Thanks for the video Mike, and everyone else behind the scenes. I really like how the combat is much faster. Honestly, I never felt like I could properly pause and play in DA:O on the consoles. It's looking like DA2 will change this.

I'll be showing this to some of my friends that don't come to the forums. I hope this finally settles some concerns people have had over the PC gameplay and combat in general. Or at least it will for some people anyway

What happened to the "lol hack & slash"? Doesn't this video prove exactly what we "BDF" have been trying to say?

*sips from his chalice*

So wait, now you actually admit you guys actually do run around defending bioware for the sake of it?

Glad the video's being well-received! I am now terrified of Mike randomly appearing out of some darkened corner, though.

BDF ftw. I'd be a card-carrying member if there were a card of some kind that I could carry.

If being a BDF member means not overreacting and deciding the game will be terrible before even seeing proper gameplay footage etc. then sure sign me up. Do we get free parking and a discount?

Glad to see the combat looks pretty good, although I wasn't really too worried about it anyway, since I lean more towards the action side than the pause-and-play side (I relied more on tactics and very little on pausing in DA:O). Rogue is a tad over-the-top for my tastes, but I wasn't planning on playing one anyway, so no big deal to me.

I do hope these are the graphics on low, though. They didn't look very high quality. But considering this was a video to display the combat, not the graphics, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just lower graphical settings.

The only thing I didnt like about that was the new ability and spell icons, they look a bit...I dunno, futuristic? Other than that, it was awesome.

That does sound a little disturbing.

It was very Tales From the Crypt to me. Though I'm not completely sure why.

The mage robes look beeeeeee-oooooo-ti-full!

Oh, if the devs' coffee comes from our tears then what does BDF coffee come from? I so want to join!

Also, I am convinced Laidlaw is Batman now.

BDF coffee comes from Dave of Canada's sweat glands last I heard.

I suspect he either passed out or is frantically checking the calendar to determine whether it's 2015 or 2020 already.

Just for fun information, I'm recording every move used by the characters in the video to compile a list of moves that we now know are in, based on this video only.



Hawke-Rush, Backstab, Evade, Miasmic Flask



Varric-Bursting Arrow, Kickback, Miasmic Flask, Rhyming Triplet, Hail of Arrows, Pinning Shot,



Aveline-Battle Synergy, Taunt, Tremor, Stonewall, Bravery, Turn the Blade, Rally, Shield Bash,



Bethany-Death Syphon, Crushing Prison, Winter's Grasp, Spirit Bolt, Fireball, Walking Bomb, Glyph of Paralysis, Firestorm,

[Leonia]

Wow Bethany really is dabbling in multiple schools there.. I guess that's the benefit of how skills/spells are accessed now.

No. I'm just saying the people who've been labeled "BDF" have been saying this for months but we were labeled as nothing but blind fanboys, idiots who believed Laidlaw's lies and such.

Funny how that changed.

[Arius23]

Looks just like DA:O which is fine with me, but is the GUI and graphics displayed the final build? The GUI was quite plain and the jagged edges were a bit distracting.

It proves that tactics are optional.

Tactics done on the fly are still tactics. Ask any military commander whose been under fire. You might start with an overall plan in mind, but you have to make allowances for changing situations. Simply put they don't have the opportunity to hit pause and consider how too move everyone around. Some people enjoy playing that way, I'm one such person. I like the pause because it allows me to set things up at the beginning and if necassary take a time out if things get too hairy, or if I wan't to set something spectacular up. Otherwise it's all real time.

Pause is still relatively realistic because if you had 4 actual people with people's brains who had trained to fight together, they would use tactics fairly similar to what pause leads to.

[frankopan]

 I did not like pausing every 4 seconds or so in DAO. I hope this time around I can let the combat flow and not penalized for it. I get the feeling though that as you run into higher tier enemies in larger numbers the game will force you to pause. 

[Khayness]

Well, making AoE attack ranges ridiculously huge compensates for the isometric view in gameplay terms, but the feeling is lost

Do you think he's trying to spook all those who were demanding the video.

"You asked for it... now I'll see you tonight... in your dreams..."

[Liyros]

That video was pretty gnarly and looks like it was effective at assuaging most people's concerns about combat. I do have to say Varric's run is super cute.
