Origins was amazing, still is if you can stand the clunky system. 2 was horrible. Inquisition was better than 2 but nowhere near as good as origins. The religious tank was the way to go for banging (that's what's up Izo Izo ).

Random aside the note on anthem being totally abandoned was funny. I bought a new copy of it from gamestop for 5 dollars a year or so ago since there was talks of it potentially being redone. Oh well.

DAO isn't much more than a NWN reskin. They changed the combat system enough to make it not just D20 again but it's still essentially 'roll to hit AC'.

Never played NWN. Interesting, I'll have to look into it.

Agreed but DAO had amazing main story and side quests. Also great paths through the story, endings, characters etc. A near perfect RPG story wise.

IMO NWN story wasn't nearly as good. Felt like Baldur's Gate lite to me. However, NWN modding was amazing cause you played other people's campaigns and there were some great ones. It was basically D&D online with the dungeon master mode and everything.

I agree DAO had a much more fleshed out story overall but Aribeth's story arc throughout the original and HotU remains one of my favorites to this day, and i did an actual jaw drop the first time she shows back up in HotU.

NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer was one of the best RPGs ever made. Storm of Zehir wasn't bad either, but it's a different sort of game, even though they are both Xpacs for the mediocre NWN2 main campaign (game).

Yes yes alpha etc... but I am not a fan of their overall design choice.

I'll wait to withhold judgement, anything can be good if done well.

After Origins, the combat has been janky the whole time. 2 and 3 were both a weird mix between ARPG and tactical RPG that never quite worked.

Let’s hope it’s not. Dread Wolf was a cool story arc.
Yeah. Origins was a great game, it would be cool to have a modern take on it. I have revisited it a couple times.

Never played 2 cause it looked terrible. Played 3 but it wasn’t too impressive, holding one button for combat was really lame. I’ll still follow this to see what people think at release but that video combined with the likelihood it will be woke, it’s not looking too promising.

Dragon Age has been soaked in woke for a while now, though. The meaningful question is will it be Vox Machina type of woke, or will it be HBO's "Velma" levels of woke.

8sec of combat. I mean maybe that's how how it is playing a melee character? I played a rogue last game and it was kinda like that.
