♥♥♥♥♥. Я заплакал.

Эта легенда вытащила меня из игровой импотенции.

Выпущена в 97 и до сих пор, почти 30 лет спустя после выхода, играется с невероятным удовольствием.

Хочется высказаться в защиту игры, так как замечаю огромное количество негативных отзывов, основанием которых являются только баги.

В большинстве только вышедших в релиз игр встречаются баги, если вас шокируют или удивляют такие вещи, подождите пару месяцев, а потом играйте. Не у всех студий есть огромные ресурсы по шлифовке игр через демки (привет Ларианам), и исключая не такое уж и огромное количество багов (за 80 часов игры мне приходилось перезагружаться не более 5 раз), игра великолепна. В истинном духе crpg, с интересными спутниками, офигенной атмосферой гримдарка, хорошим сюжетом, и цепляющей стартегической частью.

Мой поклон совокотам, у который есть явный талант и любовь к этому жанру <3

There are not so many games like this one, truly a masterpiece.

During the playthrough, you can feel the general atmosphere of hopelessness, but still you are driven by a little spark of hope. A beautiful sadness.

Some quests will make you cry (or almost cry), and the end will just knock you off, because there is no perfect outcome. Which is really unusual, because in most of the games players have a chance to save the world, to be a true pure hero.

You will love your companions, you will love this world and you will certainly be touched after this amazing journey.

I could tell you about beautiful locations and fantastically written companions, mind-blowing main story, but i'm sure you have heard about it all already. But this game is better described via emotions, not words. So if you had doubts wether to play it or not, don't be. It is a billion times worth it.

Dragon Age series are my favorite, so perhaps my review would be a little bit preconceived, but i just really love this game. A lot of fans consider Origins the best part of all three released and i am actually agree on that, but Inquisition in general almost just as good.

IMO, the best traits of the game are:
1) An open world.
Yes, some people do not really like to gather elfroots half of the playthrough, but it is actually a common thing, that's what RPG IS. I am, for example, excited to gather plants and metals to be able to craft a decent equipment in the future. It is the part of immersion in game. While you are looking for your elfroot, you will find a lot of hidden places, and you will 100% enjoy it.
2) Locations and general look of the game.
For 2014' the game is really good, especially if you play in Ultra. It is just beautiful. Deep roads, the Dales, forests and cities, everything. It is really nice to look at, and I especially like distinction between dwarven, elven and tevinter buildings, each location has unique cultural background, but they do not look the same.
3) Fan's content.
A LOT of easter eggs, some of them I notice even at 5th playthrough, it always bring the game a new perspective. Your choices from previous games are not so important, but visible.
4) Atmosphere/creatures/music.
All good and enjoyable, really. Diversity of creatures, like giants and dragons, cannot be unnoticed.
5) Characters.
Unlike Inquisitor, most of their companions are extremely well-written, in my opinion. The system of approval/personal quests is not new, but well built in game.

So the opinion is good in general, but I would like to point out weak trairs of the game if anyone read until this sentense and interested:
1) The plot.
Yep, the plot. The game is good as an expansion of the Origins world, let's admit it. The story about a chosen one is not new and unlikely interesting, as well as Inquisitor's ultimate lack of personality. Main character is boring. Very.
2) Armor, namely the lack of it. Every armor you found and craft look the same (with a few exceptions). It is kind of boring.
3) Characters' models are non-diverse as well, it is understandable, but still. Very funny catscenes with 20 people looking exactly the same.
4) Gameplay is slightly unbalanced, at the certain moment it becames really easy to win in fights, even on nightmare+trials.

To sum up, Inquisition is not perfect, but it can be enjoyable to play, so I recommend to try it, if you have any doubts.
That would be all! Hope my review was useful :)
