I'm playing Dragon Age Inquisition at the moment and having a good time with it, but I feel like Bioware is stuck in the past with their modelling and animation.
Apart from the added effects and benefits of the Frostbyte Engine, it doesn't feel like things have evolved dramatically since the first Dragon Age and I've spend hours staring at Bioware models and canned animations through the Dragon Age games, the Mass Effect games and Star Wars: The Old Republic.
While their new character creator has depth, wrestling with it to produce decent results feels like a chore. I spend 3 hours starting over, since my character looked alright when I made her, but like a total spaz once she started animating in the game. I did manage to make something I'm somewhat pleased with, but it could have been so much better.
I wish they'd stick to writing and game design and then outsource animation and modelling to someone like this Korean studio who is doing this action MMO. Look at this thing! It's gorgeous!
