No way dudes. Inquisition isn't a very good game at all. Look I enjoyed it for what it is and pt 250 hours in it but it's not a good game but rather mediocre. The first game is still excellent. DAI has a really poor story that is nonsense. DAO had a turn-based battle system that was well crafted and DAI's combat is bad and went to just mash the trigger. The sidequests are meaningless and lead to nothing but act like they are. The environments are big but once you do the mission and kill the enemies they become vapid and pointless. Enemies don't respawn and it's just one big empty nothing in each region. Traversal is clumsy slow and you get caught up in geometry all the time. The whole plot is entirely the heroes fault and the main bad guy is a cartoon villain. It's not a bad game but it is by no means good either and NOT the best of the DA games, that still belongs to Origins. Origins keeping environments bite-sized as perfect for the story and type of game they wanted to make. DAI just followed a trend and gah gotta make it huge for bragging purposes. DAO still has the best characters. Quests meant something. DAI isn't structured very well and certainly not the best in the series.

You guys keep saying Inquisition, and I keep thinking you are talking about the game Inquisitor.

I say this genuinely and as a person who liked DAI..play Inquisitor instead. It's a better game, different but better.

Way too hardcore for these dudes.

I haven't played it either, but I do own the GOG version at least.

Clearly there needs to be more Zork: Grand Inquisitor in this discussion.

We need a real Inquisition to punish the blasphemers who insist that the Dreamcast isn't the best console of the 6th generation.

This I can agree with. PS2 didn't get Volgarr the Viking or Ghost Blade. Fuck you PS2, Xbox and Gamecube! Tho seriously DC is excellent. Fave system of all time to obsessive levels.

I have played a bit of Inquisitor. I wasn't terribly impressed. :(
