Just finished it, really enjoyed it. People who didn't play Inquisition though might be a little confused at certain scenes (it takes place after Inquisition and it's extended DLC)
Not bad, but too fast paced with some pretty flat characters and the lore will be difficult to follow for those who haven't played the Dragon Age games. Solid voice acting though and I'm quite surprised that Matt Mercer didn't voice the magister as he looks just like him! 5/10
So many writers nowadays don't know what makes a character likeable. Man was Miri obnoxious. The rest of the bunch was cool tho. Liked the Dwarf and the Qunari mage.
My problem is how quickly the characters change there mind PERSON A nope no way I'm doing this PERSON B come on just do it PERSON A ok you have convinced me let's do this
Whoever decided to make Qwydion a tall thin supermodel looking, silly-girl voiced, comic relief character should be fired immediately. I'm a huge fan of the game series (especially Origins), and her character did not fit with established lore for Qunari mages at all.
Would love for Bioware to release a Dragon Age Trilogy Legendary Edition like Mass Effect but better. They should use the opportunity to remaster the 3 games. Dragon Age 2 especially. Bioware could finally finish the game that was rushed during their 11th month production time. Such as giving more locations for all the quests rather than reusing the same caves, coasts, and cellars. Dragon Age 2 tackled class warfare and prejudice, and had the potential to be a masterful prelude into Dragon Age: Inquisition. Would love to see the fully realized Dragon Age In addition, Dragon Age 2 deserves its own subtitle like Origins and Inquisition ... Dragon Age: Civil War. As for Dragon Age: Inquisition, make the Hero of Fereldan and Hawke party members who join. Would’ve been cool to see the Inquisitor learn from the experiences of the past two protagonists.
@Squall Or the scene, where she sits in the tavern and has all the mission-critical documents on the table! This is supposed to be a SECRET mission and the last thing someone should do is to have this things in the open, when you're supposed to be a SLAVE and ANYONE can do what they want with you.

Dragon Age as a whole or just this show? The series is one of BioWare’s flagship franchises with books, games, comics and movies. this show in particular just came out.
Maybe a 5, the main character was just a selfish womna who used emotional black mail on her friends to save her girlfriend, the villian literally wanted to bring her brother back to life although he was a shitty person he had a better purpose than her and infact there is proof it actually would have worked if the brother didn't like being dead so much and also being convinced by his selfish sister to remain dead
what? did you not watch the show? the villains main point was to bring both the dead brother AND the main character back to be SLAVES???? did you just skip past that? he wanted them together as a "family" but also as property. nothing about the main character was selfish.
IGN see it as The Ring of Power 2.0. The main story is about psychopaths, serial killers, and theives. The only reason they're heroes because they're LGBT. The villain crime happened to be a straight male who killed one person. His main supprdinate crime was the concern the safety of others.
Just finished it, gotta say 4/10. Just another «modern» and «inclusive» series without substance or character development. It does have a few redeeming qualities, but all in all it’s a waste of time.
What do you consider substance and character development? The MC, MV, and even the dwarf side character all go through an arc. Each are markedly different people by the end of this show. You could say it was bad sure, but you say it has none is just incorrect
The first Dragon Age (origins) was a genuine dark fantasy piece, kinda like Berserk. Everything that came after has this generic woke aesthtic that is pretty mediocre/boring. Including this animated series.
Would it really be hard for them to start in the deep road's maybe one of the characters is in the carta waiting for the deal to do down but they hear screaming it's the darksorn and the carta run spilt up most of them die but the main just so happens to run into a gray warden that's time has come.. but before he dies he will help this carta member to the surface with a message to tell yhe others wardens that the darks one are more organised then expected
Dragon Age needs a legendary edition like Mass Effect. Or just a straight up Remake of Origins & 2. Origins cuz it's still great but the Gameplay is out dated and boring af and 2 needs a Remake cuz it's just bad.
@@JacesSanctum Well at the end it looks like they are moving in a totally different location then the one of the game, it looks like it sets up a second season. If that doesn't happen it will require a little work to make that story continue in the game as it's set in a completely different place. Like, they might be forced to make something in that place happen off screen and then make the characters from Absolution appear in Dreadwolf after they visited that other place, if it makes sense.

Yes
Only Origins tho.
I’d love that.
man i’d be done for that or a full remake ala ff7
The problem I’ve heard is the engine Origins/2 are on would require a full remake on a new engine to match Legendary Edition’s upgrades

matches my own score for the show. Well 7.5 for me, due to Quydion being best girl! (seriously, on the sweetness scale, she's up there with Keyleth!)

7 is the only number they are allowed to press, other numbers require special permission from the upper management
