I have actually played both, and love both series. I know they are not the same :wink: I was just stirring, sorry

I don’t think I’ve ever really played Inquisition, only the first two games on PC. But they’re so old now, and weren’t they top-down games?

Only if you zoom out far enough and make use of the “tactical” aspect of the game, but in general those games are for the most part 3rd person RPG games.

I wasn’t sure so I maar answered in full. No need to be sorry. The only shocking things from the post was the potential reality that you haven’t played Dragon Age :slight_smile:

I haven’t really played any of the games. I played the first one for about an hour and Inquisition for maybe 2 hours. I haven’t really had time to play them with life and the multitude of other games vying for attention.

This video sums up the division in the fanbase up very well:

I loved Dragon Age Origins but I really don’t get why people are now suddenly upset that the new game is not like that. Each DA Game so far has been slightly different, why would the newest one change that pattern? It’s also not like Origins is getting delisted or anything, they can still play it.

Those of us who prefer origins have been upset with each subsequent DA game. But atleast the other 2 provided a tactical combat option. Veilguard has no tactical option. BG3’s commercial success also shattered the illusion EA held of why DA had to go action has also increased the dissatisfaction from those who prefer origins style.

I am one of those that prefer Origins but I honeslty don’t mind the direction they are taking. Ive finised DA 2 once and Inquisition once on console and once on PC. I’ve finished Origins more times than I can remember.

Release date announced as halloween. They have stuck to the more traditional price point of $59.99 for the PC version and $69.99 for ps5&Xbox.
There is a digital deluxe but its pretty useless, you get 23 pieces of cosmetic armour. Not even the normal soundtrack or artbook offered.

For PC you can preorder from steam, epic,ea

You get some blood armour for prepurchase.

Extremely disappointing considering how many options you could carry over in previous da games…

Anyone playing it finding that it is more fun using your companions as support rather than damage? I love the synergistic buffs on my mage from them that allows me to clear the room. The setup - boom that the companions can do does not seem as good as what Rook can pull off as a mage with stacked buffs.

Finished the game today . Fantastic experience overall.
Do feel the lack of an evil/bad path does restrict replayability.

I finished Act 1 and then of course I decided it was time to start the game over again. Haha
