  • I planned to upload this video last December, but life happened, and I had to opt for posting it today - the first day of 2024! What better way to celebrate the New Year than posting a game review video about one of my favorite RPGs to date? I played Dragon Age: Inquisition long before I played the first two Dragon Age games, and even then I loved it.
    Now that I came back to it after playing the first two games, it just got even better! It's not the best game, and it's definitely not perfect, but Dragon Age Inquisition is definitely up there for me!
    Hope you guys enjoy the video! Have a great day, and great start to the New Year, ahead!

    My biggest turn off was the UI. Instead of having a cool thematically fitting one like in origins, it looks like a mobile game. Not to mention the 'radar' you have.

    I've had my share of playthroughs with all the races and enjoyed the experience, but I wish there were some improvements: a) greater diversity of equipment with more satisfying loot (you collect weak items in droves); b) it would be cool if the upgrades made to the castle had a practical purpose in the story and perhaps at the end of the game to make some special mission more balanced or more difficult; c) I would like the character's maximum level to be higher (50 is a good number) and there were more skills available (the current variety is poor and certain skills are so bad that they are the source of jokes) and d) I would like the Wartable to have more operations and their results could interfere with the plot given the way you manage the Inquisition's resources and the success of operations themselves.

  • @itzmikeduh
    @itzmikeduh 6 місяців тому +5

    I liked the game but honestly i felt more intensly connected to DA:2. I also felt like the decisions in DA:2 had more effect on overall outcomes. In inquistion, sure you can choose mage or templar and the way the story is told is altered but you still come to the same conclusion. DA:I You feel less impact morally than other titles. Also i liked combat in DA:O & weirdly I liked DA:2 combat also (totally different but affective for those games), with that said DA:I the combat feels like a compromise between games 1&2 and therefore gets old and repetitive to me. DA:I does have some cool SIM aesthetics though...i love building up skyhold, judging baddies, gaining new merchants via world decisions, crafting was cool, Inquisitor unlocking new non combat clothing was cool and by far the best iteration of the romance/friend system is available in DA:I. I think the cast of party members is good but felt more connected to DA:2 party. What DA:I does better than the previous titles is look of the world and injecting you into that world. Beautiful scenes. My analysis is as follows: Best story DA:2, Best core Mechanics DA:O, Best Visuals DA:I

    currently just started Pathfinder I mean not really currently, I'm 62 hrs in. but other than Combat, it is everything I want DA4 to be. it is what INquisition should have been
    I am biased cause I loved Origins and DA2. Was disappointed with DA2 while DAI kind of helped redeem that disappointment.
    but man.... DA4 should really be like Pathfinder. I want that scale, I want that weight, that leadership, the authority.... I want all that pressure on the player to make the right decision

  • @hjge1012
    @hjge1012 7 місяців тому +3

    Imo this was a step back, even from DA2. DA1 was amazing. DA2 was disappointing when compared to 1, but still kind off okay, and with this game the series lost its soul. Because at its core this is an MMO. This isn't really a CRPG anymore. You can also clearly see that by what parts they started cutting out. Things like dialogue, characters, items and choices were all down costed. And all that in favour of adding some walking simulator content.
    Overall it isn't really a bad game, it just isn't a 'Bioware game' anymore, nor is particularly good in its own right. It's average -- and that's probably the worst thing a game like this can be.

    • @valmayorbruh

    All u have to do to speed thru war table mission times is change the systems internal clock lol. So if ur on PS4 change the PS4 time forward that many hours. After you complete quest, revert the time back to normal. Was that not obvious to everyone or did y'all see those 17 hour missions and just assume that you were meant to wait that time bahahahah?

    • @valmayorbruh
      @valmayorbruh  6 місяців тому +4

      I tried playing the game as intended. I'm sure the devs didn't make the war table with the intent of having players change the time on their PC/Console to skip it. The fact we even had to do that means it was flawed already.
      I get your point that there was a workaround for it though. thanks for pointing it out for people who'd like to try this game out in the future

  • @lukeorloki
    @lukeorloki 6 місяців тому

    I did not like vanilla DAI. The DLC are good to great.
    The vanilla DAI story isn't written well. The writing of many of the villains makes them seem about as sophisticated a children's cartoon villain. The greywardens were written as feckless to just absent idiots. The rebel mages just made no sense to what they were. The writing concerning the mages was really really really poor. They had a cool story point where you find the tranqils are being horribly murdered and the game just WTF immediately forgets that that was part of the story. You have to choose either mages or templars and luckily the templars writing is perhaps the best of the games so far. It forces me to choose templars because the mages storyline just isn't playable as written IMO.
    The open world is mostly pointless bad MMO like filler content making the 100 hour gameplay a big negative instead of a positive. The war table had much better tasks we couldn't do than the open world, waste players time, content. In a perfect world it would have been cool to also be able to play as inquisition subordinates to do war table tasks and the lesser open world exploration saving the main character to choose tasks that were meaningful to their place in the story.
    Companions were amazing as usual for bioware. Music was 10 of 10.
    The graphics are often stunning even by current standards but the world and gameplay feel at times as soulless as the tranquils murders that nobody cares about.
    I hope I live to see this game remade someday. DAI could easily be as good as Witcher 3 or BG3 if the open world, poor story writing, and other issues were fixed.
    I played DAI through twice but I'm going to try to head cannon that I never played this game so I don't have the greyspawn, rebel mages, Tevinter, and vanilla DAI main villain existing as so poorly written in DAI. The main character without a real origin felt slightly forgettable anyways.
    I'm hopeful DAD will be good with all Bioware has learned from their previous games.

      @@anisopiavision736 the party system has been in the game from the very first Dragon Age game. In fact they've actually lessened that aspect of it and made it overly simplified. If you like it in inquisition, it's far more tactical and in-depth in origins. Even Dragon Age 2 has more tactical options for the party-based combat. It barely functions in Inquisition, and in fact, youll be fighting your ranged characters feom koving into melee range. Cole will always be dead. Bull and Cassandra constantly run off screen, and most of the abilities just dont function with the incredibly limited ai, unless you manually micromanage.
      Youre not wrong for liking a game. But what you like about it, is done much MUCH better in origins, and even 2.. aside from the wartable.
