DA games rating thread

It's really hard to compare them. I enjoy them all, but for different reasons. For all the things that DA2 did to improve upon Origins, it dropped the ball on just as many. Inquisition was kinda the same. When you weigh everything out, I'd say they're pretty close to equal.

DAO, DA:2, DA:1. In that order.

That's pretty much my opinion as well. It's why it can differ for me which one I'm in the mood to play when I'm not doing a new worldstate playthrough.

I voted DA2 > DAI > DAO. Despite DA2's problems, it has my favorite protagonist, the best relationships between companions, the most relatable villains, and the most relatable story. DAI beats DAO because DAI has fewer companions that annoy the crap out of me, and fewer extremely tedious areas that are unskippable.

I do like all three of them, though.

Inquisition is my favourite, but I find it difficult to choose between DAO and DA2. In the end I went DAI > DAO > DA2 because DAO succeeded at what it was trying to do better than DA2 did. (What DA2 attempted was more interesting, though, which is why I find it hard to rank them.)

Oh man there are so many variables
Gameplay wise DA2>DAI>DAO
Story dao>da2>dai
Characters dao>dai>da2
It's really hard to compare but for me overall dao>dai>da2

DA2 > DAO/A and thanks, not interested in DAI, too much things I don't care for there. About the only thing I liked about the dai pitch is that you can play a Quinari, but not really a real one at that, and not in their actual land. The way people talk about companions and relationships feels uncomfortable for me, and I don't see a single one I like from the description. The ending of the DA2 did not get me into the I want to know what happens next mood. And all the talk about the various grinds like gathering, crafting, mob clean-ups and collect a million and three of mosaics or songs or what not brings on a MMO ptsd in me. I can't take a grind without friends. I also hear the plot is just okay anyway. And it's a europenian setting again. The graphics did not show the kind of improvements that would make it worth for the eye candy. Finally, MP mode seems to be way inferrior to ME3 and pretty much dead.

Now, if DAI was taking place among Quinari, and the companions were more like in Awakening/DA2, graphics was great, and mp was like Me3... yep, I'd play it.

DAO>DAI>>>DA2

I like DAI almost as much as DAO, but what made the difference here was the banter bug, which made me play in a paranoid way - running around for 10 minutes at the beginning of each play session, avoiding any story related quest until I got banter. In that case, proceed as normal. If not, try the various "fixes" that were in circulation back then, like fast traveling to Val Royeaux and what not, or give up and play in silence. In big zones. That took my enjoyment down a notch.

DA2, well... I never got into its story and actively avoided half of its companions. Which is sad, since I love personal stories. That one just wasn't for me.

How is it that 39% of the voters found DAI better than DAO? Do you guys just have bad taste? I know it's bsn and so the crappy game gets more love here. Nonetheless it's pretty interesting that only 13% of voters rate the games like I do. They have good taste.

Well you asked a question and got your answer

Exactly the same for exactly the same reasons . And I do love all three of them.
