So i played and loved Dragon Age Origins but haven't played any of the others.. SHOULD I?
Everyone will have an opinion about this and it will differ vastly. My take on this is if you loved the overarching lore/setting, then you should at least give the others a try.
DA2 combat was different from DA1 as it felt distinctly focused towards a controller rather than mouse & keyboard. The story was not a direct continuation of DA1, although there are references and character appearances.
DA: Inquisition was somewhat "open world". In my taste it had too much side content, combat was more like DA1 though. I just wish it was a bit of a shorter game. As far as story goes, I enjoyed DA: Inquistion more than DA2, but not more than DA1.
Veilguard is not out yet ... so all we have are these early reviews. TL;DR - if you REALLY like the world setting then yes, play the others released up until now (although some might argue against DA2 as it felt a bit claustrophobic and not everyone will like the combat).
