    Too far from what dragon age should be…

    Bring back the origins style. Looks bland and boring hack and slash

    I’ve never played a Dragon Age, and I don’t want to put words in fans’ mouths, but does this game look good to you?

      One day the series was a dark fantasy with a more tactical combat with a mix of turn based combat.

      Now this shit is a High Fantasy with Kingdom of Amalur combat.

      Don’t listen to the whiners. There are 3 games in the Dragon Age series and only one of them can be considered a “Tactical” game. Hell, I remember all of the fallout and whining from fans when Dragon Age 2 became more of an arcade hack and slash. And then Inquisition was just a combo of the two styles that leaned towards Action over Tactics.

        Thank you! People forget that this hasn’t been a tactical series since the first game. It’s like people complaining that Zelda BOTW wasn’t a top down 2D puzzler.

    This combat system looks objectively worse. No control over companions, no overhead view and issuing commands via a tactical view. Graphics look fine but for a 4th game in a series I’m not impressed.

      The days when Dragon Age was a whitebox version of Baldur’s Gate are long behind us, my friend. First came prioritizing consoles over PCs, then an awkward halfway house between action and tactical combat, now approaching Dragon’s Dogma action combat. The one thing I’ll say about DA: it’s consistently inconsistent.
