Believe it or not my favourite thing about this game was the feeling of political influence and power it get you. People called the side content busy work, but I found it engaging, the alliances you secure, all the things you do at the war table and even the mines you mark down. No game since has given me the same feeling of earned influence.
Exactly what a got from the game. I love games that gives you the feeling like you're having some sort of impact. I especially love this in Assassin's creed 3 homestead.
@@yungwells6549 a game that imo gives you this feeling is Owlcat's pathfinder:kingmaker. There are some design decision that are questionable, and it is based off pathfinder 1st edition which is a complicated system, but its a crpg(like baldurs gate or dragon age origins) that really lets you feel like you're growing from a small 1 town barony to an entire kingdom, while not being a strategy game but a party based rpg that with a wartable like mechanic similar to DA inquisition. Their 2nd game pathfinder:wrath of the righteous adds in a simple heroes of might and magic like combat for unit v unit army battles separate from the party rpg system. I am a big fan of both these games for rpgs that also feel like you're leading a kingdom but are not directly strategy games like totalwar, starcraft or crusader kings.
@joselouis7407 I never finished the game, I got the last mission and stopped playing it because I didn't want to pay for game pass. I also didn't want to finish the game without the dlc because I heard the story continues in it I've since bought it on pc the game of the year edition for 5 dollars with all of the dlc included, I plan to go back and try to play with my new character this summer after I install mods on it that is. Although after dumping 200 hours into baldur's gate 2 I'm not sure how I'll feel after going back to inquisition with how empty the world can be, though....I did love exploring and finding random quests that had to do with old elevn artifacts and searching through the ruins.
Nope, looks garbage but hey my opinion. I tried it to play it since I was intrigued but couldn’t even play for 15 secs before I quit and delete the game….
Played it for the first time this year, the graphics look amazing and the dragons are so damn beautiful! Repeated DA2 a couple of days ago, I wouldn't choose any other franchise over this.
I still have Inquisition in my top 10 games ever. Maybe top 5 too. I aknowledge the character dialouge was weaker than previous games, and the characters too in a few ways. But holy shit the story and plot and just figuring out the truths to the world and Solas and the Titans building up to this huge world event. It's peak bioware
@@wwe12153 the seemingly endless dialogue and the fetch quest that require you to run across the whole map just to deliver or get something. Plus the "basic" combat. There is not much variety is what I'm trying to say.
@@omen3789 I can agree on combat thing since it becomes pretty boring after a while. But I never considered long conversations to be a bad thing. The Witcher 3 is my favorite game every so I am used to it
I’m actually about 25 hours into a new playthrough of DA:I right now and am astonished about how much this game gets *right* ! The inventory and party management system is elegant, logical and intuitive. The story, voice acting, companions and dialogue are memorable and motivating. Combat, while not earth-shattering, is respectable, engaging and occasionally challenging. Graphics and art style are amazing! Geographic regions and maps are stellar. Hell, even most of the minor side quests tie nicely into the narrative flow/momentum of the overall story and power curve of your character. It’s always been a 9/10 game for me - my recent return to it only reinforces that opinion…if anything, it’s aged remarkably well!
I'm playing through currently. I agree with most of what you said. But the inventory system needs a full overhaul. It's unnecessarily tedious and way too much work. Normally, I love changing gear often, but it makes it too much of a job. Don't get me started on crafting. You can't check your current armor specs while crafting. You have to exit crafting and open the inventory, then go back into crafting. Then you have to do this for every character. It wasn't well thought out. Great game tho, I only have minor issues tbh. Like how dark they make the background while tinting armor. I can't tell half the time bc it's too dark, then it in the world it's a completely different color. If they can make some quality of life improvements for dread wolf, it' could be perfect.
My biggest gripe is the gameplay and that's only because I wanted a more crpg experience. It was admittedly decent at what it did and I did enjoy it enough to put in a few hundred hours I think
I prefer an action-precision based Combat. It doesn’t have to be perfect but can’t be an auto attack based combat. Kinda ruins the immersion. what would have been 9/10 story, gameplay brings it down to 6/10
I loved DAO and completed it multiple times in Nightmare difficulty. Even loved DA2. However I couldn’t get into this one. The combat was not challenging but what turned me off were the countless hours of just walking and grinding generic quests just to stack numbers
Me too. I loved Dao and awakening. I loved the DA 2 same . While DaO and awakening was simply next level , DA 2 had that unique feeling of being a duo of brother and sister in a chaotic world.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone say something positive about DA2 before. The entire game consists of slogging through the same exact two caves over and over again. Every battle is just a stream of basic enemies spawning in and charging. The story is pretty decent, but that's the only positive aspect.
I’m replaying the game right now and I can’t stop being enchanted by the animation! Not necessarily the cutscenes, mine you, prior DA games do much better since they have more dynamic camera movement, but the animations of the characters while you’re playing them is amazing- like the walking and running animation is good, but the way they lean to the side with their hand out when walking along a steep slope, or lift their knees higher when going up steep hills. Hell, I’m playing a two handed warrior and the way he braces his great sword against his knee is so cool to me. Idk it’s such a small think but it makes gameplay so pleasing to look at, especially for a decade old game.
"Actual dev time" as in not script writing, or sketching. Frostbite 3, the engine DAI runs on was only released in Late 2013, the game was ported and went through Alpha & Beta within 12 months! What the Bioware dev team pulled off with a new combat system, the tactical menu and an expansive world on the previous game was a phenominal feat.
You don't have to auto attack, you can just mash the button manually, and it is in fact better to do so as you go much faster than the auto attack does so have far superior DPS that way
I just want to say in this game YOU DO NOT have to do any side quest and you'll be completely fine. There are many fetch quest that amount to good lore but not much to the present conflict at hand. Once you get inquisition level 6 you can get power for coin and skip doing side quest from that point on. Almost all the side quest are just lore material. If you just wanna play the game casually I'd say do your Companion and Main Missions and for challenges fight the High Dragons in each region. None of the side quest outside that impact the story the way they do in mass effect. Also DO NOT neglect your companions lol actually talk to them for your sake.
Personally i have a special place in my heart for DAI. This is one of the game that i have a lot of fun playing. The music is amazing. And to me the best thing about DAI is the crafting system. I wish more game use the same crafting system as in this game. The only game that use the system is GreedFall. Please don't let it die.
Cutscenes are capped at 30fps thats why they feel different than smooth gameplay, they can be made to 60fps, but in DLC you may get infinite loading screen with elluvium gates.
Love this game and the whole DA series! (Fingers crossed for Dreadwolf making an appearance at the Game Awards) But I didn’t know Inquisition had a rushed dev cycle.
It was one of my favorite games that year. Good world building, good story, decent writing, great companions, combat is good enough etc. Just a bit too... Ubisoft-ish in some respects. I kind of liked the combat system where you auto attack and have spells to deploy. Controlling the entire party etc. Good stuff. And they do a very good job of giving the feeling of building up an organization. But yeah, the horses are slow for same reason in Skyrim, one, I'm not sure the engine and hardware of the time could stream it sufficiently, and two, you'd realize how small the world actually is. There's actually a decent amount of great side content in the game. Just tons more fetch quests and crap like that.
Dragon Age Inquisition is to this day my favorite game. It definitely has its issues, namely its combat and some of the side quests, but the world building, story, and the characters made this game so good to me. At this point this game is so nostalgic and comforting to me. I still go back every so often to start a new playthrough. I only worry about the next game considering the issues at Bioware currently.
Hot take; but Dragon Age Inquisition is my favorite of the series. The customization, the story, the grand scale, romance, and the post dlc. I had a great time playing game through atleast 10 times
after a few mods i can verify that, "skip war table wait time" and "More fade rift power X10" carried the entire game. I can only imagine playing without mods and having to wait hours and hours to keep playing through the story
Idk if someone said this already, but the reason why the cutscenes don't run as smooth as the game is because the cutscenes are capped at 30 FPS no matter what. When modders tried to uncap it, it apparently makes the timing on all the animations just wrong. Now you know! :)
I've beat Inquisition at least 4 times and I think its worst quality is that it's impossible to know how to pace yourself on a first playthrough. Once you know which content to skip you can create a path that's actually... good. The mandatory story moments are mostly great, but so much of the side content was pointless busywork.
Inquisition is easily one of the best in the series and some of the best characters in the series. Environments, story and gameplay were pretty great. Easily better then 2 (not a hard bar to pass) and is on par with origins easily. Wahh fetch quests: no like? Die i guess 🤷 Wahh story: not everything is written like Dune or SOIAF. Die i guess 🤷
@@50mattman true, but as I said, it was just because it was a weak year overall. One year earlier it would have been demolished by GTA V and Last of Us, one year later it would have been demolished by Witcher 3 and Bloodborne.
Thanks for doing this,had a great time watching your video. I played this for countless hours and when it was finished i restarted again,absolutely amazing game.
I loved it when it came out, I really enjoyed the fact that you had to make political decisions and I liked the different class options and specializations, also I was blown away by the graphics and particle effects at the time.
One thing that I found Origins did better is failure. In Origins, if you are outnumbered / outmatched, you WILL eventually die, and had better head elsewhere. In inquisition, its viable to simply run away until your teammates auto-revive and then wack the rest of the baddies. So you end up beating the encounter, but not feeling like you beat it :(
Also, let's be honest, a large aspect of this and other Dragon Age games is the relationships system and who are you going to bang. The correct answer is Cassandra, anything else is wrong.
That’s definitely the one I’ve done every time I’ve gotten that far, but I do still want to play through some others. My Qunari Warrior definitely wants to ride the Bull at some point, and I do want to see how things work with Solas, Cullen, and Josephine.
I started a new playthrough the other day, a Qunari mage, this time I WILL get past the Hinterlands. It's a mark of shame that I've owned this since release but really never got far.
It definitely gets better if you spend as little time as possible in the Hinterlands in the beginning. Just do the bare minimum to grind up your power and you should be good. Once the game gets going it’s pretty easy to snowball your power.
Dragon Age Inquisition is an amazing game. It won various game of the years awards and was actually received extremely well at launch. Essentially making a big step back towards Origin compared to DA:2. It got crapped on retroactively and mostly unfairly. Sure there's a few warts but still fewer warts than even the best Bethesda game ever. I honestly think the characters, story, dialogues, and quests in this game are potentially the best of any game ever. Dorian has to be my favorite companion character out of any game too. Most of the little nitpicks you had were the genre itself. Like Auto attack, it's because it's a DA game and since Origin that's how it works. Essentially DA:I is the combat system of Origin made to look and feel sort of like an Action RPG but it isn't. I honestly think it's a fantastic system and the crafting and gearing system in this game is basically second to none (well beyond even Origins). Honestly there's so much about this game that is far better than other excellent RPGs like the Witcher 3, and even in some areas better than Dragon Age Origins. I really don't think you can say the Witcher 3 is a "better" RPG... these are both essentially more bounded open world RPGs... but really the sub-genres split drastically from there. The Witcher 3 is intended to be a fully Action RPG with DA:I being like all of them, the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate (the originals) meaning a pseudo-turn based combat system. Even from there they diverge even more where the Witcher 3 is a static singular hero RPG (great tangents into secondary characters of course, but still you're Geralt). While Dragon age again harkens back to the CRPGs like DA:O and it's influencer Baldur's Gate being a create your own character more D&D style and then companion driven RPG. To me companion driven RPGs are simply my favorite ones, period. So as good as the Witcher 3 is DA:I is indeed quite a bit better to me. They are apples and oranges in a lot of ways like that though for those reasons. I think the mainstream audience liked action RPGs that were more simply based around a static single hero at the time. FOrtunately with the rise of CRGPs recently that has shifted, especially with BG3. Where DA:I mostly faulters is a bit of quality issues... Not too much really, even at launch it had fewer launch issues than most games that launch. Honestly BG3 especially with Act III was far more buggy than DA:I at launch IMHO. The biggest mistake of DA:I was the filler fetch quests. Not the notes that you find. Those are classic CRPG things and good things. They encourage you exploring the world etc. Though the ones to go do X things etc. Very MMO style. Honestly the game doesn't need them and you CAN ignore pretty much all of them. There are actually TONS of excellent quality side quests in Dragon Age. Some are simply outstanding in fact... they really just needed to delete the MMO style quests which weren't really needed in the first place and once you know that you just ignore them and move on and it's not really an issue.
The combat in Inquisition is not better, only the animations are, and the fact that its more hands on (yet loses to Dragon Age 2 in that regard). Origins, despite some glaring issues, like an RNG hit system (that make the attack animations seem goofy), still has better combat; better multicharacter character control, better strategizing, better combat diversity and diversity of scenarios. All of which practically don't exist in DAI, perhaps due to engine limitations. The Dragon Age Inquisition story however, has no excuse for being so bad. The antagonist is an ancient magister that has control of the blight. What are his goals? Nothing concrete. Then there's the matter of the Inquisition. How in tarnation is any of this supposed to make sense? The Inquisition would essentially be characterized as a religious extremist terrorist cell and attacked by various armies if this had taken place in Dragon Age Origins, and it would have been a much more believable reaction than everyone just patiently holding back and looking, while you go fucking exploring the Hinterlands. So this Inquisition picks up a complete stranger that has the magical ability to close the rifts, and decides to make them leader of the Inquisition? This bum they know nothing about, potentially from a culture hostile to their own... And even worse, they take this leader, the only one with the capability to close rifts, to fight on the front lines, not even after extensively scouting it out, no, they become the expeditiary force too. Nothing about this scenario makes fucking sense. Its shite world-building built on a foundation of possibly the worst chosen-one story trope ever conceived. It feels like the only part of Dragon Age Inquisition that counts is the DLC. You get an actual villain with clear goals you have to discover and eventually fight, interesting plot twists and a secret enemy. THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DLC, It should have been the main story. Corypheus was a lame distraction that too much time was spent on in order to excuse the extremely bland open world sections. If the only open-world segment had been the flooded village, this would have been great and not felt bloated, because there was an actual story being told there. But even the game treats its own content as disposable with their power score system, so this actually good open world segment, is completely missable/skipable. So a person might have only experienced all the worst parts of DAI.
@@Yodalemos Origins has god awful combat. I actually cannot fathom that people like you exist. I like Origins but the combat is not it's strong suit and Inquisition is objectively better in terms of combat.
I don't think DAI has unfavor criticism. Even the creators have come out saying they were pushed into cutting down on story content and beefing up filler content because story cost too much. Most long time Bioware fans did not like DAI at the time. It's just that the game going in a more generic direction appeased non Bioware fans and the general gaming community who had a much larger voice. Now that the general public moved on the long time fans have a bigger percentage of the voice being heard.
@@FeliPeltier 😭 Man, I dropped it after finishing the mission where you get trapped in the dream. It was such a long sequence that it discouraged me from continuing, lmao. That part was so boring that I don't think I'll ever do a ng+ But I will finish Origins for completion though!
I was recently on BioWare games kick. Replayed all Dragon Age games back to back, and then all Mass Effect games. Never really understood the hate this game got, because it really was a solid game, hopefully Dreadwolf will be even better.
played this on console just bought the special edition or whatever it is on steam for less than £7 cant wait to play again that scene with cassandra laying the law to that priest ( we will restore order with or without your consent!) Always that scene alone drags me into this game for long term playthrough! Modern cinema! THAT IS HOW A STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER THAT WE CAN GET BEHIND SHOULD BE!
I started playing it this year and it’s actually amazing. I’ve never played any Dragon Age game, or really and game like it, and I bought it years ago not knowing what it was. But it’s really really good. I haven’t finished it yet but I love it sm and want to do multiple play throughs
Highly recommend to play two previous games as well. The thrilogy has quite The Cameos that strike right in your heart if you play the games chronologically. Also your actions reflect how the next games' worlds look like. It is such a heartwarming touch! The second and the third games even mention your previous protagonists. In some cases you can hear something about your previous protagonists (playing as a next game protagonist) from their love interests! This is mindblowing! For example, Leliana is your companion in the first game, and Inquisitor's spymaster, as you already know. I was so happy to see her in DA:I, I can not express it!
If only this game was made not on the downfall time of BioWare, when EA forcing devs to use that Frostbite engine on every game and influence too much on the development process of those game.
The cutscenes in this game are locked at 30FPS so if you have anything resembling a decent PC, or even a mid to low range PC by 2023 standards, the difference between regular gameplay and cutscenes is shocking.
It's funny that you say "Old games" because this was the last functional game Bioware released before going full live servicy. Edit: Forgot about Andromeda, sorry, DA:I was the 2nd last game.
I personally recommend just doing the companion quests (including recruiting them obviously), war table stuff that doesn't include traveling and story quests, plus killing the 12 or 14 dragons. Any of the other stuff imo doesn't really affect the story in any way and it's forgettable. The only side quests I enjoyed were the one where you fight the avvar guy and using the shards to open the doors in the forbidden oasis
I played this as a warrior tank. So fun to charge at them, build your wall up so they can't really 'hurt' you. But definitely the harder route to go, as your AI party members will never be able to do burst damage the way you can on a sick rogue build, or mage for that matter. Can't believe this game is that old. It still holds up well graphics-wise. I'm getting a bit nostalgic. I couldn't crank that game up to ULTRA MAX everything, but I think the 4070 I now have will be up to the task! lol
We absolutely need more info about Dreadwolf to drop. We have had very short clips since it has been announced and apparently we have only now had it confirmed that the full reveal will be in summer next year.
FYI chat: DAI runs on Frostbite 3, Frostbite 3 was released in Q4 2013, DAI released to public November 2014. The game went through Alpha and Beta inside 12months. DAI was GOTY because that Bioware dev team poured their souls into Inquisition
It’s unfortunate that the leaders saw that and believed it would work every time. A good game generally needs more than 1 year in the programming and development cycle.
@@magnusprime962 oh I wholeheartedly agree, Anthem and the state of Mass Effect are examples of how they thought that development plan would work. DAI was only as good as it was because the devs really went hammer and tong at it. Now though, they’ve had a solid decade to make something that will hopefully be really special.
I played this game about 1 or 2 months before the Witcher 3 came out, and then dropped it like a hot stone to play The Witcher. So, I never finished this game. I liked it when I played it, but TW3 was a masterpiece. I always meant to go back and finish the game though, but now it's been so long, I don't remember the story. I was kind of hoping there would be enough here to remind me, so I could pick it up again. But, most of the story was skipped over here, so no such luck lol.
The thing is the story actually starts after a while of playing. It took me 11h to reach skyhold and it felt like I only played through the prologue lmao. Up to this point it's not much explanation story wise, more like world building and getting introduced to the gameplay, character, companions etc.
@@omen3789 I definitely made it beyond the beginning of the game. If I had to guess, I would guess I was about half way through. I remember the war map, and needing to travel to different regions for some objective when I left off, though I don't remember why. I only remember bits and pieces of the game, not enough to make any sense of it now. It's okay though, I'll either have to try to continue and hope it comes back to me, watch a lets play or cutscene video, or just start over again, though restarting would be a last resort.
@@nunyobiznez875 I would recommend starting a new playthrough and doing different quests on the fly. Maybe there is stuff you've missed on your first save. It took me 5 attempts to finally complete the game. Each time with a different class but I settled down for mage. The beginning of each playthrough was boring af but after that I actually enjoyed it. There is a lot of quests you can just skip and won't impact the outcome. Also there are many lore videos for the DA series. I'd recommend watching them and catch up to the end of DA2 and then start a new game. Watching any DAI videos could spoil you the story. But I can fully understand not doing this. It's just my opinion.
How would they keep the tactial mode when it is confirmed the new dragonage is going full action combat? When God of War is being referenced I think it is fair to assume tactical modes aren't exactly their goal :p
I don't understand the unwavering love for the Witcher 3, I tried it, was completely bored and frustrated by how movement felt and gave up, tried it again and dropped it again. at least inquisition was actually fun to play.
@K.C-2049 agreed, I found the characters I did get to interact with rather interesting and I'd of loved to see more of how the story progressed but the gameplay itself is a massive barrier to enjoyment. plus it also seemed very clear to me that like two thirds of the game is just "Ciri is in this next town over" and, working through what felt like a glorified fetch quest given how bad the gameplay feels felt like way more of a chore than I was willing to partake in. I always find it rather strange how whenever people lay praise on the witcher 3 it is always focused on the story telling but, people will completely glance over the gameplay mechanics, I have never played a more frustratingly clunky game, which kinda sucks cause like I said, I did like the few characters I did actually interact with but just couldn't be bothered to suffer through to the next cutscene or story moment.
Origins is a crpg but not inquisition, it was made to appeal to a wider range of audience. It worked but if Baldur's gate 3 is anything to go by then dragon age lost it's identity with origins
Who's here after the Veilguard trailers? They really changed the whole aesthetic to be more cartoonish to appeal to a young audience, didn't they? Just feels so shitty seeing so many beloved franchises going the way of Disneyfication. Who's ready for Mass Effect cartoonish spinoff with quippy dialogue?
The Gameplay Trailer looks good, but that reveal Trailer was awful, they should have just released the Gameplay trailer. Would have saved some unnecessary hate.
i just watched your character class starter guide video 😂. Thanks for the help so far with the game, just bought it, at last, and i hope to enjoy it like i enjoyed The Division 2, or TLOU2, or something like that haha
Dragon Age is a way better series than The Witcher, which is itself a 10/10 I've never felt like my choices made such a difference in any game. Things that felt irrelevant in Origins become meaningful in Inquisition and that's just absolutely bonkers. There are so many branches on the story tree, it's such a massive undertaking from a game developer
Solas’s story is one of the best of all time IMO. I truly hope DA:D can pull a solid story out, I’ll be willing to overlook a lot if the narrative is tight.
I finished DA Originis 8 times, DA2 3 times but Inquisition... after 20 hours I simply couldn't take the boredom anymore. I really wanted to like it but I didn't find anything interesting. Glab dat somehow some people love it, wish i would :/
Unfortunately, the game is locked to 30 FPS in cutscenes. This was the very first thing I changed when I started the game. You just gotta go into the files and change a number, there's a bunch of tutorials out there.
Inquisition side quest is total A*s, it's generic fetch quest. The npcs we talked to on side quest are also boring and have limited dialogue. This is my main gripe of the game.
I'm replaying it too and damn... what a fool I was when I was a kid... rushing the content... just found out the josie final romance scene and daaaaamn FKN JAW DROPPING FOR REAL

@@wwe12153 the seemingly endless dialogue and the fetch quest that require you to run across the whole map just to deliver or get something. Plus the "basic" combat. There is not much variety is what I'm trying to say.
@@omen3789 I can agree on combat thing since it becomes pretty boring after a while. But I never considered long conversations to be a bad thing. The Witcher 3 is my favorite game every so I am used to it
I’m actually about 25 hours into a new playthrough of DA:I right now and am astonished about how much this game gets *right* ! The inventory and party management system is elegant, logical and intuitive. The story, voice acting, companions and dialogue are memorable and motivating. Combat, while not earth-shattering, is respectable, engaging and occasionally challenging. Graphics and art style are amazing! Geographic regions and maps are stellar. Hell, even most of the minor side quests tie nicely into the narrative flow/momentum of the overall story and power curve of your character.
It’s always been a 9/10 game for me - my recent return to it only reinforces that opinion…if anything, it’s aged remarkably well!
I'm playing through currently. I agree with most of what you said. But the inventory system needs a full overhaul. It's unnecessarily tedious and way too much work. Normally, I love changing gear often, but it makes it too much of a job. Don't get me started on crafting. You can't check your current armor specs while crafting. You have to exit crafting and open the inventory, then go back into crafting. Then you have to do this for every character. It wasn't well thought out. Great game tho, I only have minor issues tbh. Like how dark they make the background while tinting armor. I can't tell half the time bc it's too dark, then it in the world it's a completely different color. If they can make some quality of life improvements for dread wolf, it' could be perfect.
My biggest gripe is the gameplay and that's only because I wanted a more crpg experience. It was admittedly decent at what it did and I did enjoy it enough to put in a few hundred hours I think
Wow, I couldn't have disagreed with you more on practically every aspect you praised it for...
I prefer an action-precision based Combat. It doesn’t have to be perfect but can’t be an auto attack based combat. Kinda ruins the immersion. what would have been 9/10 story, gameplay brings it down to 6/10
The party banter was my favorite thing in the game. I liked how the characters really cared about each other when the Trespasser DLC came out.
I loved DAO and completed it multiple times in Nightmare difficulty. Even loved DA2. However I couldn’t get into this one. The combat was not challenging but what turned me off were the countless hours of just walking and grinding generic quests just to stack numbers
Absolutely, I couldn't agree more.
I completely agree, that being said why do I have 250 hours in this game 💀
True, most of the side quests are just meh..
Me too. I loved Dao and awakening. I loved the DA 2 same . While DaO and awakening was simply next level , DA 2 had that unique feeling of being a duo of brother and sister in a chaotic world.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone say something positive about DA2 before. The entire game consists of slogging through the same exact two caves over and over again. Every battle is just a stream of basic enemies spawning in and charging. The story is pretty decent, but that's the only positive aspect.
I’m replaying the game right now and I can’t stop being enchanted by the animation! Not necessarily the cutscenes, mine you, prior DA games do much better since they have more dynamic camera movement, but the animations of the characters while you’re playing them is amazing- like the walking and running animation is good, but the way they lean to the side with their hand out when walking along a steep slope, or lift their knees higher when going up steep hills. Hell, I’m playing a two handed warrior and the way he braces his great sword against his knee is so cool to me. Idk it’s such a small think but it makes gameplay so pleasing to look at, especially for a decade old game.
Why not? Absolute ripper of a game. Re-played it back in 2021. Loved every second.
Great video.
Trash game
Dunno where you heard that DAI only had a year of dev time in it, that was Dragon Age 2.
"Actual dev time" as in not script writing, or sketching.
Frostbite 3, the engine DAI runs on was only released in Late 2013, the game was ported and went through Alpha & Beta within 12 months!
What the Bioware dev team pulled off with a new combat system, the tactical menu and an expansive world on the previous game was a phenominal feat.
3/4 of team went to help anthem same with mass effect the last one
Its free from epic as Vault Mystery Game of 16 May 2024 .

You don't have to auto attack, you can just mash the button manually, and it is in fact better to do so as you go much faster than the auto attack does so have far superior DPS that way
That's not true 😂
Was my first DA and I still think it’s my fav
I just want to say in this game YOU DO NOT have to do any side quest and you'll be completely fine. There are many fetch quest that amount to good lore but not much to the present conflict at hand. Once you get inquisition level 6 you can get power for coin and skip doing side quest from that point on. Almost all the side quest are just lore material. If you just wanna play the game casually I'd say do your Companion and Main Missions and for challenges fight the High Dragons in each region. None of the side quest outside that impact the story the way they do in mass effect. Also DO NOT neglect your companions lol actually talk to them for your sake.
Or do 2-3 side quests per area....or google the important side quests.
An extremely polished good game buried underneath a billion hours of tedium
can you elaborate?
@@cosmicrevenant7103 70% of the game is packed with inconsequential side quests that are:

This game has such an special place in my heart
Personally i have a special place in my heart for DAI. This is one of the game that i have a lot of fun playing. The music is amazing. And to me the best thing about DAI is the crafting system. I wish more game use the same crafting system as in this game. The only game that use the system is GreedFall. Please don't let it die.
Cutscenes are capped at 30fps thats why they feel different than smooth gameplay, they can be made to 60fps, but in DLC you may get infinite loading screen with elluvium gates.
yes by adding this line -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+
The fact I've played this so much I have a majority of the dialogue memorized...
"The Tactical mode is something that's still unique to this game"
Every CRPG ever: 👁👄👁
Love this game and the whole DA series! (Fingers crossed for Dreadwolf making an appearance at the Game Awards) But I didn’t know Inquisition had a rushed dev cycle.
Steam page says "reveal" next summer
For now there's just a teaser and some screenshots from the teaser
@@ChristmasLore I saw, can’t wait finally learn more about DA:D!
This game was amazing I remember having a stag as a horse with horns was pretty cool . Excited for the new game 😊
It was one of my favorite games that year. Good world building, good story, decent writing, great companions, combat is good enough etc. Just a bit too... Ubisoft-ish in some respects. I kind of liked the combat system where you auto attack and have spells to deploy. Controlling the entire party etc. Good stuff. And they do a very good job of giving the feeling of building up an organization. But yeah, the horses are slow for same reason in Skyrim, one, I'm not sure the engine and hardware of the time could stream it sufficiently, and two, you'd realize how small the world actually is. There's actually a decent amount of great side content in the game. Just tons more fetch quests and crap like that.
Want to feel old. This game came out ten years ago. And I have over 1200 hours in this game.
This is one of those games that every time i see a video on it i end up reinstalling
Dragon Age Inquisition is to this day my favorite game. It definitely has its issues, namely its combat and some of the side quests, but the world building, story, and the characters made this game so good to me. At this point this game is so nostalgic and comforting to me. I still go back every so often to start a new playthrough. I only worry about the next game considering the issues at Bioware currently.
I’m sorry to hear that
Hot take; but Dragon Age Inquisition is my favorite of the series. The customization, the story, the grand scale, romance, and the post dlc. I had a great time playing game through atleast 10 times
after a few mods i can verify that, "skip war table wait time" and "More fade rift power X10" carried the entire game. I can only imagine playing without mods and having to wait hours and hours to keep playing through the story
Idk if someone said this already, but the reason why the cutscenes don't run as smooth as the game is because the cutscenes are capped at 30 FPS no matter what. When modders tried to uncap it, it apparently makes the timing on all the animations just wrong. Now you know! :)
I've beat Inquisition at least 4 times and I think its worst quality is that it's impossible to know how to pace yourself on a first playthrough.
Once you know which content to skip you can create a path that's actually... good. The mandatory story moments are mostly great, but so much of the side content was pointless busywork.
Inquisition is easily one of the best in the series and some of the best characters in the series. Environments, story and gameplay were pretty great. Easily better then 2 (not a hard bar to pass) and is on par with origins easily.
Wahh fetch quests: no like? Die i guess 🤷
Wahh story: not everything is written like Dune or SOIAF. Die i guess 🤷
Played the trilogy a lot as a kid can't get back into it. Completely single player games but most mechanics are like an MMO.
I kid you not i bought this game like 2 days ago and now i feel the need to install it
It rightfully won GOTY in 2014! Amazing game!
It won GOTY 2014 because it hardly had competition. Just look back at what games were released that year, it was a pretty weak year.
@@radicalcentrist4990 doesn't change the fact that it rightfully won it that year.
@@50mattman true, but as I said, it was just because it was a weak year overall. One year earlier it would have been demolished by GTA V and Last of Us, one year later it would have been demolished by Witcher 3 and Bloodborne.

@@radicalcentrist4990 That doesnt mean it wasnt an amazing game
Thanks for doing this,had a great time watching your video. I played this for countless hours and when it was finished i restarted again,absolutely amazing game.
Crazy back then we didnt know the next game was gonna be 10+ yrs later
I loved it when it came out, I really enjoyed the fact that you had to make political decisions and I liked the different class options and specializations, also I was blown away by the graphics and particle effects at the time.
I remember liking the story, but the gameplay felt basic when compared to a lot of others
Yeah, you need to research about good builds inorder to have enjoyable gameplay
One thing that I found Origins did better is failure. In Origins, if you are outnumbered / outmatched, you WILL eventually die, and had better head elsewhere. In inquisition, its viable to simply run away until your teammates auto-revive and then wack the rest of the baddies. So you end up beating the encounter, but not feeling like you beat it :(
The most overpowered class in this is mage subclass knight enchanter you can solo anything
That’s how I beat it on the insane difficulty or whatever it is called. I love these types of games but I suck at them.
Also, let's be honest, a large aspect of this and other Dragon Age games is the relationships system and who are you going to bang. The correct answer is Cassandra, anything else is wrong.
That’s definitely the one I’ve done every time I’ve gotten that far, but I do still want to play through some others. My Qunari Warrior definitely wants to ride the Bull at some point, and I do want to see how things work with Solas, Cullen, and Josephine.
I started a new playthrough the other day, a Qunari mage, this time I WILL get past the Hinterlands. It's a mark of shame that I've owned this since release but really never got far.
It definitely gets better if you spend as little time as possible in the Hinterlands in the beginning. Just do the bare minimum to grind up your power and you should be good. Once the game gets going it’s pretty easy to snowball your power.
Doesn’t have anything on Origins but fun enough in its own right. The base game was a bore but the DLCs were great.
Dragon Age Inquisition is an amazing game. It won various game of the years awards and was actually received extremely well at launch. Essentially making a big step back towards Origin compared to DA:2. It got crapped on retroactively and mostly unfairly. Sure there's a few warts but still fewer warts than even the best Bethesda game ever.
I honestly think the characters, story, dialogues, and quests in this game are potentially the best of any game ever. Dorian has to be my favorite companion character out of any game too.
Most of the little nitpicks you had were the genre itself. Like Auto attack, it's because it's a DA game and since Origin that's how it works. Essentially DA:I is the combat system of Origin made to look and feel sort of like an Action RPG but it isn't. I honestly think it's a fantastic system and the crafting and gearing system in this game is basically second to none (well beyond even Origins). Honestly there's so much about this game that is far better than other excellent RPGs like the Witcher 3, and even in some areas better than Dragon Age Origins.
I really don't think you can say the Witcher 3 is a "better" RPG... these are both essentially more bounded open world RPGs... but really the sub-genres split drastically from there. The Witcher 3 is intended to be a fully Action RPG with DA:I being like all of them, the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate (the originals) meaning a pseudo-turn based combat system. Even from there they diverge even more where the Witcher 3 is a static singular hero RPG (great tangents into secondary characters of course, but still you're Geralt). While Dragon age again harkens back to the CRPGs like DA:O and it's influencer Baldur's Gate being a create your own character more D&D style and then companion driven RPG.
To me companion driven RPGs are simply my favorite ones, period. So as good as the Witcher 3 is DA:I is indeed quite a bit better to me. They are apples and oranges in a lot of ways like that though for those reasons. I think the mainstream audience liked action RPGs that were more simply based around a static single hero at the time. FOrtunately with the rise of CRGPs recently that has shifted, especially with BG3.
Where DA:I mostly faulters is a bit of quality issues... Not too much really, even at launch it had fewer launch issues than most games that launch. Honestly BG3 especially with Act III was far more buggy than DA:I at launch IMHO. The biggest mistake of DA:I was the filler fetch quests. Not the notes that you find. Those are classic CRPG things and good things. They encourage you exploring the world etc. Though the ones to go do X things etc. Very MMO style. Honestly the game doesn't need them and you CAN ignore pretty much all of them. There are actually TONS of excellent quality side quests in Dragon Age. Some are simply outstanding in fact... they really just needed to delete the MMO style quests which weren't really needed in the first place and once you know that you just ignore them and move on and it's not really an issue.
The combat in Inquisition is not better, only the animations are, and the fact that its more hands on (yet loses to Dragon Age 2 in that regard). Origins, despite some glaring issues, like an RNG hit system (that make the attack animations seem goofy), still has better combat; better multicharacter character control, better strategizing, better combat diversity and diversity of scenarios. All of which practically don't exist in DAI, perhaps due to engine limitations.
The Dragon Age Inquisition story however, has no excuse for being so bad. The antagonist is an ancient magister that has control of the blight. What are his goals? Nothing concrete. Then there's the matter of the Inquisition. How in tarnation is any of this supposed to make sense? The Inquisition would essentially be characterized as a religious extremist terrorist cell and attacked by various armies if this had taken place in Dragon Age Origins, and it would have been a much more believable reaction than everyone just patiently holding back and looking, while you go fucking exploring the Hinterlands.
So this Inquisition picks up a complete stranger that has the magical ability to close the rifts, and decides to make them leader of the Inquisition? This bum they know nothing about, potentially from a culture hostile to their own... And even worse, they take this leader, the only one with the capability to close rifts, to fight on the front lines, not even after extensively scouting it out, no, they become the expeditiary force too. Nothing about this scenario makes fucking sense. Its shite world-building built on a foundation of possibly the worst chosen-one story trope ever conceived.
It feels like the only part of Dragon Age Inquisition that counts is the DLC. You get an actual villain with clear goals you have to discover and eventually fight, interesting plot twists and a secret enemy. THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DLC, It should have been the main story. Corypheus was a lame distraction that too much time was spent on in order to excuse the extremely bland open world sections. If the only open-world segment had been the flooded village, this would have been great and not felt bloated, because there was an actual story being told there. But even the game treats its own content as disposable with their power score system, so this actually good open world segment, is completely missable/skipable. So a person might have only experienced all the worst parts of DAI.
@@Yodalemos Origins has god awful combat. I actually cannot fathom that people like you exist. I like Origins but the combat is not it's strong suit and Inquisition is objectively better in terms of combat.
@@theobell2002 No. You just like action over strategy and that's fine.
I don't think DAI has unfavor criticism. Even the creators have come out saying they were pushed into cutting down on story content and beefing up filler content because story cost too much. Most long time Bioware fans did not like DAI at the time. It's just that the game going in a more generic direction appeased non Bioware fans and the general gaming community who had a much larger voice. Now that the general public moved on the long time fans have a bigger percentage of the voice being heard.
I’m a long-time fan and I enjoy Inquisition quite a lot. We’re not a monolith.

Modern cinema! THAT IS HOW A STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER THAT WE CAN GET BEHIND SHOULD BE!
The rpg mechanics in dragon age are better than witcher 3.
cutscenes are by default locked to 30 FPS, that's why they don't run smooth, but there is a launch command to fix that on PC

Is the combat similar?
@@BigR62Far better.
@@Vynne96-jg7er I’m excited to try it once I finally upgrade to next gen
i could watch you play this whole game and not get bored, side quests included.
I just love the look of these "older" rpg-s, they are more stylized, not going for the full realistic look. Hence, the graphics age slower
My biggest gripe with this game is the combat. It just feels so mindless to me.
I started playing it this year and it’s actually amazing. I’ve never played any Dragon Age game, or really and game like it, and I bought it years ago not knowing what it was. But it’s really really good. I haven’t finished it yet but I love it sm and want to do multiple play throughs
Highly recommend to play two previous games as well.
The thrilogy has quite The Cameos that strike right in your heart if you play the games chronologically. Also your actions reflect how the next games' worlds look like. It is such a heartwarming touch!
The second and the third games even mention your previous protagonists. In some cases you can hear something about your previous protagonists (playing as a next game protagonist) from their love interests! This is mindblowing! For example, Leliana is your companion in the first game, and Inquisitor's spymaster, as you already know. I was so happy to see her in DA:I, I can not express it!
2014?! I just started this again yesterday and I could swear it was released in 2017. Holy fucking shit I’m old
i thought you might be thinking cause of tresspasser but googling that it was 2015... I feel old now too
If only this game was made not on the downfall time of BioWare, when EA forcing devs to use that Frostbite engine on every game and influence too much on the development process of those game.
The cutscenes in this game are locked at 30FPS so if you have anything resembling a decent PC, or even a mid to low range PC by 2023 standards, the difference between regular gameplay and cutscenes is shocking.
It's funny that you say "Old games" because this was the last functional game Bioware released before going full live servicy.
Edit: Forgot about Andromeda, sorry, DA:I was the 2nd last game.
Andromeda was not functional
@@daniell5740 I deleted the space so Andromeda does not go under "Show more"
Fighting the dragons when this came out really made you feel like you were a badass
So good
I really hated playing this game 😂
Same
I personally recommend just doing the companion quests (including recruiting them obviously), war table stuff that doesn't include traveling and story quests, plus killing the 12 or 14 dragons. Any of the other stuff imo doesn't really affect the story in any way and it's forgettable.
The only side quests I enjoyed were the one where you fight the avvar guy and using the shards to open the doors in the forbidden oasis
The game is much better with controller tbh if anyone wants to play it for the first time
I played this as a warrior tank. So fun to charge at them, build your wall up so they can't really 'hurt' you. But definitely the harder route to go, as your AI party members will never be able to do burst damage the way you can on a sick rogue build, or mage for that matter.
Can't believe this game is that old. It still holds up well graphics-wise. I'm getting a bit nostalgic. I couldn't crank that game up to ULTRA MAX everything, but I think the 4070 I now have will be up to the task! lol
I genuinely love this game but the criticisms are fair too
We absolutely need more info about Dreadwolf to drop. We have had very short clips since it has been announced and apparently we have only now had it confirmed that the full reveal will be in summer next year.
FYI chat:
DAI runs on Frostbite 3,
Frostbite 3 was released in Q4 2013,
DAI released to public November 2014.
The game went through Alpha and Beta inside 12months.
DAI was GOTY because that Bioware dev team poured their souls into Inquisition
It’s unfortunate that the leaders saw that and believed it would work every time. A good game generally needs more than 1 year in the programming and development cycle.
@@magnusprime962 oh I wholeheartedly agree, Anthem and the state of Mass Effect are examples of how they thought that development plan would work.
DAI was only as good as it was because the devs really went hammer and tong at it.
Now though, they’ve had a solid decade to make something that will hopefully be really special.
I've loved dragon age for years and I still love inquisition since you have more impact in the game if you play a mage which is what I do
Inquisition is a good game overall and a decent rpg. I will die on this hill
I played this game about 1 or 2 months before the Witcher 3 came out, and then dropped it like a hot stone to play The Witcher. So, I never finished this game. I liked it when I played it, but TW3 was a masterpiece. I always meant to go back and finish the game though, but now it's been so long, I don't remember the story. I was kind of hoping there would be enough here to remind me, so I could pick it up again. But, most of the story was skipped over here, so no such luck lol.
The thing is the story actually starts after a while of playing. It took me 11h to reach skyhold and it felt like I only played through the prologue lmao. Up to this point it's not much explanation story wise, more like world building and getting introduced to the gameplay, character, companions etc.
@@omen3789 I definitely made it beyond the beginning of the game. If I had to guess, I would guess I was about half way through. I remember the war map, and needing to travel to different regions for some objective when I left off, though I don't remember why. I only remember bits and pieces of the game, not enough to make any sense of it now. It's okay though, I'll either have to try to continue and hope it comes back to me, watch a lets play or cutscene video, or just start over again, though restarting would be a last resort.
@@nunyobiznez875 I would recommend starting a new playthrough and doing different quests on the fly. Maybe there is stuff you've missed on your first save. It took me 5 attempts to finally complete the game. Each time with a different class but I settled down for mage. The beginning of each playthrough was boring af but after that I actually enjoyed it. There is a lot of quests you can just skip and won't impact the outcome.
Also there are many lore videos for the DA series. I'd recommend watching them and catch up to the end of DA2 and then start a new game. Watching any DAI videos could spoil you the story. But I can fully understand not doing this. It's just my opinion.
How would they keep the tactial mode when it is confirmed the new dragonage is going full action combat?
When God of War is being referenced I think it is fair to assume tactical modes aren't exactly their goal :p
I don't understand the unwavering love for the Witcher 3, I tried it, was completely bored and frustrated by how movement felt and gave up, tried it again and dropped it again.
at least inquisition was actually fun to play.
@K.C-2049 this x10, combat in the witcher 3 feels floaty and terrible and I regret buying it on console where return policies are absolutely awful.
@K.C-2049 agreed, I found the characters I did get to interact with rather interesting and I'd of loved to see more of how the story progressed but the gameplay itself is a massive barrier to enjoyment.
plus it also seemed very clear to me that like two thirds of the game is just "Ciri is in this next town over" and, working through what felt like a glorified fetch quest given how bad the gameplay feels felt like way more of a chore than I was willing to partake in.
I always find it rather strange how whenever people lay praise on the witcher 3 it is always focused on the story telling but, people will completely glance over the gameplay mechanics, I have never played a more frustratingly clunky game, which kinda sucks cause like I said, I did like the few characters I did actually interact with but just couldn't be bothered to suffer through to the next cutscene or story moment.
This was my first crpg. I was completely amazed by the game and then the genre
This is not a cRPG
Origins is a crpg but not inquisition, it was made to appeal to a wider range of audience. It worked but if Baldur's gate 3 is anything to go by then dragon age lost it's identity with origins
@@angryvaultguy Origins is not a CRPG either.
oh man this video made me miss this game, it still looks good to this day (shiny humans aside) kinda considering starting a new gameplay now😌
Baldurs gate took me out of BioWare replays😂
To me Baldur's Gate *is* a BioWare replay. I know you meant Baldur's Gate 3, but I felt like being pedantic.
Who's here after the Veilguard trailers? They really changed the whole aesthetic to be more cartoonish to appeal to a young audience, didn't they?
Just feels so shitty seeing so many beloved franchises going the way of Disneyfication. Who's ready for Mass Effect cartoonish spinoff with quippy dialogue?
I’m still going to play it, I’ve waited 10 long years.
The Gameplay Trailer looks good, but that reveal Trailer was awful, they should have just released the Gameplay trailer. Would have saved some unnecessary hate.
The Witcher 3 is great but boy did the combat and player movement not age well. I hope the mod kit coming for it changes things
Best game ever ever EVER. No one can change my mind.
i just watched your character class starter guide video 😂. Thanks for the help so far with the game, just bought it, at last, and i hope to enjoy it like i enjoyed The Division 2, or TLOU2, or something like that haha
OH YES TIME TO GET BACK INTO SOLAVELLAN HELL!
Dorian walked so Astarion could run. Or, Dorian sauntered so Astarion could saunter even harder.
Dragon Age is a way better series than The Witcher, which is itself a 10/10
I've never felt like my choices made such a difference in any game. Things that felt irrelevant in Origins become meaningful in Inquisition and that's just absolutely bonkers. There are so many branches on the story tree, it's such a massive undertaking from a game developer
I’ve never understood why people bash the Witcher and praise DA or praise DA and bash the Witcher. Like seriously, these two games are GOAT’d!
Solas’s story is one of the best of all time IMO. I truly hope DA:D can pull a solid story out, I’ll be willing to overlook a lot if the narrative is tight.
I finished DA Originis 8 times, DA2 3 times but Inquisition... after 20 hours I simply couldn't take the boredom anymore. I really wanted to like it but I didn't find anything interesting. Glab dat somehow some people love it, wish i would :/
I remember really enjoying it. I still have yet to play the dlc.
The dlcs are good
the DLCs are even better, especially Trespasser which is basically an elaborate epilogue
Unfortunately, the game is locked to 30 FPS in cutscenes. This was the very first thing I changed when I started the game. You just gotta go into the files and change a number, there's a bunch of tutorials out there.
About the slow cutscenes, those are limited to 30 fps if I remember correctly. You can change that by using a command line argument in the launcher.
