The best thing to ever come out of Bioware
I didn't like the combat, and II isn't terrible, but yeah.
I was gonna say the Witcher 1, but that came out two years prior to DA:O.
It's amazing how much the genre has stagnated since then.
Witcher 3 was the last one unless you count Kenshi's 1.0 release
No that would be Horizon Forbidden West

Kill yourself beta gook
The combat was fire though. It's 3rd person 3D so it gaslights you into thinking it's skill based, but really it's RTwP, which in turn is just turn-based with extra steps. Once you realize that and get a handle on tactics it's easily the most rewarding combat in the series.
The cutscenes were great for 2009 youtube.com
I miss bioware rpgs bros. They nailed the comfy party adventures feeling.
Pretty much. I still replay it now and then. I practically know the whole game like the back of my hand.
While I agree that the combat system has potential (even it is RTwP...) the problem with the first Dragon Age was the encounter design or rather lack thereof.
It's inferior to Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 in literally every single aspect. Including the graphics.
>Mfw trying to play inquisition
Even with mods to ease the shittyness this game isnt that good.
Inquisition is a weird one for me. As a storyfag who loves a good CYOA narrative, I treat DA:I as interactive fiction, and on that account the writing and pacing is actually really good. But the combat is so abysmally boring, it feels like I'm grinding to get to the good parts. I think I'd unironically play a mod that just outright removes all combat from the game.
>I treat DA:I as interactive fiction
That's what it was designed to be like. The game is only good if you install a bunch of QoL mods and turn the difficulty all the way down so you can power through the dogshit gameplay to get to the next story point.
>II isn't terrible
it is though
Pic not related.
It was, even though David Gaider is an atrocious fucking writer and all the dialogue he was involved in is cringe as fuck
If they just kept to the same formula, fixed and tweaked the combat and updated graphics, along with expanding on the world then the series could have been the best CRPG series of all time. But EA.
The melee combat in DA:I is unironically better than TW3's yet people can't stop sucking off Witcher
How do you know what dialogue he was specifically involved in?
Look up the characters he wrote. Alistair, for example
Pathfinder Kingmaker and WotR would like a word.
Once you get past the tutorial, you run into an giant ad for paid DLC, so no. Stop being a little bitch and play Pathfinder already.

BG3 is looking pretty good, despite the hate it gets here.
BG2 is better
Wdym user, Alistair's dialogue is the best. He is my favorite character and RO.
