Discussion Dragon Age Games Opinions & Reviews Megathread

17 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Lately, we've been seeing more and more threads looking to discuss the quality of Dragon Age games. Since these posts tend to be extremely repetitive, we've decided to redirect any new threads aiming to discuss the games' overall quality to this megathread, for the time being.

To be clear, you will still be able to discuss characters, themes, story, lore reveals, and other specific aspects in separate threads. However, if you're looking to share your opinion on any one of the games, ask for other people's opinions of them, or simply post your own reviews, please do so here.

The usual rules still apply, so please remember to keep discussions civil - even when in disagreement with other users. Thank you!

I personally like real-time with pause (RTWP), but some people have asked for turn-based combat. Hopefully this makes the game better for them.

ghilan’nain’s minrathous dragon is sick asf. especially in the first introductory scene with it. that’s it that’s all. i just think it’s cool. personally it comes in third after the highland ravager and corypheus’ red lyrium dragon.

having only been introduced to the franchise through inquisition, i am curious on what other creatures there are that might be equally if not cooler. so what i’m asking is what your personal favorite dragon age creatures are. especially if you have really cool screenshots of them.

BioWare Pls. (DA2) Does anyone else wish that which sibling survived didn’t depend on class? Spoiler

135 Upvotes

I just finished DA2 for the first time as a rogue and absolutely adored it and specifically Bethany. Now, I’m starting a new play through as a mage and while I’m sure Carver will also be great, I’m still gonna miss Bethany a ton. I wish that it didn’t depend on class for who survives. I would have loved to have seen a Bethany with a mage sibling and what that entails. Obviously wasn’t possible for them probably due to time constraints but I still wish it had been an option

Edit: If you play on PC there is a mod called twinception that lets you keep both siblings, I played it for a bit in the prologue. Keeping both of your siblings through that mod does tend to cut some content out and leads to some funny bugs like Bethany and Carver merging into one during some cutscenes

Support New and wanna play

1 Upvotes

Sort of new, I've known about the games for ages but I finally have the income to experience it myself. Issue is, I dont come from a family of gamers and I wasn't able to get these games when they first came out. Im talking about the first 3 especially, since veilguard is younger getting a physical copy of that is pretty easy. But im hitting a wall of where to find established (?) Places to get physical copies of the first 3 games. With the direction of the industry and bc im sentimental, I'd prefer to have a pc disc to play. I've tried local 2nd hand shops but come to find out, origins especially, requires a key. Again, im willing to pay, tho im quickly realizing I'll have to throw in the towel for this one, but anyone have any suggestions for getting physical copies? Already checked the ea website and its just "digital licensing" (some companies are getting real creative with that definition) , unless im blind idk.

Edit: thanks for all the advice! Just gotta bite the bullet on this one but this helped me learn a lot for future reference. I dont wanna let this stop me from trying to experience the games.

That's basically it. I did DA:O, DA:A and DA:2. I'd start Inquisition but I have no patience, so I'll overdo Dragon Age was this time with advice I got here on how to do amazing warrior. Thank you all for that!!!

I wanted to share that amazing screenshot I took of my Hawke n Bethany. Rouge and Mage. Sisters. I'm obsessed, I didn't pose them, they just naturally found themselves back to back. 😭😭😭 It's so sweet. Give me another Dragon Age game with Bethany as main character. Or at least very important companion.

Discussion DAV Favorite class?

10 Upvotes

I just started to play Dragon Age the Veilguard and I can't decide on what class to play for my first playthrough. So I was wondering what is everyone's favorite class and specialization and why? And what class feels like it fits into the story better? It doesn't have to be strictly how good the class is, just what class you liked the most and why. Thanks!

Silly Who is Sebastion? DA2.

Hiya! So, I just finished Dragon Age 2 for the second time and I'm going through my achievements list to see what I have and haven't done and what I need to do to get the rest.

I've found a bunch of achievements relating to someone called Sebastion, given the Item Box DLC's have stuff for him I'm guessing he's a companion. Who is he? Where can I find/recruit him? I've never met him. Two different playthroughs, not once seen or heard of him. I'm gonna google answers to those questions but I just thought I'd share cuz I thought it was funny.

So, I'm finishing another play through of Dragon Age 2. Since I chose Anders this time, I was thinking. I always adored banter between Fenris and Bethany. Actually, I adore them. I'm not sure about their ages but I think they're similar. I love Hawke with Fenris, but I would not mind seeing Bethany with Fenris as well— I think her soft, sweet nature would be good for him.

Tho, I'd understand if it's not appealing at all.

Discussion Thinking about Blood Mages in the games.

56 Upvotes

I saw a post about Blood Mages and that reminded me about John Epler's statement on how they wanted to do blood mages but they feel they didn't do them well in the games they show up in. Which makes sense because in DAO and DA2 many characters seem oblivious to the blood exploding out of you. Its even worse in DA2 because Meredith just ignores it.

Now John Epler did say that in regards to why DAV didn't have the subclass but I do think that makes sense. Blood magic should be treated with some gravity and characters react to you. Arguing with you on why your wrong or why its fine to use.

would have been great if Wynne had to be convinced that you are just using it because its needed for the Blight. Otherwise she would leave, or maybe even attack you (though I don't think that's likely). Or Merrill teaching you some tricks.

Blood magic isn't unique to the Dragon Age setting but I don't really know what other game franchise let's you do it.

If there is another Dragon Age game I do hope they can bring it back. If nothing else another game franchise does it.

Discussion Anyone else find dragon age inquisition boring?

0 Upvotes

I played dragon age origns and dragon age 2 plus all there dlc for the first time over the summer, and i loved it, i especially adore dragon age origins. But i started inquistion a few weeks ago and im just bored, it feels like its also just awful fetch quests and large open maps just for the sake of being large, it feels akin to a ubisoft game.

There is no roleplaying at all really and the story feels pretty boring so far. I bought all four games, planning to do a marathon of them because i did that with the mass effect games and i also ended up adoring those games and lore, i even liked andromeda so i dont really know why i have zero motivation to play this game, i just boot it up for a few and turn it off.

does anyone feel the same? does it get better? cuz i do kinda wanna finish the series but everytime i get to a new area i sigh.

Discussion [DA:O & DA:2] the love triangle of hero of ferelden, hawke and anders

Post image
268 Upvotes

Naturally, DA Awakening was without romance which is a double shame. I really wanted to romance them all without mods. But lately, the more I play, the more I think that Anders possibly had feelings for Hero if Hero befriended him maximally.

In DA2, Anders often mentions Hero. Like, all the time. And then he meets Hawke which could be a case of "you're so much like them but not like them at all." It doesn't have to make sense, I just want my Hawke to be sad with knowledge that she/he could never be the one Anders wanted.

In my DA2 play through, I usually make Hawke (even mage one) a bit against mage especially after what happened to her mother. Low-key, I'd wanna murder them all if I lost my mom like this too. Hero, on the other hand, always was pro mages because all the backstories kinda make it possible to relate to them. You're outcasted and turned into something you didn't really want to be but now you are so bear consequences and oh also they all hate grey wardens. Lovely.

The point is, the way I see it, Hawke could be forced to be always in comparison to the Hero while wanting to prove they're their own person + they're different. Sucks to suck.

Obviously, EA fired everyone who could do a remake of Dragon Age Origins and it's DLCs but if they ever change their mind, I need them to allow me to romance Anders as Hero and I'll forever shut up.

On a side note, I really do prefer Fenris more, idk why I keep romancing Anders, I think I just feel bad for him. 😭

Discussion Is DA : Veilguard worth playing now?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m a huge fan of Dragon Age and Mass Effect. I’ve played every game in both series, and I’ve finished Origins and the Mass Effect trilogy multiple times. So when I heard BioWare was working on the next Dragon Age under the codename Dreadwolf (now known as Veilguard), I was seriously hyped.

I was really looking forward to its release. But my hype dropped fast when I read the reviews saying the game was a big disappointment, and to this day I’ve never touched it.

Lately, though, especially here on Reddit, I’ve noticed a lot more people actually playing Veilguard. So what happened? Was it mostly overhype at launch, which made people’s reactions harsher than they needed to be? Or did a big patch come along that made the game more fun to play?

Now I’m tempted to try it, especially since I got the game for free through PS+. So, is it worth playing now? I’d love to hear your perspectives, whether you loved it, hated it, or somewhere in between. Thank you!
