Dragon Age: Inquisition Review | GameRevolution
GR: Given the choice between fantasy and science fiction, I’m more likely to sway towards science fiction and the foreign galaxies that allow for alien races, intergalactic laser fighting, and BioWare’s admittedly fantastic ability to weave the familiar with unknown races and forces in the Mass Effect series. It was Mass Effect 2 that got me to hungrily play through the original game before diving into the sequel and the finale. While the developer’s fantasy outings have received a lot of attention, I haven’t actually played Dragon Age: Origins or its embattled sequel, but it's about time I remedied that.
It was the number of new IPs that lost Dragon Age in the shuffle, at least for me and my own grasp of the franchise. Starting new for Dragon Age: Inquisition meant suspending any preconceived notions I had of the series. Thus, whether Morgan and Hawke carried their own plot lines into Dragon Age: Inquisition didn’t matter as much to me, but this will certainly carry weight for longtime Dragon Age fans. In that, Inquisition superseded my expectations both as an expansive Western role-playing game and as a compelling story that quickly wraps the player in layers of world-building culture shock and immediately likable characters.
