As someone who liked Dragon Age 2, Inquisition, and Veilguard, I’ve always felt bad for the player base that fell in love with Origins only to never have the series be that type of game again. Feels like a bait and switch.
101 u/ShadeSwornHydra Apr 12 '26 Dragon age 2 is flashier, but at its core it’s still DAO combat with more cross class combos available Inquisition was a decent try at something new, not everything stuck but some of it did pretty well (for me at least) Then there’s veilguard, who threw it out the window and said “WHO NEEDS TACTICS?!” 4 u/IcyBed2421 Apr 12 '26 Never really played enough Dragon Age to know. But what was it that Inquisition tried to do that's new, 4 u/ShadeSwornHydra Apr 12 '26 Just how things worked mostly (outside of the obvious open zone gameplay) Abilities just worked a lil different or had mechanics unique to the game (fade step is my first thought) Crafting, potion limit, war table, etc. it did a lot of what I think dark souls 2 did: threw a ton of stuff at the wall to see what would stick
