I’ve always been of the mind that ever since the release of Origins, the devs over at Bioware never quite knew where they were going with the story, a shortcoming that’s only detrimental to a studio that prides itself on gripping plot and character development.ĭragon Age Origins showcased the best plot the series has yet to offer. It’s an uncomfortably peculiar thing to say about what has been thus far a rather enjoyable series of competently made games. Bioware and more recently EA flirted with greatness but never quite got there, which is why, three games in, the announcement of a fourth installment has me leaning towards trepidatious indifference. Even at its peak, the Dragon Age titles have always seemed to pale in comparison to other triple A titles like Skyrim and especially The Witcher 3. Nevertheless, none of the three titles have risen above “good” or sunken below enough to warrant a definitive stand out. Dragon Age Inquisition is an impressive entry in its own right, largely improving upon what worked in Origins and its sequel whilst adding a striking open world feature. Others might herald Dragon Age 2, praising its objectively smoother combat system and superior character animations. Some, myself included, might make a case for the first entry, Dragon Age Origins, and cite things like a fairly streamlined plot and memorable characters. The jury seems to still be out amongst Dragon Age fans regarding the best title in the series.
