Dragon Age: Inquisition

excellent jeu en tout point graphiquement et techniquement impeccable gamplay plaisant ost et doublage de qualité bonne durée de vie et scénario intéressant

Inquisition is a very strange creature where I could rant for virtually hours about all of the facets of this game I genuinely dislike with a passion, and yet when it comes to it, I still enjoyed it. There's so much to be annoyed by. 1) Typical empty open-world RPG that gives me awful Ubisoft vibes and where "our map is so big and expansive!" really just means you'll be walking for 20 minutes through empty hills. 2.) Filler quests upon filler quests. I do not want objectives like "Collect 20 deer hides" in my Dragon Age games, particularly not as almost every single side quest. 3.) Say what you will about DA2, but it had genuinely original, creative ideas, and Inquisition throws them all out of the window. No more inventive, subversive plot; we're back to the generic Chosen One fantasy storyline. No more complex and nuanced politics and grey morality; we're back to clear-cut good guys and bad guys. 4.) The companions are good, some of them I even got genuinely attached to, but unlike DA2 I can never quite forget they're just characters on rails. DA2's companions felt like complicated people, people with emotions and conflict, a real core friend group that sticks around through the plot because they care about each other and that's what you do for your friends. Inquisition's companions, by comparison, feel like co-workers who are just there to pull the plot along. The fact that you can just skip recruiting multiple companions, or tell them to leave at any time, and have the story not feel different at all is very telling. 5.) I don't care about Solas, and the game hinges on you caring about Solas. In fact, it hinges on you caring about Solas so much that the entire sequel looks to also be hinged on you caring about Solas. 6.) They sold you the real ending of the game as paid DLC. 7.) Your race/background/class changes absolutely nothing about the game except for what essentially boils down to flavour text. 8.) It's nigh impossible to roleplay in this game. You could be an evil bastard in Origins and DA2. In Inquisition, your dialogue options boil down to "Good Guy", "Good Guy who jokes around", and "Good Guy who's blunt". You have absolutely no room to play around with any other motivations or personalities. 9.) There's so much grinding. So much. Plenty of people have compared this to MMO gameplay, and I concur; you have to put off the story quests all the time to run around doing your "Collect 20 deer hides", "Close 50 rifts", "Kill 10 darkspawn" type beats to gather enough Power points to progress with the next actually interesting thing. If it wasn't for the fact that I can mod that out on replays, I likely wouldn't have been able to force myself to get through the game more than once. 10.) The war table. Not the quests themselves, mind; a lot of the quests on there should have been full-fledged cutscenes with dialogue vs. text on a screen, and were clearly just relegated there due to a lack of effort, but they weren't unenjoyable to do. However, why are there arbitrary time limits in my single-player RPG? Why do I have to wait 12 real-life hours to progress with this war table mission in my single-player RPG? 11.) The animations are... questionable. The Inquisitor's "sad" and "scared" expressions just look like they're **** on a lemon. 12.) Combat feels clunky and clumsy. It's not as tactical as Origins, not as fast-paced and sharp as DA2, just... you firing arrow after arrow at someone, or very slowly swinging around a giant sword until something dies. I find it interesting that Inquisition was generally beloved upon release vs. Mass Effect: Andromeda being widely panned, because honestly I'd put them near enough in the same category when it comes to how they feel to play and the general quality. AND YET. After all that, I still like Inquisition. A disappointing Dragon Age game is still a good game. I've replayed it several times and enjoyed it, the soundtrack is beautiful, it has some of my favourite characters in fiction (Cole, Dorian, Josephine, and though I'm not quite as invested in him I found Blackwall's story arc genuinely fascinating and refreshing), and I cared about where everyone ended up and what ending I got. Like I said, a strange creature. Seriously, though, Bioware, start putting some damn effort into your hair selections in character creation. It's not difficult to add long hair. It's not. Every other company is managing it.

Es ist sehr schwierig dieses Spiel zu bewerten, ein gutes Dragon Age ist es nicht mehr unbedingt, aber es ist auch kein schlechtes Spiel, es hat nur eine der langweiligsten und unnötig gefülltesten Open Worlds und das Gameplay fühlt sich an wie Floki aus der Serie Vikings, der Impact ist einfach nicht so spürbar.Verlasst die Hinterlade & macht nur die Gebietsquest, lasst alles andere liegen, außer wenn es ein paar Meter neben einem ist, dann einfach mitmachen und so würde ich alle Quests auf den Maps machen. Man kommt auf die meisten später nochmal für eine größere Quest oder sie geht über den Kartentisch weiter. Dann allerdings an einer Stelle, welche die Map eher erweitert. Auf jeden Fall würde ich es so empfehlen zu spielen, sonst hält es einen nur auf und man ist irgendwann total **** kleinen Tipp, der mir auch gegeben wurde: Spielt eine Elfin, dann sieht alles etwas schöner aus und ja, es stimmt! Elfen wacklen am meisten mit ihrem Popo - das bereitet einem bei diesen langen Laufwegen schon viel Freude (:

It's an average game showing it's age badly. The movement and combat is very janky and lifted right out of an MMO - tab targeting, right click to move camera, left click for basic attack and numbers for spells, you can't move while casting spells. The start is very difficult forcing you to do side quests to level up. The power system is also very MMO like and completely unnecessary, you're forced to do more side quests to get power to unlock the next mission. There is another system called influence and at 15 hours in I still don't know its purpose. Item interaction is shocking also. You have to be almost on top of a thing to interact with it, this is worse shown up when trying to collect loot after a battle. You have to run and stand over each loot pile and click on it, it's very slow to loot also and there is no autoloot. The mini map is terrible, it just shows points of interest on a black background. Might as well have arrows on the edge of the screen. The main map is difficult to read, roads aren't clearly marked and you can often find yourself at a dead end. Towns and outposts are laid out in completely bizarre ways. Like in the main hub there's no direct path to the war room, you have to run around the town to get to it. Inventory management is atrocious and takes too many clicks, you have a separate screen for weapons, armor, trinkets and upgrades for each character. Any merchant screen is also terrible, you can't see any stats of any item without hovering over the item. So if you want to sell all items below a certain level you have to hover over each item individually to check it before clicking sell. The story is bang average also. You're the chosen one for reasons yet to be determined and it's your job to save the world. Maybe this was a ground breaking game in it's time but by modern standards it's more frustrating than anything else.

Neat world. It's a shame you have to torture yourself with the God-awful gameplay to experience it.
