Elder Scrolls Online or Dragon Age Inquisiton?

[Nino Crime Boss]

Well I know this is a somewhat odd pairing, but really I guess the REAL question is; is ESO: Unlimited worth the extra 30 bucks? Currently DA: Inquisition is 30 bucks and have been eyeing it for awhile, however I have been really excited for ESO: Unlimited and have heard its gotten incredibly wonderful.

So both games I have been excited for and from what i've seen, read and watched I would possibly enjoy both of them.

I guess my questions to help me decide are ( not expecting like a game review, just your guys' opinoins):

1: How is ESO's dungeon finding system? Do they have a system like LFG? Is it chat based or?

2: How is casual (by casual I mean busy scheduled player) end game in ESO? I love end game content and it's mainly why I play a lot of my MMOs. Is there anything for the players who love end game, but have a busy schedule? Like hard mode dungeons and such?

3: Player Armor Aesthetics. Does ESO have a transmog, wardrobe, gear look replacement system at all? I know there are tons of costumes, but can I change the look of combat gear while still keeping good stats?
3a: Does gear look good in ESO?

4: How is ESO's community? In ways of manners and being active?

5: How is ESO's pvp?

6: Is there anything in ESOs single player that stands out from other RPGs? Solo dungeons or anything?

7: Most simple question: ESO or DA: Inquisition?

Unless you are really really wanting to get an MMO. I would say Inquisition. From what I hear ESO didn't really do too good of a job at being an MMO.

Ya ESO was terrible ♥♥♥♥♥ when it wasn't Unlimited, but from what I've been reading the people who hated it before Unlimited, love it now which is why I wanted to get some opinoins. Plus I really enjoy Elder Scroll Combat style

Ah OK. I will check back later....who knows? Maybe I will hear enough to make me interested in it. I have just never been into MMO's though.

Of the two... Dragon Age Inquisiton. Its a mediocre game (nothing wrong with that), and you should at the very least get a few hours out of that one.

ESO is a terrible game and an even worse MMO. Unless all your friends are really into ESO, for some reason and you want to play with them, there is virtually no reason why you'd want to pick ESO... ever.

Have you played ESO Unlimited?

Wow.... Um... wait till something better comes out.
ESO isnt subscription anymore so maybe that would be better.

Personally Id advise your better off waiting for ES:6 or something els. Maybe look at Witcher 3.

I played it when it released and it told me all i ever need to know. There is no chance in hell they redesigned the entire game from ground up.

Fallout 4 was suposed to happen 'soon' but ESO hit. ESO was 'Never going f2p or losing the subscriptions' yet Fallout 4 still hasnt been even anounced and ESO went buy once... how many months did they make it?

Witcher was an example of a game with better combat system and arguably better story.
Idk about ESO. I dont support good single player games going MMO because the concepts regaurding almsot everything an MMO has to do to be workable ruin the single player game its based off. TES never has had great controls or responcive combat, making it an MMO is the oposit of helping.
Aside from ESO not being cannon or whatever I cannot speak to its content. I am aware that dispite its subscription there were +premium versions of the game and full cost DLCs within a month of release.

DragonAge:I is probly one of the worst games I have ever played. I laughed when I saw this thread, I thoought you must be joking. I wont say ESO is bad outwrite but DA:I is a whole different story.
Everything good about this game is hidden under mountains of crap. Look up some of the less fanboy reviews. People who point out whats good and whats bad. People who bother to spend the 100hours boasted and come out of it underwhelmed.
Its boring, full of micromanaging crap, the base story is cliche and uses recycled people places. The main villian is a character nobody even remembers from a DA:2 DLC.

DragonAge:I had amazing concepts and tried a lot of new things. The problem is that they appear to have done all these things like those people who change jobs every week. They started everything but finished nothing. The strategy aspect is academic nonsense besides the widely recognised complete failure when it comes to the actually controls of it.
-The combat was clearly designed to favor console gameplay, the PC controls are a cheap set of MMO style controls. Hold RM to look, TabTargetting etc etc.
-The characters are IMO GREAT! I love them. I love the ones I thought would be boring or crap, I h8 the ones I thought Id like and the whoel exp has been great. With that said, there involvment in the story nearly kills the point of there existance and the side stories start to get good then... there over. -_-
-Crafting is the core of gear in this game. Theres some good stuff to play with to be sure. Infnite looting of rocks in walls and cloth from fallen mobs never stops being the secondary focus of gameplay at all times. You will grind for everything, build crap then level up and scream at the screan when it gives you a blueprint for the next rier grind crap. With no NG+ theres hardly a point in maxing gear anyway. They boast 'post game content' but any true gamer knows thats a coppout.

---
I know thats a lot of text but Im not even getting started. For more info look up soem reviews.
If you only looking at those two games then I would advise you go with ESO. No matter how crap something is, doing it with friends always has value.
DA:I is a very shiny shallow piece of work. After taking a step back and looking at it well, it seems like a test for the new engine and a dumping zone for lore and plots they never used.
-I simply pointed out the Witcher as an example of 'other good games'. Suggesting you may want to look elswear.

Thats mostly all jsut IMO so take it as you will. Hope it helps.
