In fact, the only reason I ever turned on Tactical View was as a makeshift “flycam” to take screenshots.
Tactical view was so irritating for me that I never used it and just hacked and slashed my way through the whole game. I wish the combat system were less clunky and boring in DA:I. That being said, here are the top 10 mods that we modding folks need to create, stat! Overall, I’d say DA:I is a great game that will be very enjoyable for anyone who likes RPGs. The only way it could have been a 100 hour game is if I 1) turned on nightmare mode, 2) did every repetitive side quest (hello, collecting Shards, anyone?), and 3) turned off subtitles and listened to all the dialogue instead. Whew, I just finished my first playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition! I did a fairly thorough and complete run at just under 35 hours (not including my hour on the character creation screen alone, ha!), despite Bioware’s claim of it being a 100 hour game.
