One random thing: I've finished 2 playthroughs now and I don't think I've seen a finishing move. I don't know if they disabled them for the demo, I just missed one, or what. But, yeah, that's odd.


No more finishing moves.


Praise the Lord.

The last time I did the Market part of the Final Battle, my Warden decided to use the finishing move on EVERY SINGLE OGRE. There's like... 12 of them, and each of them just slows everything to a crawl because slow-motion is, apparently, the bomb.


To clarify, we will still see the occasional ogre killing finishing moves, but normal finishing moves on darkspawn is no longer in the game.


Curse the Lord!

I actually liked THOSE finishing moves. Assuming you mean like... the decapitation and such. My Warden also liked doing that on key enemies, like Ser Cauthrien. I just laughed and laughed at how my Warden went from "Maybe we should surrender..." to just chopping off Cauthrien's head. xD


Because the combat animation has changed you should see something similar to the old finishing moves anyway.

@all who apologized for not posting in my temporally superior thread: Apology accepted. You will not feel my force choke-rage. If I have any.

NOW GO POST THERE ALREADY!!

Alternatively, change the title of this one to make it more generic and less 'this is MY playthrough on MY x360' and close down all the other feedback threads. Whatever works. :police:

Most annoying complaint and can be game breaking is I can't read it, the text is really tiny and blurry! I need to be able to read it so I can read the talents and skills so I level the way I want. Posted Image

Rogue dual weild DPS was really pitiful too, more flashy then useful. If your talents are on cooldown, u might as well not even try to hit anything, lol, sad but true. That was my first character though so I'm willing to still give them a go in my signature edtion, just hope trying to READ the text when leveling won't give me a migraine like it did right now and I only played for what 15 mins?

I did like Aveline more then I thought I would, she's actually not so fugly in game and I like her personality.

Everyone is going to post their own thread with their take. That's kind of what forums are for.

OP, since your thread is doing so well do you think you could change the title to include other platforms?

[EDIT] WARNING: Possible Spoilers WHY was Wesley's death so much more dramatic than Carter's? *Carter dies* "Oh well dem's the breaks." *Wesley dies* (bust out the kleenex) >_< I think if my brother/son died I would have a bit more to say then, "Oh crap that sucks...." The only one who even came close to crying was Bethany. That being said, the demo was great. xD

I guess you're not playing on an HD? Mass Effect 2 had the same problem, and it's REALLY annoying.

I took control of Varric for a few seconds to play with the bow for a sec, seems OP, just like in Legends, lol. But I touched it for like two seconds to fire off his abilities to look at the pretty lights of the arrows to see what it looked like really.

The text was a big problem for a lot of people (for me, a bit) in Mass Effect 2 also. It seems that they are carrying over a lot of trends and not simply the dialogue wheel - the pause menu was looking awfully familiar as well.

I can read it decently for the most part everywhere but the loading screens. I was having to squint just to see the words. But it's probably my own fault for having a craptastic TV.

I have to agree about the text being to small and blurry hope its better in the actual game.

I have a SDTV but it's big a 32" and for me it's pretty hard to read for a person who has glasses on :(

First of all. The demo is short. I thought it was really short and I wanted to grrrrr.....
I played Lady Hawke, warrior, sword and shield.
Anyway, as I posted in another thread....

Happiness to console fans, they make tactical playing so much easier and better than DA:O. I can actually select where to move the party member with a cursor like target that you move around the battle. The wheel is very similar to DA:O in 360 but they added the "move" target so that I can move the whole party one way or the other. Yes, just like the PC. We, (as in consoles), didn't have that before and it makes the tactical aspect of it so much better. I was pausing a lot to move around the battles and give orders out.
That is definitely a plus plus for console playing. I loved it!


I could also level while in battle, not sure if that was for the purpose of the demo or we are going to be able to.
I thought the graphics were great, Lady Hawke's armor looked awesome, the textures looked great and oh so much better than DA:O. Kirkwall seemed very nice and too bad we could barely explore the area...

Overall the game looks great and as a console player I'm way happier with the graphics and the more tactical freedom while playing. Very similar to DA:O in many aspects and we still get that similar DA music in the background.

Also I noticed that depending of what your last "tone" in the conversation you choose, Lady Hawke acts accordingly. For example I gave a strong answer, when the cutscenes are happening, I noticed Lady Hawke answered in that same tone while I wasn't in control. I'll have to play it a few times and go through different choices, but I'm sure I noticed that in two instances....

Sorry if I'm all over the place~ :P

Only thing thats bugging me so far is theres no auto-attack toggle in the menu or radial in this demo to try out. And a lot of the skill webs look like really old builds. The interface for it also looks a hell of a lot different then the Giantbomb one so it makes me wonder if the demo was sectioned off months ago and the main games developped past it, instead of recently being sectioned off.

That aside the textures and combat Im lovin'. Game looks better then I was expecting as far as texture resolution, and it runs pretty smoothly. few 'hitchs' here and there randomly but that only seems to be in conversations and im chocking that up to old demo build then anything else atm.

Also haven't had any issue reading anything but im running it via HDMI at my PC desktop resolution atm on a HD TV. Looks better then 1080 that way. Oddly slightly smaller resolution, 1360x768 (so bit bigger then 720). Its kinda funny I think the 360 actually renders everything in 768 by default but you get a zoomed in view a bit for 720 resolution.

Anyways nice textures, can't wait for these 2 weeks to be up.

Besides the small text the demo was pretty amazing. This just makes me want to buy the game even more.

Sure did, sir! Not as many flashy attack animations but gets the job done. Only problem I have (as I described on the last page) is that you have to hit the A button for each normal arrow you want to shoot. But there should be an option in the full game to toggle that to "hit A once per enemy".

What I really liked was that even normal attacks with the bow seem to have bit of a knockback effect and special abilites really hurl your opponent's back like being hit by a car or something. Feels nice  :D
