I finished a rerun of Dragon Age 2 which I love (ppl rate it the worst - not meee) and jumped on to Dragon Age Origins, which I have never finished and I'm struggling... Just not my bag.

Doesn't help that its the PS3 port, with a UI not designed for a controller (the sequels were much better in this regard) but yeah... not sure if I care enough to complete it :/ At least it doesnt have busywork.

    Dragon Age 2 got a bad rap when it first came out - because it didn't meet the expectations set by Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening - but honestly it got reevaluated pretty quick. I don't think you'd find many people ranking it at the bottom anymore.

    Inquisition strayed even further from Origins which led to early fans looking back at Dragon Age 2 as more faithful, while the big influx of fans who started with Inquisition found it much more approachable than the CRPG style of Origins. The repeated environments are also a lot less of a disappointing in retrospect than the hollow, padded MMO style open levels of Inquisition.

    I think you'd see tier lists divided in to two camps - with either Veilguard/Inquisition at the bottom for CRPG fans and Origins/Awakening for the latter Mass Effect-style fans. Well, maybe Veilguard at the bottom for the latter camp too.
