    The best Dragon Age game is still Origins. They’ve had two sequels that haven’t matched the quality of the original. That’s what I would worry about. “Woke” had nothing to do with under-delivery.

      This is the reality. EA, Ubisoft they both created masterpieces in the past. And they just got worse in every release with their beloved series. The reason is mostly nothing is simple anymore. People want simplicity, not bunch of launchers with additional accounts, always online single player games, tens of DLCs that were suppose to be in the main game.

        Simplicity to access the content is important, but I’d argue just as important is they’ve tried to make the games simple and appealing to everyone, and they end up not really appealing to anyone. Make an interesting game for the people that want it. Don’t make a game no one wants.

        Aye, let’s agree to respect each other’s opinion. No matter how wrong yours might be.

        (joking of course, I actually like 2 a lot despite how clearly unfinished and rushed it was, although I really really disliked 3 except for the romances and the character interactions)

        Really what did you prefer, character, worldbuilding, level design, graphics? I’m genuinely curious. I personally loved Varic in the later games.

          Yeah I love the second one also. Liked the characters better, I like the contained story, combat was more fun I thought, Etc…

            Wasn’t it dragon age 2 where the level design got super repetitive though? It felt like they kept reusing the same exact level design in ways that didn’t really make sense.

              I’ve heard that, and it’s reasonable however I found the level design in the first one could be a little repetitive as well so I thought some of the criticism was somewhat unwarranted.
