Which Dragon Age games are worth playing? (lemmy.ml)

I have never played any of the Dragon Age games, but I just gained access to the GamePass tier that has EA games, so I can play any of them.

I absolutely love all of Bioware's "classic" works (KOTOR, Mass Effect) where conversation choices affect the plot of the game. Would you guys recommend just playing the Dragon Age games in order of release, or what is the general consensus?

DA2 was polarizing but I enjoyed it.

The writing was pretty good. Just gets boring playing literally the same ten maps over, and over, and over, and over again.

DA2 takes a different take for me when I realized that you're playing through Varric's retelling of the story. It kinda explains why people are falling out of the sky to join the battle and other inconsistencies.

This gets often overlooked, glad it got brought up. The entire game is an exercise in unreliable narration. Gives you a very different lens to experience the game through.
