Comparison of Bioware's Dragon Age titles
Hello, and thank you, everybody for waiting till this moment! Today, here at InformeticaTech, I bring to you our first gaming article. Actually, it's a comparison between the three Dragon Age titles by Bioware.
1. Game World
Dragon Age : Origins - This first game in the series was based in the vast country of Ferelden, with the main character having to go to almost all parts of it.
Dragon Age 2 - The sequel to Origins, on the contrary was set in a single city of the Free Marches, and the Sundermount, which is far smaller.
Dragon Age : Inquisition - Inquisition, is rumored to be the first Open World game in the series, being based in the entire land of Thedas.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Dialogue System
Dragon Age : Origins - Extensive: there are about 4 -6 options to choose in a scroll-down menu. Engage in conversation at will.
Dragon Age 2 - Intensive: about 3 options, used in a user-friendly Dialogue wheel. Player can talk only at specific points.
Dragon Age : Inquisition - Combined: dialogue wheel returns, but there will be more options. Engage conversations at all times.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Combat
Dragon Age : Origins - Weakly designed. There isn't any autoselect enemy option. The player has to be comfortable in using keyboard and mouse together, and continuously use pre-planned battle moves.
Dragon Age 2 - Real-time action in increased substantially. Combat is much smoother, with autoselect enemy option and a better arsenal of skills to be used.
Dragon Age : Inquisition - Combat is Dragon Age Inquisition is rumoured to have both real-time, and strategic battle oppurtunities to make it appealing to a greater cast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Cut Scenes
Dragon Age : Origins - Dragon Age: Origins has a great number of breathtaking scenes, with extraordinary effects and an epic storyline.
Dragon Age 2 - Dragon Age II is relatively vanilla in scenes. These scenes may turn out boring to those who expect a good plotline.
Dragon Age : Inquisition - It is hard to be able to find out how the cutscenes in Inquisition are, but the trailer suggests Origins-like scenes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Quests
Dragon Age : Origins - The debut game has a vast number of quests for the player to turn to, with many side stories to experience.
Dragon Age 2 - DAII has a fair share of quests as well, but unfortunately, most of which are based on the same plotline.
Dragon Age : Inquisition - According to rumours, Inquisition is supposed to have a large number of parrallel plotlines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Characters
Dragon Age : Origins - Origins has a large number of recruitable companions, each with a background to explore, and four of them to mate with. Also, the NPCs have a lot of story material too.
Dragon Age 2 - The companion characters in the sequel react well to their own choices which are reflected by yours. However, the NPCs are much more one-dimensional here.
Dragon Age : Inquisition - DA: Inquisition has been revealed to have some of the best characters ever made in Bioware's Dragon Age franchise. It looks pretty promising.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Storyline
Dragon Age : Origins - Once again, storyline is the factor at which Origins is far better than its sequel. It not only has vast number of subplots, but most of them are very touching.
Dragon Age 2 - The successor to Origins is based mainly on only two basic plotlines, which seem pretty boring. Also, the choices of the player don't have much effect.
Dragon Age : Inquisition - The game creators promise to have much more option in the third game, to make it more like Origin's epic plot. But once again, it's not certain.
