definitely BioWare's best effort in a long while, but if I'm being honest, BW has been lacking since their departure from interplay. It was good, though.
I've been completely won over by this isometric movement on PC. Would love to see some of them start coming to PSN and XBL because I know there are non-PC gamers out there itching for a good RPG. It's hard on consoles lately as all the RPGs tend to be action RPGs with little strategy or player agency. Action RPGs are fun, too, it's just as a fan of all RPGs it would be nice to have more of a selection. Console development has sort of moved away from RPGs in recent years.
I hated the game. It had some good moments with the pick your story moments (dialog and moral) in the game but the rest is just bad.
The role playing part of the game was done so bad. I can not think of on good thing to say about the role playing in the game. I put it down as one of the worse RPG I have ever played.
After putting origins through many playthroughs I was excited about what may come of the series. Then dragon age II came out and I absolutely despised the combat, and I know a lot of people were fine with it, but not me. The game felt way to short to and extremely linear compared to origins. So when I heard about DA:I I was on the wall about it. I saw the reviews and decided what the hell maybe ill find what I missed in DA 2. Not the case. I found myself bored with the quest and even the main story. The combat still left something to be desired for me as well. I tried and tried to push forward because, hell, I bought the damn thing. Yet, I found the only way I could was to play in small intervals of time. Forty minutes here, twenty there. It was the only way I could do, as oppose to playing for hours on end with origins.
Overall I believe Inquisition is a great game. To be honest though I still consider Origins the best in the series, that one had a soul and it kept me hooked all the way through. Inquisition on the other hand feels like it's dragging for too long. After 120 hours in the game and still not finished, I already feel burned out and just want to get it over with so I can move on to other games lol.
@BboyStatix: Yeah like I said it is. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a bad time playing it. It just feels like it overstayed its welcome and I'm simply eager to complete it so I can move on to something else.
@johnd13: In that case I have the same feeling actually. I always spaced out the story missions and did them when I was at the higher end of the level recommended level cap for each mission. I didn't exactly do each and everything but I did do most of the fun side missions (which imo really could've been a lot better). I think some things just got a bit repetitive so I lost interest in the end. I was super hooked on slaying dragons in the beginning but I now I completely lost interest. I've slain 5 so far. I told myself I'd slay them all but suddenly I don't have any interest in doing so. I guess I'll wait for all the dlc to come out before I get right back in.
I guess that's what happens when you burn yourself out on a game (and a great one at that).
DA: I is a great game after you get past closing the huge rift until then it is a pretty boring game and i feel that they made the mage characters feel weak compared to the other two games. the rogue is at its strongest yet i love playing it but i just wish they would have done something different with the mage.
I think it's an OK game. Far from the best RPG I've played in a long time... it's enjoyable, characterized by moments of greatness that get mired in bloat. I was often surprised and entertained by touching and enjoyable character interactions, but much of that surprise and pleasure was artificially enhanced by the fact that it came "out of the blue" following a long narrative dry spell where I was stuck in totally generic questing. I loved killing my first dragon, I loved the gorgeous and diverse environments. I'd give it a "good" rating as a complete package, but it could have been so so much better. They REALLY went too shallow with much of the game (from story to combat) for it to rise to greatness for me - 75% fewer fetch quests replaced by much substantially fleshing out of the major party quests (so they aren't just 1-off diversions) would make the game infinitely stronger.
i've not long since started my third attempt to get into it. thought i'd give it one more go before the witcher lands. i can totally understand when people say they only play for 30 - 40 min bursts. it still hasn't "clicked" with me yet, when you're enjoying it so much you get lost in the game for hours. it's always play a bit. stop. try again. repeat. hopefully third time's the charm...
Dragons Dogma was better you could actually climb onto the creatures. Dragon Age all you can do is hit them in the toe. Not to mention being stuck with the same armor for the first half of the game.
Loved this game. I put in about 80-90 hours and finished almost everything except some of the collectible stuff. I really enjoyed the world and the quests all seemed to fit in the world pretty well. so many good side quests and the companion quests were really some of my favorites.
@lord_magikarp: Nah, some just didn't like it. Like myself.
I can accept other people enjoying the game, as it has a good cast of characters and world variety. However, this 'alone' is not a winning combination for every gamer.
I was bored out of my mind in this game. I'm not seeing the good people did in this game. The whole time i was playing it was was hoping for it to get better. The combat was just dreadful. It may as well been a fully turn based game cause real time battle was so stiff and bad to control. I hated the healing system in the game also.

The healing system was the only good thing in the game.
I wish it was turn base because it would be improved some much. The biggest problem with the combat is that it focus too much one action.
I just can't get on board with the "mmo" feel of the combat - it's very mindless. I know it's "derived from" classic cRPGs, but it really REALLY doesn't feel like I'm playing Baldur's Gate 2, I'm sorry. Even when the combat is difficult, it's not clear that being strategic helps all that much. I also recommend nobody play this below "Hard"
