I love Medieval Fantasy RPGs. I loved BOTH Dragon Age Origins (DAO
Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition - PC
) and Dragon Age 2 (DA2
Dragon Age 2 - PC
). Both used game engines that were developed in-house by BioWare. I really want to love Dragon Age Inquisition (DAI), BUT it uses a different game engine called Frostbite 3. Frostbite 3 was meant for a Sci-Fi game and NOT for a Medieval Fantasy RPG.
Before I begin my rant, let me state that I purposely delayed buying DAI for over two years! I hated the way BioWare/EA acted and have still NOT fixed the ending to Mass Effect 3 (refer to MrBtongue's TUN videos on YouTube to understand why I hated the ending to ME3). With the DAI Game-Of-The-Year edition, I paid a lot less for the Game, than I would have when it first came out.
The things that annoyed me about DAI:
[1] The SciFi-like GUI.
[2] Radar-like searching. Radars are out-of-place in a Medieval Fantasy Game.
[3] When opening doors/chests/etc. and grabbing loot, instead of 'hand-like' icon, you get a concentric circle icon. This icon is more suited for a Sci-Fi game.
[4] The Glitches, and they were hilariously plenty. Even the Developers must have noticed them, because in the game they try to explain it away as "The Breaches/Rifts are causing 'Glitches' in time". HOWEVER, when you clear an area of Breaches/Rifts, the Glitches are STILL occurring quite frequently afterwards! DAI had 11 patches! That is a lot and shows how DAI has many glitches.
In DAO and DA2, I was able to 'immerse' myself into the game and its world. Because of the above four things, I was unable to in DAI.
Other things that annoyed me:
[5] DAI tried to be more like a Skyrim Game. I do not want a Skyrim-like Game, I want a Dragon Age-like Game! I want a more story focused game. Yes, having multiple BIG open world 'sand boxes' is nice, BUT NOT at the expense of story. It really annoyed me when you accomplish a major world changing quest, and, afterwards, go into a town, and the town's NPCs have nothing new to say. This made the towns feel dead and zombie-like. It was not so with DAO and DA2. As another example: When you jail a villain, the Prison Guard still says she has no one to guard, despite a previously unoccupied jail cell now having the villain you had jailed.
I want a Smaller, but DYNAMIC open-world game, rather than a Huge, but Static open-world game.
[6] DAI did not have a Day and Night cycle. The Areas of DAI are vast. When entering a new area, it seemed ridiculous that you could explore it in one day. OK DAO did not have a Day/Night Cycle, but DA2 made an attempt to have one, which was nice and added to the 'immersion' factor.
[7] When in combat, DAO and DAI had an EXCELLENT AI system for your companions (called Tactics), which you could program in detail yourself. Best of all, you could program multiple Tactics for the same companion. Although cumbersome to program, this made switching Tactics easy when facing different types of enemies. The AI system in DAI is horrible (again, I blame the game engine for this).
In DAO and DA2, because I was so immersed in those games and their stories, I never 'farmed' for XP or for gold. Because I could not immerse myself into DAI, I have 'farmed' for XP, gold and loot, and abused the game's bugs/exploits.
End of review.
======================================
In addition, why does DAI have so many Illuminati Symbols in it?
The Inquisition Symbol is a combination of the Illuminati Eye and Templar-like symbol (a part of the Illuminati origins can be traced back to the Templars).
There is also a Five Arrows Symbol in DAI, which is a Rothschild's Symbol (representing the 5 sons of Mayer Amschel Rothschild). Funny thing is, this symbol is on a 'card', under a red crouching rogue with an upheld knife in his hand and with a smirk on his face. Was someone trying to say the Rothschilds are a bloody bunch of devious, sneaky, conniving, murderous thieves?
