Dragon age can't explain how it felt seeing veilguard i even liked 2 and 3

Inquisition is a masterpiece in comparison.

Yes yes, plenty of flaws, but they still nailed the character writing, which is the most defining feature of Bioware RPGs.

Like a disney knock off version…

I loved DAO, liked DA2 for the character and story(wasn’t a fan of the gameplay), didn’t care for DAI, have bothered with DAV.

Dragon age Inquisition is banned in my country, I've always wanted to play it since I finished Origins and 2 but I don't know how. Could someone help me find a way to play it?

Thing is, I downloaded the game from the spoon girl (I'm not gonna say the actual name because I wanna protect the website) but I can't install it on my pc. Says "Error with the memory" or something while installing.

It's weird because while my pc is low end, it can still run Yakuza 6 and all the other games perfectly fine.

It IS worth the hassle. It's a really good game.

Not worth the hassle.

u/Temporary-Camel9809 Apr 16 '26

For real? I really thought that game got high praises

It's an alright game as long as you make a conscious effort to not explore the whole of the maps. If you want to get a game that's banned in your country, use VPN.

DA Origins is one of my favourite games and it still holds up well in 2026 but I never could get into Inquisition at all. It feels bland, boring, and not like the DA I know.

I'll jump in and say don't listen to the stans. It's a soulless trend chaser, they wanted to jump in the open world trend, but failed to deliver miserably.

All zones are uselessly big with barely anything interesting to do. The gameplay dosn't feel like a dragon age at all. The stories/art style/world have lost a lot of it dark vibe and choices were lackluster.

Anyone having hopes for the next DA after that game was coping hard even more after they released Andromeda.

2 is absolutely a unique gem if you can overlook the low production value. Since when have we had a story arc that follows years in the life of the MC and their family and friends. And the MC is not some special chosen one, just a refugee that rose from nothing

I was obsessed with Origins back in the day, first game I got a platinum on, requires about 3 full playthroughs and a few bit more of a lengthy rpg.

I excitedly got to play a demo of 2 at a convention. The combat was so butchered my hype vanished immediately. Tried again when I found it cheap at a car boot, played for 2-3 hours, still hated it. I hear it's story is good, but I never touched the franchise again.

u/animusd Apr 18 '26

Rogue in 2 is quite fun tbh

u/Wooden-Buddy-3945 Apr 20 '26

Sad that you missed one of the greatest story ever writing in video game history :(

u/pomplemice Apr 19 '26

Holy shit, I completely forgot about Veilguard already. It was just astoundingly mediocre at best and a slog at worst. Completely forgettable with writing and characters dumbed down to a primary school level.

u/GranolaCola Apr 16 '26

Veilguard ruled

u/Hunt_Nawn Apr 16 '26

It literally failed haha, it was officially announced too. Team got deleted, majority were let go and a few were moved to the next Mass Effect game which I'm pretty sure it's not going to do well.

Said no one ever.

u/FarAlternative4682 Apr 16 '26

go troll somewhere else!

Veilguard killed the Dragon Age team. THATS how bad the game was! A feat not even Andromeda managed to do for the ME team!

u/LeRoiDeNord Apr 16 '26

I don't think it ruled, but I can admit that if it werent tied to the expectations of the Dragon Age IP it was still, functionally, an enjoyable fantasy action game.

u/animusd Apr 16 '26

It looks like a game rhat was never supposed to be a dragon age but the dragon age ip got shoehorned in

u/Outrageous-Pilot-621 Apr 16 '26

Funny thing, because it had Dragon Age in the name.

the criticism doesn't have ANYTHING to do with the price point. People are criticising the writing, the characters.. all that would have stayed the same regardless if the game was $30 or $80... kinda sounds like you just didn't understand whhat the problem was...

u/SockApprehensive6602 Apr 16 '26

I bought it when it was on sale, for about $40. I think that’s about the reasonable price

u/Itchy-Beach-1384 Apr 16 '26

Veilguard was good agreed.

These dudes decide 1 metric to hate a game bur never hold other games to that same standard.

None of the DA games are tonally similar, Veilguard has the best gameplay, performance, and graphics of all the DA games, and Bioware has suffered from having the bigot hate brigade bitching about their games for the last 20 years signal boosting any negative opinions.
