The Mass Effect series I thought was great and Dragon Age I was hoping for something Skyrim flair (the optics / landscapes indeed quite similar to very strong), so I went with fairly high expectations approached Inquisition.
I was sadly disappointed.
First the, in my eyes, POSITIVE:
+ Custom Character Design
The character editor is very well done (although the selection of hairstyles Co. is not overly large)
+ The landscapes are visually beautiful to look mainly (although as the water effects to be rather moderate PS2)
+ Game runs quite smoothly
+ Load times are ok

Here are my NEGATIVE points:
- Broadcasting zero - I've been playing over 15 hours and have to say that this game absolutely does not affect me or casts a spell. The characters I do not care, the lifeless landscapes draw me into its spell, which, in my eyes rather flat ones, Story does not cheer me - just boring.
When I think of Mass Effect, where I have captivated immediately characters and world ... as different as day and night.
- The combat system is creepy and completely undynamic - you can not even change weapons and apropos weapons during the fight - I have within 15 hours of gameplay not found a good one. Power hack little fun with lousy weapons like hours at enemies until they finally fall
- The (German) voice actors are also rather disappointing. The main characters sound good, but sounds most of the NPCs as if they were bored drone down an essay
- BUGS en masse of course may not be missed - weightlessness, the stone-sticking & Co is often represented
- No OPEN WORLD - large areas, combined with load times, is not an open world for me?
- Terrible weapons / armor design - certainly a matter of taste, but I find almost all weapons and outfits just ugly, cheesy and amateurish designed; D

To sum up: Dragon Age Inquisition is not really my thing, I prefer to wait to TESO (if this should ever appear on the PS4).
