As a latecomer to the Dragon Age series, my journey to playing Dragon Age: Inquisition in 2024 has been an interesting one. I initially missed out on the game when it was released in 2014, as I was not actively playing games during that time. However, with the upcoming release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, I felt it was finally time to catch up on the series and see what all the hype was about.
When I first started playing Inquisition, I was struck by its blend of party-based RPG elements and open-world design. It reminded me of other games from that era, such as Horizon Zero Dawn and The Witcher 3, which I had enjoyed immensely. While I couldn’t say for sure if the game was a masterpiece, it did evoke a sense of nostalgia for me and brought back memories of exploring vast open worlds and engaging in epic quests.
One of the main reasons I wanted to play Inquisition before the release of The Veilguard was to experience the game alongside other fans. I had heard from friends who played Dragon Age: Origins that the series was known for its memorable cast of characters and engaging storytelling. I wanted to be a part of that experience and have the opportunity to discuss and engage with the game’s characters and storylines in real-time with other players.
As I continue my journey through Inquisition, I am excited to see how the game unfolds and to finally meet iconic characters like Solas that have been talked about in the Dragon Age community for years. I am eager to see how The Veilguard will build upon the foundation laid by its predecessors and deliver a new and exciting RPG experience for fans of the series.
In conclusion, my delayed introduction to the Dragon Age series has been a unique and rewarding experience. Playing Inquisition in 2024 has allowed me to appreciate the game in a new light and has sparked my interest in the upcoming release of The Veilguard. I look forward to diving deeper into the world of Thedas and experiencing all that the Dragon Age series has to offer.
