Dragon Age Inquisition

I finished The Descent. Once again it badly shows up the base game. An actual story told through cutscenes...I could almost believe I was playing an RPG and not a poorly designed MMO!

It did help that I have always liked The Deep Roads as a location, though as with the base game, it could have done with a settlement. IT would have been greatly improved if it had maybe started in Orzamaar. Also the game more than ever had a real Dark Souls vibe. Inquisition has always been inspired by Souls in terms of some of the new things they implemented, and here they went further than ever, with positive results.

The fighting remains as poor as ever, Really poorly designed and more than once I put the difficulty down to the lowest setting simply because it was tedious. As usual enemies have far too much health and too little damage.

Overall it was pretty good though. I would say not quite as good as Jaws. but still better than the main game.

I also started Trespasser and so far I have to say i'm not impressed. I'm not surprised though, as people did say it was similar to ME3's Citadel dlc and I thought that was awful. I have played about an hour of it and nothing really makes sense, it is just poorly presented fan service much like Citadel.

DA4 news? Made you look again :D

Started playing DA:I yesterday. Last time I played it was before all the DLC. Some good new game modifications now that make the experience less tedious.

Trespasser is worth it for the end run especially the final scenes I think:)

DA:I was an ambitious next chapter and I feel Andromeda will benefit from the lessons learned.. particularly allowing us to remain in one area too long making it feel like a grind. DLC is always going to be a touchy subject because it often feels like cut content rather than an expansion I hope this will also change going forward:) (wishful thinking I think though:o:p)
 
Sooo a million years after it was released i finally got round to playing it, its decent but not amazing. One thing that really irks me is the HUD, its obvious this was designed for consoles but i just prefer M+K. So with that said, can i adjust the HUD at all, i dont seem to be able to have more than 8 specials on my action bar and ive searched high and low for an answer to this but i seem to be the only one not using a controller? How do i see them all when playing with mouse? :(

I've just been playing this at last. I've hit a wall though and I really just can't muster up the energy to finish it. It really feels dull after a while.

Anyone else think it feels like a reskin of ME Andromeda?

It is the other way around - Andromeda is a reskin of Inquisition. Yeah, both games have very similar design failures. I did like story of Inquisiton more than Andromeda though, however, I enjoyed Andromeda's combat lot more than Inquisition's.

This game looked pretty on release but was crap. Dragon Age Origins was amazing though. Such a shame they got it wrong on this one.

I beg to differ, if you take away the 'Dragon Age' side of it, it's not a bad standalone game! I really enjoy it, the areas are amazingly crafted and very pretty, the writing and dialogue is equally as good. The combat is a bit meh but just play rogue assassin, much more fun and forget about your party.

Give it another shot. And don't do any side quests until you get to the garrison castle thing.
 
The loading times are disgusting like 30sconds with an SSD...
clunky weird movement too, the graphics are pretty good though I actually like them :S

the voice actors on the other hand... sound like they are in a tiny brick room but your outside in the game world... it just seems weird
