My friends, some time ago, I stated Dragon Age: Inquisition wanted to be Skyrim and was not an intellectual tactical game for adults. Having read the gamespot preview in which Keven Sorbo is incredibly cynical and dubious about his impressions, it seems clear, I was right, again.

"But I also suspect that BioWare wants to distance itself from the games of its past--Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, namely--and be mentioned in the same breath as Elder Scrolls. Lee's words reinforce this notion. "Gaming's moved on from Neverwinter Nights, we've moved on from Baldur's Gate," he says"

"When you think of Baldur's Gate, when you think of Neverwinter Nights, RPG mechanics, staples that make an RPG, like crafting and exploration and character customization, and all the different things that you do, that's all in here as well. A lot of the action RPGS out there don't have that. Some games don't have crafting. Some games don't have character customization and you're given a fixed character. Some games don't have a massive story and something that impacts the world.""

"It's bullet time, Dragon Age style, and it greatly eases the battle's challenge"

"In the end, the whole battle is all too simple, though it doesn't seem right to complain that easy mode is, well, easy. I summon a horse with the press of a button and leap upon it"

"So much of Dragon Age: Inquisition seems tailored to what interests the largest number of potential players"

Sounds right up your alley in that case

  • No, we haven't moved on from NWN, BG.....I'm playing Divinity now, it's very much in their spirit
  • I still think dragon age 3 will be good, but these PR guys just love saying skyrim because it will help appeal to the massive TES audience

The only thing to discuss is you still make crappy threads, we've known since they showed off DA3 that it was looking to mimic Skyrim

Yet you only say it now. After I predicted it. Coincidence?

Bleh Divinity:OS is looking more and more appealing. Brain won't let me buy it for whatever reason.

I still hope inquisition turns out something close to origins. In terms of combat.

lol you "predicted" nothing.

My friend, I predicted tablets when watching star trek more than 20 years ago.

At the time (as with today) people scorned, scoffed, mocked.. Alas, they now now they play angry birds on them.

I predicted it with Dragon Age: Origins as soon as the franchise was announced for consoles.

My faith in greed never wavered. Thus, I was proven right, years in advance.

Very impressive.

The Falkland war only lasted a few days. It was a pretty easy war tbh.

inquisition looks hell of a lot better than skyrim..

i think witcher is way better than skyrim.

skyrim is ok

and looking at the 16 minute gameplay vid, it is not skyrim or dragon age 2..it looks closer to da o (which is a good thing)

Yep, a child of the 90's that's a veteran of a 1982 war. Very impressive

DA2 isn't as bad as people make it out to be, it's not as good as the first one but I did enjoy it.

This farce for TC to self aggrandize himself as a "prophet" ends now.
