Which Dragon Age games are worth playing? - eviltoast

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?

    I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I really love Dragon Age: Inquisition. It has huge flaws, yes. Chiefly having way too much generic filler sidequesting.

    Do note that you’ll need the DLC to get the most important part of the story. (Thanks EA.)

    To be fair, I am not the model series fan. I gave up on Origins in the 12 hours of identical dungeon corridors underneath the dwarf city. Never played DA2. Love KotOR, Jade Empire (still holds up surprisingly well!), and Mass Effect, though.

      ugh, this just gave me real, visceral dread, and I haven’t played that stage in at least 5 years!

      it was so, so HARD. Also I’m a filthy casual and everything is hard for me, but jfc that area kicked my whole ass repeatedly.
