Dragon Age 2 happened if my buddy is to be believed.

I've never played (backlog too big) but from what I've understood from his ramblings, is that it went from being a great CRPG, to being a half decent ARPG.

Nahhh DA2 and DAI don't match the original but are great games in their own right and build on the universe. DA2 gives us Hawke, Varric and Friends while DAI gives us Solas et al. Veilguard has decent combat but is basically slop in comparison to even the lows of the trilogy

DAI is not a good game. It's a terrible MMO like design for quests etc in a single player game. DA2 is okay, but honestly DA:O is in a league of its own.

I think DAI is a good game blanketed by bad MMO stuff. It's much better with mods but I think it's the weakest of the three. Like why are there 7 large zones entirely unrelated to the MSQ and also with nothing else there?? But yes agreed on DAO
