How do you like dragon age 3? I never got further then a couple hours in. Thought 2 and 3 were pretty blah compared to the 1st which i beat a few times.
I know this wasn't addressed to me, but I'll answer it as well. The first was easily the best of the three. It felt like a legitimate old school RPG like BioWare used to make before they got obsessed with the action (which was a good thing in Mass Effect but a bad thing in Dragon Age). The second one was pretty much a disaster. You could tell it was just rushed and unfinished due to EA stressing deadlines, much like what happened to the ending of Mass Effect 3 (which goes to show that you should spend money on the beginning and ending first, then flesh out the middle...if you run out of cash fleshing out the middle, it's easier to make cuts and still keep the story coherent).
The third Dragon Age is a lot better than the second, as it recaptures the big, epic world that the first one did so well at establishing. It's just not as entertaining. I kind of feel like it plays itself. Yeah, you can pause and issue orders, but how often does anyone actually do that in a game like this? It's one thing in a turn based game, because those are inherently more strategic. I just thought every battle in Inquisition just turned into a giant clusterfuck where your AI companions are on autoplay and you just run around in circles spamming magic as it becomes available. It's not awful, but it also doesn't feel terribly skillful or exciting. I never really got a sense of accomplishment from beating any enemies because I felt like I basically just did the exact same thing when fighting everyone.
Contrast that with Mass Effect, where I felt like there was an actual sense of strategy in some of the bigger fights. Different enemies required different tactics, and you got a sense that the abilities you used in battle actually mattered. Yeah, that happens occasionally in Inquisition, but mostly the fights are just slogs.
The story isn't bad, though. I haven't beaten the game yet, but I played it for at least 20 hours I think. It's a little cliche in that there's a big bad and you have to (presumably) track him down and kill him, but the dialogue is as solid as you expect from BioWare and the characters are mostly interesting enough to like. I also like how big the world feels. The first area you visit is massive with tons of things to find and do. Most of the areas I got to after were either significantly smaller or a bit smaller, but the game still dwarfs Dragon Age II in world size and content. Of course, a lot of that content can be boring and repetitive, like picking flowers and mining ores, or the general fetch quests (of which most quests fall into).
So yeah...better than Dragon Age II, but not nearly as good as the original Dragon Age.

As far as The Witcher III goes, I'll note that I've had the game crash on me two or three times so far due to my GeForce driver crashing. However, I literally downloaded an updated GeForce driver released today for Witcher III while I was typing this, so that may solve the problem. I save all the time in games that allow it, though, so I've only ever had to replay a couple of minutes worth of content or conversations.
