I have never played any of the Dragon Age games, but I just gained access to the GamePass tier that has EA games, so I can play any of them.
I absolutely love all of Bioware’s “classic” works (KOTOR, Mass Effect) where conversation choices affect the plot of the game. Would you guys recommend just playing the Dragon Age games in order of release, or what is the general consensus?
Honestly, it depends on how aware you are of fantasy tropes. I found the DA games to be utterly boring and predictible point for point, and I’d be sitting there going “Oh, this is where X is going to happen…” and sure enough…
If you haven’t played a lot of fantasy games or read a lot of fantasy fiction, they’re probably fine… I found them annoying.
