Dragon Age: Inquisition was a real return to form for developer BioWare, and it didn't just impress us, as you lot voted it your 2014 Game of the Year. As such, we all wished the best for the engrossing role-playing game, and it seems as though its success is starting to show.
Publisher EA's latest financial report states that the game marked BioWare's most successful launch in the studio's history. Mass Effect 3 held this record previously, which makes the news all the more impressive, especially since Inquisition's pedigree was under a lot of scrutiny during its development.

I still haven't played this game yet myself, waiting for the price to drop down to $30 New, and also for the PS4 to become $300 New or cheaper.
I know there's a PS3 version, but I'd rather play it on the PS4 for better graphics and load times etc.
I'm 105hrs in....I'm not sure how much more there is to do but it still seems to have stuff that needs to be done. It's an impressive experience and I love making choices that really feel like they impact on the world. It's pretty and there have been times I've stopped playing just to listen to the orchestral score...the music in the Emerald Graves is lovely. The characters are all interesting, tho I find Sera irritating. I'm definitely a fan despite not liking DA1 and never playing the 2nd game. I don't get much gaming time so DA:I will last me weeks and weeks.
Wow that's quite a surprise.
Eh? The game felt like an offline MMO to me, what are the actual sold through numbers? Not shipped don't even waste my time with shipped numbers.
Game is amazing, my favourite rpg in a long time
Only 30 hours in, but I like it a lot. Fun to replay Origins along with it especially with the excellent guides for both (why is DA2 so expensive?) I guess we like the most recent entry of every franchise cause they're usually the prettiest.
@sonicmeerkat I like that it retained what others have noted as that unmistakable BioWare awkwardness that originally stemmed from KotOR's use of D&D's d-20 system for battle, meaning that the animations were merely representations in which clipping errors were common and still represented a hit if your saber didn't necessarily reach it's target. The DA series has less representative graphics, where ME is "literal" because the animation missing is always a miss (duh it's a "shooter" right?😋). My point is that it's not because they took the multiplayer out of an mmo, that's all.
56 hours in and bored of it now, back to Ebay from whence it came, good fun at first but no longitivity, back on FFXIVARR.
@xMEADx don't get me wrong, I love ARR, but I would say this has better longevity from what I've played so far, just due to the variety. Once the main story quests were out of the way, ARR devolved into running the same dungeons and dailys day in day out with little to no change to what you were doing. I am looking forward to going back to it soon, but mainly that's because I've taken about half a year's break so now I have lots of story content to go back to!
Dragon Age: Inquisition is an excellent game love it so far, around 55 hours in.
Not surprised really. Amazing game am bout 110 hours in and still loving it. Def the game of 2014!
@SteveButler2210 Aye I agree Dragonage is a nice little distraction for a week or so, I just get bored of SP games VERY quickily an open world with no other players in is still an empty world unfortunateley, I had to try Dragonage I mean it's game of the year!!! I dont know how when CoD and Fifa dominate the charts so much (I didnt buy either of these games) it's almost like people that do these poll's pick and choose which games to choose from but naaa I sold Dragonage after a week, 56 hours in.
