Make that 90%. I don't know what sorcery possessed me, but I bought Dragon Age Inquisition for 8€ during the Steam sale and played a bit of it over the weekend. I was having a pretty drab time collecting the shards, solving the dumb constellation puzzles, trying to find goats for farmers and getting zero reward for any of these tasks. In my frustration I googled something along the lines of "why is dragon age inquisition so shit" and that led me down a rabbit hole until I found a mini guide of the most optimal way of playing the game: simply ignore everything. When you get to a new area you just go find the new camps and close the rifts and that'll give you enough power and XP to get to the next part of the critical path. After doing this a bit the game still ended up wearing me down because of how awful the combat still is and how uninteresting the story and characters are. And made me realize how little of the critical path there even is. Within 15 hours of playing I probably spent 2-3 hours doing something story related. All the side stuff barely even ties to the overall narrative, if at all. It's pretty bleak.DA:I though was a full development release and they chose to go with MMO style checklist bullshit design for 70% of the game's content and fuck them for that.
But I can't claim that Dragon Age Inquisition is all that bad. After experiencing DAI it made me look forward to going back to work after my Christmas vacation. At least here I get paid to work.
