>when the sequels to a game are so fucking bad they retroactively ruin your memories of the original
never played a dragon agenever willmiss me with that party management shit
>>720969246play Origins, pretty sure it's better than most shit games you play daily
>>720968861The sequels were so wildly different that they exist as almost separate series in my mind with the first game being one series and the rest being something else just like mass effect.
>>720968861holy shit it actually took me a minute to remember veilguard
>>720968861>the sequels were so bad and future Bioware games that Dragon Age 2 retroactively becomes a good gameI know it's not but compared to Inquisition and Trannyguard, it's a masterpiece.
>>720968861>ignore anything that happens in 2>never played Inquisition or Veilguard>treat Origins as a one-off adventure like the OG writers intendedYou can't take my joy away from me, I will not be demoralized
>>720969476I could've never fathomed the depths the sequels would go, DA2 when compared to veilguard is unironically a masterpiece in comparison which is shocking.
>>720968861desu as bad as the purple pride stuff has gotten I think the modern industry might be more suitable for games like the original dragon age, at least compared to the late 7th and 8th gen. the idea that you need to turn a nerd property into press x to awesome dudebro shit in order to sell seems to not really be a thing anymore.

>>720968861>never touched anything bioware made after da2 and me3>can always go back to their older games and enjoy themHow the company managed to keep on coasting by based on their reputation after those two is beyond me, the writing on the wall was pretty clear.
Big game with good fighting mechanics, most of the actions can be automated. Story is still Bioware slop with romances and playersexual characters.
>>720968861da:o was a 6/10 game in a drought that elevated it to 7/10me2/da2 doubly whammy of garbage was enough to write off needing to play any further bioware games though, yeah
>>720969476At the very least I remember and like some 2's cast. I cannot remember anyone in Inquisition besides Cassandra and that annoying as fuck ugly elf chick.
>>720968861it doesn't really bother me much. i can still enjoy DA1 in a vacuum. at worst all i can say is "damn, sucks this is the only good one."
>>720973294nope, dao is one of the greatest rpgs of all time
The origin stories were the highlight of the game. I wish they had made 40 of them, and discarded the main story. Like a fantasy short story collection.
>>720973395said nobody experienced with the genre
I really liked the combat in origins where there wasn’t a bunch of buttons or a rotation. In inquisition it just wasn’t as fun idk why the game was more interactive but it just didn’t feel fun.
>>720968861who would be retarded enough to play the sequels
>>720968861You didn't even play them.
>>720973504said everybody who isn't a seething contrarian
>>720973436that's basically SWTOR, for better or worse
>>720968861DAO is a better CRPG than BG3
>want to play dao again>remember the sleep part in the mages tower
>>720973620I never tried it but I am certain there is a mod that skips that part
>>720973620i don't get what's so bad about iti actually try to do it asap to get the skill books
Dragon Age 2 was great and people were too harsh on it just for its lackluster zone reusage.
quads
>>720973806>Dragon Age 2merrill feet
>>720973806it was dogshit, all of it
>>720973806fuck you I will never forget BUTTON = AWESOME
>>720973806it's genuinely fucking terrible, if not for veilguard it'd be the worst in the serieshell it might be worse than veilguard, not that i intend to find out
>>720974637Wrong, it was a delight. The Arishok was the best character in the series, Kirkwall was a great city, and Hawke was a great protagonist.Inquisition was far inferior and Veilguard worse still, so don't even try to hypothesize on bullshit when you don't have the scope.
>>720968861Bane
>>720973806I like it but it's obviously missing way too much to be a great game. If it wasn't so rushed it could've been great. I still hold it in higher regard than Inquisition though, never bothered with Veilguard for the obvious reasons.
>>720968861I still haven't played any sequels and I did another run of DA:O last year.
They're not bad.DA Origins: 9/10DA 2: 7,25/10DA Inquisition: 8,10/10DA Veilguard: 7,84/10
>>720973806>we want call of duty's audience
>>720973608I will admit that playing with other players was interesting because people shared cutscenes and dialogue choices
>>720973806one of the most disappointing games ever for me. was hyped as fuck for da2 and got a pile of shit. never bought a bioware game again.
>>720968861I can't believe what they did to DAI hate the Antichrist
>>720968861Origins + all the DLC is kino2 is slopkinoInquisition felt like an MMO and is shitVeilguard is shit
in a way, that's a good thing because when you replay it you're pleasantly surprised that it's way better than you remembered
>>720978987need sauce
>>720975574Bruh. Everything except origins is utter dogshit.
>>720968861The first game wasn't that good either.
>>720968861dragon age 2 was my first dragon age and i loved it. to this day ive never played origins. fuck off
I never understood the love for Origins. I still remember going to gamestop to buy it and the cashier asked if I ever played Baldurs Gate and NWN and I'm like yeah, BG1 and 2 are great games, and he's like "omg you're gonna love this you'll play it for hundreds of hours."... I found it to be wholly mediocre. And Zevran completely caught me off guard, I couldn't believe they put in a raging faggot who actively hit on you. I put that faggot in the ground almost instantly. Little did I know how bad things would get in video games, holy shit, never in my wildest dreams did I think they'd get to the point of BG3. We have Origins and Mass Effect and other Bioware games to thank for that shit.
>>720969476What made 2 bad was that it was released before it was ready. If they gave the devs enough time it would have been a worthy successor to Origins. Inquisition and Failguard on the other hand were bad by design there was no fixing it.
>>720968861I can never play DA because it just makes me want to play ME instead.

>>720981820you must be so proud of yourself
