Do I need to play the other Dragon Age games to understand the new one?

hmm not necessarily. you might miss some things that is meant to get long time fans to go "oh hey, i remember you". other then that? no. you might need to glance through the Codex every once and a while.
UI is shit so good luck with that endeavor.

No. Don't even think I'd recommend it at this point.
If you do, only play Origins. DA2 is poop.

Its a wrpg by bioware. Some sjw elements to it (writers are massive pricks), but otherwise DA:I seems to be quality.

Was more referring to the series as a whole. Played Origins and 2. Haven't touched Inquisition yet. Not sure if I plan to either. DA2 killed off the love I had for Origins.

Its not over flowing with the tripe, but it definitely comes up repeatedly throughout the games. I'm not a fan of how bioware writes characters. I definitely want more diverse roles, but they go about it in such a stereotypical way.

Reminiscent of how gear box handles borderlands and these topics. Dialogue makes me cringe a lot. Not a lot of subtlety or depth to it either. I guess I just don't like feeling that a vidya is trying to lecture me, or push an agenda. Characters should feel natural, and not like they're hitting the talking points.

Mostly put off by how the writers act on their forums and on twitter though. But again if you ignore all that Inquisition seems like a genuinely good game from everything I've seen and heard.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
Gameplay is somewhere between DA:O and DA2, but the writing is pretty bad and the story isn't very fulfilling. If you like Mass Effect 3's Citadel missions, then you'll love DA:I's side-missions. Graphically, it's full of QUALITY moments and sometimes I can't tell if Sera's supposed to be an elf or an ogre.
