I may end up regretting this, but I'll give it a shot. I don't think you can objectively call DAI garbage. This thread is garbage, but I tried to start an actual discussion now. It is also a very individual experience, DA:O and DA2 for example were long released when I first played them and it was a very good experience. Especially playing a melee fighting class in DA2 was very rewarding. I did play Witcher1 several times and liked it very much, Witcher2 wasn't as great and even though I pre-ordered Witcher3, I didn't dare to play it yet (it looks more combat than story focused, some twitchy mess). Anyway, time to fill some gaps

I honestly thought the OP was a parody post. It wasn't... was it?

He died of radiation poisoning from the nuclear explosion at the end of Predator. Nailed it.

Two more really nasty things...
The speech volume outside cutscenes is the same volume as any ambient sound, I have to listen really carefully when trying to understand what most people say if I talk to them. I have to use a gamepad to properly change the camera angles, which weights 10kg after a while and it hurts playing. Even for dialogue you use both hands on the bloody controller, you choose with the left thumb and confirm with A. I only bought it for DA:I back then and since used it for TellTale games, I think.
These games are supposed to be relaxing.
p.s.I managed to get the dialogue sound working OKish with GstAudio.AudioIgnoresWindowFocus 1, then voice 100%, music 50% and ambient 60%
I don't even know what I am doing here, Hinterlands, getting horses?
Since the Chantry exploded and all the leaders died, the mages and templers fight each other. I am going to the Hinterlands to get horses, slay mages and templers in my path until it makes 'pling' and the Inquisition conquered the land. On my way I collect X this, X that and X those to help the refugees and get influence.
This does sound like a plot, but if you spend a whole week or just 8 hours doing this, it becomes boring. And I know from previous attempts it doesn't change, except for the enemies, the equipment and names.
There is no friend and foe, everything is hostile. You cannot walk 10m without some monster or mages or templer spawning. Then there are the rifts to close, which is OK.
IMHO, they could have dropped the whole mage/templer crap and just send the chosen one to close those rifts for the people like in Haven, then solve the conflict through dialogue and reputation. You could leave the skulls, notes and such to be found.
19h into the game again and it starts to make fun. Only one glitch so far with a conversation between followers I couldn't enter, had to switch to keyboard/mouse input and reload for this to work. At other times the RS button works on the controller. I will now do the mages questline, because the templers* just s..k and Fiona is unwillingly in an alliance with Tewinter. Leaving some things open in the Hinterlands, I continue the main quest a bit before I have to grind myself through the next area... not looking forward to it.
*I know they are under some spell, but the protagonist doesn't know that and has to assume the templers want to take control.

I spent thousands of hours with many games I hate as games but that are good for screenshots, WITH MODS. None of these games I would even touch without mods because as games they are useless (Skyrim, FO4, DAI) but they have beautiful graphics with mods and allow for somehow good customization with mods and provide great screenshots. But then, I avoid actually playing them, I just max everything with cheats to go through the maps/cinematics and take my screenshots. Lets say that as a game Inquisition (and many others) are great Fashion Studios.
DAO on the other hand I love playing each nanometer and each nanosecond, each 2xp extra, each level with its stat points, delicious! Making a new build, new choices... this is a GAME. Almost as good as the godlike Obsidian games.

DAI sucked. It's storyline is objectively inferior to DAO and DA2, in fact it's a rehash of dao story instead of darkspawn we get demons. It's characters are poorly written and contrived compared to the last two games. The main antagonist was the villain of the last games DLC and the final boss fight was inferior to the boss fight of that DLC. The environments are static. The combat is mmoish tier and pacing is mmo tier. Shit tone of crappy fetch quests. No cinematic dialogue or cutscenes for side content. Ubisoft open world zones. Low quality writing. Poor UI. Flashy combat system inferior to the previous games. I think I hit all the points, basically only feminists, SJW, and women think this game is perfect. DAI is a shit game and I regret spending 325 hours across two playthroughs. I also regret playing all the dlcs because they were overpriced for little content. Wow. That took some balls to bash the game in a hardcore BioWare Fan Forum. I'll give you that.

Not really. People have voiced their negative opinion of Dragon Age: Inquisition here before. For good reason. If they did not enjoy the game then yes, it is with good reason that they express a negative opinion of it. If I like the game then it is with good reason that I express a positive opinion of it. Our differing opinions do not need to invalidate each other. People can come away from something with different experiences and thoughts. That applies to books and television also.
Fond feelings when it comes to the Mass Effect 3 ending(s) is in short supply when it comes to me. I continue to express my disliking of them and other points from the series over in the Mass Effect forums but I would not disparage someone for enjoying the ending(s). I am happy that they found enjoyment in them and felt it was a satisfying end to the trilogy. That does not mean that I'm not going to continue expressing that I did not and explain why.
I feel the forums can be richer for differing opinions as long as people express their opinions respectfully. An example of not doing so would be by tying someone's liking to a "garbage game" as being because of their gender.

There is nothing to prove to you. I find all Ubisoft games garbage but i do not even bother to post in ubisoft related forums how much i despise their games. Other gamers like their games and this is fine . We gamers are the worst man, check Bioware video on peebees voice actor, the mindless negativity their is staggering . Comment sections should all be closed in media until the audience is mature enough
