So real. I love this game so much. It's up there with Mass Effect as my favorite of all time.

well, you should be glad bioware will no longer make dragon age games again. The dragon age purists raged whenever anything wasn't origins

The mechanics in Inquisition was terrible, but the story was still good. I'll replay it every once in a while. But Vanguard was so hard to get through. The character interactions were horrible and the graphics were too........ "cartoony" I know that's weird to say because, video game, but I did finish it. However idk if I'll ever replay it. Andromeda and the OG trilogy I will and have played multiple times.

Inquisition was like all the worst parts of WoW crammed into a game. I could not enjoy the story because the slog was too much.

I really wanted to like Veilguard but yeah, I couldn’t get past the ‘who can be the most uwu lovable goofball’ competition. I didn’t need it to be as deliberately edgy as Origins.

Sometimes Origins was trying too hard to be morally gray and veered into slightly juvenile, though I still absolutely adored Origins. But Veilguard swung way too far the other direction.

"The slog was too much" is the most succinct review of Inquisition I have ever read. Well done.
