...I still prefer DA2 combat system to DAI...
The barriers/guard thing is really nice, and the legions of base-jumping enemies magically appearing had to go, but I really really miss the combat tactics page :|
Remember when you could prioritize who a spell was cast on? Or at what distance from the enemy an ability was used? Or what to do if your character was being wailed on? Or what ability to use if an enemy was disabled (frozen, paralyzed, ect) in order to set up combos?
all the combat in DAI revolved around using the tactical cam, which was not only clunky as hell but broken to boot!
TL;DR I miss not having to micromanage my party members
