Literally the worst installment of the Dragon Age series. The only reason I'm not giving it a 0/5 is because it runs.
* Writing is extremely poor, characters repeat themselves at least 20 times in a single conversation, treating the player like they're a special needs kid.
* Story is jumbled and all over the place, makes no logical sense, they've mixed-matched from previous dragon age and you MUST own the DLC to know what the hell's going on.
* Characters have generic washed out personalities. Not a single memorable character or a character that you will get emotionally attached to.
* Gameplay was boring as hell. You only get to control 1 character, which is a massive downgrade from previous games. You can give commands to your team at least... Game is extremely easy, repetitive and by the time you get to the end you'll forget 90% of what you've done to get there.
* Graphics, oh god the graphics.
To quote the Godfather: "Look how they massacred my boy". They went from semi-realism to... Fortnite. The graphics in this game are extremely stylized and cartoony, I guess so they can appeal to special needs kids. Did we all forget Dragon Age was one of the most violent gory realistic fantasy games at the time?
* Real World Politics infested. I'm not kidding. Every inch of this game is infested with political garbage. Can't have gore because China hates gore, Can't have actually evil sadistic enemies aka Villains because "everyone has trauma and you need to respect people regardless of choices", Can't have witty humor because comedy is offensive.
Every edge and inch of this game has been rounded, softened, and baby-proofed. So they can appeal to Every audience without offending anyone.
Oh and I know i'm gonna get hate for this, but I don't care.
In one of the endings, they've decided to make your character Trans.
Because that's what a magical fantasy world with dragons and demons needed... gender politics. There's literally a section in the game where your character is forced to do push-ups for "Assuming someone's gender." WHAT?
(what makes it even more dumb is that in the next scene the Writers put the wrong gender in the subtitles, clearly they didn't pay attention to their own Bull***t politics.)
