Hi there!

You're making quite a few assumptions about me here. Firstly, I love these types of games, or at least what they used to be. Dragon Age: Origins🐓 is one of my favourite games of all time, and my disappointm𒀰ent in Inquisition is primarily because it's missing the tactical gameplay and interesting exploration of its predecessor.

The side quests in Origins were meaningful, and I just haven't found any that compare in Inquisition. I'm trying to meaningfully interact with this game, but it's offꦗering me nothing. For what it's worth, I've never been on TikTok and read plenty; the condescension doesn't help your case. Do you really think that watching a YouTube playthrough of major story beats is meaningfully interacting with the game? It seems contradictory to your argument.

At no point do I try to say that this is an objective take - it's very clearly my opinion on the game. I also quote the opinions of others at tꦓhe site, to see how they coped with disappointment ✨as one of their favourite series declines in quality.

I've given this game more than its fair shot, I've put about 50 hours in already (bugs prevent me from being more accurate), and, as I've said, the characters and writing are great. I'd love to see more of that without the rote gameplay in between. I find the combat simplistic and exploring dull - it's just not for me! Personally I don't t𒅌hink that makes me the equivalent of a tech bro, but you're entitled to your opinion as much as I am mine.

The Broken Earth trilogy by N. K. Jemisin. Incredibly unique sci-fi/fantasy setting, brilliant magic system🐼s that would work perfectly as mechanics, and it's ful꧃l of those moral quandaries that make games like Fallout: New Vegas tick. In fact, an Obsidian-developed Broken Earth RPG would be excellent.

That or FromSoftware's Children of Hurin.

Hey! I dont mind people disagreeing with me, but I think youve taken this article in bad faith. I have no problem with Melinoe, and in fact this article states that the better parts of Hades 2 at present are its narrative, which revolves around her. I c๊ant promise this is my top ten games with female protagonists because Ive bound to have forgotten something, but here are ten I love: Celeste Alien: Isolation Transistor Sable Control Alyx Portal Metroid Dread Signalis Oxenfree And as a bonus here are two from this year that Ive really enjoyed: Indika 1000xResist
