Was a Disaster in the Making
I've done 2 play throughs of the game, doing each side of the coin... It's amazing how a company can come in and totally wreck a Game franchise.. I've played all the Dragon Age games from the time they first came out... The narrative, storyline, characters, rating are all a huge disappointment. If it was kept a true "M" rating game and everything not "Dumbed" down, the game may of had a different outcome.
Gone were the "Choices Matter", the dark side, the ability of being able to play as one wished. In came the Lets make a Lions King RPG, the Dudley Do Right narrative, that I wished I could've loaded them all on a bus and find the nearest cliffside. The bad guys deserved this win.
Instead of playing to the 5-10 year old gaming community, you should of left it alone with the formula that carried this game for years, with people waiting with baited breath for the next installment. Really 10 years to make this pathetic excuse of a game and the "Screw" the player base that carried you through all these years. It really goes to show that you only think of yourselves and not the aforementioned player base. You truly got what you deserved.
In closing, I've seen more romance on cue cards, bigger breasts on birds and more player interaction in a Donkey Kong game. The only slight improvement was the graphics, but don't pat yourselves on the back for that. The characters should of been more enticing in the looks department, when fingernail polish on my fingernails was a better option.

Signed...... Severely Disappointment

This was clearly them salvaging design from that online POS, and yes it's an insult to all of us. Not the only one lately.

I waited 10 years for THIS. Whatever it is, it's an insult to every previous Dragon Age game. Worse than Dragon Age 2.
Then we will find people solas don't know... By recruiting the people Solas do know most of all.

Yeah the writing wore me down...
The game isnt great ;p But its a final part of the story and I just wanted to enjoy it, and I did ;p But I dont know how did you manage a second play through, I was thinking to do that but there are hardly any choices at all and most of them hardly makes a difference ;p I figured Ill just pass.

I am kind of disappointed about that. I mean, it kind of matters if you choose Docktown or Treviso and you can harden either Neve or Lucanis, but they missed the opportunity they should have taken and allowed the Dialogue between Rook and Taash to harden her to the ways of a Qunari woman or leave her soft Rivaini in her feelings like she's not really a woman, so calling her non-binary. That would have made that whole thing about Taash not be so cringe and the choices matter.

I can't think of any other choices that actually matter in this game.

I concur 100%. They really squandered a 10-year opportunity to make something brilliant. As games go, it's not bad, but they 'done ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up' for a Dragon Age game with the whole safe, teeny-bop approach. 🤮
The modern audience isn't even defending this game anymore lol
Gamer played through the entire game TWICE and says it's not for them. Really think you're missing the point.

It was a glorified reddit fanfic. Writers these days are hacks.
