It took me around 75 hours but today I finally beat this game. It was not perfect and I did not love it as much as The Witcher games. Still this game was damn good and is perhaps the best dragon age game to date. My main complaints about it that I did not like the combat, the game did not have day/night cycles, final boss was intimidating only for a short while despite trying to become a god. War table operations took hours of real time to complete. Crafting at first seemed to be too overwhelming and complex. With that being said I really enjoyed the story. My character wanted to rule the world and by roleplaying him I was able to come close to achieving this goal. I started a as an outcast suspected for a terrible crime I did not commit. But as time went I saved the world( just so I could rule it) and gained control of very powerful organisation. So my character basically became a divine king. That was funny because our enemy sought godhood and my character was non believer. He even romanced Dorian mainly because he thought that such blasphemous relationship would piss off local Chantry and it's religious followers. My character fought and killed many dangerous beings. Demons, High Dragons, would be gods... all of them fell in his wake. This story was full of betrays and political intrigues. My character loved, killed and played a game of thrones. He did this well and by the end of the game nearly all remaining figures were his pawns or puppet leaders. This was a glorious triumph. The game brought back some fans (and my) favorite characters from previous games. It also introduced some fascinating new characters. The story was about saving the world but I was able to play more or less the character I chose to play. All in all I really liked the game and the story of my outcast atheist who reached the throne. I give this game a solid 8+. And I hope that I will enjoy Dragon Age: The Veilguard( once it will come in a few months).
