I heard some great reviews on this game. Since it was on sale for the full edition might as well buy it.

I’ve never herd of this series before so I’m curious if it’s a good starting point and I’m also curious what the community thinks of the game over all

When I saw him come on screen it was just how I’d picture Anders in live action. Wondering if anyone else felt the same. They both have such wet cat energy as well

I really miss that old white and red design. It looked so unique and 'clean', like you've seen it from the distance and already associated it with Dragon Age. I don't understand why they changed that for Inquisition - I mean it does look good, but it also looks kind of like any ordinary fantasy design.

I don't know what I should think of the Dreadwolf design, yet. Reminds me of Disney somehow.

Rant incoming.

OK, so I'm reading a lot of feedback about the game on different sites and I'm noticing a big trend. A lot of of the people complaining about the game are saying things like "boring sidequests," "really slow," "can't get into the story/characters." And that is almost always accompanied by "I'm trying to do everything in the Hinterlands before moving on."

Normally I wouldn't tell anybody else how to play the game. And I definitely recognize the OCD-ness, must complete everything, don't want to miss anything impulses.

But seriously. LEAVE. THE FUCKING. HINTERLANDS.

The Hinterlands is meant as a starting area. Honestly, it has the most boring quests in the game and is probably the most boring area. You're a fucking Inquisitor, you shouldn't be too overly concerned with a farmer's missing druffalo.

Do some stuff, gain some power, then go to the war table and use that power to unlock the next stuff.

"But wait! I'm going to miss stuff if I advance the story." No, you won't. All of the areas remain unlocked and you can go back and do everything. Even after you finish the main story.

Actually, you are going to miss stuff if you STAY in the Hinterlands. In the sense that you are going to level up killing low-level bandits and then be overleveled for the story content and areas that are actually cool.

If you move the story just a bit, you get access to a whole bunch of new characters, who all come with their own quests (which are cool). You get more into the story - big stuff happens, you get to make your first big choice, you eventually move to your main stronghold (which is fully customizable).

The game completely opens up if you just leave and do some other stuff. I'm pretty far into the game. Last night I played a story mission and by the end I just sat there going "god DAMN that was awesome." It was so impressive. But people are like, scared of moving the story. I don't want it to be over either, but the coolest parts, the most memorable parts, aren't going to be getting that one guy's wife a potion.

If you're grinding out the Hinterlands and having a ball - more power to you. Stay and settle down and become a farmer. Live in Redcliffe and never leave.

If you're still in the Hinterlands and feel like the game is slow or the sidequests are boring - maybe it's because you are basically doing the equivalent of staying in the cellar of the tavern and killing rats.

Completionism for completionism's sake is no good if it kills your own enjoyment. And honestly, you are going to start leveling up doing stupid stuff, leaving you overleveled for the much cooler stuff.

By the way - some stuff in the Hinterlands is clearly not meant to be done at the beginning. You got killed by a dragon? That rift is spitting out level 12 demons? YEP, that's Bioware telling you to MOVE THE FUCK ON and come back later.

It's not just you guys, it's GameFAQs and Bioware Social Network and every site it seems half the topics are about how I need to grind through the Hinterlands. Just made me a bit nuts because 99% of what I love about this game has zilch to do with the Hinterlands.

Ok, rant over. Sorry for yelling. We good?

My Heart goes out all the developers who worked on this game and have gotten nothing but shit treatment by EA and their higher ups.

Regardless of all the negativity in this fandom Veilguard for me and others has been light in this dark times and I love it. No matter Dragon Age wouldn't be the same without them and I hope they move on the much greener pastures then EA.

Fixed title, but as title says, running it on a phone, via emulator.

Xendroid, with updated turnip driver.

We have our usual sales:

Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition - $4.49
Dragon Age II: Ultimate Edition - $4.49
Dragon Age Inquisition: GOTY Edition - $5.99

But also The Veilguard is at its lowest price ever:

Dragon Age The Veilguard - $38.99

EDIT: Origins is now on sale on gog.com too, for people who want the already patched version of the game

man this is so frustrating

I might just have terminal Inquisition brain rot those.

Look what I found! Now I need to buy a working PS3.

Dragon Age has been my sole game since Covid. (Haven’t played anything in over a year).

Please help me find a video game to play. I’d love a video game that has graphics closer to DAI/DAV rather than DAO/ DA2.

A friend recommended the Witcher 3… I haven’t finished it.

Reasons why I LOVE dragon age.

1. The found family dynamic

I love traveling with the party, interacting with them after quests, and listening to the party banter. (Unlike the Witcher 3 where I had to make Geralt run around all sad and alone, hiding from monsters and picking flowers ).

2. Team effort battles

Battle for me should feel like part of the narrative. In dragon age, feels like a team effort rather than a solo chore. (Again. Geralt was often sad and alone)

2. Approval System

Your choices matter to your friends. Everyone has different world views and opinions. I love that.

3. Customisable characters

I love that I get to choose my character’s race, class, gender and appearance! Even if the hair option were slim in the first few games it gave me more control over my character. (Don’t give me Geralt)

4. Realistic romantic complexity

Dorian being gay, Morrigan being straight (sadly) and Cullen only liking elves / humans (sus but okay boo 😘) reinforces that they are independent people with their own lives, rather than just trophies for the player to collect.

Additionally, id like to find a game that allows for me to run around and jump on roofs. If traveling to many diverse locations is an option like in DAI, that’d be a great plus.

I work at my local McDonald's and a customer out in the wild said "love your dragon age tattoo" DAI is my favorite in the series but I've been thinking about adding green water color affect? Yes or No?

Hey, a citizen of Kirkwall here. So First Enchanter Orsino and Knight-Commander Meredith were going at it (again) in low town. Saw the champion heading towards there presumably to calm them down. Next thing I know the Chantry blows up and the Templars and mages are attacking each other in the streets.

Anyone have any information?

Edit: I’m hiding out by the docks. There’s dozens of mages, demons, and Templars fighting.

Edit 2: there’s something banging the entrance of my hiding spot. Sounds like a demon.

Edit 3: the door gave way and 2 demons are chasing me. I’m in a warehouse sent help

Went on vacation with my fiancé and found myself with some downtime so I popped into a retro game store to see if anything caught my interest. Needless to say, I found something VERY cool lol

Are most of them complicated or fancy/have expensive ingredients? What few pages of it I've managed to find look really cool and I'd love to try making some of them! I'm just wary because the book is like $50 and I don't want another Stardew Valley cookbook situation where most of the recipes have an ingredient I cant get in Australia or is way too expensive to be worth the risk of trying something new (So Many recipes used lobster XP)

So I'd love to know if anyone here has the dragon age cookbook and can give me an idea? I've heard it rates different recipes for difficulty, but I'm curious what fav recipes might be and overall how easy most of them would be and also not make it impossible to try because of expensive fancy ingredients. Also, my kitchen is absolutely minuscule so knowing if most of them would need a normal amount of bench space would also help lol

Feels like every day there's a very small update for DA2 on steam. Does anyone know what it is? I haven't touched the game in a month.

I was curious to find out what you people are like ;) So i made this extensive dragon age demografics survey, which i would really appreciate if you would partake in. It only takes around 5 minutes to complete.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdY_fIgWTno3iyP79IEochtnlMzQq8_rV06nBygyNU26vpysA/viewform?usp=sf_link

I will obviously post the results here after getting enough answers and after having played around with the stats a bit :D I'll also make a bunch of nice graphs and diagrams for you guys to enjoy. Also, be mindful that i'm not a native english speaker, so if any questions are formulated in an odd manner, then you know why.

Making and analyzing surveys is actually going to be a big part of one of my next semester's courses, so it would be wonderful to get some constructive critizism on the survey. Anything that doesn't work? Something that should have been done differently? Tell me!

Anyways have fun!

Edit: Woah 2700 participants! That's more than i could have ever dreamed of :)) I have closed the questionaire now and will probably post the results within around christmas time (as it's exam season right so i'm pretty busy at the moment)

I am also going to post a similar survey to tumblr in hopes of comparing the two platforms demographics, and i will post those results as well if anyone are interested :)
