Not sure anyone consider Dragon Age as a IE-like game anymore since 2011 (release of DA2)


Yeah, they have strayed pretty far, but the essence is still there. Custom protagonist in a party based epic fantasy RPG that mixes (ostensibly) tactical combat with a player driven narrative experience. DA has a bit of an identity crisis where it is trying to appeal as both a tactics game and an action game, and in my opinion ends up being a poor demonstration of both. That and I feel modern BioWare RPGs are more about your companions than they are about the actual story, which wouldn’t be so bad but for me not liking most of the party members.

Still, I would still considers the series in the same lineage. Bloated and inbred, but related.
