What RPG?

CliffyG · 14 Jul 2017 at 12:38

Am currently playing through Dragon Age: Origins on my Xbox (played it on PC years ago), such an awesome game with just the right level of complexity and difficulty. Am trying to think what to play next though and would like some suggestions.

I have Dragon Age: Inquisition, I was so into this game until I realised I'd out levelled a load of zones I'd never even been too yet. I still completed it but felt like I'd missed out on a load of content. Is this still the case or have some updates / patches sorted this out?

I also have the 3 Mass Effect games ready to play, remember playing one of them (1 or 2 i think, pretty sure I slept with a blue alien) years ago on my PC and found it pretty entertaining, worth starting from 1?

Have yet to play Fallout 4, it didn't review that well from what I remember, is it worth picking up for cheap now?

Any other RPG's available on the Xbox that are worth trying?

Fallout 4 - Absolutely worth picking up.

How about Diablo 3, a bit different from your usual RPG game with it also being action/hack and slash but it's worth a look.

I'll see if I can grab it for a minimal amount somewhere.

Have played a lot of Diablo 3, can't face any more of it.

The Witcher 3, no contest imo. Lots to like in there if you enjoyed dragon age.

Actual compelling fleshed out side content too. If you grab the complete edition with the 2 expansions you will be set for hours.

This! Possibly the best rpg I have played (twice). The story, side quests, visuals & gameplay are superb.

Closest thing to a game of thrones style good rpg we will see too imo

Ah forgot to say I have already played and completed that. Didn't suffer as much from over levelling as the new Dragon Age but I still think I prefer it to the Witcher.

kinger8938 · 14 Jul 2017 at 17:22

Ahh ok fair enough

Dark souls series for a different take on the genre? Or are you after dialogue choices etc?

CliffyG · 14 Jul 2017 at 17:22

From what I've read that's very combat intensive and unforgiving??

That's true, it's not for everyone for sure. But it's a very rewarding experience Compared to must other games. Not all too relaxing though

Witcher is amazing.

Combat fine once you start preparing for battles. Side missions are really fleshed out and enjoyable.

Looking to chill on the sofa with it so defo doesn't sound like one for me.

Just doing a quick investigation and it looks like there is a setting in DA: Inquisition which will stop the over levelling. Think I may finish Origins, get Fallout 4 then go for DA: Inquisition.

I couldn't get on too well with inquisition, not really sure why! Story seemed strong

You should complete the Dragon Age trilogy by playing number II. It's not terrible but it's not brilliant. Inquisition was the first Dragon Age I played and loved it so much but I hadn't a clue who the characters were, some of the places mentioned, etc. so I had to go back and do the first two. Glad I did.

CliffyG · 15 Jul 2017 at 22:11

I didn't even know there was another one!

Oh, yes. It was slated on release for dumbing down the experience for us console peasants.

Bigpig · 16 Jul 2017 at 20:48

You really should try Witcher 3.

You might spend most of your time in Inn's playing Gwent

CliffyG · 16 Jul 2017 at 21:09

I have, forgot to put in OP. Not a fan of Gwent.
