I still wish that the next Mass Effect was centered on The First Contact War. Haven't been following ME4 closely (do we even know anything other than 'set after ME3, is going to be more difficult?'), but after hearing it was set after ME3 I went, "Arrrrrg". I loved the games, but I wasn't satisfied with the conclusion of the series (yes, even after the extended endings; though ME3 wasn't a perfect game outside of that, it had lots of great moments too so I could mostly forgive the other faults).

Inquisition is a bit of a hot mess, but I still like it and think it has some charm. Hopefully BioWare will learn from Inquisition's reception and their next games will be better for it. (NGL, I'm excited for the future of Dragon Age. I expect big things story wise after some of the revelations in DAI.)

Now, I'm not sure I like DAI enough to replay eight times (I have that many playthroughs, I just doubt I'll ever finish them all), but I wish Origin wasn't such a fucking dick so I could play the DLC soonish.

As for your opinion about "their best games being behind them", you hear that a lot in this fandom, lol. I don't fault you for feeling it, but right now I feel like it could go either way.

Inquisition's reception? You mean game of the year?

[elaminator]

Fair point, but a large chunk of their fanbase had an entirely different reaction than the gaming sites. (And I would assume they want to keep those people happy, as they spend a lot of money on their products.)

Now I have a feeling a lot of the people who have issues with the game will still end up buying the next one because this fanbase has a hard time letting go, but I still think it would be in BioWare's best interest to tweak some things based on feedback. (Not everything, but, you know, some things.)

Will they do it or not? Who knows. Have to wait and see.

You aren't going to please everyone all the time unfortunately . There were a few things that needed work but honestly inquisition is my favorite bioware game hands down.

I hope future bioware games emulate inquisition.

You aren't going to please everyone all the time unfortunately.

You won't ever please everyone tbh, but I feel like people have valid complaints. Some of them go overboard with their hate or dissatisfaction, but I honestly don't think most people are bitching just because they can. (...I do feel like some would do that, but not because we're talking about BioWare here. Every fandom has those people.)

Was it the characters you liked so much? (I've said it before: This is one of my favorite BioWare casts.) Or the story? I thought the story was (mostly) good, but the main quest-line was so damn short it felt over in no time. The main quests were great, but there weren't enough other quests that I enjoyed playing to make up for them.

I'm not going to lie that the characters are a big part of it but I loved the quest system. Open ended but I always felt like my actions were helping the world somehow. The main quest line was king of short but with all the side quests you end up massive over leveled so I don't feel the game lacked for content.

Really my chief complaint is the end sequence with coypheus. Or lack thereof.

I love the cast.

[elaminator]

See, I wouldn't say the game lacked in content either, because you could play for 150 hours (in one playthrough) if you wanted. There's plenty of stuff to do, but the content itself... I wish the side-quests were more unique. I wish the NPC's had bigger roles and more character. I know the other Dragon Age games had their share of fetch quests too, but the fetch quests were my main concern with DAI. Sometimes it felt like fetch quests were 60% of the game.

If I'd felt more engaged with the secondary quests then I would've absolutely loved this game. (Instead of liking it. A lot at times, but yea.)

I thought the whole ending confrontation was very anti-climatic. After building an army to fight him we don't get to see any of them fighting? Okay, BioWare. Okay.

I guess that's the difference then. I felt like the narrative line through the quests, even the side quests, was strong enough that I never felt like they got too same-y. Since there were so many side quests, I just didn't do the ones that felt boring to me. That was less often specific quests that I didn't like than me growing bored with an area and moving on.

I can see how if you were getting bored with the side quests how it you could critique the game then, since they are a huge portion of it.

The whole ending sequence with Corypheus made me rage, but apparently Bioware doesn't really know how to tie up their storylines with any kind of consistency, based on previous titles.

I would love that too, or the Rachni War and/or Krogan Rebellion. <3

[elaminator]

Yes!

Even though Mass Effect 4 is already locked in, I would be down with BioWare coming back and making these games later. (I doubt it will happen as I'm pretty sure they've explored them in other venues now, but maybe if they run out of ideas...)

We will forever be disappointed. (But come on, they would make great games!)
