Things pop in and pop out at random
One time my Inquistor started spurting blood out of their throat for no reason in the middle of a conversation.
Cassandra's romance won't advance even though I did all her shit and never broke up.
Sound keeps dropping or being delayed
Game keeps freezing up and just when I thought it crashed it goes back to normal.
Objects aren't held properly and teleport/float around the room during cutscenes
I was completely naked in the warroom at one time for no reason.

I swear it wasn't this buggy when it was new, what happened?

I've played through multiple times on several consoles (WHY WHY), but never encountered some of these issues. The freezing weirdness and pop-in nonsense, though, definitely. The entrance to Val Royeaux has a lot of statues that have the latter problem, IIRC.

Because it;s a good game?

Way better than DA2

Would be a great game if they toned down the MMO style quests and fed them back into the game world better.

I'm not saying it's a bad game -- it's my fave DA, in fact, mostly on the strength of the combat and characters. Playing through on PS3 just wasn't a very good option, haha.

I hated Origins' combat -- it single-handedly brought down the experience. The rest is pretty decent, though, except going into the Fade.

It was on console, yeah. I don't see many mods making me like it over Inquisition's, though.

PS: Zevran sucks

I truly want to like DA3.
I love DAO, can forgive DA2's glaring flaws, but despite starting 5 playthroughs always quit DA3. The MMO like structure and the way the game looks just put me off.
And I don't mean that in a "Damn SJW Bioware" sense, I quite like the designs. I can't accurately describe it, but it's just this plastic, shiny look that everything has.
It's the same for Sekiro, Bloodborne and the like. I desperately want to love these games and I do like the designs, but something always looks "off"

Its not even mods that make the PC version. You cant pull the camera back into the strategic view on the console, you are locked into the close in view.

On the PC it plays like baldurs gate

If you say so

I find it so boring simply because there is so much of it.

It's an MMO style of fighting in a single player game, I don't get it.

I love the game DESPITE the combat

Iron Bull: Oh, taarsidath-an halsaam? Closest translation would be, "I will bring myself sexual pleasure later, while thinking about this with great respect."

Been a while so I only remember bits and pieces. According to my trophies I made it to Here Lies The Abyss.
I started that playthrough after asking people here try and sell me on doing it. I did and got further in and my attention wandered to other games like the previous 4 playthroughs.

I love Dragon Age: Origins, and it has great combat on PC. After I finish one or two more playthroughs on nightmare, will I enjoy Inquisition? I tried 2, but it felt like such a massive downgrade in every way. How's the combat in 3? And is the writing closer to 2 or Origins?

I can only give you my opinion and opinion is split on 3.

The only consensus is that I think it is safe to say the vast majority agree that 2 is the weakest.

IMO 3 is great. The writing is "closer" to Origins. However that's a more complicated question because the gameplay is different.

Origins and two are pretty linear. The areas might be quite large but the are ultimately just large corridors.

3 is closer to open world. There's about 10 or so different "areas" which are all huge and you run around them jumping around like a sandbox game.

This has it's advantages and disadvantages. You have a lot more freedom and there are a TON of side-quests. However this sidequests and combat feel like an MMO. Lots of "Kill the enemies here, collect these for me, travel back and forth across the map, gather 10 Ore samples" style quest.

Also the combat is more similar to that of an MMO too IMO, lots of pointless groups of enemies, lots of overpowered attacks that have long cooldowns, and now the health potions system is different in that you only have 8 (later 12) but they replenish every time you go to a campsite. So you're never caught sort.

The combat is broken as fuck. A lot of focus in put on gear so if you craft your own you are immensely OP and some builds are just insanely powerful. My mage can one shot a ton of enemy groups in a single spell before they know what hit them.

Not that Origins didn't have that, but it's sidequests were generally more fleshed out. Dragon Age 3 is like if Origins was 10 times as big and had 200 more chantry board sidequests.

As a result there are less towns to explore and the gameplay and story don't really bleed into each other as well.

The characters are great, Bioware's strength is characters. And the main plot is good.

I highly reccomend it

As annoying as I find Sera (I still think Sebastian is the worst character due to being boring and bland) at least she is a character.

I get what they were going for with her at least. Someone who points out to the hero and to the player that there is a whole world out there and that every important in these stories is just fucking over the little guy uncaringly.

Reminding us how insane all the stuff we take for granted actually is and how massacring everyone we see makes people think about us.

That's actually a cool idea and if she wasn't so annoying I'd love it.

Well right off the bat he isn't in your party for Act 1. The longest of the 3 acts

And when he does join your party he has less dialogue than everyone else. And has a very bland personality.

Considering you had to pay for him, that's pretty inexcusable.

But you did remind me of the absolute fucking travesty that is Anders in 2.


I liked Anders

You get an emotional man who hates the system and put a spirit that only understands absolutes inside his head

Then take him to a shitty city and both treat him like crap and make him watch others be treated worse for 7 years while he has nightmares every night and kills people every day.

of course he ends up going insane...
