I spent several hours in the first location, The Hinterlands, collecting elfroot herbs and iron ore, setting up Inquisition camps, fighting enemies, and staking claims on landmarks before I realised that, if the situation was as dire as I had been told, then my Inquisitor was frolicking in the wilderness while demons poured through a hole in the sky and murdered people.
DRAGON AGE INQUISITION FOR PC REVIEW FULL
Locations are expansive and full of things to collect and quests to do. This constant tension clashes terribly with the desire to explore. There are allies to recruit, vital resources to find, situations to resolve. With the world under constant threat, the Inquisitor always has somewhere to be. Inquisition firmly positions players as the ultimate force of change in Thedas and then unleashes a flurry of challenges and obstacles. Inquisition seems a direct response to those who criticised Dragon Age II for its recycled locations and smaller, more personal narrative. The threats are severe-and only continue to escalate as the game progresses. Even though I was an outsider in a foreign land (playing a gay female dark elf also contributed to this ‘otherness’), the lovingly crafted world was still one that I felt deserved saving.ĭragon Age Inquisition is an exercise in scope. I had already become the Herald of Andraste, saviour of Thedas-it just wasn’t my Thedas.ĭragon Age Inquisition is packed full of lore most of the lore is references to the events of the previous instalments, but plenty of insight into other events-both dramatic and personal-is given, which helped me come to love this weird, alternate dimension. But I was too many hours in to turn back.
I had killed Branka in Origins there was no way that the Dwarven Assembly would deify such a person. It wasn’t until I encountered my first statute of Paragon Branka that I realised something was amiss. Inquisition is captivating even before the game begins. Revisiting my decisions and re-crafting my personal Dragon Age universe was an immensely enjoyable process I switched between the Keep window and the Dragon Age wiki, refreshing my memory of those adventures long past. I spent two hours tweaking the tapestry in Dragon Age Keep before embarking on Dragon Age Inquisition. Platform(s): PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC (reviewed)
