Sitting here figuring out what I wanna play. Keep coming back to Dragon Age Origins, a near perfect game. People here warned me 2 was bad and 3 was more like 2 than like 1. I should have listened and just never played them. Dragon Age 2 has like, 2 story beats I like and at no point is the gameplay ever fun. Also, fuck Hawke, he fucking sucks

3 was like playing in the void of space. My compatriots never talked to each other and barely said anything ever. Fuckin 40 hour playthru with like 12 lines of ambient crony dialogue. The levels were way too giant with way too much filler. At no point was the game ever challenging. The story failed to make me give a shit. There were some interesting characters but definitely not any of the bad guys

It's such a fuckin waste man. DAO was amazing, just so good

dragon age 2 had a great cast if you pretend anders doesnt exist
dragon age origins had the terrible circle fade part of the game
and the not great forest section
and the not great dwarf city segment

those are all the main chapters of the game and not one of them is really any good
yet somehow despite that it ended up great

Anders was the best thing about DA2 by a humongo landslide imo

Varric was great. The metrosexual elf was alright but almost all his dialogue sucked. Isabel sucked. Can't even remember the others, that's how bad they sucked

I think it's because Origins had like a 10+ year development cycle

DA2 and 3 had like what? 1-3 years?

Dragon Age Origins is so old the original build looked like this:

Looks like Neverwinter Nights

The Fade is one of the best parts of the game once you know how to play it imo.

I like all of those, because they built on the individual races and lore of the world. I never had a problem with the fade. I understand why it could be a slog, but I liked it.

I'd rather play Inky than Origins. I just miss all the cool Deep Roads stuff you could do -- those are always some of my fave RPG places to go.

That's what happens when EA gets their greedy mitts on a franchise.

Origins had that story element that the other two just couldn't touch. It felt engaging and really sucked me in. I really wish they'd remaster or remake it.

I actually prefer the more personal/smaller story of Dragon Age 2. Also felt like less standard fantasy fair

I liked Origins the best but 2 and Inquisition are still good games. A lot of the people that hate them really haven't liked any RPGs made int he last 10 years. They are stuck in the past.
