Fallout 4 vs Dragon Age: Inquisition

I put more hours into Fallout, but I prefer Inquisition.

This thread makes zero sense.

Dragon Age saved a franchise at death's door because of how badly Dragon Age 2 turned out.

The alleged "good" dragon age game: that is origins is a massive a piece of shit that requires one to completely forget how crpgs played to accept that as some love letter to the glory days of Baldur's Gate, so I'm just going to assume a Bethesda made Fallout game is better than Dragon Age 3. #MaximumIntegrity.

@undefined: I do not consider either game a disappointment. I enjoyed both immensely, issue notwithstanding. Yeah, I can play the Witcher now and see why it's a more narrative developed game than dragon age, and I can see why and where fallout gets its neighsayers as well... Both games won game of the year awards... In dragon ages case, it won several. Inquisition was the only dragon age game I liked and fallout 4s world building saved it from being a copy of fallout 3 (which isn't a bad thing... But I like parity)

I love anything Dragon Age. I've fallout 4 but its on Hold.

Two terrible RPG's...Fallout 4 wasn't as bad. Inquisition is 60hrs but little do you know there is 40hrs of filler and 20hrs of actual fun.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Inquisition resolved LITERALLY all the issues of DA2; returned full party customization, brought back the tactical camera (even to consoles), refined the combat that took away end of engagement auto-heal and even limited the potion inventory, improved the skill trees and specializations, added to race options with the Quinari, no more limited and copy/pasted levels. In fact on that last point Inquisition had the most variety and largest scale of environments in the Dragon Age series and filling them with so much to explore and location and treasure discoveries to make.

I like DA better thus far.

I enjoyed both, neither were perfect but both were fun. I'd probably lean to FO4 being the slightly better game, but its close.

I like both, but I think I got farther in DA:I

Dragon Age had a great reception, much better than what Fallout 4 got.

And lol Bethesda Fallout. New Vegas for life!

Fallout 4

It's definitely a flawed game and Bethesda better get their shit together in time for the newest Elder Scrolls, but I still enjoyed it 10x more than Inquisition.

Fallout 4.

If only because of the fact that it tried to do something new and not follow trends.

No Dragon Age game ever had full party customization. No BioWare game has had that optoin since Baldur's Gate 2.

Loved both, but prefer F4.

DA I is the best one on consoles, DA O is the best on PC and Fallout is just garbage.

Is Dragon Age Inquisition considered disappointing? I thought it was a very well received game after DA2.

I quite liked it.

Sorry but Fallout 4 is not worse than Fallout 3 or Fallout Tactics, hell it's better than that overrated trash New Vegas, while it's not as good as Fallout and Fallout 2.

As for DA:i, sorry but it's no where as bad as DA2, like it's not even on the same lvl.

/end thread

Maybe we've got difference in terminology here; but with DA:I they brought back the means to equip any weapon and gear onto any party member (and made it adaptive to their aesthetic style) which was also a feature in the original game and sorely absent from DA2. Plus the means for the player to customize the skill trees for each member. Even though the class specializations for each member was pre-determined, I still feel they satisfied the criteria for party customization.

@Juub1990: interesting that fallout gets the pass, but inquisition gets knocked for having too much filler... I enjoyed both games quite a bit, but couldn't the "filler" argument also be applied to fallout with its endless samezy missions for numerous factions as being a whole ton of filler?

Even the main missions took no great leaps from the design of fallout 3.

I don't get it, do people really think Dragon Age Inquisition was that good or they just feel like shitting on Fallout 4?

When I think of full party customization. It basically means that the game gives you the tools to create the exact party you want. Merely equipping and choosing perks isnt enough. Old school RPGs tended to do this by having character creation for every party member, Pokemon does this as well, by having no limits on how many rattattas you can bring with you.

XCOM2 has full party customization for instance. And in something like Wizardry, I could create a party composed of Charizard1605, Wasdie, AdobeArtist, TheEroica, blue_hazy_basic and verbtex. Choose a race, class and personality for all of you, and equip you all with (ban)hammers. :P

They're both steaming piles.

Inquisition had a horrible ending, the final boss fight felt like a fucking joke. The entire story was overall disappointing ;however, I don't mind the changes to the combat system, they seemed alright to me except for the tactical camera, which was pretty useless and clumsy. Lastly, the game was incredibly easy, especially once you know how to make op equipment.

@TheEroica: Kind of but Dragon Age Inquisition took it a step further by having you collecting rocks and plants.

@TheEroica: To much filler or "too much to do" can be a bad thing cause it just adds mundane things.

@Juub1990: Fallout had us collecting every single thing not bolted to the floor! Lol.

@TheEroica: Oh shit that's true. I forgot how lame the whole building concept was.

I guess Inquisition wins for having a less shitty story.

I like both games, but I much prefer Inquisition. I just played back through it again over the last couple of weeks. Over 160 hours with all the DLC in the GOTY edition on the Xbone...so yeah...very good game...very good story. I still need to make an insanity run on the Xbone one of these days (I already did it on the PS4).

I hate to say it, but as much as I liked Fallout 4 when I started it. I still haven't finished the game. It just fails to hold my attention except for short bursts of playing it. Maybe one day.

@Ballroompirate: there were mundane things in both games... Both had legit wonderful things about them, and both had things I'd like to see adjusted/augmented and diminished.

We live in a Witcher3 world now though... So much of the hate f4 and Dai get are how they're stacked against what the Witcher did... And the Witcher cared for the gamer in its missions, especially side missions and attention to the care of a gamers time through the meaningful quests you ran.

I'm not done with either, have at least 50 hours in each I think. I dont feel either is overrated, but I would probably have to say I l more happy with how Inquisition turned out.

I dont have time to elaborate on this too much, except to say that as I ponder which one I should finish first I'm leaning more and more towards Dragon Age.

Dragon Age: Inquisition was complete shit of a game when I play it on PS4. Fallout 4 was the real deal.

I prefer Dragon Age: Inquisition but Fallout 4 was good for what it was.

Come on -.- Fallout 4 shits on everything there is in DA:I.

Dragon Age Inquisition was great to me, but it definitely took a long time to adjust to the combat and how their "tactical map" or whatever they called it was. The system they had in the first game was perfect imo, so this strategic map they gave us in the third installment just felt... clunky. It was hard to maneuver easily around and see what's happening. The combat itself was definitely, "click! click! click!" type stuff. I didn't enjoy the characters as much this time nor the story, but I definitely didn't feel like they were terrible. The dragon fights were awful though, it was kind of fun the first time or so, but then they just became 30 minute extravaganzas "bullet-sponge" bosses that constantly used armor, armor, armor, prolonging the fight ten-fold. The War Table missions are also kind of annoying, I didn't like having those kind of things in Assassin's Creed and I especially don't like them in my BioWare games. Overall, it was a bit disappointing, but I definitely didn't hate it or consider it a terrible RPG. I have bad tastes and all, but I enjoyed it as well as Fallout 4; which was also disappointing, but also quite enjoyable. Funny enough I still need to finish the last mission in Inquisition and the last few quests in Fallout 4. I definitely don't like how the endings are structured in Fallout, feels really limited in options compared to New Vegas, but then again Bethesda is the one making it not Obsidian.

I thought both were great. Would probably pick Fallout 4 over DAI though

Fallout 4, no contest for me.

meh, witcher had plenty of dumb collecting and bullshit mission padding. almost all the treasure hunt missions ended with you getting bullshit you dont need. it also forced you to do missions in a specific order. what fallout 4 lacked in mission storytelling it made up for in environmental storytelling which was virtually absent in Witcher 3.

F04 is decent. I hate the story being stripped away, no real communities in the game aside from the ones I make, along with most all the rpg elements being done away with. Inquisition was awesome. I prefer it by a ton.

Same here. Liking DAI ??? O_O...what the hell is wrong with you, people. I guess some people never played MMOs before.

Have you, freedom, ever played MMO. All SW is supposed to hate MMOs and suddenly so many people like DAI ??? COME OOOOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like mems said, The Witcher 3 had the same mundane crap DA3 and Fallout 4 did, as much as I love all 3 games (two of them are in my top 10 games fyi) The Witcher 3 is just as guilty but guess what we live in a gaming industry of praising whats more popular at the time. I mean hell CDPR even admitted that they wanted TW3 to be like Skyrim which in a way succeeded it, then again did worse.

The difference between Fallout 4 and TW3 is one game is gonna be remembered as thee best game of 2015 with numerous rewards while the other, people are still gonna play and mod 3 or more years from now, I mean hell people are still modding Skyrim and playing it, are people still playing/praising The Witcher 2? no not really.

Like other Fallout games, I couldn't get into Fallout 4 after 5-7 hours.

Like other Dragon Age games, Inquistion was grating and overall pretty shmeh.

I preferred Dragon Age: Inquisition.

General consensus may be that they were poor games but I enjoyed both and put a lot of hours into each of them.

I enjoyed Dragon Age a lot more.

Dragon Age Inquisition was not considered a disappointment, especially coming off something legitimately lame like DA2.

The only mundane things in TW3 were treasure hunts. DAI has you searching entire areas for dumb letters that start quests. Why everyone writes their final moments on damn notes is beyond me.

Fallout 4 is just lifeless, boring trash.

@jhonMalcovich: ye, I've played MMOs

After a pretty bad entry which was DA2 I enjoyed Inquisition much more. It still didn't reach the DA: Origins excellence but it was a good game. As for Fallout 4, I have mixed feelings. I'm still playing through it so I will reserve my judgement until I complete it. As of right now I have to side with Dragon Age title.

Inquisition was garbage. Empty open world with horrible side quests and tedious as **** combat, plus the plot sucked and had a very poor antagonist. Fallout 4 might have been a disappointing Fallout game but at least it was fun to play.
