yea that new gameplay trailer is really making combat a thing to get over as quickly as possible...if I wanted to play Darksouls/ stupidspinyWooogame37 I'd buy those *sigh* I thought they said they had listened and moved away from DA2 combat? Not gone all in and made it even more stupid and immersion destroying. There was nothing in DA2 worth saving.
Actually a bunch of people have stated that they PREFERRED DAII combat, Bioware has been listening, to both sides. They've given you the ability to dictate combat more tactically if you wish to, but some people like stupidspinywoo attacks and don't consider the lack of them to be a defining attribute of the Dragon Age series. As for the trailer, stupidspinywoo attacks always look nicer than actual tactics and ability management. They're gonna show their flashiest stuff in the trailer, no matter what actual gameplay feels like.
