Happy Monday little bots. Hope you all
stayed out of trouble this weekend. All I did last week was play
about 25 hours worth of the new Bioware game Dragon Age Inquisition.
I just wanted to briefly give you my thoughts, opinion, and issues
that I have thus far with the game. Note I am no where near being
done and playing on a console, I think I just got into act 2...this
is going to be Skyrim for me all over again.
If you don’t know what the game is
about well here is your synopsis:
Inquisition is the third installment of
the Dragon Age series where it finally ties in the previous two games
to give us a comprehensive story to this series. You play as a
(human,elf, dwarf,or qunari) who is a (mage,warrior, or rouge) who
attends the conclave to resolve the mage templar war/rebellion. Your
Inquisitor stumbles out of the fade after an explosion wipes out the
temple of Sacred Ashes, and he/she almost immediately falls
unconscious with a green glowing mark on there hand. Soon after
closing the main rift with your new glowing accessory the inquisition
is formed to help close all the rifts and bring back peace and order
to the world.
What I love:
This world is big, like Skyrim big.
You can spend hours in one area completing side quests to help gain
more perks for the inquisition. Every terrain is different, the
dungeons are not repetitive (cough DA2) overall very beautiful to
look at. It's also nice to encounter different types of enemy in
different maps.
There is crafting items and upgrades
allowing you to customize your inquisitor gear and your fellow
companions gear as well. The combat controls for the console works
well, the option to be tactful like a PC player is there but lets be
honest I run and bash people without a thought.
I love the fact you can have your
custom stories from the previous game imported into this game. Mind
you you have to login or create an origins account and use there
Dragon Age Keep
website to be able to do this. But if you have never played the
previous games before it is a great way to catch up on the story and
make your game more customize to you. Thus far I am loving the story
and all my inquisitors inner circle and counsel.
What I don’t like:
It seems every game released this year
has had it's share of bugs, glitches,and unplayable options. Sadly
this game is not the exception. I've encountered glitches with NPC
characters where they have sunken into the ground while talking to
them, magically fly across the screen to stand where they are suppose
to, and of course this:
While the flailing arms and mid air is
kinda funny it goes to show the games imperfections. While these
glitches amusing there is one thing that I absolutely loath and I've
so far have run into it twice. It is when your character is having a
dialog cutscene and there is a long awkward pause in the middle of
some one talking. The only fix is to skip that portion of the dialog
to have it running again. The only problem with that is now may have
missed something and now stuck with the speech text on the screen.
I am enjoying this game thus far and
highly recommend it to anyone who love playing fantasy games. Even
if you have not played the other two the Dragon Keep helps fill in
the gaps. Have a great Thanksgiving little bots. I'll see you
friday for my Thanksgiving bitch out time.
See you on the other side
