The Dragon Age: Inquisition Thread

Stop unironically posting about playing this abominable game.

This is a threat.

Not only have you ensured we will continue to post in this thread, but you've also drawn attention to yourself.

You are now synonymous with Dragon Age Inquisition.

You are the DAI boy.

So tell us, why is it your favorite game and why do you fantasize about gay sex with Gaider?

I wonder which game's existence triggers him more: this one or Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground?

Yes, good question!

DAI boy what's your answer?

This was originally developed as an MMO and later repurposed into a single-player game, right?

It feels like it, in many ways yes. Scaled down quite a bit and called it a day.

The game is structured in a very weird way, which also makes me wonder. Every story element is contained in its own level and isn't in contact with the game world.

So the first mission is in its own isolated level, like the first mission of DAO. Then you're put into an "open world", but that world isn't really open, it's several different areas you can travel to.

None of these areas tie directly to the main plot, but when you finish enough quests in an area, you are whisked away into a separate "instance" where the main plot continues.

So none of the large areas are connected to the main plot. It's all very sloppy and seemingly hastily thrown together.

Would have been a shitty MMO.

I've never seen a good MMO, but I get your point.

What do you think DAI Boy?

It's all very sloppy and seemingly hastily thrown together.

To me, it really feels souless. Other than a few gimmicks, such as the cards that accompany the story-telling blurbs, or the mini-games where you have to look through the telescope to find the shard, or the constellation drawing, it really does feel souless.

It's actually quite baffling that this was released 2 years after Skyrim, and - of course - Dark Souls, and it feels like it learned no lessons from the two.

I also feel like the people doing the VO tried, but there are basically no characters there. And script is pure trash. Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

To each their own, but I’ve had fun in DDO and vanilla WoW. They’re not RPGs, but there’s some fun to be had. I have also put an ungodly amount of time into SWTOR, but I wouldn’t say it was a particularly good MMO.

I played some WoW BC, it wasn't bad, just not my thing.

What do you think DAI fan no.1? Are MMOs as awesome as Dragon Age Inquisition?

[Anthedon]

Pretty fitting what's going in this thread considering its subject matter.

 

[Skinwalker]

I stopped playing this shit after the ugly bald elf took me to his super-sekrit fortress in the mountains and banal shit boring base management stuff began (also Hawke showed up). I think that was the point when the autistic demon-child companion's literal retardation started severely getting on my nerves, on top of everything else, and thus DA:I became the first RPG I uninstalled without ever playing it through to the end at least once.

If only I could also uninstall the memories of endless collection quests, hideous companions and featureless, generic levels.

 

[slymer]

It's a fine game, but went on a bit too long. The DLC's were useless and didn't add anything besides the Solas one.

 

[SpaceWizardz]

A mid-development decision (Presumably, to release on 7th gen consoles) required cutting a lot of content and features they've developed at that point.
Some shakycam early footage:

I don't think we lost Bioware's magnum opus, but it's bizarre how most of what's shown in that video isn't actually in the final game.

Uh, hello? The enslaved elves, the dvarves with their caste system, the templars with their lirium addiction the magic users etc etc. Almost every familiar fantasy component is somehow subverted. I mean, of course you can call it derivative as a whole - that's not incorrect at all but my point is that the absence of Gods fits nicely. Looking back at DA:O with this knowledge I don't see any problems.

Everything in DAO is derivative of Song of Ice and Fire and Wheel of Time and a number of other 90s dark-fantasy tropes. It's Gaider's fan-fiction.

Things can be derivative even if they're aren't ripping off Tolkien directly.

Pretty much. Add some Warhammer 40k in the mix.

It's a fine game, but went on a bit too long. The DLC's were useless and didn't add anything besides the Solas one.

The "Solas" one didn't add anything. It took removed things if anything, not just the protagonist's arm, but also the story integrity.

What little there was. The first two DLCs added content, not great content, but more of the same. The "Solas" DLC was the only one which was complete garbage and detracted from everything that had come before.

It made the protagonist a complete weakling because Mary Sue Solas had to get some autistic attention from the asslicking Gaiderites in the writing department.

The entire character of Solas in the main game stops making sense because of that DLC. It's a mess.

Would have been nice when I played it, a good mod. The game just lacks content, that's its worst flaw IMO.

Cool. Is there one that replaces the gameplay?

Imagine being such an autistic little faggot fuck that he's unironically using doge memes.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

"This is a threat."

Wow. I've had farts with more IQ than the brainfart behind that post.

Fedora Master you want a game key or summat for this? Is that why you're upset?
