Look at me. See these marks? These are mad-marks. Because I'm mad. Now come, kill my master." Pathetic. Not here , though! While the choices in Inquisition - for me, at least - rarely felt as hard as the very major ones in Origins, there are still plenty of them, many of them are still requires you to think for a few minutes and they have consequences. Yes. finally I'm not a friggin' tool, to herd the incompetent so they can murder each other anyway, giving me 0 control over the events at hand. No, I am deciding over fates, empires and even more. It is satisfying, but it's also a burden, especially when I have to make serious decisions for my companions. It shapes my character! The game also has some really cool surprises for you, and probably none of our companions is what you were made out of them when you first met them. There is something deeper in each and every one of them. You might hate Sera, and labeling her as some sort of cheap comic relief, or detest Cole for being just a mysterious weirdo, or neglecting Blackwall because he is just a boring guy, but nooo, it's so much worth to invest time in these people! Even Varric loses his immunity; he survived DA2 with basically ONE emotional moment, and he could always be "just the friend of Hawke", but no more! He's not not telling this story, so the parts where he is either joyful or tremendously sad are not excluded. He's more human. Err, I mean, dwarf. Can't say much about the romance options, only did one, but I can assure you that Cullen is worth it, especially if you plan to specialize as a templar, because you get extra conversation options with him (too). Funny, he is my first male guy in any rpg I romance. It still felt weird, but since Cassandra is not into women, he seemed like the absolute perfect candidate for my righteous Inquisitor. I was pleasantly surprised, because it did felt mature. While my fantasies would've been fulfilled if my Inquisitor were to run around naked with Cass or Sera, the Cullen romance still gave me two quite memorable scenes which can not be seen if you choose someone else. | ||
