Personally I don't see horses as practical when you are adventuring through abandoned ruins, the deep roads, or a mages tower. Horses should probably be seen as they are mentioned a lot, by I don't think Horseback combat other than what open battlefield combat. Calvary is useful, but not in difficult terrain, where they can actually be a detriment. Horses are used in games to hurry travel over open maps usually, and in dragon age, your method of travel is usually fast travel, so I doubt they would get much use.

Hopefully extensive lore for flying/underwater city and not something bioware just says "We haven't explained these cities before, but just deal with it lol"

Griffon and dragonback, I'm kind of opposed to this. You'd think if anyone had any aerial presence in Ferelden and its bordering countries, that you would have heard of it before this. Griffon's were used, but they died out. If there was some sort of aerial presence in the world, it would have been mentioned before now. So I'm disagreeing for lore reasons and my friend sitting next to me says it sounds like WoW where you bomb opposing factions on flying mounts.

Naval I'm kind of meh on. Pirates are cool, but as I've said before, Dragon Age isn't a open world map. And I'm confused where captaining your ship would come into play in a world that isn't hugely open. Also, unless a game revolves around ships and naval battles, things like this usually fall on their face and get neglected by the main game. I'm sticking to the "More story, less minigames, because Bioware makes awesome story lines"

I like the turning point and extra fighting styles. No reason not too.

I am pretty happy with DAO as it is. If Bioware wants to develop other games that incorporate new elements of battle, sure, I would gladly have a look at those.

Oblivion had some horse riding in it. I didn't find that particularly interesting, and on the PC platform it was very difficult to control the horse. Getting on and off the horse to fight a wolf or bear or whatever was awkward, and generally it was not a very appealing element of the game. So most of the time I just ran around on foot. Easier to do and pretty much as fast.

However, Ego Draconis had some flight elements that I did enjoy. After I got the hand of how to control the dragon in flight and morph back and forth between alter egos, it was probably the best part of that game. The entire game was pretty much developed around that feature. Not much of a storyline to support it, though. And not a game that I ever felt a need to replay.

DAO has a compelling story, and it would be sad to see that part of the game sacrificed in a quest for gimmicky fight elements. It is a reasonably straightforward task to build characters in DAO. In some games it is a gamble in the dark. I don't mind difficult battles, but when the way characters need to be built is a mystery too deep to fathom -- the game soon loses interest.

Perhaps games that lack interesting stories attempt to offset that shortcoming by throwing in gimmicks that (for the player) have a short-lived appeal, and by designing the character builds in ways that are excessively difficult to understand.
