Dragon Age: Inquisition A Review By The Director Before I begin with DA:I I am going to give you my opinions of other releases in the Dragon Age series. I greatly enjoyed Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Awakening. Origins played amazingly and had an interesting and in-depth story that gripped a player to the very end. It also had a massive amount of replay value, as nearly every choice you made changed the outcome of the story in one way or another. Dragon Age Awakening is to this day still considered the best DLC of all time by many who've played it. Then came Dragon Age 2, which was highly anticipated but fell short of expectations. To me it felt like a very, very limited version of Dragon Age Awakening even though it was supposed to be a full sequel. So I was understandably trepidatious about Dragon Age: Inquisition when it was first announced. So all that said, let's get to the review! Dragon Age: Inquisition was awesome. The main storyline is interesting and intricate, offering players a plethora of choices that effect the ending of the game. Some of the choices are obvious, but others are rather subtle and easy to miss how they effect the story. The side quests range from short and sweet to long and drawn out, and some even feel like main storyline quests. The primary storyline takes about 40+ hours to complete, but trying for 100% quest completion will easily make it past the 100 hour mark. The replay value of this game is great as well, for the same reasons that Origin's was great. Multiple character species, different storylines, etc. It also has a multiplayer, and it's better than you'd think it was. The multiplayer gets a little bland, but the unlocks and such keep it entertaining. The only detractors I can think of is that you get locked into some choices that are messed up and there's no way to prevent them from happening, the storyline is a bit predictable at a certain point, and there are blatant political statements left and right. Looking past those is really easy though. Overall, I would have to say that Dragon Age: Inquisition is what I was personally expecting out of Dragon Age 2. It feels like a more 'grown up' Dragon Age: Origins. Better late than never. Rating: 9/10 Hopes for the Future: I would like to see some awesome DLC for this game. I hope they spend most of their time on DLC for the single player, but give a little bit of time to the multiplayer to keep it interesting for those who play it.
