So, since I've been playing through Inquisition recently (Bought all the DLC) and loving it, I thought I'd make a thread for the Dragon Age series where we can shoot the shit about our choices, romances, and just things we like. Or don't like. I'm kinda surprised this thread wasn't made already, to be honest. It's such a great franchise, even with the visible missteps it's made.
To start out, I'm gonna say that my favorite game of the series is Inquisition. The plot isn't all that original and the villain isn't really all that interesting as others in the series have been, but the revamped combat system is never tiring and the companions feel more diverse than in previous games. I like almost all of them. Origins still has the strongest narrative, but DA:I just feels like the game that took the best parts of the previous two and made them work well together. Plus Varric shows up again.
For those not in the know, Varric is Dragon Age's version of Garrus from Mass Effect. The true Bro that always has your back, hell or high water, and just an all around badass. He's epic as fuck, and I take him with me everywhere.

Just finished Awakening and Witch Hunt for the first time, Awakening was great, Anders and Oghren where definitely the highlight of it and it had some difficult choices to make at the end. I thought Witch Hunt was a bit shite honestly, your companions are completely uninteresting and throw away the entire reason the elf goes with you leads to nothing, then there's the fact I finished it in like 30 minutes and literally the only part that interested me what so ever was the very end, and it lasted all of 2 minutes. Just started 2 now and I'm already enjoying the combat more, cant say much else other than that.

And yeah, Oghren and Anders were great. I hope you enjoy 2 more than I initially did, even though going back after quite a while I found myself enjoying it more.

I'm having fun with 2, not as much as I like DAO, not even close, but still enjoying it. I'm getting a little sick of how similar every dungeon looks though, they really needed more variance. Also Hawke is fuckin' awesome, especially when you be sarcastic Hawke, just how confused everyone gets when I crack jokes at completely inappropriate times is amazing. Gotta say, Hawke is waaaaaay better than Commander Shepard, he's just a more interesting and likeable character in every way.

Hawke is pretty great, especially sarcastic Hawke, but I'm not sure if I like Hawke more than Shepard. The dungeon thing was one of the main complaints of the game. It makes sense in-universe since you're faffing about Kirkwall for about 7 years straight, but that doesn't make it much more tolerable. So, any plans on a romance yet? Give us some juicy deets.

Eh, Aveline's too strict and going after some guardsman dude and I'd probably get 7 kinds of STDs from Isabella, which just leaves Merrill, and she's a bit a uh, nuts. So we'll see I guess. Nuts is better than STDs, right?

Just realised my Hawke looks a bit too much like Duncan. Ah well Duncan was cool. Picture with spoilers from the very start of the game:

Refuses to take responsibility for her actions. Just realised my Hawke looks a bit too much like Duncan. Ah well Duncan was cool. Picture with spoilers from the very start of the game: He really does look like Duncan. Which is certainly not a bad thing. Duncan was legit as hell.

I didn't have the option to duel him, so I think I'm fucked.
