no and the SJW bla bla bla is so cringy in this that you cant ignore it

The SJW shit is not that bad, but the game feels like a singleplayer MMO most of the time.

There's actually barely any SJW shit aside from 2-3 characters. It's mostly just a shit game.

SJW stuff wasn't shoved in your face really. My biggest gripe against that in the game is the fact that all your party members are "goofy" "quirky" looking that is "SO DIVERSE!" none of the female romances are classically beautiful like Morrrigan or Leliana were. Even the advisor girl who is supposed to be the more stereotypically pretty one is pretty ugly with a big nose.

The actual game is a 8/10. Story parts are pretty cool along with decent writings. It's filled with grindy MMO type side quests and world "markings" that make it pretty awful to go through.

It's alright for a few hours then it's literally spamming the same abilities over and over while completing MMO type quests to level up for the main story. Poor man's Witcher 3.

No
And unless you just can't stand having gay characters it's not very objectionable

The story is actually pretty decent but the gameplay and the way it links up to the story is horrible. You basically have big open world maps and then separate story zones. You have to grind up "power" in the open maps or somesuch shit to unlock more story.

Combat is quite bad, it just feels weightless I guess and most sidequests are ubisoft tier map cleaning tasks.

It was okay to play at launch because it came out before all of the kickstarter rpgs and stuff like Witcher 3; so there was a real drought of rpgs but now I can't recommend it.

In the shitty MMO way, or Kingdoms of Amalur way?

>classically beautiful
>Leliana
>in anything other than her one cinematic trailer
Shit taste

>none of the female romances are classically beautiful like Morrrigan or Leliana were
Males were also pretty ugly, expect for Cullen, and it's probably because has been a character since DA1 so they couldn't fuck him up. I'm still mad that they made Sera both the ugliest and the dumbest romance option. She literally has no redeeming qualities.

What's the difference?

if you loved dragon age its for you. If you didnt its an single player mmo-rpg that looks purty. 8/10

Someone post the window kick Webm

>make characters
>choose beard
>looks like a misplaced glued on plastic fake beard

And that kind of sets the tone for the rest of the game.

I have no idea, but my sister says that she prefers Origin's story, but enjoys the feel of Inquisition better. Whatever that means. I personally played Origins, but only watched my sister play Inquisition in snippets. In my opinion it looks kind of drab.
Also, every character in the game looks really oily, like they haven't bathed in days.

it's OK

Like everyone else in this thread says the gay SJW thing isn't shoved to your face, you don't even have to take those party members with you if you don't want to.

I didn't take the gay ugly ass elf bitch because she is annoying as hell and I kicked out the emo dude.

The best character in the game is gay tho and he is very well written and just says it in a side phrase if you actually talk to him The tevinter mage forgot his name

Far shittier unfortunately. They even added garrissons like in WoW.

Game was boring as shit, the combat especially gets old within hours which is bad because it's pretty much 70 percent of the game. The SJW shit was just pandering, Bioware knew no one wanted to play the game so they pretended to give a shit about minorities to try and get them to play it.

Didn't work.

It's amalur with even limper combat desu

...

pretty mediocre
very consolized despite feeling like an mmo
boring 'ancient evil awakens' plot

Even if you ignore every line of dialog (its bad).
The combat barely fucking works and feels like dogshit, the "tactical camera" is a disgrace and the person who made it should be flogged.
The controls are shit and it runs like shit too.
Don't believe the lies

but amalur had amazing combat?

No fucking way, did it actually win GOTY?

There was a mod that changed her looks ingame to match the trailer. And her voice was absolutely phenomenal

How did you even miscontrue that

But even compared to amalur inquisition is garbage. I dont get the praise bioware receives, everything is mindnumbingly bland

It pretty much had to. They couldn't let Bayonetta get any screen time beyond the nomination, they even let that boring-ass Shadow of Mordor game win action game of the year.

Bad but better than 2 if that's any consolation.

>mod
this is a denuvo game user, there is no modding
or maybe they dropped denuvo later on ?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_Awards


Game awards are a joke. Everything is bought. Plus, its keighly, what do you expect

It's a 7/10.

But shadow of mordor was pretty good ignoring the ending. A better assassin's creed than assassin's creed.

Shadow of Mordor getting awards was nothing. Destiny and FC4 was outrageous

I was talking about Leliana from the first game

>better than 2

I'd find that debatable. 2 was pretty goddamn terrible looking, had copy/paste maps everywhere and the most pointless choices ever. But at least it was only like 20-ish hours of hell. Inquisition is at least twice that, most of it spent doing the same handful of fetch quests, closing green portals with the same goddamn enemies every time, and finding shiny spots on the ground.

Shitty combat and shitty MMO-tier/FarCry-collect-a-thon side quests. Cringy and lazily written characters.

Just get Divinity Original Sin and play that instead.

i'm sorry user
have a treat

Combat and enemy variety are bad. Some of the characters are awful.
War table missions are a joke. Everyone plays with their clock to cheat them.
You can no longer customize AI, like previous games. And it is very missed because your party is seriously dumb.
Probably less than 10 main story quests, that you have to unlock by getting points from filler content.

For some reason I still liked it.

Just replay Origins, you can get all the DLC and the Awakening expansion for under $15 now.

By today's standards of SJW faggotry, this game is Sup Forums tier.

Your post is 99% buzzword

>War table missions are a joke. Everyone plays with their clock to cheat them.

Anyone who doesnt is a massive idiot. They have no value whatsoever beyond artificially lengthening/dragging out the story.

Every single resource collection aspect that bioware made is shit

>waited for a crack for ages
>donwloaded and installed
>character creation menu
>default mans face has lipstick and eyeliner
>unistall

>For some reason I still liked it.

This sums up how I feel about Inquisition.

Anyone who feels this game is for "SJW's" is a fucking retard, though. The SJW tropes are there, but they aren't forced upon the player.

The gameplay was shallow as fuck, and the non-story driven sidequests were lame. All in all, this game was meh. I haven't played the DLC, and I've lost interest in this franchise.

>best girl can't be romanced
Scout Harding was actually a pretty decent character too, by which I mean she was the least annoying and didn't look like she was smacked repeatedly with the ugly stick.

Where's is it? I played to almost completion and I don't feel it. They included women and a gay in the game? So do lots. Is fable SJW because you can marry a man? Pull your head out your arse

Wow it must be pretty easy to label anything SJW unless the game has huge titted blondes and manly men. Quite scary that you look at things through this lense

>tranny character forced in your face, can't even call him out on being a degenerate
>feminist world, all the powerful characters are female (very believable)
>straight male romance options are all fucking ugly as ass
>muh poor oppressed elves, but for some reason people have no problems with niggers being knights n sheeiit, again very believable
>can't even play an evil or ruthless character in general like in old bioware games
Go shill your shit game somewhere else

user Krem is literally a legal transexual, now mind you, you can skip that conversation and just ignore it, but don't play your MUH BOGEY MAN bullshit here. It's still a good game fuck you

Already played the Witcher 3, Wasteland 2, Div:OS and Pillars of Eternity and Underrail
I am badly looking for a good RPG, any recommendations?
I didn't like shadowrun, age of decadence and I can't be bothered with the older souls titles.

That scene about Iron bull's tranny sex friend always makes my blood boil.

Not as good as Origins, just replay that

I never could finish it because it would crash all the time after a while, making it unplayable
It's not SJW like DA2, it has, to my knowledge, just one trans character and she's handled poorly

It could've been much better with normal writing and not the Bioware "oh so quirky" thing

I also liked the fact that you can actually role play, that was nice

New Vegas is conspicuously absent from your list

Its shit. But to be honest i didnt even try it that hard, played for about 3h and than gave up. I tought it was horrible shit, but maybe i should have insisted harder. Anyway, im happy i didnt pay for it.

I remember doing the same but I uninstalled right after I saw some of the dialogue options and experiencing the fight at the first portal because I could instantly tell it would be garbage. 5/10

You don't get to burn heretics. What is an inquisitor if you don't burn heretics?

Not really, it's dumb downed, simplified classes, not a large amount of skill choices via narrow talent trees. You can only use as many skills as a gamepad allows you to bind. Which is like 8.

Story is mediocre, world exploration is alright at first, but the whole game starts feeling like an offline MMO. All the side quests are just go gather x of this.

Gameplay is fine but it gets boring after a while, mostly because the rpg character mechanics sucks so it just feels like an unrewarding action game.

Dragon Age Origins was rough in some areas, but it will probably remain the peak of this series.

Mass effect is nice. But dont pay for mass effect 3, their mistake can not be forgiven.

the combat was really good for amalur, not sure what you consider good combat? Don't say dragons dogma that combat is shit.

>but for some reason people have no problems with niggers being knights n sheeiit, again very believable

I never understood this argument. In a fantasy/sci-fi setting, it does make sense for human racism to be less prevalent. You'd be a lot more concerned about the giant reptile people or creepy elves who have values different from your own.

Please kill yourself.

>You can only use as many skills as a gamepad allows you to bind. Which is like 8.
One thing that really bugged me is that this is also true for your team. They shouldn't have had this limitation on AI.

The first mission is as good as it gets. After that, Bioware would have to send me checks.

Some people are genuinely retarded and just parrot memes and the opinions of other retards like it's the truth.

I don't see any reason why there would be blacks in a fantasy version of anglo-celtic medieval england at all (without any explanation) except for shoehorning in diversity

The gameplay is pretty shitty. The enemy variety is pathetic, and nearly every encounter is handled the same way which becomes very boring. One of the biggest problems is that the rest of the party is damn-near uncontrollable, and will refuse to do anything you tell them (especially navigate terrain which it seems nothing in the game is particularly good at doing), so you really are just playing a single-player MMO with some shitty AI tagging along barely doing anything.

To me, real-time with pause really only works well when you're expected to control a party and set up proper tactics and such. Take away almost any ability to do that, and there's no point in having the pause anymore. Just make it another shitty ARPG. Which is what it is.

>The fantasy version anglo-celtic medieval England can have dragons and magic but not dark skins because that's taking it too far!

Sound logic

played both fallout new vegas and 4, is 3 worth checking out?
I was always kinda interested in Mass Effect, is it more a shooter with RPG elements or the other way around?

Keep the suggestions coming, I am a nerd in need of distraction

I love how people apply real world expectations in a fantasy world, like, my man are you for real?

You could have mentioned the god awful combat but that's what you chose to complain about? Jesus fucking christ lads, I'm starting to think you all don't even play the games you so strongly share opinions about.

Honestly? The story segments aren't that bad and the SJW shit is kind of overblown, I'd say the worst element of it is that weird quote unquote trans person in Bull's merc group who is pretty much there to virtue signal. Not that distracting though it makes you lift eyebrows when it comes up. In general the Qunari are an odd little anachronism that seems to be there so they can insert nonsense like that. Maybe I'd feel different if they had a game set in tevinter and they played a larger role.

Anyways the combat is really uninteresting, it's pretty clear it was developed with online multiplayer in mind and it's just ass. It tries to mix up DAO's more old school strategic gameplay with DA2's more action oriented shit and it just doesn't work.

they'd have been better off turning it into an action game if that's the audience they want to court.

Contrary to the shitposting here fo3 is good, but calling it fallout is a misnomer

I would say slightly better than 4. But not as expansive as NV even with mods

I guess that depends on what you consider 'sjw'. For me that doesn't just encompass social politics but also polical/economic ideology. Globalism, immigration, free speech. Not saying you're a dullard dude. Inquistion is full of that shit. Opinions from assholes I didn't even know existed. But then again, it's a canadian entertainment company so if you weren't expecting it. You're an asshole.

Why has there been such a sudden influx of DAI threads over the past two weeks or so? I've been seeing threads like this almost on a daily basis.

>you can let the tranny die, also """"""him"""""""
>??? they have basically a widely respected nunnery as a main source of power, which obviously cant include men, whole story begins with the divine dead
>subjective, pretty much every single character is disgusting in the game
>fuck elves, plus you're never forced to help them, and there's like one black knight who isn't even a part of your team and can be dodged completely with your choices
>true

It's shit, but not for those bollocks Sup Forums-tier reasons

If you love RPGs it might be worth your time, otherwise skip it cause it's not a particularly great one

How is it overblown? Every character defies the norm given the setting. Their atttempt at shoehorning it isnt subtle, its constant and drives me nuts

This, isn't risen 3 tier, just a step up.

MAss Effect 1's shooting elements aren't very strong but the story makes up for it. 2 becomes a fairly standard shooter but rapes the lore to do it and 3 is the lowest point of the series.

Look into Avernum and Geneforge and anything by spiderweb software really.

3 isn't worth the time of day unless it's packaged into NV's engine via TTW as the game is ass on multiple levels but becomes pretty good with stuff like Project Nevada to spice up the gameplay.

Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen is fucking amazing and worth playing, as are any entries in the Dark Souls series. (personally I suggest starting with Demon's Souls)

try STALKER if you liked fallout.

You can just see the look on his face that reads "fucking seriously?"

Nope. Ur OP as fuck ur party AI is retarded and the only good aspect is 3 dragon fights.
THe story picks up after the shit tier made by DA2 (that is so repetitive and boring I couldn't even go pass the 3h in)
Its a single player MMO with Oblivion Gate closing that repeats over 2000 times and never gets anywhere.
There is about 3 quests in the game and a good portion of it is forcing u to wait for a minig game to finish or fiddle with ur PC clock.
ITs utter garbage and they murdered Dragon Age. Fuck Bioware.

Amalur was fun. Nothing groundbreaking but fun.
DA:I is repetitive Skyrim tier levels of bad.
You HAVE TO CRAFT A BEST WEAPON.
TAKE OUT THE LORE FROM A LORE RICH GAME. FUCK LEGE DROPS. FUCK UNIQUE QUESTS HERE YOU GO A 2000 DEMON GATES TO CLOSE CUS DURR

I'm finally finishing the game up, currently on Trespasser at about 85 hours. It definitely has flaws but it's by far Bioware's best game in ages. They clearly work way better when they have more time to develop a game, which is giving me some hope for Mass Effect. Though ME3 was largely ruined by the ending, it lacked a lot of detail and polish too.

The "SJW" stuff isn't obnoxious like I was expecting based on some reactions to it. Dorian and Krem feel natural. Sera is the worst thing in my eyes, but it's her personality.

It is unremarkable and kind of tedious. Story is stupid and full of plot holes. Not entirely terrible game but 5/10 at best.

>Krem feels natural
To me it felt like an unsubtle and confrontational way to say something when the Cole quest line has the same message much more elegantly done and more fitting of the fantasy setting.

like mass effect 3 the only thing i like in inquisition was the multiplayer

I don't understand how this game gets harshed for it, but a game like x gets away with it other than weaboos

I just played Krem's part last night and it seemed to fit fine. He didn't play it up or make a big deal about it, you just ask some questions and get some backstory. I think it could have been WAY worse knowing Bioware.

One could suck every cock there is and has ever been and not be as much of a faggot as you. And yes, i am counting animals.

Fucking kill yourself

You seem to not understand how the T works.

It can't be figurative (like how magic is for homosexuality) it has to be literal.
Figurative isn't "real representation" to them.

It is taking it too far, because there's no good reason for it. *Keep it the same as anglo-celtic medieval England*, and add the necessary parts to make it a fantasy RPG in said setting (e.g. dragons and magic).

(P.s. you should really study some philosophy. 'Sound' (or 'unsound') is not a proper description of any instance of logic. It is *arguments* that are sound or unsound. Soundness relates to truth, where the logic of an argument is merely its form. An argument can have flawless logic (we call this a 'valid' argument) but nonetheless be unsound. Consider the following argument:

1. If I am a carrot, then the moon is made of cheese
2. I am a carrot
Therefore,
3. The moon is made of cheese

This is a valid argument! In other words, the logic is flawless. It is, however, an unsound argument, because both of its premises (1 and 2) are false. If you disagree with this analysis, you simply do not understand the study of logic.

You can read more about this here:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic

Read the first section. I realise that this is only the beginning of a Wikipedia article, but I think that is the level that you are currently at).

good? perhaps, almost.
It´s certainly pretty okay, but it never gets really immersive. The fun is tightly interwoven with tedium, like having a giant ass area where you have to run for ages to get to interesting pount, and on top of that you have to collect everything you would find in a ubisoft open world as well, since you are going to need it at some point,
And to add insult to injury, the game has a hard requirement for collecting/grinding in form of power that you need to progress, regardless of being strong enough.

It has some quality parts that were diluted way too much with busywork, and as a result the game plays like a chore for periods again and again.
It could have been very good(maybe?) if they kept it 30-40 hours long and left out all the open world nonsense.

DA:I Is basically a really, really, really shitty kingdoms of amalur. With an even dumber plot, main boss, and supporting side cast.

I say this as someone who enjoyed KOA. Stay the fuck away from DA:I. It's awful.

At least in 2 your party members were bareable and had some okay dialogue.

Also merrill and isabella might have been annoying but at least they were fuckable. Sera/joseaphine/nu-cassandra look hideous in addition to being poorly written.

There is the part where they keep loudly and repeatedly talking like radical lefties about how absolutely okay it is to love someone of your own gender and how okay the world is with it, to the point where it begs the question why they would even mention something nobody would raise an eyebrow about.
That part was painfully obviously placed to aggravate people who dislike it, and aweful writing to boot.

>Ignoring SJW bla bla bla, is this a good RPG or not?

It's average in every single way. Cisquisition is only saved by the huge budget, huge dev team and all vastness of that went with it.

Haven't played the DLC so maybe that redeems it but it was just simply average and this is from a person that put 92hrs into it. As a footnote, the game gets worse the more you play it cause the end areas are so fucking barren and only have kill X quests. It's clear the bulk of the creativity was spent in the start to the middle AKA where most of the main story takes place.

5/10

You could do worse I guess.

>is this a good RPG or not
or not

>Look into Avernum and Geneforge and anything by spiderweb software really.
My nigga.

How is Avadon 2, by the way?

If you haven't played RPG before then it could easily be a great game to you

But having the baggage i have its just below average

You could at least ignore the gay shit on the other games, in here it seems so fucking forced and thrown on your face it is disgusting

>nu-cassandra
Like her or hate her, she is an improvement over the old version.
