With the change of engine, the game looked different and is unrecognizable from DAO and DA2. There's something not quite right about the feeling, mood and the artistic identity of Dragon Age 3 - it doesn't have its own distinct and compelling style. That is quite worrying. It's almost like a mix of Warhammer and Skyrim - it's just...flat.
The trailer's narrative else well was also disappointing, from what I've come to expect from DA games. Just plain cliche doom and gloom but zero compelling or intriguing plot to draw us into what should be a good storyline that BW loves to build.
Although the game has some ways yet for development and can be relatively easy to rectify, I still think it's a tremendous shame that characters that we know - Varric, Cassandra, Morrigan - undergone model/facial changes that made them not only barely recognizable, but plain ugly as well. It potentially sends a very bad message to lovers of the DA world - that the developers once again failed to take heed of many of the fans' dislike for mutilating their favorite characters into something unacceptable. After the mini-debacle that is DA2, that's not something the DA team should be doing. I'm sure there are a lot of love and care that went into making the game and all, but this is showing the opposite. The details matter. This kind of attitude going into it is unacceptable. Mike Laidlaw, Mark Darrah and the team have a lot yet to answer for in my book. IMO this could be the make or break game for the DA franchise planned to go on for many many games - please look closely at yourself and improve as much as possible, as fast as possible - there's still time to salvage this, it's not too late.
