It feels like BioWare decided to go with what worked for Mass Effect, while still attempting to inject some new dynamics into the game, but the game mechanics felt like the first game in a series instead of the third. In addition to this, you gather legendary heroes to add to the Inquisition, similar to building your team in Mass Effect 2 and 3.
The game follows a heroic protagonist that must rally the forces of the in-game world to amass an army capable of taking on the greater evil of the land. Honestly, Dragon Age: Inquisition feels more like Mass Effect 3 than anything. It feels like Dragon Age: Inquisition suffers from the same issues as its predecessors – feeling and playing like a different game instead of the next installation in a series. Dragon Age II, while popular among some players, was received with mixed reviews by both players and critics.
Dragon Age: Origins garnered a good amount of followers, but never accumulated a large fan base. The truth about the Dragon Age franchise is that it has struggled to find its footing from the very beginning.
