Yeah, pretty much. Try the original Dragon Age if you want to see where all the love comes from or DA2 if you want to play a kinda shit, but still weird enough to be interesting game. Inquisition is the Oblivion of the series in the sense that it's generic as all hell and has a fundamentally broken design. It doesn't help that all the context that would make Inquisition's plot palatable is hidden away in the prequel novels and comics. If I hadn't read those or loved the previous two games I'd probably feel exactly the same as you. The two DLC campaigns and the epilogue are a significant departure in quality, by the way, although they do little to make the combat more enticing. Funny, I thought Oblivion was much better than Origins, which was generic as all getout. Eh, less generic and more subverted Tolkein / plagiarized ASOIAF. Oblivion would probably seem less totally shit if you weren't aware of what Cyrodil was like prior to the lore retcon in ES4.

Late to the party, like OP So Pattsy, tell me, have you never seen in this marvellous TW series (mind you I like them, in a different way from Bioware's game, but I like them), so have you never seen a quest like 'bring me 10 tails of X monster', 'I need 5 heads from Y monster' ? Did these quests make TW games bad? No they add to the game time, allow you to level up and are boring when you play for the Xth time. Same thins for Bioware game, there are many side quests, or scanning quest (ME 1, 2 or 3) that are part of the levelling and boring when you play for the Yth time. Now if you know a major RPG game, with a game length > 50 hours which doesn't use this trick, please name it, I would be happy to play it.

Well, OP, you might take a look about toxic behavior in gaming culture, a thread a bit down from this one - it seems, they mean people like you. If you want to be taken serious, try constructive criticism instead of trolling. And just copying and pasting a six month old post from another forum? Not cool and very unimaginative. So it's not even good trolling.

I can't disagree with you, you make points that people are aware of and Bioware is aware of. The biggest issue with this game was it was bloated as hell with too much filler. I still feel like that game got dated really fast when Witcher 3 came out. No one was complaining about this before. I also think the limitations of Old Gen consoles messed with the full potential of DAI. DAI has a lot of good going for it, but it could be a chore to play for some. I love DAI, but I don't disagree with you here.

Why are there even threads like this years after release?
Going to start a thread about how Dragon Age Origins Sucks? That'd be totally relevant to a site of Fans that love Dragon Age too.

Don't tempt me. Not sure if serious.... I mean, where was the cinematic quality in that quest? Where were the tough dialog choices to make? Where were the cast of external characters lending their perspectives? The quest ends with the standard DAI journal text. I said on par with Carnal Sins, not some random DAI side quest with no significant choices or emotional appeal. Try again....

The Knight's Tomb. Don't tempt me. Not sure if serious.... I mean, where was the cinematic quality in that quest? Where were the tough dialog choices to make? Where were the cast if characters lending their perspectives? Very serious. You make the mistake of asuming that a quest has to have those things to be great. Afterall look at Fallout and Skyrim for lack of cinematic quality yet both games are very well loved. But, the tough choice at the end was whether or not to give the history to the Dalish, or the Chantry, and it was a very human story that expanded on the history and lore of Thedas and added moral complexity to the whole world. The Dalish weren't the innocent victis we thought, mistakes were made on both sides, it was a very human (Elvish) story about love and betrayal, which then led to a terrible war. Something that would have been very at home in the Game of Thrones universe of moral complexity. Actually it probably is one of the more philosophically deep side quests in an RPG I have played recently. Though Witcher has maybe...one quest...like that (the one with the Baron).

The quest ends with the standard DAI journal text. I said on par with Carnal Sins, not some random DAI side quest with no significant choices or emotional appeal. Try again.... It’s on par to him. On means similar to. The Carnal Sins quest I showed had the following qualities: - Dialog (the quest he showed had none on that....outside of the standard party banter, just a bunch of text reading which is one of DAI's main complaints) - A cast of characters that all added interesting perspectives and twist (Outside of your own party members, there really weren't any external characters that were integral to the quest that you interacted with and helped shaped your perspective) - A choice that was based on your own intuition (I'll give him this, it did have a choice in the end, albeit not as climatic as the Carnal Sins one) - Cinematics (Yes, this is integral because he helps shape the atmosphere and draws the player in which dialog, cinematics, and music) What he showed was NOT on par with Carnal Sins and was just an attempt to not allow TW3 to have a one-up on DAI. Just because the quest was of significance to him does not mean it was on par with the quest I referenced. I may like the University I attended, but in terms of overall quality and other factors, that does not make it on par with a University such as Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. I may like my car that I drive, but that does not make it on par with a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Again, try again. Find a side quest in DAI that is on par ( with the qualities I listed above) with Carnal Sins

The original point you made was to find a quest with similar quality to Carnal Sins in TW 3 (which, as an aside, is not one of the stronger side quests in TW 3 but that is kind of beside the point), I provided you with an answer that overall The Knight's Tomb is on par with the quality of Carnal Sin. Then you replied with a list of random qualifying statements on specific items on what you believe is 'quality'. Then I, and Smiles, replied that was irrelevant, only to have you turn around and say you were asking for only quests which had those very specific things in it which you did not specify in your OP.

But now that you know what my intent was, I ask again.....based on the factors of: cinematics, cinematic conversations, external character interactions that comes from the base game (no DLC).....name me a SIDEQUEST (not main quest) that is on par (or better) than Carnal Sins.

Still a great game even better when you're rouge dw who using poison. Go back get some dam elfroot. Ps 3 years to late i heard from one of my friends that a DW Rogue sucked. Also my fiancee tried it (and well she has not played the game...like at all..) and even I've noticed the melee combat was a bit wonky...tell me your secrets. The Bow rogue though was a thing of Godly beauty.
