Dragon Age: Inquisition is a better game than Pillars of Eternity

That's right, you heard what I said.

DA:I is better than PoE for the following reasons:

1. I don't give a shit about PoE characters more than I don't give a shit about DA:I characters

2. At least there's a reason to find better loot in DA:I

3. The combat in DA:I, while somewhat derpy in its MMO-ishness, is fairly entertaining

4. Larger world to explore and more incentive to send your underlings on missions

5. Believe it or not, a more intriguing world and history and story in DA:I

Search your feelings, for you know these things to be true.

Never played DA3 only first two, obviously weren't going to buy third game after derpfest that were second, then again for a $4m game to be even competing with a multi million budget, hundred strong plus (probably) team, compared to ten or so is fairly impressive for Obsidian. Then again I thought Poe were mediocre so it wouldn't take much to surpass it.

Mind you at least in Poe I could weild weapons that I wanted and there were a lot more of em, wasn't restricted for no good reason, and personally I thought lore were a step above DA world. Like wi all Bioware stuff it seems alright at first but think about it a bit and it's retarded, plus full of squeer bait and jokes stolen off Buffy vampire slayer.

DAO is about on par with Pillars of Eternity. Both are mediocre and pretty trashy. DAI is insufferable poz'd garbage made for trannies and other weirdos.

Can't agree with 3) other points have merit.
I don't like Pillars that much ,but can give some in favor of it.

1.In Pillars you can have party of six
2.More class choices
3.Stats are more important and diverse
4.Functional pause in battle and actuality real party based combat as oppose to actionRPG style in DAI
5.A lot more spells and abilities to play with
6.Isometric view and overall no combating the camera
7.Writing in Pillars in mediocre ,but not cringeworthy level of DAI

The item progression in PoE was awful. There were like no good items. Literally, whatever you made yourself was better than anything else you'd get in the game.

I mean, crafting is 'good', but there were no artifacts to actually replace what you made, nothing cool to get. Just shit, and lots of it.

ITT: people failing to realize that purpose of these threads is to track down degenerates who have actually played enough of these popamole shit games to analyze them. The Great Purge is coming.

At no point in POE did they force me to be tortured by excruciating singing like DA:I did. I almost called the UN to report a human rights violation but I was reduced to a quivering mound of flesh on the ground in a fetal position and couldn't reach my phone.

PoE was a boring turd, whereas DA:I was a very decent game and the best Dragon Age. Obviously DAI is better than PoE. Everything is better in DAI than in PoE.

If you find enjoyment in DAI that means you have no taste whatsoever...not only in gaming but in life.
