NOTE: This is a compilation of our three-part video documentary series about Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition that aired in 2019.
When it comes to Western role-playing games, few video game developers are as renowned as Bioware. The Edmonton-based studio’s catalogue is as celebrated as it is influential, with almost all of its titles representing the peaks of their genres in the eras they debuted. Baldur’s Gate brought computer RPGs back in vogue with its sublime, high-fantasy gameplay. Neverwinter NightsKnights masterfully adapted its tenets into a multiplayer-centric experience. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic saw the former games’ narrative finesse melded with the adventurism of the galaxy far, far away. And Mass Effect made all of this Bioware’s own - while taking it to the next level.
But being this renowned comes with a high heavy price. Today, gamers are well aware of the struggles the studio dealt with recently during the development of games like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem. Yet the reality is that struggles like these have persisted throughout its entire history, with nearly every major production that Bioware has successfully completed representing a triumph in the face of massive adversity.
Dragon Age, Bioware’s much-beloved high-fantasy series, is perhaps most emblematic of this. While each of its mainline entries were made under vastly different circumstances from one another, they all suffered in their own, unique ways. Its third one’s design failed to fully come together until late in its production, and needed to be made in an incredibly unruly engine. Its second one’s development period was one of the most cramped its staff had ever experienced. And its first operated without a consistent team or set of tools for an immensely long - so much so, that many wondered if it was ever going to come out at all.
This is the history of Dragon Age: Origins.

Hey everyone! We hope you're already enjoying the new year! This is a compilation of our three-part video documentary series about Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Inquisition that aired in 2019. We'll be adding to this series as soon as Dreadwolf is out. Join us next week as we'll be returning to our regular content. :)
would be nice if you guys do rise and fall of Killzone
VERY IMPRESSIVE
I don’t understand how this channel doesn’t have millions on subscribers
Happy new year!
Keep the good work! GVMERS is hands down by far my favourite video game documentary channel. Simply great content!
Awesome! But perhaps wait a few months until after Dreadwolf to gauge long-term reactions and post-release content, as you did with Inquisition here? 😊
Dragon Age: Origins was one of the very last games I bought in late 2009, ironically I got it a whim and man was it fortuitous. Even with it's hiccups it's an experience for sure and I burned the midnight oil with it then and even now. It's a fine addition to any collection regardless.
Same ha. It looked like just another generic RPG and I didn’t get around to playing it for months after which I cursed myself for not playing it sooner.
Origins is my favorite RPG ever made. I love it so much.
But Divinity Original Sin 2 tho broooo
Same Here. Also Loved the First three books
@@ThwipThwipBoom I haven't played that yet
@@neonrelmsproductions4224 Do it, it's the best real RPG game ever made.
Larian Studios wasn't fucking around when they created it, they went all in. It's a 10/10 masterpiece imo
The only question is if the RPG they're working on right now, Baldur's Gate 3, can possibly top it...
I prefer origins to divinity original sin 2, just think the over arching dark fantasy setting is better in origins@@ThwipThwipBoom
a common theme for videos on this amazing channel.
1. studio makes a great passion project loved by all.
2. EA or Activision comes in, and promptly takes a greedy crap on the floor.
3. destroys IP via said greedy crap.
Honestly, DA2 is a wonderful accomplishment given the constraints.
no it's not.
No matter what happened during development of all three dragon age games, I was and am absolutely enthralled by its world. Every time I go back to Origins, DA2, and Inquisition I feel like I’m catching up with old friends. I cant wait for Dreadwolf and even if it’s a different team making it, I am rooting for them to make it as memorable as the previous installments.
Same
FACTS
Ikr. I love all of the games and hardly notice any of what "fans" apparently complain about 😅 I love the whole world and story. I have continued playing all of them for over 10 years now.
Origins was the only stand out.
Exactly- I can't understand how someone would hate of all of em
I think Dragon Age Origins was the only RPG that I really cared about my actions and my companions. I spent hours just deciding if I should have a relationship with Morrigan or Liana hahah For me, that game is a masterpiece of the genre and one of the best games of PS3 era. ENCHANTMENT!
DAO completely changed how I played video games. Now I overly empathize with characters and can't be evil lol
It’s a shame the PS3 version ran like crap.
@@iloveyourunclebob I hear you, im actually playing it now and every time i want to be a cunt i have a hard time doing so lol.
maybe you're just a pervert with bad taste:)
Dragon Age was really... an enchantment !
Damnit I'm reintalling Origins again.
Ha, I never Uninstalled it.
*Enchantment!* 🤩
Dragon age had some great stories and world to explore my favorite part was the dwarves and their underground cities, so huge and deep! If you chose the dwarf royalty origin you can redeem your name and be part of the royal family again if you chose your brother as king .
It's my favorite too. Doing a casteless dwarf run right now (my first). I forgot how much I loved Ohgrin. It's funny how all of Orzammar struggles accepting me as a Grey Warden when all they see is the brand. Was planning to help Behlin since he kinda holds my whore sister hostage, but I just can't stomach this ass.
Those personal stories were removed from inquisition.
Dude the dwarven remnants were so cool to see in the fist game it was great!
That's what she said.
Well, technically no. Because the Warden IS precisely that...a Warden, they leave their old lives behind, the Dwarf Warden has no attachment to the royal family.
You can also see this with Alistair (tho in the opposite way), if he becomes King, despite having tainted blood, he is out of the Order for completely.
My favorite game series, I play it atleast once a year…it’s literally probably the only game I’ve returned to this much! Dragon Age Inquisition is the game that got me into the series and I’ve been loving it ever since! Can’t wait to see what they do with Dreadwolf and wishing Bioware success!
Same here
I highly doubt we'll ever see another game like Dragon Age Origins, the story, the characters, the environments and the amount of content is something unheard of these days, and the funny thing about the DLC and maps to this game is that they were packed with actual content, not just a massive checklist to complete in a single open world map like some of Inquisition was.
The hope is that Bioware actually nails Dreadwolf, and I hope they do, but their record lately has been disappointing to say the least.
None of the people that made DAO great are there anymore.
The Witcher 3 already surpassed Origins by a gigantic margin.
@@mandu6665 . I disagree
@@mandu6665 The Witcher 3 is great but once I got to Skellige that game dragged.
@@mandu6665 The Witcher series is great, but its hard to compare the two they do completely different things imo... DAO is in the vein of old school RPGS!
I don't think anything can compare to BioWare's 1-2 punch of Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins, showing they could make brilliant games on the opposite ends of the fiction spectrum (sci-fi and high fantasy). It's a shame that they've cast such a large shadow for themselves since general consensus seems to be diminishing returns for their games as of late... But I'll always have love for the Mass Effect Trilogy and DA:O for their characters and immersive storytelling.
Oh it can easily be beat, even within Bioware itself with its 1-2-3-4-5-6 KO of Baulder's Gate, MDK2, BG2, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic, and then Jade Empire.
well, to be honest DAO is not a "high fantasy", not at all. It's more of a dark fantasy. It has some Lord of the Ring tropes (main plot), but when it comes to how the world is build, society and all that stuff it's all Song of Ice and Fire. New team with DA2 actually made this world into high fantasy thing and it only became more clear in DA:I.
Imho Origins were more mature and dark in comparison to rest of the instalments and that's why it was so much better, each choice was important and had it repercussions.
Honestly DA:O is one of the best journey adventure story in a game I've played, from the mystery of the deep roads to the amazing smorgasboard of companions and interactions. I was pretty dissapointed that subsequent games wasn't about the adventure to fight off the darkspawns, doesn't help that the writing for the story and characters are way shallower after origins.
Please consider the Homeworld series for a future documentary. As the third game is releasing in upcoming months, this is a good time to revisit the somewhat accidental creation of a cult hit that had a difficult time escaping that reputation in subsequent releases. Recently cited as one of the greats by GRR Martin in a late night interview, it deserves a greater place in the cultural zeitgeist and should be recognized as more integral to gaming history as a series that was vastly ahead of its time in terms of exemplary story telling and sound design.
Ooh, now that's a great topic of a series.
space rocks and Dirt
I personally think it would more interesting for them to cover the franchise after the third game releases. I don't know, I just feel like the video would feel incomplete once that game came out. I agree that the IP is a great subject for this channel to cover though.
I remember in 2009 seeing dragon age origins on the shelf at my local Walmart and not knowing anything about the game I still wanted to buy it so bad but I wasn't able to afford it because I was 10. Cut to later that night my older brother bought the game and I watched him play it and I then also played it and I've been hooked on the series ever since. For some reason this franchise has resonated with me like nothing else and honestly played a role in making me the person I am today.
Dragon Age Origins, one of my favorite (if not favorite) games of all time.
thank you for the video guys! Dragon Age has been one of my favorite franchise for a long time and im glad you guys made an informative video about DA.
GVMERS is one of best TH-cam channels by far. I love your work guys.
Keep going on and provide us with such a great content.
I've played so much Dragon Origins back in 2012 that skills/spells icons are burned into my memory to this day
Few things invoke Nostalgia like BioWare and their incredible catalog of late 90s to the early 2010s were unparalleled for BioWare creating some of the best RPG Video Game World ever put the code from Baldur's Gate Jade Empire to Mass Effect BioWare truly is one of the greatest video game companies of yesteryear
@@saintboot8410 that game was awesome unrivaled and it's Unique traditional Chinese setting I wish BioWare and other game companies would take chances and make different games like they used to back in the day those were the days
I have never played it before but I can see the passion and love behind the game people have for it.
it is indeed a game which you can feel the dev's passion behind it
I can easily recommend Origins+Awakening. The sequels are your call though.
@@michaelandreipalon359 same
He's not kidding about inspired by the works of GRRM and Tolkien. So if you enjoy their works, I do suggest the series.
I played some of the dragon age games on the 360, didn't get the dlc or anything, but from what I can remember I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Dragon Age 2 is a severely underrated classic. I'll always be sad that the production was so crunched, even just 1 more year would have brought it from good to amazing.
DA2 was the start of my jaded view on modern gaming, my first real heartbreak. I thought those gaming industry giants would be incapable of failing that hard and that they were surely too big to fail. Boy, that aged terribly in hindsight
A flawed game to be sure, but one I still hold close to my heart. I still think back fondly about most of the companions (except Anders, Fuck Anders) vs Inquisition. I like a lot of the companions in Inquisition but.....I don't really care about any of them except for Varric and whoever I'm romancing.
@@Drebolaskan Same
Inquisition just had this magic to it the i cant find in any RPGs, its cohesiveness, the colorful characters and their intimacies, the setting and the plot, it just felt perfect
Wow I'm acually playing the first one for the first time right now and the game's great
Thank you so much for covering Dragon Age!!
I love the series. Even Dragon Age 2 had fun moments for me (enjoyed the combat). And i love Inquisition.
I really hope Bioware does a remaster of Dragon Age Origins like they did the Mass Effect Trilogy. That first game is special and i'd love to replay it again remastered.
I agree.. And have hoped for a few yrs that they remake origins.. But a remake not remaster
A remake would have too many changes. A remaster is already fine enough, especially with bugfixes and QoL improvements.
As much as Origins remains the favorite. I feel Dragon Age 2 had one of the best and most unique stories in gaming and I feel Inquisition is one of the most in-depth games that showcases it's own created lore.
Overall I love all 3 games and truly do believe Dreadwolf is in good hands despite all the setbacks, it seems to be Bioware's next epic.
The Release and Fall and Fall and Fall of Dragon Age
my only gripes about DA2 was how the city didn't evolve very much. It was apparent to me they had a very-constrained development timeline, but I judge each DA game on its own merits & not on what came before, & through that lens I felt DA2 was a pretty good game overall. It was just very different in style & gameplay from Origin & that's fine. It's a different game.
Here's to another year of more amazing content from y'all!
Origins captured my heart from the day I played it. So much of my life has been influenced by the game.
Some people grew up having TV and movies mold them, I grew up having fable and Dragon age origins mold me
Fable and DAO - SAME!
I love the original Fable. It's so goofy 😂
RE: DA2. I refused to get this for many years. When I finally tried it, I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed the faster-paced combat system, compared to Origins. But the other criticisms are on-point, plus I had the benefit of extensive mods to improve the look of the game.
I've never been much of a gamer, having discovered this franchise only some years ago and never having played it beyond its first chapter. However, from what I've seen and read these years, DA stories, characters and world building are amazing, to the point where I've finally decided to play all 3 (current) titles in a run, regardless of the problems that kept me away from finishing the series during these years (I'm a GM on two different ttrpg campaigns, so I have to schedule some time to play videogames). I'm currently replaying DAO and I already feel so much in love with the story and the world that I've also bought some novels, comics and the two lore books (Ghil Dirthalen's channel was fundamental in learning what to take and what to avoid). I'm also planning on running some adventures in Thedas with my beloved Savage Worlds system (I'll test the idea with one shots at some con and with friends, before committing to a full fledged campaign), taking advantage of the lore books I'm about to receive.
Most of all, I sincerely wish for Bioware to keep Dragon Age world alive and beautiful as it always has been, despite the problems described in the video, which I think will be present also with its next installment. Regardless of its faults, I think that Dragon Age is a world that still deserves to be alive, known and loved. I certainly do and I hope it will be the same also for many others.
mass effect series will forever be in my heart. I hope for the best for bioware team.
Everyone in bioware has been replaced
Its not the same bioware. I wish the original members the best, not this neo bioware.
Dragon Age: Origins is by far one of the best games I’ve ever played. I remember my dad getting it for the PS3, I was enthralled by it but he wouldn’t let me play it, then 3 years ago I finally managed to play it myself on my PC and it’s an experience I’ll never forget.
Happy New Year! Thanks for another History of episode
This is the video I've been waiting for from y'all ☺️
DAII is a fine game. It improves all gameplay mechanics from DA:O (minus the lack of a tactical cam) by getting away from the CRPG “clunk”. The size and repeating dungeons certainly are a knock on its status as a “good” game, but I think the development of the companions and central struggle between the Chantry, Templars, and Circle mages is so incredibly strong it makes up for its limited setting.
I remember hating Origins because I played it on console and the CRPG elements were so infuriating I set the difficulty to easy to experience the story. Until recently (last week, to be exact) I haven’t played it on PC and it was a drastic change in experience due to the tactical camera. Origins always had the best storytelling, but its core gameplay was its largest fault. DAII improved on everything, mechanically, and created a more streamlined experience in story and gameplay. The series as a whole is a mixed bag, but Dragon Age fans can appreciate the consistent tone and handling of the lore across every game with incremental quality of life adjustments to gameplay.
New year; new fascinating episodes from GVMERS. 👍🏻
The Frostbite engine from what I understand was like pushing a car uphill with no tires when it came to working outside what it was originally intended for. Most of the time you can effectively refactor engines in some way to get the desired outcome. Like the studios that refactor engines like CryEngine, Prometheus, Source etc. But I heard that the Frostbite engine was remarkably hard to work with.
Not sure if it was intentional, but your last line gave me flashbacks to the Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer...
33:37 RIP Marauder Shields. We will never forget your sacrifice.
Last time I was this early, the Princess was in another castle.
I remember ignoring Anders throughout DA2, only for him to show up and Brevik the Chantry right at the end. Talk about burning narrative choice.
Happy new year guys!
I'm about to start playing this series. I've heard great things.
Honestly? The first one is amazing, 2nd is ok, 3rd is disappointing. :/
Just play the first the series gets worse by each game
Play them all. If you like the lore and the world, you’ll like every game. The fair weather fans have their heads in where the sun doesn’t shine.
@@kman9884 yeah the fan base is kind of more divided than i thought
The first game is Bioware's own game, the other two are EA telling Bioware what to do and putting a strict deadline on it. The results are as one might expect.
Another banger from GVMERS. Origins might be my all time favorite game. I'm saddened by how DA:II could have been so much more, as it had it's fundamentals there. Inquisition I stopped after 5 hours and could never get back into.
I’d recommend reading the prequel books by the same game writer David Gaider. Start with Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne
By far one my my most treasured memories.. thank you for this! Happy new year 🙌
Action RPG mechanics are so much better than "Watch your character turn into an anchor and stand in one spot and do a few different attacks over and over again until the enemies dead."
Amazing video detailing the development of all DA games
I would have watched this at the time but probably don't comment as much as I could. I follow several content creators who cover gaming, some from a story perspective, comedy, deep analysis or like you from a very documentary-like technique. Your videos are always compact yet informative, also so consistent in style and quality. Good luck for 2023.
I still remember seeing trailers for the original DA on Discovery Channel, but I never played them until ten years after
Fans were "toxic" when the studio suddenly changed everything about how they operated. Simplified combat, story and setting. What a cop out to blame the fans.
I must be the exception, but I LOVED DA2. The far better writing, the more immediately challenging combat, the sense of meaningful progression.
It’s rarely mentioned but the combat in Origins suffers severe balancing issues after a few levels, particularly for mage characters, who can easily one-shot high level enemies by the second act.
The combat in Origins feels ‘floaty’ with no sense of impact. And actions are always executed immediately even if it takes a few seconds for the animation to catch up. For example, if a mage or archer fires an spell or arrow at you, it will always hit even if you’ve moved or run behind cover in the meantime. It’s just not satisfying.
I can remember some very challenging dungeon crawls in DA2 that often resulted in everyone dying. But they were so satisfying to complete.
The sound design in DA2 is also incredible.
Yes a lot of assets and areas are re-used but they are typically high quality assets.
I could not get into Inquisition at all despite several attempts. Too many empty open areas with stupid fetch quests, respawning mobs (including ones you just fought to clear) and a complete lack of urgency.
And the fact that so much of the game takes place ‘off screen’ as a result of missions you send other characters to do….
Inquisition was bitter disappointment for me and I don’t have much hope for the next one.
You are so wrong that I'm not even bother to argue 😂
Btw Witcher 2 was released around same time and looked around 500x better.
Honestly I liked all three games and would definitely play the fourth
Most underrated gaming channel on youtube!!
2024: fresh playthrough of DA:I
Followed by your video -> agree to all what‘s said.
By the way: you have the greatest Voice on TH-cam!
I disagree with the characterization that the Bioware fan community became "toxic" after the releases of DAII and ME3, and that the fan backlash was responsible for developer's apprehensions and second-guessing themselves. The criticisms from fans about the shortcomings of those games were well deserved, and completely justified, not toxic at all. And if you are a developer and can't handle those kinds of criticisms to the subpar product you helped create, then you probably shouldn't be in the business.
All part of the narrative. It's all the fans fault our game is bad not us I swear.
Nah, they definitely listened to the fans too much and the Bioware forums were awesome but also fucking weird as hell. Fans can be constructive critics and toxic as hell at the same time which the Bioware fanbase definitely was back then. Stop ignoring that.
In terms of immersion, Dragon Age trumps Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights, but in every other aspect it is worse.
Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate have TONS of abilities and spells, as well as great co-op play, whilst Dragon Age falls short in these aspects
I am brand new to the series! Just now playing through origins and I am so excited to get to the rest of the series. I already love the world and the characters.
Every time I hear this narrator I remember watching game documentaries on G4. This guy's voice is perfect.
I'd be okay with a DA:O remaster (not remake) but ONLY if it kept the original art style as I think it one: had the best art style and design. And two: that style was important to the world building and the atmosphere of the game as a whole.
Otherwise just update the game to run on modern hardware.
Interesting piece. However I think the title is incredibly misleading. This should be called The History of the Making of Dragon Age. The current title suggests a more lore orientated offering (my main reason for coming). I am familiar with most of the content in this video previously.
I started the series with dragon age 2 and absolutely fell in love
I remember when the witcher 3 came out, I completely forgot about dragon age inquisition. I didn't finish my playthrough of the game until years later having completely forgot about it
Well done, one of my favorite games of all time!
Kinda sad Jade Empire didn't get a shout out as that was the first original Bioware IP, not Mass Effect.
Glad this came out, Ive been playing through the series again starting a week ago! Questions to fans of the series, if Bioware was able to actually call 2 Exodus and not tout it as a sequel do you think it would of had less flak? Aside from the gameplay choices, reused assets. Coming back to 2 I don't dislike it as much as I originally did/
I think I might be a good control group test person. I didn’t buy DA:O until a couple of years ago and immediately bought DAII when I finished the game. I was disappointed for a few minutes that I couldn’t choose my race, but got over it quickly because it’s such a good story and right off the bat the voice acting is amazing and I felt a strong attachment to the characters just based on the strength of the opening act. I didn’t know how they marketed so my expectations weren’t skewed. I didn’t know how many years there were between the first and second games, so the recycling of the stages was something I was used to based on the first game and it didn’t bother me as much.
I would say the fault might be more in the marketing than in the actual name, but calling it “Exodus” would have been far more poetic and would have set more reasonable expectations for the fans. It’s an entirely new story with entirely new characters.
That was a very very enjoyable, dramatic and well-paced documentary indeed! I So subscribe for more stuff like this! 🎉
Origins for life. I'll give 2 the fact that I loved all of the companions (except Sebastian), but I only got through the introduction to Inquisition. Nothing about it felt like Dragon Age to me. I didn't even know if the character I was supposed to be creating was a Dalish or City elf, and all of the characters look hideous, and like they're covered in some kind of reflective gunk.
O vídeo que eu estava esperando! 👏👏👏
This game at launch melted my computer.
I'll never forget buying Dragon age origins with Alpha Protocol, 2 for £30. Played around 30 minutes and put it down and played and completed Alpha Protocol, thinking it was the better game. Massively wrong was I and I played right through it multiple times and then got all the DLC as it came out. Played the others as when they came out 2 and Inquisition. Superb series and easily one of my favourites of all time. Origins for me is the best
I cant wait to see how dreadwolf is going to turn out. Great video, really informative like always
Superb. Origins and Inquisition were excellent. Still, Origins' story has a special place in my heart. Inquisition still is to me one of the best RPGs of all time together with Origins and KOTOR.
Witcher 3 however is No. 1 in my books (different type of RPG game though).
Mmm, starting the year strong with this
Dragon Age and Mass Effect will forever be in my top favorite game series. I look forward to EVERY installment and will buy and play each of them day one. The only BW game that never appealed to me was Anthem, and that mostly because it never seemed like it was MADE for a fan like me.
Happy New Year! I liked Origins and Inquisition, couldn't get into 2. Let's hope DA4 knocks it out of the park! We need the old Bioware back for 2023!
dragon age it one of the best storyline game I ever played and love it and it one of my tope game I wish I could forgot about the game and play it again
Origins will always be the best, simplification is the problem with modern gaming
Agreed. Simplification sure didn't make me enjoy the likes of Star Wars: Squadrons compared to TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance, lore sanitization aside.
My first experience with all 3 dragon age games was on the ps3, and I loved the first 2 anyway, then I got older and bought a pc and got to experience them anew with mods and much better performance and controls
Bioware used to be one of my favorite developers!
The Bioware magic !
Mismanage a company for years. Release after release, but figure it out through crunch - what a solid business model.
From watching all these game docs I've come to realize the number1 reason studios usually fail is either because they try to make their games to big/ambitious ending up overextending their time and budgets or the executives interfere with the project.
You forgot the flash games! Dragon Age Journeys and Dragon Age Legends.
Would love to see these games ported to the new systems soon. Dragon Age on Switch?? Yes please!
Hell yes, Happy New Year!
First video of the year on TH-cam!
Origin is my favourite piece of media of all time. Inquisition is my second favourite game of all time. DA II is.
My only complaint about DA:I is that it sucks that all the DLC was cut from the Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions...
Does anybody else wish we could get origins on the new generation consoles? Even dragon age 2, but they are fun games and origins is one of the best games ever made and plenty of gamers want to relive the experience with a fresh coat of paint.
Turns out "Bioware Magic" was just sleight of hand.
I think I finally have to play Dragon Age. We all know it's one of the best RPGs ever made, but for some reason I'm always like "Yeah... gonna play it... someday".
The only (emotional) Problem for me are the 2 BIG almost *criminal* letters, that continously _abuse_ customers and employees: *EA*
Great storytelling, thank you
Exodus would have been a fitting name because Bioware had become an exodus of talent and Dreadwolf is looking like a revolving door of directors, I can see no way that the game will be good.
If Dragon Age Games had kept the protagonist in all 3 games like Shepard, who knows, it could have been as popular as Masseffect games. Of course, the addition of interesting characters and updated combat in ME2 has to be factored in for its immense success as well.
great video as always!
The best (and only thing in retro) about origin was it spell-combo mechanic. Simple and functional (shut up divinity fans - I said both 'functional' & 'simple' xP)
I found myself lost in the beauty and complexity of DA games and the lore. Hopefully DA4 will be successful
I genuinely wish I had the money to contribute to your patreon, even without the benefits.
Everything I wanted the TH-cam gaming videos to become. Everything good about the more educational G4 programming, but without all the corniness of G4TV.
Keep up the good work. Documentaries like this are going to become invaluable when it comes to preserving the history of these games. Not enough being done in that regard.
It's also a weird coincidence that y'all up loaded this right when I had bought Dragon age Inquisition. Perfect timing.
