What’s crazy about it is at least here at Destructoid, it gains the ire of many commenters who want nothing to do with the series — but lots of people tune in to read about it and it still sells millions.

Find some solidarity in this new Dragon Age: Inquisition ‘Stand Together’ trailer

Get up, stand up Honestly, I’m a little lukewarm onDragon Age: Inquisition. The footage out of E3 2014 failed to impress, and I find myself joiningThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’scamp instead.
