Dragon Age hasn't been good since Origins.
Sad truth. 2 was a complete mess with the combat being the only redeemable quality and inquisition was just ugly gay shit.
Origins was already under development when EA bought Bioware. It's one of the last genuine "old Bioware" titles we got before EA fucked everything up.
The biggest bummer to me was Origins sets up a pretty interesting world and overarching story that immediately went straight into the garbage after release. It was like they couldn't throw the darkspawn plotline away fast enough. What did they replace it with? Muh racism (DA2) trite 'fight the demon invasion' (Inquisition) and now apparently 'moar demons' (but without the sexy topless succubus demons of course.) Instead of the darkspawn as a persistent ever-looming threat we just get dumb stories about waring old crone and a gay elf.
The games are called DRAGON age. Not Demon Age or Racism age. They were clearly setting up a story for the Arch-dragons to emerge and devastate the world along with the ancient magisters and whoever else. The whole underdark world where people are dragged off and fed into horrors was pretty cool and unsettling, it was way more effective than "the gays no wait I mean the mages should have equal rights". All that set up and lore from Origins down the tubes. It's the biggest other waste of a good plot since ME3. Which figures.
