The Dragon Age: Inquisition Thread

[Just Locus]

I played DA:I a long time ago long into the 20+ hour playtime, and while my memory is generally vivid, It just felt to me like a really monotonous ARPG that has most of its efforts put into its presentation rather than gameplay, It's one of those games that lose its luster a few hours in.

On the bright side, I installed Dragon Age: Origins yesterday

I didn't play it long, but it felt like I was playing a bad MMO where the only other people playing were piss for brained reddit users who never shut up.

I used Cassandra as another melee character 80% of the time, and sometimes Blackwall, mostly Vivienne as a mage, swapped her at sometimes for Solas. Dorian was used sparingly, because he annoyed me.

I picked my protagonist as a mage specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with any mage companion's bullshit, I hate them all. Varrick is the only Rogue who isn't completely atrocious (with Sera and Cole being babbling autistic retards), Blackwall is fairly ok, and I'm torn between Cassandra and Iron Bull.

On one hand, Iron Bull is a Qunari and a faggot, otoh Cassandra is a mannish wmxnz. Which is worse and why?

If you can get over the fact she looks like a greased up gorilla, Cassandra's the most normal character in the entire game. She's the closest DAI ever gets to have an Origins-like character, even if it's still a ways off. There's nothing particularly bad about her writing aside from her being into erotic fanfics in what's supposed to be a medieval setting, which is some stupid shit but it only comes up in one missable dialogue. She's otherwise normal and as an added bonus is the only character who treats the Chantry like Origins did. She has actual faith in the Maker and respect for the church and takes the whole crisis seriously.

Iron Bull meanwhile is matched only by Sera in embodying everything wrong with DAI and showcasing how terrible of a decline the series had. His only two reasons to exist are for Gaider's gay muscleman fetish and to shit on anyone who liked Sten or the Arishok or who found the Qunari interesting before.

He has no character and no personality, he spews anachronistic verbal diarrhea in every conversation, and all he's there to do is add sex appeal for women and gay men while acting as a billboard for Bioware to show off how they retconned the Qunari to be the heckin progger and inclusive good guys.

Sera has more character than he does. I would take the deformed goblin that never shuts up over Iron Bull no questions asked.

Likewise with Blackwall and he's even more mundane than Cassandra in his backstory.

the deformed goblin that never shuts up

I told you I'm not using Solas. Oh, you meant Sera? Or was Cole the one you had in mind here?

Good points about Iron Bull and the ultra-liberal neo-Qunari.

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

I think the key is to stay away from the Hinterlands, it's the worst and largest level in the game, afaik, chock-full of generic fetch quests and collections.

Basically every single area in the game is like this. There's no change in the formula, fuck all of them.

Dorian was used sparingly, because he annoyed me.

Doesn't DA:I have a shoehorned multiplayer? If so, maybe your friends can make the grindy gameplay bearable, but I dunno to what degree given it's atrociousness lmao

DA:I has a terrible dungeon crawler co-op multiplayer. ME3MP was the only good multiplayer by BioWare and it was a lightning in a bottle.

The thread is gonna get bumped by idiots anyway, might as well shit in the ocean of shit.

DA:I has a terrible dungeon crawler co-op multiplayer.

How different is it from regular DA:I? I imagined it wouldn't have been any different from normal DA:I just with 3 other players as opposed to 3 different companions.

You can’t play a campaign in co-op. It’s reusing singleplayer areas, boring and grindy. Matches were too long for less rewards compared to the excellent ME3MP.

 

[teenage honved fan]

I have very little memory of DA:I, I remember enjoying it, but that was about it. Romanced Josephine, started fighting the additional dragons then got bored one day and never finished it.

Playing Inquisition after 2017 is both an act of necrophilia and coprophagy.

Before 2017 it was only coprophagy.

Yes.

It's mostly masochism. *whips xirself harder*

Crestwood was initially an interesting-looking area, with moody nighttime lighting and zombies rising from a place with ghostly lighting.

Then I solved the area quest, it became daytime, and now it's just as bland and boring as the accursed Hinterlands.

 

[Skinwalker]

The gayme keeps shitting out these "special requsitions" that I never asked for, and gives me unbelievably hideous weapons and armor that I just sell immediately. The latest "pearl" was a ginormous red lyrium staff (I thought that stuff is extremely toxic and dangeous?) and swords.

The hideousness of dragon fag cisquisition is not limited to goblin faces and retarded nobles' outfits.

As kinky guy myself it I've had some strange experiences. Over time, however, people increasingly ask themselves whether such debasement is actually what they want from life. Now I feel a bit ashamed of these experiences, but I try to draw strength from them for further life.

I think that was a lesson that I had to learn some lessons from.

Shut the fuck up

 

[Aarwolf]

I agree with the criticisms of the game obvs, but I will maintain that the Dwarf DLC is good

All I rememeber from that DLC is that I felt very tired when I finished it and that it wasn't worth it. Not that the base game or the other DLC were.

Singleplayer MMO is how I would describe it. It is unreal how it was designed to waste the player's time.

It was an MMO before it got retooled into a singleplayer game IIRC.

Imagine the disaster Dreadwolf will be where it's gone back and forth between being a multiplayer and singleplayer game 4 or 5 times.

 

[Skinwalker]

I've always naturally assumed that DAI was developed as an MMO and then get retrofitted into single-player like Lords of the Amalur, but when I stated this in this very thread years ago, some people (I think Rougay) gave me shit for it, and posted "proofs" that this wasn't really the case.

I'm still mystified to this very day.
