Brains and brawnĪ common complaint that Dragon Age II received was that the game focused more on action rather than being a traditional RPG. That said, Inquisition’s story is very self-contained, meaning that players can enjoy this game, even if they’ve never played a Dragon Age game before. Inquisition’s plot relies on some of the world-building from previous Dragon Age games. These tasks can become a nuisance for some players, but they’re not a must to continue the game’s fascinating story, so they act more like padding for players that want to keep having adventures in the world of Thedas.
These include eliminating X number of enemies or doing some other type of fetch quest. The open world is undeniably rich and visually impressive, but it takes some elements from MMOs that aren’t compatible with the single-player-focused experience that is Inquisition.Īs you explore the map, you’ll come across dozens of sidequests that look straight out of World of Warcraft. This eliminates some of the obnoxious linearity introduced in Dragon Age II, while it also introduces a couple of new problems to the mix. For the first time, the land of Thedas is rendered as a truly open world.
