    Specifically in terms of gameplay? I recall Origins had a pretty gimped control scheme on consoles.

    They are the same game. I prefer playing with the controller and I prefered the previous 2 on mouse and keyboard.

    I can't say if there are differences in the number of enemies or difficulty like in Origins but I don't think there is.

    This time around it's made for controllers. The Mouse and Keyboard controls are kinda bad.

    It's pretty ironic that previous Bioware games on PC had zero controller support (despite working great on consoles) and now DA:I plays like trash unless you have a controller.

    @rethla: Yes, I've tried it. Compared to the last two games, it controls like garbage. Of course, that could be because somethings like auto-attack, queuing commands, and controlling AI tactics are removed. The tactics view is also useless because it no longer highlights allies or enemies through the parade of spells and fireworks. In general though, it felt very sluggish compared to DA2 on PC. I guess most of these problems aren't specific to MKB controls, but they are amplified by them.

    Not nearly as good as FFXIV's hotbar-to-controller control scheme, but it gets the job done. Feels better than Origins did on a controller, even though it's basically the same thing.

    I'm playing on PC with a controller. One of my friends who came over and watched me play some says it's just like the console version, only it looks slightly better and runs at 60 fps instead of 30.

    I tried mouse and keyboard but I found it unplayable. It's designed to be played with controllers.

    @octaslash: I agree with everything but nothing of what you say can be summarized as "it plays like trash without a controller". It plays like trash compared to Origins sure but thats another thing.

    I have the PS3 version and it looks worse than a lot of PS2 games in some areas. Buggy as hell too.

    I've played it on PC with mouse and keyboard, and on PS4 with a controller. It's all good, baby. And it plays very similarly.

    The only difference should be graphical. PS3/360 runs on low settings and PS4/XONE on high settings (PS4 at a higher resolution though). On PC you can play on Ultra settings if your PC can handle it which looks better than any console. I have a mid range video card and run a mix of high and ultra at 1080p. Playing with a 360 controller.

    PCs will always have the best look and the best control (KB&M or your preferred controller).
