The combat is "boring" the story "sucks" the ending "makes no sense" ect ect ect. A lot of it is just they just wanted more Rapture. i th… moreought it was great! Rapture was good and creepy underwater city but it was nice having this big cloud city! I personally loved it.
Well it does look not bad. But I've been burned by them way too many times to trust them just because the game looks good. Bioware isn't the problem though. Its EA. So long as Bioware is under EA's thumb I'm not touching it. The only way I can show companies how displeased I am with them is to vote with my wallet. Until EA changes their greedy policies I am boycotting them. The industry is only getting bigger and EA is a ever shrinking fish in a very large pond that is only getting bigger. There are plenty of companies that aren't treating their costumers like morons or cash vendors for me to care. Not to mention the indie scene is just blowing up with quality games that are clearly made with passion. Even if Inquisition is the best game ever I still wont touch it if there are on the disc locked content, terrible Origin DRM or any other scummyness attached to it. As much as I love games I refuse to let any company walk all over me and expect me to thank them for the privilege.
Besides I'm done buying into the hype. Enjoy what i have and when something good comes out than I'll look at it. Even the biggest titles that I'm dying to play (see Arkham Knights) I'm still going to wait for a reduced price. Steam sales have truly spoiled me lol.
Yeah you've hit it spot on and with the Witcher 2 & Skyrim released in the same year as DAII it was completely owned. It seems as if Bio… moreware has learned from it, the gameplay demos for Inquisition i've seen so far look amazing and battle systems seems to be more tactical based which is completely up my alley.
What they say is true though, while I agree that Infinite did have a unique setting and a pretty interesting story. The game was basically a dumbed-down version of Bioshock 1 when it came to the gameplay, plus, they took out a lot of stuff from the final product of Infinite too.

Who did y'all romance in DA1 and DA2? I'm always interested in who people choose XD
I always go with Alistair and Fenris. Fenris is my # … more1 video game romance option, next to Garrus of course. But I understand why people dislike Fenris, he is a bit psycho with his mage hate. -__-
Lol Leliana seemed like she was up for anybody TBH.
And Merrill is the dalish elf. Yeah, she came at me in one playthrough talking about being friends and how I was special to her, and I was like, Yeahh.... lets just keep on being friends blood magic elf girl.
DA1 -- I think my character romanced Leliana. It's a weird match though, my character wasn't very compassionate.
DA2 -- Had to be Isabel… morela...my Hawke treated that Dalish chick (god what's her name??) like a younger sister. I would've been weird.
Off topic, but I wish they gave me the option to punch DA2 Anders in his vagina.
In DA:O, I ran a Dual-Wielding Warrior. Surprisingly, it was a viable build in DA:O (another reason why I love that game). He was Human Noble, the origin for that one was really cool and gave him an interesting sub-quest; killing Howe and avenging his family. I think he decided to forego the throne and gave the crown to his pal Allistair. Personality wise, he was a blood-knight who enjoyed his job a bit too much. Awakening was a good piece of character development for him.
In DA2, I played male, SnarkyHawke. Once again he was a dual-wielder (this time, I was forced into Rogue He's polar opposite of my DAO character, who was very black/white in his views. Sided with the mages, because blood magic still beats genocide, in my book.
Cool, what're you playing, character-wise? I'm doing my usual female Dalish rogue in DA:O/witty male mage in DA2.
I've done the exact same runthrough a few times before, but it's become my accepted 'canon' import. :S

Well, not really. Her approval rating has to get to 'Love' for her to fully commit to the Warden, and any characters that aren't compassionate and caring all the time probably aren't going to get there unless they bombard her with gifts and completely break the approval system.
Zevran and Morrigan are much less picky about how much they actually like you. :S

Heh, dual-weapon was my favourite style too, though in DA:O I did it with a rogue rather than a warrior.
Playing a fully specced dual wielding rogue with a massive dexterity stat was godly, eventually it was possible for your character to pretty much dodge any attack coming their way about 50% of the time. Which meant they deflected arrows in mid-flight, ducked under greatsword swings, etc.
It was awesome. With a few vital mods installed, DA:O is still one of my favourite games ever.
Man, this makes me want to go back and replay...

I'm currently playing through the Diablo games. Diablo 2 was my favorite game growing up. Just completed it and its expansion pack "Lord of Destruction" and am now cutting my way through Diablo 3 (Not the same as the first two games, but I feel that it's decent in its own right).
Currently planning on playing Fallout: New Vegas again in a month or two, whenever the mod "New Vegas Bounties III" comes out. The New Vegas Bounties series are mods I would recommend to anyone who has this game and is looking to get even more awesomeness out of their journey through the Mojave.
Metal Gear Solid: it's one of my favorite series ever, and no one I know plays it!
Mass Effect: It's been a while since I played it, but playing a game you haven't played in a while is pretty fun. This is also one of my favorite series ever.
Assassins Creed: I know some people are getting tired of it, but give me awesome pakour mechanics and I'm happy. Another one of favorite series ever.
Grand Theft Auto: One of my all time favorite games are on here and that is "Grand theft Auto: San Andress" revolutionary series and one of my favorites.
Fallout: Just 3 and New Vegas, I play as a good guy and I can't live with myself if I got Dogmeat killed. I make him stay at my house in Megaten(I think I spelled the town name wrong, but who played the game know what I'm talking about) Also, one of my favorite series.
In DA:O I hooked up with Leliana. I've been meaning to go back with a female human noble and shack up with Alistair (My favorite companion of all Dragon Age) then rule over Ferelden as King and Queen.
DA2: I got with Isabela once, and maybe I tried for Merril at some point. I've only completed the game twice as far as my memory goes, and even then I can't recall much because I didn't find it to be very enjoyable. Origins ftw.

My character was actually a fairly charitable, good-hearted person but she still managed to become friends with Morrigan. I didn't really spam her with gifts, (Well, sort of.) but I think she might take to you easier as a female Warden. Certain conversations could result in massive boosts in approval.
The female character/Morrigan friendship path is actually really well done. Better than the male Warden romance arc actually, I'd say.
Morrigan? I could never get her to like me without gifts, since she hates sidequests and people who have a soul.
I kid of course (somewhat) but she's never liked me as more than a friend. Damn approval system...
In my canon playthrought my warden mage romanced Morrigan and went with her through Eluvian. It was really nice. I wonder what difference will it make in Inquisition.
Anyway, as Hawke I romanced Isabela, because why not?

Thinking about that too even though I have around 6 different Wardens/Hawkes. I have even my own disaster playthrough where I play as a psycho and kill almost everyone I can.

I've tried this, but I'm too much of a wuss to follow through with it. Desecrating the ashes and killing Leliana...being a dick to Varric...couldn't do it. I just froze up. :S
I'm very grateful Inquisition has the Keep, so I can make those kind of save games without actually having to do them. >>

Heh, same strategy here, spam strength/dexterity and swing for the fences. The only real difference was access to heavier armor and focusing on DPS instead of critical damage.
Honestly, I'd play it a lot more if not for the fucking FADE! Several hours of pure misery.... Unfortunately, I'm a console peasant, so there's no mods for skipping it.

Damn straight!
Got a couple of cheap games on the PSN store:
And:
Playing Butman: Arkham City
And The Last of Us
Both excellent games. You got good taste.
I'm about to start Arkham City.
I'm never not playing AC. I just spent about 3 hours last night doing stealth challenge maps just for the hell of it.
I know my games!
Arkham is pretty tough for me since I don't remember the controls at all right now.
Butman......:o
lol I just noticed that.
lol yeah i saw that too. i was like "huh?"
That's what we call him in our cuntry.
Cuntry....
Hahahaha! Good one
I like this guy
The only thing I've been playing recently is GTA Online. I'm getting bored of it, but I'm even more bored of everything else I have XD

I've been playing nothing but GTA 5 online lately. I'll probably keep playing until Assassins Creed comes out.
If you like destruction, JC2 is the game for you
Been playing Forza 5 recently. I'm glad it became free on the Xbox 1! (only for a limited time though)
