Commentary from these nerds is excruciating, but if you can stand how annoying they are it's worth getting a close look at characters and gameplay:

I've been slowly working my way through Dragon Age Orgins for about two years now and I've absolutely loved it (current personal record for longest time to beat a game; Final Fantasy IX 13 Years, 2 Months, and 20 days)

For me personally its rare to get into a game thats middle aged/fantasy themed so it usually has to be pretty special to get my attention. Had to stop it for a while as it was kind of difficult for me without cheating but after learning how to use the terminal/console for cheats and installing dozens of mods I've come to appreciate this game even more.

Heres a pic from modded Dragon Age Orgins game. The character pictured here went from this to this:


With that said I still have a bad taste in my mouth from the Mass Effect 3 ending fiasco and I've heard very few positive things about Dragon Age 2 so I've had little motivation to try it. I am rooting for Bioware because they're just to talented to write off, and to this day Mass Effect 2 is my undisputed favorite game of all time. Not to mention great single player games are kind of like pitchers in baseball, you can never have too many.

In short I am very interested in Dragon Age Inquisition but I can't justify buying a Bioware game going forward until I see enough user reviews that confirm the game being up to par.

The Witcher 3 on the other hand I'll likely buy on Day 1 if for no other reason then CD Protjek Red are basically the video game industries version of Good Guy Greg.
