Ah no plenty of popular shit is trash. Honestly, I had to learn to appreciate the last two. Origins was my favorite game of all time so I went into the sequels comparing to that and I didn’t enjoy it. But, once I learned to appreciate each for its own reasons I began to enjoy all of them. Origins is incredible and was my favorite game for a long time, but I might like inquisition the best now, with the addition of the DLC. high school me was so disappointed with Dragon age 2 that it made me less passionate about gaming as a whole. Now I think that its actually a really great game with the best characters of the whole series. Each of them does things the others don’t, each of them has strengths and weaknesses the others don’t.

I’m honestly a bit of a fangirl with the series. I visit the subreddit most days, and I’ve played inquisition 5 times, DA2 3 times and DAO 6 times. I’m a big art snob but I have a soft spot for fantasy and DA does it really well.
