It’s kind of like in Mass Effect where all I wanted was to see Tali out of her mask because the curiosity was killing me! Except, uh, now it’s the back of Leliana’s head I want to see. Same as above – I just want to see it happen. I know, I love Dorian’s mustache, too! But isn’t anyone at all just a LITTLE BIT CURIOUS what he would look like without his curly upper lip caterpillar? Anyone? (My theory is that he would look way less hot without his ‘stache, but I need to see it to confirm hehehe). What is with Bioware spending a bajillion development hours on a great game, great graphics, and great storyline, then only spending 20 minutes on some decent hairs? The first thing I’m going to do when I figure out how to mod DA:I is make some nice hair styles with textures that aren’t crazy shiny! There should be a mod that expands the tactics that you and your companions can use automatically so that combat isn’t as tedious. In fact, the only reason I ever turned on Tactical View was as a makeshift “flycam” to take screenshots.

Tactical view was so irritating for me that I never used it and just hacked and slashed my way through the whole game. I wish the combat system were less clunky and boring in DA:I.

That being said, here are the top 10 mods that we modding folks need to create, stat! Overall, I’d say DA:I is a great game that will be very enjoyable for anyone who likes RPGs. The only way it could have been a 100 hour game is if I 1) turned on nightmare mode, 2) did every repetitive side quest (hello, collecting Shards, anyone?), and 3) turned off subtitles and listened to all the dialogue instead. Whew, I just finished my first playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition! I did a fairly thorough and complete run at just under 35 hours (not including my hour on the character creation screen alone, ha!), despite Bioware’s claim of it being a 100 hour game.
