Dragon Age Inquisition Opening Review

I am not loving Dragon Age Inquisition as much as I had hoped I would. It's not a bad game, it just feels like for everything they put into the game, they didn't finish with it or completely think it threw. So before you read my thoughts on the game, I'm only 30 hours in. If things get better I'll let you know but so far this is what I'm thinking.

Pros:
  • The character creator is back. It's so much fun, I think I spent a couple hours making my toon.
  • Lots of side quests
  • Very nice graphics
  • you get a mounts

Cons:
  • Character combat management. More often than not my party randomly runs off and gets me in trouble and almost never does what I want them to.
  • Dinky Maps. All but one of the maps is so small. The one large map is nice a big, but all the others are just small.
  •  You never feel like their is any point to having the mounts
  • I never fee like I'm being rewarded for anything. Kill a major boss, here's a dagger that was good three levels ago.... yay.
  • Specializations seem super reduced
  • On the PC, the game feels like port.
On the whole the game reminds me more of the second Dragon Age game, than the first one. The first Dragon Age game is still my favorite but we'll see as the game plays out if it gets any better.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.

Gearbox has released news on the next DLC of Borderlands 2, T.K Baha's Bloody Harvest.  We first met T.K. Baha in the first Borderlands game, blind, missing a leg and brandishing a shotgun.
