- I spent 15 Hours playing Dragon Age Inquisition to answer the question "Is Dragon Age Inquisition Worth It In 2024?"
With the coming of Dragon Age Dread Wolf, the fourth installment in the Dragon Age Series of RPG Games made by Bioware, I thought it would be a great idea to come back to this 2014 Game of the Year Winner and see how it holds up on it's own today.
This is just the first impressions, but a Dragon Age Inquisition Review will be up on this channel very soon!
So, is Dragon Age Inquisition Worth Playing In 2024? Let's find out!

Who's here after epicgames announce it for free ?
me
Idk is it worth it ? 👀
@@MjSantoSx its free
me haha
play it online i never played the story
Your review would be a lot more useful if you spent more time talking about your experience of the game and less time what happens in the story.
I mean its free on epic rn
and now I just got spoiled be cause this idiot doesn't know what a review is
Who is here because its free on epic games?
It's free?
@@whateverwhatever4476It's not free anymore, the offer is end last night
@@whateverwhatever4476 it was
Most of area quest are made mmo quest because EA wanted Dragon age inquisition to be a MMO. Bioware had to fight to change the mind of ea and made inquisition a rpg. Fortunately the main story and allied quest are really good. The main quest "Wicked eyes and wicked hearts" is in my opinion the best of the game
I actually had a similar experience back when this game came out. Hinterlands very much overstayed it's welcome and when I finally got to owning your own headquarters I was so excited. Then I got a bug crash when you meet the DA2 main character and I just called it there lol. I think that bug has since been fixed but I was so annoyed by that time that I went on to something else.
At some point, I'd like to revisit the game and maybe just run it through on easy difficulty since I really enjoyed the previous 2 dragon age titles for the story more than the gameplay haha. It's crazy that you only played 15 hours and so much seemingly happens in the story. I believe the full game is actually much longer if I remember correctly?
Thanks for the video!
Currently working on the DLCs and I'm about 60 hours in so far at the end of Jaws of Hakkon. I believe each DLC is about 5 hours each so I think I'll top off my first full playthrough at 70 - 75 hours and then I'll try out other classes and races.
It's unfortunate you encountered that bug. Aside from visual bugs like Blackwall t-posing in the background of a cutscene, I only encountered one major bug not allowing me to select a dialogue option very early in the game and then never again.
Anyway I thought this was pretty decent, I've never played the earlier titles so I really don't have much to compare it to but it was a fun world to get into!
I remember that bug! I remember that’s why I quit playing DA I think each version had a game breaking bug or maybe Mr Xbox had the ring of death. I don’t remember but kinda do?!? 😂
I recently replayed this by downloading the PS4 version on my PS5. I still love and enjoy it. And I have played Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II. I’m not biased and play each game on its merits. I like Dragon Age Inquisition for what it is, a new story in the Dragon Age universe.
Although I did wish we could have had more of Morrigan and Liliana.
My GF is playing Dragon Age 2 right now and she's been enjoying it a lot! Makes me excited to try out the older games after I'm finished with Dragon's Dogma 2.
Although I will be starting with Origins just to do the story in order, and then I'll probably replay Inquisition with an imported world state right before Dreadwolf.
@@Kaganath its worthwhile starting with Origins and playing through it to get a World state. I found that really enjoyable
Wish the games were on the switch. I would buy it right now
Yes, it's worth it!
I started playing again recently, and since I got the Goty version I'm playing with the DLCs, which I didn't have before
Have fun!
After purchasing a brand new high-end computer, I eagerly searched for RPG games that I could spend hundreds of hours playing. I recently purchased and began playing Inquisition. After some time, perhaps due to a large amount of time spent in Hinterlands, I became overly bored that I began looking for new games to play. While I believe it is wonderful to help a fledgling organization become the powerhouse that shapes Thedas' future, I do not like to fill my journal with hundreds of quests requiring me to visit the questgiver in order to complete them. Even though I do not necessarily call it trash, seeing Hawke brought back good memories of DA2. My focus on the plot diminished to the point where I would jump between Hinterlands, Skyhold, then Ral Voyeaux back and forth. The game no longer makes sense to me and I don’t know if I even want to finish it. Because I don’t care to remember the name of the quest, every time I try to locate it in Journal full of side quests, I become frustrated to the point where I want to punch a hole in the screen. Daggerfall was the beginning of my RPG passion, which was followed by Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. As for Origins and Two, I did not find them to be as overwhelming and tedious as Inquisition. There is no point in playing this game for me, I understand. I do not condemn it, but I try my best to respect those who do.
Thanks for sharing, your point is very understandable for this game. I do hope they tone down the tedious aspects of Inquisition in Dreadwolf since this game was released in a time where those tedious mechanics were being popularized by devs like Ubisoft in the open-world genre.
Yeah Inquisiton just feels like a completely different game than 2 and Origins. Whatever that is, it's not for me.
i really liked your video style, the editing and your narration. Very well made, keep it up!
Thanks! I really enjoy this format since I can play the game without being distracted by trying to commentate live, so it's a big win!
@@Kaganath just next time do a spoiler warning
Maybe I'm just not an fps connoisseur, but the vertical bars seen during cutscenes are really noticeable.
I’m playing it right now and I’m enjoying it very much
How is this on PS4?
I guess i am built differently.
I like it when the overall worlds are massive, seperated but each area has an immense amount of things you can do.
It always keeps my anticipation factor high because i know i am accomplishing alot in this one area before moving on.
Usually i will stay in one area even in open world RPG'S that will allow me to move on UNTIL i have completed everything that area has to offer.
Unless the story is staggered between many different areas. I tend to really like that. I think that generally has a better affect on the audience also, because most people have the attention span of a dog. Anyway. Great vid.
Thank you! Despite the negatives I still love Inquisition, and it still has a massive fanbase. Even if they continue with the same formula I'm gonna be there happy excited for when Dreadwolf eventually comes out!
So, it's very much like a watered-down version of origins with a base management system. And then an extra 30 hours of gameplay added that could have been cut to 12 hours. As a teenager, when it came out, I didn't mind it. I had way more free time. As an adult, it's almost impossible to enjoy without mods to cut out some of that waiting. They also watered down the spell combos and other combat (in my opinion) to the point that just playing on anything besides easy is just not that engaging. Now, don't get me wrong. I still love it, but if DA4 is similar, I will be very bummed. I would rather have a remaster of origins at this point with console mod access. Bring back the origins system, the interactive combos, a better traveling mechanic, and maybe flesh out the crafting mechanics besides the weird shit that was in Inquisition, and I would be sooo hyped for DA4. Will they do that? Probably not, it is EA after all...
Very excited to see what people loved about Origins when I do play it. It's one of those games I've always had in the backlog but just never freed up the time to play.
@Kaganath as long as you go in with the mindset that it's an older game and has bugs, it will be a great RPG experience. I do recommend installing some of the mods (if playing on pc) that address some of these issues. In my opinion, games like DA:O, Fallout New Vegas, and skyrim need community mods to get the full experience because RPG are soooo buggy because of their depth.
Unfortunately too many of the younger players seem to prefer the hand holding mindless gameplay of Dragon Age Inquisition versus the Deep meaningful systems of Dragon Age origins. I am a massive Dragon Age fan, and I can't even bring myself to play through Inquisition again. I 100% of that game, and I hated every minute of it
It's a great game. I recently bought this game for less than 3$ for my steam deck but hell this game got so much details - last time I experienced something like this was from Witcher 3. It holds up so well for 2024 because we got few games of this quality.
This game being given so much negativities by the ea launcher and by the crazy fans but honestly - if you never played DA and you like a good grind with this classic mmorpg with a little bit classic RTS feels but more action rpg oriented - go for this game. It's best with a controller IMO.
Inquisition veteran here, the game is a grind and the 3rd playthrough is when it's the most fun because you should have all your schematics for weapons and gear and upgrades. Once you do that, you can really max out stats, flesh out the mmorpg elements and enjoy it. You have all manner of crowd control, combos and class specializations. If you're good enough, you can solo nightmare difficulty without your party members if you want a real challenge.
I’m on my 6th run that’s how good it is
It's $3 on PSN right now, hurry up and buy
Its on sale very often, I also wonder if it's worth my time even if it's cheap. Would you say it is (I generally don't like RPG's, JRPG's and turn based ones specifically)
How do you find it for so cheap? I can only find $39 and $35 with ea
@@xGeorgieboy the EA discount isn't always more.
Everything ain’t for everybody
I bought it a year ago for less than 7 euros. Best 7 dollars I've spent in a while, I put more than 200 hours into this game playing only 1 character, and I'm planning to create a new type of character for a replay one of these days.
Played this game so many times. Very good and well worth it.
Who is here after epic games?😅
I’m watching this cuz this game is free on epicgames and I’m thinking of downloading it but I don’t wanna waste my storage and time if the game is bad
Same.
Exactly why I am here as well. But, after reading a few comments(I didn't watch full video)..I am convinced, I'm gonna download.
I purchased dragon age inquisition game of the year edition for $4.34 on PS5 from planet of the discounts & it’s available on xbox game pass on my xbox series x as well.🥂😎
Ill never understand how "Content bloat" is considered a bad thing. Its optional, you don't have to engage with it, but its there if you want to get the most out of the gaming experience. Currently its on sale for 4 dollars, good/bad whatever 4 bucks is worth it. ( I also remember the game being good in 2014.)
3:10 This guy gets it. He gets the difference between satifying and unsatisfying combat.
the same deal for me i got burned out in Hinterlands
I played all the Dragon Age games and by far Inquisition is the best game by a land slide! I played all the story lines from the original to the last and even though the original has an excellent storyline and lore Inquisition gets you excited to play the game. From the theme song, and the story line of your character has a unique take by leaving you feeling as if you have a true purpose when faced with the original villain from the previous title. Also, building up your fort and carefully following the sub characters story lines brings you in deeper into the plot of the storyline. Originally, I had the game on the Ps4 but my console was damaged and so I recently decided to purchase the same game from the Epic game store but on my windows laptop.
One strong recommendation would tell anyone is if your only goal is to purchase the game only don't buy the game on the Microsoft platform if you decide to use a PC because you have only 2 options to play this game. If you want to play the PC version you are required to pay the monthly XBOX game pass in order to play Dragon Age Inquisition. You are better off going directly to Epic Games and purchase the game directly from their game store. I can't comment on Steam, so I don't know.
At the moment I am trying to figure out if I can use my Nintendo Switch Pro controller on my PC in order to play the game. I have a feeling I may need to go to GameStop and purchase a MicroSoft Controller instead.
Has anyone used the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for playing PC Games? If so please let me know if this can be done? Anyways great video on this game!
Lastly, if you visit my channel, I have recordings of Dragon Age Inquisition recorded from 2017 when I first played this game.
Inquisition is Dragon Age in name only. That game is garbage
@@jmmywyf4lyf well if you didn't like the game that's perfectly fine. You are entitled to what you like and dislike. Not everyone will share the same likes and dislikes. Maybe the proper response would be share what games you did like. For example maybe you like Mass Effect? Explain why you liked it. Maybe you sharing why you like something would benefit some one else versus say I don't like something doesn't server anything. Just a thought.
its on sale on steam for 5.99 as of right now, but the sale wont last long
Good review but missing one key element, difficulty. Is it easy and suitable for a beginner or is it soulslike difficult?
its your run of the mill RPG, just choose easy difficulty and you’ll breeze thru.
What I find more surprising is that Dragon Age Keep is still active in 2024.
Highly recommend using mods, mainly QOL mods like removing most of the shards and shorter war table missions
Yeah definitely lol I used 13 mods plus a game save editor to give myself a lot of power so I can play story missions in peace
@sad-frosty4462 just he careful using frosty Texture mods. They can cause issues
@RedHoodFH I just used mods to skip the mindless grind that's all but hey is it me or inquisitions charachter creation is ugly or smth i keep wondering should I use a mod for it or not
@sad-frosty4462 super ugly lol I use a decent amount of hair and creation mods as well as complexion mods for companions.
@RedHoodFH so it is true lol I thought I was going crazy well thanks for the heads up then I'm playing to replay it again definitely moding the heck out of it
For free on Epic today, for sure!
the game is free on the epic store right now 👍
You just explained the story from the first 3 hours
I would've continued playing it if I didn't have to move the camera with keyboard rather than mouse like a normal friggin game.
Definitely worth it. I'm currently on my 105 hours play time with this game. I hope they make a full hack and slash combat system next time. And a better combat options for NPCs.
I wish I could play as a "Uman"
This is still better than that new crap they just announced.
I didn't like this game but I had to play through it and the DLC at least two times because I desperately wanted to like it. The DLC is excellent just the main game is bad IMO.
To be fair, I played the first two games which had incredible writing so I was expecting another DA game with amazing story writing. Some of DAI is amazing but there are too many points where the writing is awful that the main game just doesn't work with the other two games. That it is also a off-line single player MMO is enough to wreck this game. I hope someone fixes this game someday because it could easily be great with a lot of love.
Such a good game
no lol
in this video you mentioned things like immersion but the immersion is only good if youre playing a non magical human and side with templars. if you had been playing a mage or a non-human race your immersion would be tramped upon to make the story better for the perspective of nonmagical human players as your character faces dialogue tree after dialogue tree of things that only make sense if you either dont have magic or happen to be a human. if you play a qunari youre lucky if anyone even references it
you also mentioned not playing either of the sequels to dragon age. your immersion would probably be taken down a few notches every time the game contradicted one of the choices you made in previous games, which is A LOT. whether its from resurrecting characters you killed or just flat out retconning things you did. now that baldurs gate 3 is out i dont think im ever going to touch the dragon age sequels again. as far as im concerned, it is the sequel to dragon age origins.
Unfortunately I did play a non magical human and sided with the templars so I got the exact experience. Doesn't importing world state transfer over the decisions you make in the previous games or is it still bad for OG players even with imported world states? Genuinely curious as I thought this installment was decent on it's own.
@@Kaganathimporting world state is supposed to transfer over the decisions you make, but in practice only a few get a sentence of recognition while some of the biggest decisions you make just flat out get removed or changed.
my last inquisition playthrough i tried to play an elf mage, which gives you the keepers apprentice backstory. this means your character is supposed to be well versed in all the elven ways from history religion magic etc, yet everyone addressed her as if she was human. in that playthrough: random humans corrected her on elven history, they need to tell her what goddess she worshipped, the other elves called her an outsider, etc... its just a mess
this game might be alright on its own, ive only ever played it as part of a trilogy. the main villain of inquisition is kinda boring and there are so many time wasting mechanics, so i think the first dragon age game is still way better.
I swear I thought I was the only one that noticed this. I was so excited to play as a Qunari mage and less than ten minutes into the game I had to switch to something else because it just didn’t make sense. I also played as an elf which wasn’t as bad but I still had to do some pretty extensive head cannoning to give my character an excuse to join a cult for a god she doesn’t believe in populated by humans who have been actively repressing her people and culture for centuries. Casandra tells your Dalish elf that they should just adopt the Maker into their pantheon and the game treats it like it’s some kind of mic drop moment. The game just isn’t smart enough to grapple with its own set up.
You can tell they wrote a single canon story and then added only a light sprinkling of flavor text for anything that wasn’t the canon story. The Inquisitor is a human that has the ability to cosplay as multiple other races. That’s how BioWare gave us the illusion of choice in DA:I.
And today this game is free in epic vault events 😂
I have to try a different video im sorry you just sound bored talking about it
Yes it is.
i mean its free on epic now
Awesome game.
Yes.
I've been strugglibg to replay this game for the last five years or so. 😂 Thank goodness Dreadwolf keeps getting delayed.
It struck an uncomfortable spot where it feels like it got the worst of both worlds. An open world mmo with too little worthwhile content or story to keep it intetesting.
Same with the combat which is more sluggish than DAO with less control than DA2.
This game will always be worth it
Free on Epic today
R u sure?
@@kamikrazy1 yes. In two hours
It's in the vault
how did u know?
@@darshan00480 got leaked
i've had enough spoilers in 1 video
it's free on epic
This was more of a story recap instead of a review
Free on epic now.
Free on Epic from today
W Epic
so they essentially cut the cutscene which means it's a sad salad.
this video is gonna get a huge spike in views epic games just gave this game away for free
Only people that are interested in the game will probably watch the video. A lot people nowadays aren't really into rpg games it seems.
Graphically looks better than dragon's dogma 2
no it literally doesnt
ITS FREE ON THE EPIC GAMES LAUNCHER!!!
The content of the video doesn't match the title.
Chooses the most basic RPG job class known to man, then complains that the combat feels too basic. Hmm...
I got bored after 4hrs , feels like I'm playing a MMO, tedious crafting system, little to no exploration
Is it worth it? not here is 100% of the story and spoilers. FFS!!!
THE GAME IS NOW FREE LOL
we can see what's happening you don't have to explain everything as it happens...Smh
epic giveaway this trash😶
ong
Time to change your name to The HalfWit
No. It is not worth it. Do not waste your money.
I heard the word "action" and that's all I needed to hear. Not interested, thanks.
Origins is the only Dragon Age that was ever worth it.
it wasnt ever worth it when it came out
Dragon Age Inquisition was garbage. And the fact that people applied it as a good game, only makes me worried that dreadwolf is going to be even worse. Dragon Age Inquisition was even worse than Dragon Age 2
It was a horrible game 10 years ago. I am pretty sure it's still a horrible game in 2024
overly dramatic much. c'mon dude.
E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial or superman 64 or suicide squad are horrible burning trash piles. this one is a slow as a snail on acid doing circles around my salat but otherwise. pretty alright.
the world rly isn't that black and white unfortunately.
L
The game is actually really damn good if you take the time to play.
@@zay_tiggygaming I took my time to play it. Over 100 hours. It's a single player MMO that feels like a chore to play and it's offensive to anyone who worked on and loved Dragon Age Origins which is a classic. It's incomparable.
@@ElVnugo this was my first one and I've never played origins. Where can I experience that one?
