[@Itharl]

Glad to see all the first impression videos dropping today, always nice to get a diversity of opinion on controversial games. So far I'm cautiously optimistic. I know a lot of folks are disappointed at the lack of strategic combat, but that's where the series has been heading since the second game. The more strategic ones seem to be more of a niche audience, so it's harder to find those in the triple A space anymore. You'll still see it in smaller games; Obsidian still does them a lot, for example. Dragon Age has always been in a weird place. At least the gameplay looks solid and the story seems decent by all accounts. The art style is the only thing I'm meh about at this point, but eh, at least it's consistent and the environments look *really* good.

[@Adanu191]

The strategic combat is why I PLAYED this series. It's removal means I have no interest in continuing with this series. I couldn't stand to play Inquisition more than once just for the story.. I play through DAO a dozen times, same for DA2.

[@teyrncousland7152]

Strategic Combat is not niche as proven by BG3 and Dragon Age has been following the wrong trends since the second game. They should have stuck to their roots.

[@swordofkhaine8464]

@@teyrncousland7152 DAO actually failed financially with only 2.8M copies sold, which is why devs went looking for solutions. They were told slow combat was the problem which is why they made combat super fast in DA2. Inquisition was obviously inspired from open world success of games like Skyrim. DA4 is inspired from GoW and Final Fantasy. reason they chase trends because their original work (DAO) was a financial failure despite being an artistic masterpiece. Even Swen didn't expect BG3 to be that successful but remember despite BG3 being GOTY it still couldn't beat an above average game like Hogwart's Legacy in sales.

[@AntwKats]

What a bunch of nonsensical bs, plz explain then why the expansion and the rushed 2nd game? Do u even remember how DA2 was received?As for the combat the real reason is Consoles, That is why they changed the combat to more action based, to accomodate for the use of 🎮

Still on the fence about this one. Im a sucker for a robust character creator. But also as someone who has played since origins, the art style is REALLY not doing it for me. If this were a separate ip I think I would be much more open to it I think. But as a Dragon age game im definitely going to need to warm up to the new style if I get it. The general criticism that the combat looks like its from a mobile game looks correct. I dont hate mobile games necessarily, but I still feel like that's a mark against this game. Also, not to get political, but when the director comes out with statements like this game is "inherently queer" and a place for "the marginalized communities to have representation where we feel proud and powerful in how we are depicted.” It's a bit of a red flag in how this story may have been written and how interactions with your party members will be like. Will this game focus much more on the fantasy and the world setting? Or will there be a bunch of immersion breaking moments due to someone's political views finding their way into the final product? If its anything like baldurs gate 3, I'm not worried. But I will be waiting to see before I decide to purchase.

[@hemellicht]

damn, was hoping it was more like inquisition, it looks like I will have to pass on this one.

Idk man I agree the first two trailers were not great but everything afterwards has been great.

I am kinda OK with not controlling companions directly. ME2 worked that way aswell, and it was actually very smooth, especially for combos, as you could just slot your companions basically as extra abilities and when you pressed their ability it was usually instant, making combos feel very fast, fluid and gratifying, where in older DA games it was usually quite clunky (as you had to switch, orient yourself, wait to complete its current action or even get in range to fire off the ability you wanted).
