Liger Watch. Happy Holidays and Dragons!
11 years ago
Well first of all it's the holiday season and Christmas is getting ever closer. Hope everyone's enjoying the season and here's hoping Santa brings all of us all the toys we asked for. hehe. ^^ Figured I should make a Journal for the season and talk about something that's been Occupying my time recently. Dragon Age Inquisition. Now I haven't finished the game so I'll say this right now. NO SPOILERS. I don't want any and I won't be giving out any. But I figured I'd give my impression of the game thus far. So with that lets get started.
Dragon Age Inquisition.
First thing to pop to mind about this game that I feel can't be understated is it's size. Now this isn't one continuous world like Skyrim but these are still huge open maps. Put all of them together and it is at LEAST as big as Skyrim. Possibly even bigger. And this isn't just empty space either. You'll find quite a lot of side quest to do along the way. Run into lots of people. The ambient dialogue is pretty interesting most of the time and they generally feel like people.
Second is that the Characters in Inquisition feel like actual bloody people. Some you'll love. Some you'll hate. Some may even come to hate YOU if your not careful. But everyone has their own unique character and backstory that informs their actions and your interactions with them feel more realistic. They'll either approve of the stuff you do or they won't and well aside from gauging how they interact with you like real people there's no real way for you to know exactly how much they like or dislike you. There's no visible approval bar.
Now the combat is pretty fast paced and tactical as well. You have 8 Slots to assign your abilities too and that's it. This means you'll have to think tactically about what abilities to assign or if you even want to get some of them. But it is rewarding when you've come up with a mode of combat that works for you. Tip though. If you are a mage hang back away from the fray. Because as a Mage your not quite as durable. Especially with the new Health and Mana/Stamina system. Health in Inqusition doesn't regen on it's own. You have to take a potion to get it back and you can only carry so many of those at a time. But so long as your armored well and careful it shouldn't be a problem going into back to back fights especially as every time you enter one of your Camps your health will regen and your potions will restock.
Anyway all and all I just can't put into exact words how much I'm loving this game right now. This is exactly what Bioware needed to do after the Mass Effect 3 ending screw up. If this is any indication of things to come than their may be hope yet to Bioware to pull Mass Effect from the ashes. Here's hoping. But at any rate if any of you have been playing Inquisition what do you guys think of it? Also What species did you choose? Picked a Qunari Mage. ^^
