I threw up a little bit in my mouth. I hate the over the top combat in this game. People in plate armor jumping around like superheroes. It's like a bunch of 12 year olds who watch too much anime designed the animations.

I have to agree, the combat looks flat out stupid, what were they thinking?

It's part of the RPG style they took and for the sake of comparison this thread is all about TW3 is also very over the top with jumping and wide open defenses, etc.
around 2:15 you can see mano a mano fighting

Because that's how Geralt fights in the books,its pirouetting,the Witcher combat style is very acrobatic, they are trained to fight like since they do not use shields, and also switch to signs faster

Witchers have supernatural strength, agility, speed, and reflexes.
Even so the melee combat in the TW3 looks a lot better than the melee combat in DA:I. I prefer basic melee animations over over-the-top stuff like that one DA:I clip where we see the protagonist strike the Earth with his sword and send boulders flying in every direction as shrapnel.

Yeah, when I first watched the demo about 6 months ago, I was pretty annoyed myself but now I got used it. It's just one of those things Bioware seems to be stubborn about want to keep in the game. Just like paraphrasing. At least this time, the heavy weapons actually seem to have a weight effect on the characters unlike in DA 2.
If that is Yen, they screwed up her hair hard. Black and curly CDP, how the hell is that hard to do?
The hair is not a gen thing. It's a static model thing. Geralt can only have one hairstyle. That's a lot easier to animate, especially since his armour selection is limited and they can easily check for clipping. Tomb Raider is current gen title and it also had good hair.

Really I actually thought combat is the one thing TW3 looks pretty bad at. Even if it might reflect on the style of writing it doesn't in the least fit the setting. While DA always screamed over the top fantasy setting and hence the fighting fits.
But that's the problem when you compare these two simply on the grounds of being fantasy RPGs.

How does the combat in Witcher 3 look bad, in the books it goes in depth about how they fight, they do jump/ dodge around a lot since blocking an incoming attack from a huge monster would be death, also Witchers wear light armor. so how exactly does it not fit the setting?

I believe that it's authentic to the the source material but it still looks over the top with all the pirouetting which not only takes your eyes of the target but also makes it very easy to stumble and leaves your defenses completely open should your opponent simply dodge.
Also Geralt frequently blocks against monsters and uses Quen all the time to block monster attacks in TW2.
I would argue RPGs rely more on setting, writing and atmosphere than any other genre. A shooter doesn't emphasize my role like an RPG does. They benefit from immersion, they don't thrive on it. Immersion is a vague term, but I don't know a better one. When a game nails the visuals, art design, voice acting, weather effects, sound design etc. That's sensory immersion.

from bigger monsters they have to dodge. They have been taught to fight like that since being children, it makes more sense for them to dodge rather then block at least from the source material in the books. they even name specific monsters were dodging is most applicable like with manticores since they're tails are ridiculously strong.

Actually it does. Read the books.
Geralt has superhuman strength, speed, agility, endurance, and reflexes. All Witchers do, as they undergo magical alteration when they are young that turns them into killing machines perfectly designed to deal with the monsters they are designed to hunt.
Even so, the melee combat in the Witcher games is much less over-the-top than what we saw in Dragon Age 2. And judging at least from the clips we've seen of both TW3 and DA:I, DA:I's melee combat looks to be more cartoonish as well.
This isn't even a contest. Witcher will look leagues better, but that doesn't mean DA:I will look like crap in comparison.
It'll just be decidedly 'last gen'.
Oh, and I really wish Bioware was better with faces/models. It's the one area that they always fall behind other developers.

The combat looks the same as it did in W2. I played the game and the only good thing about it was the cut scenes. The game has no replay value at all for me anyways. I played it once and then forget it afterwards which I did by uninstalling it.

The setting and pacing of the game then as I haven't read the books (don't think many are available in English or German) The Witcher looks like a very gritty dark and realistic world. If there's suddenly a group of people, no matter the background, jumping around all over the battlefield moving twice as fast as everyone else it looks silly to me. Especially as the increased agility, movement and reaction speed would be used much more efficiently if they used simplistic movements.
DA is similar to Kingdom of Amalur, which had arguably one of the best fighting of recent years in RPGs, as it is just as over the top in the setting.
How come an small, obscure company from eastern europe repeatedly makes games that are bigger and prettier than videogame giant EA?
Surely they don't have more money.
...but to me, the biggest edge Witcher 3 has over DA:I is facial animations.

The animations seem unpolished/flighty compared to TW2 and I agree, they need work. DA:I seems a bit over the top, though it's a vast improvement from DA2. The mage spells in particular are impressive. It's the melee that gets too silly for my liking.

Doesn't seem that way. Better, maybe, but definitely not by far. As Eternal Phoenix pointed out: 
Also, who are those "other developers" BioWare "always fall behind with the faces/models"?
I think the common mistake in these conversations is that people confuse graphics with aesthetics or art style. Both game shave great graphics its the art style that sets them apart for me. DA:I just looks like a kids animated movie to me. The reason why it's so important to me is that it sets the tone, atmosphere, this isn't a book where you're creating the scene in your mind as you read. You're going off the visuals the game is giving you, and the graphics power has nothing to do with it.
Dragon's Dogma for example, last gen console exclusive.
All these to me look better aesthetically than what I've seen from DA:I so far. It's a darker, gritter, more serious tone, as opposed to DA:I which is trying to tell Dark Fantasy with this kiddie art design. I wouldn't let this alone stop me from buying the game, but depending on the info that comes out between now and release it may help determine what side of the fence I fall on.
I said the exact same thing about Sims 4. lol

What's casting that huge black shadow over the water? It can't be the mountain, that's too far away.
