None of the long drawn out fights really make you feel like a badass because you'll probably employ SOME form of kiting during the fight
or they'll just take TOO long if you're going all strategic and stuff.

However, there are some highly entertaining "little things" which I relished in, during combat.

- running my mage into the middle of a fight and doing "Mind Blast". that was good for a couple of days worth of chuckles'

- having my 2H DPS tank zig-zag around the map (closing manoeuvre, Scythe) and ending with a nice Whirlwind.
Actually Scythe alone was quite entertaining to watch.

- Varric's "Death Arrow" thing, when used on non-bosses

Just thought to warn op what is to come.

The templars bowing to Hawke.............now THAT was satisfying.

Giving the Rock Abomination my answer.

Cutting through mobs with Scythe, Whirlwind and Mighty Blow made me feel badass enough.

This. But people do it all the time anyway.

Varric going all Scarface

A certain character saying, "Say hello to my little friend."  Funny enough not ever with my Hawke ( I spent most of my time in boss fights running in circles to the Benny Hill theme music screaming like a 7 year old school girl).

Hmm there are a few good ones. I like freezing rogues in the air and then blowing them up. Though if you don't they just stay in the air and ignore gravity which is both funny and annoying.

Oh and you can't beat using Makers Fist on humans!

Killing the Arishok in single combat. Took me forever, almost ran out of potions, but definitely felt i earned my "Champion" title after that

Speak for yourself.  I had to run around in circles trying to stay alive.  I felt like a wimp after that.

LOL...yeah, same here. But, for me it was the mutual respect thing going and Iiked that, so I kept at it and eventually got him but it took a while to do it. I had no idea he could move so damn fast but figured out how to use that to my advantage. I was a Mage in that one.

The game needs more scenes like this. Like the way Shepard pushed the merc through the window.

I have to agree with some of the other folks, it was most certainly NOT this fight.  I kited him around (even on normal) which just felt silly and broke the immersion big time, the fight was amazingly poorly designed.   There was no gravity or seriousness to the situation.  The fight with Loghain in Origins had a much, much greater impact because it wasn't ****g silly like this one ended up. 

The Arishok had too much HP/armor and some of the attack animations (being hoisted up impaled on a blade...really?) were obscenely silly as well.

It felt unsatisfying because I kited the hell out of him, I wasn't a champion, I exploited the game system to beat the boss (because that's the only way to do it because he was horribly balanced).

I can tell you what else didn't make me feel awesome, the combat: also silly, and over the top and the blood balloon enemies.

Silly, over-the-top combat and boss fights that feel like boss fights (where you know you're playing a game and look for ways to win rather than participate in the experience of going toe-to-toe with a respected adversary) are NOT awesome.

Uninstalling it after act 1 did it for me.

When the I made a sexy time with Miranda.

[JediHealerCosmin]

Meh, every companion had a badass introduction, but Hawke didn't give me any feeling at all.

I prefered when we had fatalities, those were great.

 

[Byth]

Taking down that high dragon. It took 20 poutrices, a high level healer, and a powerful tank to do it, but when I took that Champion Armor from it's corpse it was all worth it.

That was so cool when my mage did that.

I didn't like feeling "badass" I thought I was supposed to be playing an ordinary man but into stressful situations, not a killing machine.

Bioware's story department could learn a thing or two from the first DieHard movie & The Song of Ice & Fire

[LPPrince]

Archery at all times.

But to be honest, I felt my Warden was way more badass than Hawke.

[Wishpig]

Everytime my rogue Hawke kicks a flask in someone's face I feel badass

And the bow melee moves look friggin awesome. About damn time too! Some very bad ass animations.

Lol... what? John Mclain certianly is a kiling machine in my book though!

That said, EVERY bioware character is a killing machine. Not a single one is ordinary. An ordinary man doesn't rape dragons or carve there way through small armies with a handfull of odd companions.

Why you would expect to be playing an ordinary man is beyond me...

But I think EVERY fantasy franchise could learn something from game of thrones . Dark fantasy at it's very best!

Telling everyone how blood magic is bad and when they did not listened killed them with blood magic!

100% agree. It was quite satisfying whenever he went into Rage-Hawke mode, but there weren't enough.

If you're reading this Devs: we want more scenes like this in DA3 not less!

In my humble opinion, badassery is an integral component of games... especially in RPGs where you're supposed to identify strongly with the character.

I disagree completely with your basic premise.

In many games (action games, mostly), making the player feel empoered is a primary design goal.

But in an RPG, you (the player) aren't the one doing things in the game.  You are not your character.  I don't think identifying with your character is important, or even desireable.

Um that is what you are supposed to do in an RPG...role play that character, be that character, identify with that character.  If you don't find that desireable, okay. If you dont' want to be that character, also good for you.  But most of us who RPG, we want to identify with that characer and feel as if we are that character. Otherwise I could just go play a first person shooter, or hack and slash, or and MMORPG with no history or backstory to your character. 

Unless you were going for sarcasm? I iz confused...
