About
You have to revive and lead the Inquisition, which aims to eradicate evil in the land of Thedas. War, intrigue, political strife deprived previously influential groups of Thedas the opportunity to act with the same efficiency. Players will have to respond to this threat, as well as explore a vast world, meet old and new characters and gather strength for the growing Inquisition.
You play as an inquisitor, and you can choose for your character: gender, race, voice, name and customise his look. Depending on the selected race, the player will receive specific bonuses and will be offered a choice of three classes: rogue, mage and warrior.
As in the previous parts of the series, the player controls not only his character but also a detachment of companions collected by him. In total, the game features nine companions. In battle, the player, as before, can activate a pause, during which the game stops, and at this time you can give orders to teammates. Everything is built on the dialogues between the characters, and they can directly change the ending of the game.

Dragon Age: Inquisition reviews and comments
Maybe 5 or so hours in and it’s decent but I’m starting to think I might get burnt out quicker than I thought. I’m really not getting enough gear or ability points fast enough. The game is huge. I can tell it has that Ubisoft open world vibe where there are so many quests and POIs but they are all just run over here and kill enemies, or kill enemies then pick up an item. Which can be fine but there needs to be a good sense of constant progression or character upgrades which I’m not yet feeling.
Part of me thinks this game got really good reviews because it was at the start of the “games can be massive era.”
I predict I don’t beat this game. It’s not awful but I’m starting to get bored and I’m not very far in yet. It feels too slow in many ways. The character literally moves slowly and attacks slowly. But then also the levelling up is slow, the gear progression is slow and the story hasn’t drawn me in (probably never will). The only real praise so far is it is satisfying the itch for an open world fantasy game where I can wander around. But that’s going to disappear soon so if the pace doesn’t pick up soon I think I’m calling it.
I’ve realized part of the reason it feels slow is I havnt focused on my party. I need to be playing as them and focusing on upgrading them more.
Nah I’m done. I put it on ice for awhile and I don’t really want to come back to it. I think if I did devote more time to it there’s a chance it would click and best case scenario it’d end up a B+. It seems like a game that demands a lot of energy to get the most out of it. It’s not worth the investment.
Final Score: B
It’s not quite Dragon Age Origins but I enjoyed it a lot more that Dragon Age 2. My main criticisms are the combat not fully clicking till mid game and the glitches/bugs that occur. The is way more room to grow on Frostbite which includes how the characters walk. Overall though I put in 100 hours including then Trespasser DLC and I miss my companions.
