If you haven't played Dragon Age before, now is the perfect time to try since Dragon Age: Origins is being given away free on Origin.
Also Bioware designed some Tarot cards which you can only get by buying the Inquisitor Edition at Gamestop (boo), but guess which couple was used to portray The Lovers?

Multiplayer is going to be like this but with Qunari.

The first time I played origins it took me like sixty? hours to beat it and when I did, the credits rolled, the game went back to main menu, and I immediately started up a new file, beat that one in twenty, credits rolled, started up a new file, and beat the game a third time. It's the only game I've ever gotten all the achievements for.
I'm gonna buy a ps4 for this when it comes out. So gay, you guys. So gay. If I could marry a video game we would me mister and missus dragon age. Fenris is my waifu. And morrigan. And merrill. And...
I think the open world transition has a lot of potential; I hope it works out well.

but fuck Origin's Deep Roads segment
that was a long road of bullshit
I'm mostly with you on this. I think the number one thing I wish they'd done better was the equipment system. It isn't terrible in DA2, but one of the things I really liked in Origins was getting that dragon armor for doing some of the optional content. It wouldn't really fit with how DA2 was set up, necessarily, but a more in depth equipment system in Inquisition sounds pretty cool.
DA2 is a weird thing for me. On the one hand, I like the combat, I like the way companion relationships are handled, I liked the rivalry/friendship dichotomy, I love the characters, I love the underlying theme that despite being a pretty cool lady you are still just one person and yet, I did find the ending unsatisfying. Even though I totally approved and appreciated it, I just couldn't get myself to play that game as much as I'd played others - not even as much as I'd played DA:O which has super tedious combat to me.

honestly I feel "long road of bullshit" applies to a lot of the content in Origins
just thinking about going back to that forest makes me upset
I found the gameplay in DA2 somewhat repetitive, and the limited number of environments made the world feel much smaller than Origins.
Also I liked being able to play as a Dwarf or Elf, etc. in the first game a lot. The eponymous origin stories were some of the best parts of DA:O. While I get why DA2 limits your choices there, to tell a more specific story, I still felt less ownership over the narrative and my character in that game for that reason (at least partially). It's still a game I really enjoyed.
Oh yeah, I did forget about that. I liked being able to play different species. Looking forward to DA:I bringing that back

Oghren and Shale are pretty top-tier companions though.

I really liked Origins, but have a difficult time playing it through again due to the length of some of the levels and the greater time commitment. As repetitive as the dungeons in II can be, at least you can trek through them more quickly.

and I liked that over the years, you could see the DA2 companions talk about when they would hang out or play cards
loved that stuff
Well, except for Oghren who keeps showing up drunk on your doorstep needing a place to crash.

I love DA2 though and I am really excited for this despite knowing almost nothing about it to this point.
Out of curiosity, did you play Origins before you played DA2, or after?
I feel like if I played 2 first I would have really hated 1.

looked better, played better, pacing was better, characters were better
love that game yo
I played Origins first and I feel like I got through large parts of it out of sheer force of will. I'd love to go back and go through the climax of that game again but getting to that point feels like a giant pain in the ass.
before
But everything about it was so clunky and filled with bizarre design choices and honestly it's worst sin is just how horribly it was paced. Every single area of that game is so fucking long and often very tedious.
DA2 fixed a lot of that and gave me an actual character to play with well fleshed out characters to bounce of and interact with.
but I don't think I can ever play it again
well that is the mark of a real rpg
They both have their good points! Maybe DA:I will be a mix of the best elements of both games plus more good stuff! At least that's what I'm hoping for.

like, the combat seems a mix of the more interesting powers and combat mechanics from two with better encounter design, the customization stuff looks really neat, they brought back varric...
My reservations lie with a return to epicness
I will most likely be grabbing it just prior to it's release in November. My only regret is that I have, it seems, no way of getting my Warden or Hawke save wise as I am playing on my PC this time as opposed to the PS3. It would be nice to have a Mass Effect style fan made save editor.
