Its not that easy to keep up with what you have and don't have. Plus, you are not only putting gear and weapons on your own character- you're also doing it for your companions. There are areas and bosses that require specific types of damage like fire, ice, spirit, etc, and you have to have gear that protects you from what they dish out. There is no way to know what quality drops you can get, or how often they may happen, so you kind of don't want to part with a whole lot until you play more of the game. What I don't like is the fact that there isn't a stash you can use in your home base, so you are constantly having to do inventory management. Now for the cons: I won't complain about the glitches, because they have been very minor. I loved Mass Effect and the play-style is similar to that. Another nice thing is the characters in the story and your own character look like real people for the most part. Which brings me to another big plus: I get excited when I play this game, but it doesn't make me have anxiety attacks like other games do. It keeps you on your toes, but it doesn't make you anxiety-ridden either. Its not always apparent what monsters are stronger than you are and what aren't.
Your butt will be kicked gloriously in this game. My last session I accidentally went too far into an zone I wasn't prepared for, and well.hilarity ensued. I am chomping at the bit to keep pushing through the main story line, but I have to force myself to cool my jets and level up before I try to take on things like, say, dragons. It kind of really is like co-workers speaking to each other, because that is basically what they are. Your companions interact with each other in the background as you are questing, and some of their banter is hilarious. I mean it doesn't sound like your typical vanilla washed-out dialogue. So for the good: Most of the voice-acting in this game is superb.

I know they aren't exactly in the same genre, but if you have to pick only one game to get on your shiny new PS4 or XBone or pc, get this game.
#Playing with fire dragon age inquisition series#
A special praise for the Dragon Age Keep, which allows players to import decisions from previous games: this is a simple but neat idea, something which should be done by every series where you can import old saves to see consequences of previous choices. Companion approval level is wisely hidden from the player. Character building isn't deep, but race selection is a welcome return. Combat is on the easy/chaotic side, but at least friendly fire is not tied to difficulty setting anymore, unlike in DA2. The strategic elements of being a faction leader (planning quests through advisors, managing a stronghold, holding trials) are simplistic but entertaining.
The main city in the game is a joke though any comparison with the huge, sprawling, detailed Vizima of The Witcher 3 would be downright embarrassing for Inquisition. The world is fairly vast and sometimes large maps are used well, such as a fun treasure hunt in a desert. Exploration is back, so players can ride mounts, climb mountains, find secret locations. There are several good news in terms of gameplay. Lore is interesting, although the codex collecting it is poorly thought-out. There are nine potential party members and also three advisors who can't follow you around but still get plenty of screentime and interactions. Companions are mostly well-developed, with solid voice acting. Overall, while not as good as Origins, Inquisition is a step forward from the second chapter of the series - it feels like DA2 done right, without cutting corners. One could argue those repetitive tasks are not strictly speaking mandatory, except they kind of are: you need at least SOME grinding to gain enough "power" points, which unlock the progression of the vastly more interesting main quest. Quests are everywhere, sprouting from every conversation however, many belong to the "collect 20 wolf pelts" MMO variety.
Strongly inspired by Skyrim, Inquisition is overflowing with locations to visit and things to do. Fans rightly complained Dragon Age 2 was too short and small, so BioWare dishes out one of its biggest RPGs yet.
