Honestly? I've been considering not getting rid of my Xbox One until I've acquired and played the first two at least once. Inquisition is my first Dragon Age and if I'm getting that level of characterization and worldbuilding in the first two? Sign me right up, even with older graphics. I really wanna watch Varric go from companion to Hawke (and probs an idiot) to the dad-friend he is in DAI, never mind watching Leliana grow from the upstart to the spymaster. (and I already have Leliana feels because I definitely read her bio and that backstory) And I want to fall in love with the other companions I've read about via spoilers. But I only have so much space since I'm moving from TX to PA and *panic face* logistics.
Solas can go eat an entire bag of sand as far as I'm concerned, but all of the other companions are just so themselves and I love it. Hells, even Solas is himself, he's just a manipulative lying arse. The end of Trespasser still hurt even though we were not BFF because he was a fully-realized character. I was sitting there half-laughing at myself because "the egg has betrayed me" but also the Egg betrayed me and it hurt? even though I knew it was coming?
I didn't mind the fetch quests and minor actions, but I also limit my workweek gaming time to an hour and a half, which is just about enough time for the piddly stuff, and then dump several hours on a Sunday into main quest stuff. Different playstyles and all. Since I play as a fighter, my party is usually Dorian/Varric/either Cassandra or Bull, and sometimes just hitting hard with Dorian/Vivienne/2 fighters for dragons or bigger bads. That sweet party banter keeps me going.
