Mostly it's those sci fi health bars. The layout itself is fine (it's a DAO/DA2 hybrid) and I like the stylised portraits, but everything else is too flashy, too modern and seems better suited for ME4 than DAI.
Also green health bars? Seriously? Whatever happened to the good old health = red system? (although I wouldn't mind a system where health goes from green to red as it depletes).


Can relate to that, it's flashy for sure and will take some getting used to. I do like the UI in the inventory though.

One other thing I noticed, pardon me if it's been discussed already is mana seems to regenerate immediately and quickly.

Gonna be harsh here but the real time combat looks poor. Stiff, Slow & dodgy hit boxes. I don't think people who want a good quality third person hack & slash are going to find it here. 

 

I don't think it'll be good from a pure hack and slash perspective either. I'm not expecting God of War combat requiring quick reflexes. But for me, the enjoyment of the third person combat in Dragon Age (or other RPGs) comes from building the character the way I want and having that catharsis in making him/her fight (and win) the way I choose. And with this game, compared to its predecessors, the more exciting visuals will add to that catharsis. Eventually, that'll get old, I'll up the difficulty, and I'll spend more time with tactics.

 

I also don't mind the sensationalized bit.

Also green health bars? Whatever happened to the good old health = red system? (although I guess I wouldn't mind a system where health goes from green to orange to red as it depletes).

I will never not budge from my opinion that Bioware needs to take a page out of Obsidian's book when it comes to UI.

For the smart guys saying the game-play looks poor, I bet you were the kind who praised skyrim's game-play until you reached level 25 and stopped, then started complaining about how it was repetitive and not fun.

 

Man, I bet you are also the kind who bad mouthed Origins on looks before you played it too

It looks awesome. The spell effects are so beautiful in this game. The only negative I can gain from this video is the party AI really needs to be cleaned up or those cool boss encounters like the one in the video are going to be extremely frustrating holding the hand of every companion on the field. That said, everything else looks amazing. I'm curious to know if we'll miss a lot of banter when we mount up since your companions disappear behind you? If that's the case, I'm going to want to mount up as little as possible.

 

Side note: Really enjoyed the stylish animations from the staff in DA2 and what I'm seeing from mages has me intrigued. Definitely rolling a mage first for not only to see how the world reacts to me but because they look so dang cool. It also looks like they finally get cool looking armor and no more dunce caps from DAO! Heavily leaning to Qunari just so I can laugh at everyone. I'm the Inquisitor and I'm a Qunari. Eat it Thedas. :wub:

There isn't banter when you mount up, so if you pass a trigger then you'll miss it yes.  They did say though that you pass through most areas a lot, so once you've cleared all the banter points just mount up and ride around

I guess it would be weird to hear banter on a mount and nobody around. Pretty sure my Inquisitor would be worried he's haunted at that point.

They were playing with cheats on to fight the dragon. That's why no character dies.

It's good that they release the E3 video so we can all see it, but i have one concern, why isn't Sera thinking about the Mayhem?

Sera's voice is obnoxious, and her dialogue with iron bull is cringe-worthy. The voice actor for the female qunari-mage doesn't suit her imo, she sounds too soft.

Overall I liked the official presentation showing, but I do have two fairly large complaints. One isn't actually related to DA:I though.

 

First complaint, the resolution of the video, even at 1080p is fairly poor, Compression or upload issues? Very pixelated and somewhat irritating.

 

Second, and by far the more serious complaint, Iron Bull's AI seems to be pretty bad. I don't know if it's just a melee pathfinding thing, but he can't seem to find a way to get in and attack the Dragon, and occasionally he just kind of sits around doing nothing on other battles. This is fairly consistent with what I saw in other E3 snippets, official and unofficial.

 

Now for some praise to mitigate that.

 

First off, Mage gameplay looks fantastic, So many games are content to let mage be the Microsoft Excel of gameplay. Pick spell, cast spell. The combination of Magic Combos, great VFX and embellishing animations make Mage gameplay look extremely enticing.

 

Second, the Hit-boxes, particularly on the Dragon are quite tight and precise. With even a small gap resulting in a total whiff by Iron Bulls Greataxe, conversely, another swing catches a piece of the dragon at the very end of the arc resulting in a contact. This coming off Skyrim's dragon Hitbox where you basically have an entire cell of blank space which you can swing at and still make contact.

 

"Wedge up somethin' fierce."

 

Impressive NPC count in Redcliffe. Additionally, battles happen on the road which the Inquisitor casually strolls by, to busy lookin snazzy to give even a single f**k. The NPCs are content to murder each other as long as the Inquisitor doesn't get any closer.

 

Running animations. While I'm sure most people don't consider this a big deal, remembering Dragon Age: Origins running animation, that had everyone moving as if they were fatally constipated  when weapons were drawn made me reflect on how much better DA:I's movement animations are.

I agree. Was initially planning on buying the deluxe edition, but seeing as three of the bonuses are mounts decided not to as i don't miss out on any awesome banter.

 (although I guess I wouldn't mind a system where health goes from green to orange to red as it depletes).

The bar does become red, but only when very low on health (check Vivienne at 12:32)

One uses mounts when the roads are clear; not when they need to be cleared, at least until Mounted Combat is included in the game. IMO.

Really do not get into the Romance issues; are not a priority with me. But I ache to find out more about gameplay, Character Creation, and the mechanical aspects of the game, as it can take me some time to understand it. Still recall being informed by these forums to release the Hold key so Companions would resume to follow my Warden....

 

:P

Well it also comes with a heckuva lot more stuff than just mounts...

And yes the bar does become Red. Personally I think the green health might also have to do with the whole "Green" aesthetic design they're going with Inquisition, like how the cover art is mostly green as opposed to the previous red and what not. That's just my thought.

Hahah

Call me a sucker but I'm always the one who buys the "deluxe" editions only because I'm OCD like that, I'd be like "but what if I had bought it?" plus the item backs are nice since I"m sure as hell they're all gonna end up as DLC in the future anyway so might as well get them now. + I'm loving what I hear from Treavor Morris so far so I'd love to have the soundtrack with me. + I'm curious as to what this "Bonus Digital content" entails. 

 

But I totally understand people who don't want to pay extra couple bucks for some stuff in game. I'm just the guy who likes collecting all that junk even if it's just in game items xD
