      Sure though, after ME Bioware drastically cut down on roleplay in their games. But in DA 2 and Inquisition you can at least be rude, strongly disagree with your companions and in a couple of places even downright sabotage their personal quests.
      It isn't much, but it's hell of a lot more than you can do in Veilguard.

      In otherwords, if your gonna be playing a god damn RPG with a emphasis on player customization & choices, said game, better have more plot progression pathings then the number of endings in Shadow the Hedgehog (the video game).
      Aka literally Baldur`s Gate 3 where its not simply about being a Dik sometimes cause you feel like it and your rail roaded to be a good boi. Its instead where you can actually have real effects on the story with who lives, dies, ends up in a entirely different state of being and actually affects thar epilogue in real ways.
      AKA the best fun is where even if you still at the end of the game, defeat the `beeg bad antagonist` of the story, how you approach it can be so flexible that you can either rush them and huck them into space, deploy a tactical chain reaction of splosions, end up causing them to contract some kind of dangerous disease that actually makes them die by the end of the game or just be so fragile you can blow them over with a gust of wind.
      Hence why some games become not only fantastic to play multiple times over but also to even watch to see how some people manage to pull off things you never thought could be possible due to some particular things needing to be done to find out about it.

Only 5% of players ever really saw the bad path, but it existing is what made the good path meaningful. And yet, here we are. Playing Warriors who's entire skill tree is mage spells and being the super nice all the time.

    In Origins you can pimp out your cousin and I think like five or six other women to a depraved noble for 40 gold. I don't think in terms of objective evil it really compares to what can be done later or in BG3, but its grounded enough in reality ("Take the money and walk away") that its really something else. Which was honestly the strength of Origins; no matter how big the threat the evil option always felt personal. Durge feels like a power fantasy; evil yeah, but like you're the bad guy in a story (which you are, and which is the point, and it does an excellent job at that). An evil Warden? At the lowest you're a thug hurting people for money, and at the highest you're a thug hurting people because no one can stop you partially because they're weaker and partially because they need you.
    Only a handful of options feel a bit out there, and they're usually at the end of major questlines. Most of the game you walk through and do things like abandoning a village to die because its easier or anulling the circle because its simpler, leaving someone to either starve to death or get eaten by darkspawn because you have no benefit to freeing them, putting down a dog because you don't want to spend time finding a flower, letting your friend from the very beginning of the game get either exiled or executed, and stuff like that. Its petty in comparison to what you can pull in BG3 but a lot of it is stuff that real people can end up doing which always feels more grounded to me.

I do agree that it was not straight up evil like DA:O or DAII options were, but to me it would have been a bit out of place anyway considering the amonth of attention the protagonist was getting in Inquisition. You could not go into a random cavern in the middle of the most shady mountain to sacrifice some puppies to acquire blood magic, you have both responsabilities and people actually paying attention to your actions. Idk, the "good stuff" only didn't feel forced in Inquisition. The graphisms were garbage tho.

      To be fair that is a dark urge playthrough. If you don’t know the Forgotten Realms Bhaal god of murder and assassins had a bunch of mortal kids during the time of troubles. It was his play to avoid destruction. Thing is gods are very hard to actually destroy. So despite being stabbed with a sword that was a god trapped in sword form. Bhaal comes back. The “Dark Urge” is a Bhaal spawn over a hundred years after the “time of troubles”. It very much pays respect to old school 2nd Ed D&D lore along with BG1 and 2.

    Bg3 was both the main inspiration and reason this game sucks so much ass. It tries to be something it just not is

      Ahh no they did not. Black Isle studios did and they were a subsidiary of Interplay at the time. I don’t even know if BioWare existed yet. Beamdog made the “enhanced editions” and “Siege of Dragonspear”.
