The game is fun for a singleplayer MMO, to the point I platinumed it, but as a Dragon Age game, I can't help but be disappointed with it. Dragon Age II, for all its faults, set up an interesting political conflict between the mages and the templars. I waited years to see it play out in III, and what I was given was absolute trash. It gets wrapped up by the end of the first act with a choice that amounts to little more than an altered finale to the act. Instead of an interrogation of one of the most interesting and complicated factional conflicts in RPGs, itself wonderfully built up over two games, we get a boring power-fantasy where the player becomes God and faces off against an antagonist with the charisma of a toilet paper rack. So, whenever I think of Inquisition, I think more about what it could have been, instead of the serviceable grindfest that we got. Truly tragic.
