It is, and even the worst of the tranny-core party member can be denied membership in the Inquisition. This game is an excellent piece that thankfully normalniggers forgot about, and I would argue is the best in the series. The incorporation of the Council and political elements (holding trials) seals the deal for me.
This game needs to be on GOG yesterday. There are cracks of it but I don't feel like torrenting.

>>3899241
I never knew this game even came out. I imagine it came out in some bad storefront and like every other modern game wasn't advertised at all.

DA2 was bad and so were ME2 and ME3. Why should I trust DAI?

>>3899325

I agree with you DA2 was shit. If you are looking for something to compare to origins then you are out of luck.

DAI was good but think more of an offline mmo type battle system/quests. Majority of the game was mid but there was some high points with the dragon fights that push it to about a 6.5/7 out of 10.

>>3899330
But now I have to play dao and 2 for the save import...
wonder what staff changed for this to be an improvement from 2.

>>3899350
Oh my sweaty swarthy chuddha that's nothing compared to the bloated file sizes in the top sellers list on steam.

>>3899241
The mobile-like time gated shit was cancer and the game dragged way too much. I enjoyed it at first but had to force myself to finish it. I disagree about the story. It was predictable garbage and i vividly remember the fags on the official forums predicting each of the dlcs story before they were released. Really surprised how well the game turned out after the astro turfed DA2 garbage but still, it was nowhere near as good as Origins.
>you now remember hamburger hepler

>>3899372
Not sure why you said this

>>3899241
>seamlessly go from RT 3rd person action to RTWP to tactics-like gameplay
The tactical camera in DAI is dogshit because it always has world collision determined at ground level. I like the game and have completed it multiple times on Nightmare with trials, but the way to make the combat fun is abandon the sad remnants of its CRPG roots, put companions on simple to automate roles (Tank, Archer, Support Mage), and play as a complicated DPS to make it more or less an action game. Also, Corypheus is a shit villian and the ending is only saved by Trespasser having what at the time was an awesome twist.

>>3899431
I very much enjoyed the (magic) combat on second highest diff solo, and the game sometimes assuming you brought at least someone alone while allowing you not to was funny. Could probably do Nightmare by giving up some fun in favor of overpowered shit.
Really, REALLY wish someone would figure out how to add more skill slots, but allegedly it's too hard.

Seriously...please...does anyone know where to get a Crack without tormenting? I don't want to use the EA app like a good guy. But...Josephine is my love, and I will do it for her if I must.

>>3899444
Buy the game or forget about it

>>3899434
>alone
along

Worst camera system for any rpg ever.The combat is also a weird hybrid of arpg and crpg that makes dragon age ii looks like a masterpiece.

>>3899241
Its the best DA and i'm tired of pretending its not

holy based people itt. i always loved this game. in retrospect i think AAA games peaked around 2014-2016.

>>3899334
You can use some website to set preferences and create a "fake import save" basically.
Female DA2 protagonist being a dyke and so on.
Solas best girl unironically, ffs I would not have expected that.
>Also, the conversations between some of the NPCs in your party can be hilarious (e.g: Dorian + Iron Bull).
I'd say most are great. And of all guys, the homo guy is quite amusing to conserve with (I played a female character, dunno if romanceable).

>>3899381
>The mobile-like time gated shit was cancer
non-issue, the times were short so you could just fuck around doing the convesrations or parts of missions (since you can teleport all over the world whenever you want) and the time runs even if you close the game, so if you don't want to marathon the whole thing over 3 days, the mission time cooldowns almost don't exist.

>>3899706
How about let people play how they want without arbitrary time cooldowns?
Would that be too fucking much?

>>3899741
So you would just click all the missions available and their chained followups and be done with everything for the current act, in 10 seconds of game time?

>>3899764
Maybe tie it to actual progression? Some other solution than real world hours mattering.
Why the fuck are you even trying to excuse this?

>>3899771
>excuse this
I never had issues with it, so I don't think it needs any excuse
>Maybe tie it to actual progression?
It's open world, the devs don't really know where you would go first, besides some major quests (and some of the missions on the table ARE tied to progress in main quests). You just can't make all the missions depend on that or show results immediately (since it would be yet another savescumming temptation).
Any chain-missions would be icky to solve by basing them on progress.

You would have to do some "random event" stuff like Kingmaker does it, but that's kinda mess too.

>got to live long enough for people to start praising this trash
woo wee

>>3899241
Tried to replay it a while ago. It's really shit.
The controls are bad. It runs like shit. It looks like shit. The story is shit. The dialogue is shit. Everything is soullessly lame; skills, equipment, everything.
But it's better than the second game.

>>3900166
I don't really care to defend the game as a whole, but
>looks like shit
Now that's definitely false, the environmental visuals are one of its strengths if anything.
>runs like shit
When was this "a while ago" that it ran like shit? On what potato? I don't remember if there were any optimization complaints at launch, but by now it should run fine on any hardware that's less than 10yo.
>controls are bad
Elaborate. MKB was ass at launch as I recall but fairly playable after patches.

>>3900137
because Veilguard was somehow worse.

>>3900179
I can play it and I am comically bad at action games (I can *only* play RPGs for this reason), so controls in fights can't be too bad.

Sis, I’m not a tranny on disability - I wouldn’t even pirate this shit.

>>3899241
>Combat system: seamlessly go from RT 3rd person action to RTWP to tactics-like gameplay as you please
Yeah, except without any sort of tactical element. It's MMO combat made for consolebabbies, dumbed down as much as possible.
>Exploration: feels like Skyrim/The Witcher 3 in its open world stuff
Not open world. It's a number of disconnected maps that are boring as hell and have nothing of note except some gay connect the dots puzzles. The Hinterlands might be the worst first level of any game in history, and it's where a good chunk of people drop the game.
>Lore: the setting is great
So play one of the first 2 games, they actually do something with it
>Story: fantastically paced with an intriguing *slurp slurp sluuuuuuuurp* *cough cough*


>>3899334
That's the best part, anon. You CAN'T play DA:O and DA2 for the save import, you have to just select the choices on some webpage because EA couldn't work out how to import saves between the 3 games.

>>3900166
DA2 at least has an interesting premise, and the combat was fast-paced and fun, even if it was dumbed down from the first game it still kept the tactical elements. Inquisition is just bland and boring in every way

>>3899241
DA2 was better than Inquisition, a game that couldn't even afford its own big baddie.

>>3900542
>That's the best part, anon. You CAN'T play DA:O and DA2 for the save import, you have to just select the choices on some webpage because EA couldn't work out how to import saves between the 3 games.

The more hilarious thing is that for Veilguard all that shit got WORSE. NONE of your goddam decisions matter, and they just go "everyone died" offscreen.

on a whole the game is underrated, though in hindsight trespasser is somewhat overrated when you get beyond enjoying seeing how the gang is doing after a couple years timeskip.
even if you leave aside how it set up shit only tacked in veilguard which is one of the worst games of the decade the actual council story is forced and retarded

Trying to do any kind of tactical positioning in this game is just insane and works 1/10 times. The "tactical" UI was obviously cut out of active development like a year before the game went gold and is completely broken.

>>3899241
Nope.

Im about to start my first playthrough, what should I Do as a first race playthrough?

Without spoiling too much, I'd say being an elf might make the setting and plot more impactful by a small margin.

I can't deal with the companions and it isn't a fun game to solo.
Also enemies are bullet-sponges, although there are mods for that.

Metal Gear is made by a famously gay man and virtually all of the plot points in every single Metal Gear game are at least related to gender and sexuality in some way.
And in the days when MGS2 (from your posted image) was made / released, being gay was THE singular important topic in Anglosphere political discourse. Which was directly referenced several times in that specific game as part of the premise of the entire plot. Which you would know if you played the game.
As for Dragon Age... I completely gave up on the franchise after DA2 because it was just such a fucking tepid game. So I've never played whatever Inquisition or Vanguard or whichever one that screenshot is from.
But let me just say a non-cis-het character is not new in video game history anymore, and if they didn't include at least one such character that would definitely be a political statement.

You can't have it both ways. "Politics" is not just when you see a character you aren't attracted to. That isn't how it works at all.

Stop injecting your horrible fetishes into our games.

>>3906213
Your games? But you're the one who doesn't like the content. So maybe the games aren't made for you at all?

>>3906213
A fetish is when you need a specific sexual situation that you can't find in normal life, anon. Gay people exist in real life. Your fetish is your fantasy about a universe in which they don't exist. You're the one injecting your horrible fetish where it isn't wanted. Just like your semen.

I'm not a Dragon Age fan, but I did like DA:O and DA:I's story and characters (I skipped DA2 because... dunno.)

However, their gameplay sucks for me. I played DA:O a long time ago so I don't remember much besides not finishing it, but DA:I actually almost made me cry out of boredom. I wanted to see the story to its conclusion, but the game broke me down. I just couldn't by the final mission, which required me to get those mana points you require to start main missions. It didn't help I was in the region with reanimating skeletons (I think?), so I was killing every enemy at least twice or thrice.

I would love a Dragon Age game that either does not have combat, or changes its gameplay completely.

even tho it hurts to admit, chud is right fagotanon, its corporates having the wrong idea about how to appeal to mass audiences witch they tried but we, the core audience feel attacked by such vulgar atttempts at cheap relativness. Have your character be gender whatever, at least make him believable and alive, not a caricature of something you dont even know how to portrait. Characters like the genderwhatever feel like a tokken. Dont even touch mgs in your filthy keyboard or whatever you used to type the name again, please.

>>3899241
>actually really good
It's actually turbo garbage

I remember getting bored with the checklist-style slog of activities. I never finished it and never will, especially after the release of Failguard. If, instead, Failguard had spent those ten years innovating on meaningful choice-and-consequence systems incorporating the choices of all previous games, I might have had a good reason to replay it. An rpg quadrilogy that culminates in distinct world states shaped by the previous three entries? Something genuinely worthy of praise, unlike the usual Telltale Games output.

>>3906229
>I wanted to see the story to its conclusion
I'm happy with the conclusions I already got: Warden Commander fucking off to another dimension to be with his hot witch wife and raise their child, and dashing rogue fucking off to sail around the world with his horny pirate wife. None of the characters in Inquisition are interesting enough to make me care about what happens to them.

I just platinumed this game for whatever reason and it fucking blows. The worst part is that it has no d-pad functionality. You have to use the analogue stick for everything! What were they fucking thinking?

>>3906498
>some of if not the most fuck ugly weapon and armour designs
it's funny how despite each game's general aesthetic and costume design being quite different from each other in all of them 90% of your armour options look like complete shit

>>3905656
just saw this reply, I don't know who you're shadowboxing but you should probably go reply to them instead of me. No clue what your post is on about at all

I reinstalled that turd few days ago because of this thread.
I forgot how horrendous the companions were. Sera, Dorian, Cole, Iron Bull, Solas, Vivienne. It's not DAI, it's DEI. Brown gay retardation : the Team. Only Blackwall, Cassandra and Varric are tolerable.
Also, impossible the create a character that doesn't look like shit. Whoever decided to give the same haircuts for male and female, and that half of those needs to be balding buzzcuts, is a fucking tranny I swear.
And everything looks like sweaty plastic. Your hair, skin, clothes, armor, the walls around you : all made from the same material, sweaty plastic.
Only good things about this game is playing Knight Enchanter and hunting dragons. That's it. Everything else is shit.
Uninstalled it

I'm tempted to pirate Veilguard to witness that catastrophe because apparently it's even worse than DAI.

Cisquisition isn't horrible, it's just such a disappointment after the peak that was DA:O. This game had more dev time and budget and was worse than DA:O in basically every way, but particularly with the story, worldbuilding, dialogue, roleplay potential, etc.

>>3914690
See, I feel the opposite because after DA2 they had nowhere to go but up.

>>3899241
it was ok. The biggest problem with it is the character SUCK. outside of Bull & Varric, the "allies" are LITERALLY FORGETTABLE (Cole), boring for most of the game (Blackwall + Solas), or annoying beyond belief ( Sera, and Vivienne ). Leaving Dorian and Cassandra dancing the line of good or mildly bland.

Nah, the companions are pretty memorable. And I say that as a waifufag, but I will give it to Solas and firstmost to Blackwall, the dialogue writing and most of all voice acting managed to make ME like the male characters. Very vanilla, no-gimmicks, older male characters - fucking Blackwall, how does he do it?

I kneel.
