Going into the game, I was very excited. I love Bioware games and RPG’s in general. I tried to avoid looking at others opinions because I knew that they would include a lot of negativity. I did not care if other people liked it or not, I was the one playing it. I played alone and tried to avoid going online for the game.
Playing the game fulfilled my expectations. I did not even notice the passing of time. The experience gave me that pleasure and escape because it involved more thought and more adventure than another experience might have. I had to make choices that could affect my game and potentially ruin my inquisition. When I had to stop playing, I did not want to. I was having fun and did not want to go back to studying and writing papers, I wanted to continue to close rifts and fight the red Templars and dark spawn.
I think that the purpose of entertainment in popular culture is to keep us from realizing when our lives get boring. I was stressed and growing more and more so by the day but was given a way to pretend that I did not have those problems, if only for a little bit.
Love the game, amazing advancement on the dialog system that isn't simply "good" or "bad". Only problem I have is that the game drags on a little long and is too fetch quest-y if you don't constantly continue with the main quest. I look forward to more DA games, although let's face it Mass Effect is Bioware's best series.
