MODERATORS
Exactly. Origins was revolutionary at the time for it's broad branching character and narrative options. DA2 actually had a fantastic if comparatively linear story and arguably the strongest setting of all three games. DA3 for all of its bloat had a huge beautiful world to explore and strong characters. I know it's a controversial opinion, but I actually really enjoyed the combat in DA3 as well.
People get really hung up on the rose-tinted novelty of Origins at the time of its release, and it was amazing at the time, but it's hardly the best RPG ever made. I don't know if I would even consider it part of the discussion.
The problem with DA2 was that it was a decent game but a bad sequel. I've come to appreciate it but when I first played it I was incredibly disappointed. I did not want a personal narrative, I wanted freedom to role-play.
