Dragon Age: Inquisition

Dragon Age Inquisition Dragon

If you’ve been with Dragon Age from the very beginning then Dragon Age: Inquisition probably isn’t too difficult for you to grasp. But oh boy, if you’re coming in fresh with the newly released title good luck to you. There is just so much going on in the game that assumes the player knows about it already or is easy to understand.

From the moment you hit the Hinterlands for the first time you already have journal full of quests. Similar to Destiny, you’re collecting resources for some kind of future reason. There are a lot of skill trees between all of your party members and you’re often stuck buying abilities without knowing exactly how they will preform. Managing one skill tree can be complicated enough but in Dragon Age: Inquisition you have four to worry about each across multiple different characters.  Also, it’s easy to start racking up some power and influence without really knowing why you want them.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is great, but a physical manual could have solved a lot of the early bewilderment for new players. Oh, and that’s all without even talking about the game’s Tolkien-esque plot. Let’s leave that for another day.
