Dragon Age: Inquisition

Have you played Dragon Age: Inquisition?
Which class did you begin with... warrior, mage, or rogue?
A massive explosion destroys the Conclave and creates a hole in the Veil — the metaphysical boundary between the physical world and the Fade, the world of spirits and demons — referred to as the "Breach". The only survivor of the blast is the player character, who emerges with a mark on their hand capable of closing rifts in the Veil that have sprung up in the Breach's wake, but who retains no memory of what happened. Witnesses claim the player character was ushered out of the Fade by a mysterious female figure, rumored to be the prophet Andraste, the historical Bride of the Maker.

After closing several rifts, the player character begins to be referred to as the "Herald of Andraste". With the Chantry effectively leaderless, Leliana and Cassandra Pentaghast invoke one of the Divine's last orders to re-establish the Inquisition, an organization originally formed to defend against the dangers of magic and heretics. After closing the Breach with help from rebel mages or remnants of the Templar Order, Haven is attacked by a force led by Corypheus, an ancient Darkspawn mage, who was responsible for opening the Breach. Aided by a dragon, Corypheus overcomes Haven's defences and confronts the Herald.

I played loads and loads of 'Dragon Age: Origins', and I loved it. I played all of the expansions, and 'Awakenings', and enjoyed it all. (EDIT: Well, DA2 retroactively ruined Anders. Anders was fun in 'Awakenings', and then DA2 turned him into the biggest douchebag imaginable, so now I'm annoyed.)

'Dragon Age 2' was pretty weak, in comparison. It felt very, very rushed. As you were playing it, you noticed reused assets-‐--------you can only fight your way through the same dungeon a few times before you go 'hey, I recognise that staircase'. And they wrecked combat. Back in DA:O, bad guys had to enter via the entrances, so you could do tactics. You could put your tank up front and your healer in back. Like you do. In 'DA2', enemies just spawned wherever the hell they wanted, and it was asinine, and I hated it.

I've heard lots of good things about 'Inquisition', but haven't played any of it yet.

Dragon Age: Origins was overall good. The sequel seemed bad, and Inquisiton went woke, so the franchise died to me. There's a new sequel coming up but I have zero interest.

I'd be interested in a remaster of the first one, but that's about it. Bioware should do remasters of all their older games, like DAO and Jade Empire.
