    I’ve been needing a new big game to sink my teeth into, but I haven’t played any of the other Dragon Age games. I watched the glowing euro gamer review for Veilguard and it looks amazing to me (the slightly stylized look doesn’t bother me at all). Do you think I’ll enjoy it without much context? I don’t usually buy full-priced, but I make the occasional exception for games I know I’ll play for a while…Baldurs Gate, for example.

      I would definitely recommend inquisition first, sets ip the story and its also a 10/10 game. I dont think you HAVE to play it first but it would help i think.

        I was playing through Inquisition for the first time earlier this year, and 30h in the main questline broke, and I cant proceed…a real bummer.

            When you’re supposed to choose between siding with the Mages and Templar, it tells you to go back to the war room, which I assume should activate some kind of cutscene…but nothing happens. You just get to choose more missions on the map. I can’t tell how far back it bugged out, even if I go back to before starting that questline, I get the same issue.

            From the steam forums, it seems like this has been a known bug since at least the original steam release :/

              That sucks. The main bug I encountered on the PS4 when I originally played it, was that a line of dialogue would be said and then it would just sit there for like 10 minutes just showing your character and then I would move onto the next character. Then they would say their dialogue And then it would wait another 10 fucking minutes and then this kept happening for hours.

        Thanks! I was afraid you were going to say that…but it makes sense. Think I’ll go for it. Also means I can wait a while to buy Veilguard while I play Inquisition.

      I think the general consesus is that Origins is the way to go with Dragon Age. You’re also more likely to see it go on sale soon now that Vailguard is out.
