    Unlike Mass Effect, Dragon Age was never a good game. 1 looked like an OG Xbox game instead of 360 and 2 was just awful.

        I guess, unless you played literally any other RPG up until that time. Every single plot twist had been telegraphed and done before by better games.

          True, but that works for books and writers too, not just for games. The story might not be one of the bests, however they managed to make a great game if you consider it in its all. I can say I definitely enjoyed DAO more than Dungeon Siege 1&2, even though I liked them a lot. And I prefer isometric to any other angle any time.

          Here is an unrelated anecdote: The first Witcher game was going to be isometric initially but they decided to go with third-person view. Looking at Witcher 3, it was a good call. Though can’t help myself imagining how would it like with isometric view.

      Agree with DA2 and inquisition but DA: Origins was a great game. Graphics don’t make the game but they weren’t that bad.
