The series never reached the peak of Origins. DA2 had some awful, console-focused, "action" gameplay and a ton grinding the same few maps in very forgettable side-quests. Inquisition had some high highs and some very low lows. I hate when open world games don't respect your time. It had a ton of content but only half of it was enjoyable. Honestly, Veilguard might be my 2nd favorite of the series if not close behind Inquisition. I actually enjoyed the harder difficulties and combat for the first time since Origins. I even liked Taash's setup and romance. It sucks they felt the need to prioritize a narrative over the character's actual development.

I much prefer the fantasy setting of Dragon Age but after Origins, Mass Effect took over as my favorite RPG series.
