Dragon Age Inquisition review — the best game in the series (2024)

I loved the story of Dragon Age Inquisition and, personally, I feel it contains the best storyline out of any of the Dragon Age games so far. I felt it was filled with lots of engaging moments, brought back some of the most iconic characters from previous Dragon Age games, and had my jaw on the floor on multiple occasions.

The character creator provides a lot of options to use, yet it somehow lacks for me. While I was happy with how my character ended up looking, it took a lot of work to get there. The game seems to have a distinct problem with hair, it all just looks sad and in serious need of a revamp. Give me more options BioWare!

I played most of Dragon Age Inquisition as an archer. Normally, archer classes get slept on and their moves tend to be a little one-note like in Dragon's Dogma or Skyrim. However, I think Dragon Age Inquisition managed to knock it out of the park. I never felt bored or wanted to switch up my class. I had plenty of special moves to work with and it was a blast zipping around the battlefield firing arrows at every chance I could.

My advice to new players is to leave this area as soon as possible and return to it later. In doing this, my enjoyment with the game skyrocketed and I was able to level and progress at a much easier pace. BioWare likely designed it this way to push players to leave and actually explore the rest of the game. Which is pretty smart, I must say.

One of the best side activities the game offers is the many different Fade Rifts that have opened up due to the huge Breach in the sky. These rifts play like mini waves of enemies that you must defeat to close off the Fade Rift. Seeing as the combat in Dragon Age Inquisition is so tasty, it makes sense as to why these are so addictive to complete, providing a sense of satisfaction whenever you manage to close one of these rifts off for good.

His story and journey really resonated with me — his trouble with his dad, his sexuality, and just trying to find his place in the world. It was all beautifully told and made me appreciate Dorian. On top of that, the romance scenes with him were fantastic and helped to wrap up his storyline with a nice little bow on top.
