1- Dragon Age Origins and everything that came from it : Awakening, Witch Hunt etc. Also my favorite game ever.
2 - DA2. The Legacy DLC is actually better than the main game.
3 - DAI. Very good looking game. Can be fun. Lots of flaws. The series lost a lot of its magic. Epic moments. Adamant Fortress quest was awesome.

Dragon Age Origins and Awakening - 3rd place: When I first played this (which was less than a year ago) I loved it for filling me with nostalgia for NWN, which I played in college. It has the same feel, in a lot of ways, with its environments. There was something so mystical about NWN environments, to me, and Origins feels much the same way. Maybe it's the fact that the graphics just aren't good enough to look remotely realistic, so I'm forced to use my imagination more. I love the large scale battles and the humorous companion banter, and now that I've got Shale for the first time, I think he/she/it is one of the coolest companions in the series. However, now that I'm on my second playthrough, I'm finding the game very tedious. I've finished Redcliffe and the circle tower, and partially completed Orzammar, but I am seriously dreading the amount of time I will have to spend in the deep roads and in the Brecilian forest. The combat is ok, but I'm playing a mage and there aren't that many loot-able staves out there, for some reason. I'm lumping Awakening in with DAO because I don't remember much about it other than Justice, Anders' cat, and the glitchy broodmother (ugh). Dragon Age: Inquisition - 2nd place: DAI is just behind DA2 for me. According to Origin, I have spent over 360 hours on DAI alone (two full playthroughs and one partial that I plan to finish later). I love this game. Love my Inquisitors, love the companions, love the story. I prefer the combat here compared to DAO and DA2, though the tactical camera seriously doesn't zoom out enough. I do wish the game was more balanced between character-driven quests/cutscenes and aimlessly roaming the countryside. If the next game is this long with sooo many side quests, then I hope we have more time with our companions to balance things out. (And I know you don't have to do all the side quests, but you still need to do enough to get power for main missions and earn XP. Plus, I don't like to leave too much undone because I know by the time I get to the end, I am going to miss my Quizzy and wish to spend more time with them.) And I wanted Varric to be a romance option, dammit. Give me more Varric! I liked the DLCs quite a bit. Descent was surprisingly good, and unlike the deep roads from DAO that felt claustrophobic to me, I found these deep roads breathtaking. JoH is fun, with a beautiful location, and Trespasser is a really good epilogue to the game. I wish there was more companion content, but I guess I'm just being greedy at this point. Dragon Age 2 - 1st place: I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but to each their own, and so on. This is my favorite of the games because it has my favorite PC, my favorite companions, and my favorite story. I love taking Hawke from refugee, to Champion, and (unfortunately) back to refugee again after Kirkwall screws her over. I know some people prefer playing larger-than-life heroes, but the fact that Hawke has so little control over what happens to her and her friends is precisely why she is my favorite PC. She feels so much more real to me than either the Warden or the Inquisitor. She doesn't have her own army, or her own castle, or treaties compelling a bunch of ingrates to provide her with troops. She does the best she can with her small band of followers whose loyalty she has earned just by being herself. Also, this. I think DA2's balance between companion-driven quests and "other" is very good. I really enjoyed MotA for the humor and Legacy for the Hawke family history and intro to Corypheus. I don't like the recycled environments or the endless waves of squishy enemies that appear during combat, but that isn't enough to drop this game out of my top spot. i like you sir a lot for this. Glad there are more like me.

I love all three of them, and I find it extremely difficult to rank them. But my list would be: DA:I - Because that is the game I was hooked on the most. Also, in my eyes the most beautiful game I have ever played. And wonderful music. And awesome characters, with for the most part flawless voice acting. I loved that we finally got to learn more about the ancient elves and such. It's my second favorite game of all time. Only beaten by The Longest Journey. DA2 - I actually loved the storytelling, I loved Hawke, I loved the companions. A really enjoyable game to me. DA:O - So much nostalgia. Beautiful music. Some of the most beautiful moments I have experienced in gaming. And it has Leliana romance.

1. Origins - The Blight is easily the most compelling enemy of any of the DA games and the Grey Wardens their most compelling heroes. The Origin stories on top of the main story just gave this game so much depth, so many layers.
2. DA2 - Hawke is a neat hero, Varric the ultimate sidekick. Kirkwall was a wonderfully developed, gritty city. The story was strong in Acts 1 and 2, but Act 3 had problems. I loved the mood music.
3. Inquisition - Aesthetically beautiful thanks to Frostbite engine, but rather anticlimactic ending to the Mage-Templar war. Cory not as compelling a villain as the Blight. Note, I've not done Trespasser yet, so who knows if that will change things for me.
