Dragon Age - Origins vs Inquisition

I enjoy tactical deep RPGs but DA1 just did nothing for me. I barely remember it. I do remember a lot of Darkspawn and seemingly endless deep roads.

Everyone scrathces their itch I guess. If you didn't mention I'd forget about deep roads and darkspawn. I do remember however that there was no possibility to romance the dog, there was some NPC inside the game arrogantly advertising DLC and golem sidekick was not included in the release version.

Some times, I think, I'd like to read an article musing over the question :
"Dragon Age : Origins - did it live up to its advertised "spiritual Baldur's Gate" thing ?"

To this day I'm surprised we never got a true follow up to the Origins game. Then again, if it were locked to the Origin platform, I'd never see it. Plenty of games have included some elements from Origins, so I'll just have to be happy with that.

I still have some old images from PC Gamer that showed Dragon Age Origins once looked like an updated NWN crossed with Baldur's Gate, but it was scrapped and rebooted.

I'm not sure he can deal with diversity in views.

While maybe I sound as horrible person to NWN fans, keep in mind that I'm more alergic to still ongoing obsession with Chrono Trigger.
One thing is sure though. Both you and me are beating the dead horse.

Dunno what those drugs are for but I assure you just mentioning that game has a laxative effect on me.
Imagine how much money I've saved that would got to doctors just for being on this site!
