4. Dragon Age II Combat
BioWareOne of the aspects of Dragon Age II which divided many was the flashy, highly-stylised combat. Staunch RPG-purists cite this as being the worst part of the game while more casual gamers felt that this deviation from Origins which saw the player leaping through the air like Devil May Crys Dante made the whole experience far more enjoyable. There are some hopeful fans of the second game who are still clinging onto the dream that this action-orientated preference will still be catered for, despite BioWares presence at E3 making it abundantly clear that Inquisition would return to the series original RPG style. Indeed it seems like Inquisition could well be even more tactically rigorous than Origins. The tactical, overhead camera which had been exclusive to the PC in Origins is now featured across all platforms. Moreover, of the gameplay we saw at E3 it seems clear that the pace has been slowed down greatly no longer will warriors be able to swing a two handed sword like a steak-knife or leap through the air like an Olympic gymnast.
