#Dragon age elf concept art series

If you want an example of what I think is good action-rpg combat look at the KH series or Dragon's Dogma (the latter being closer in style).Д¬lick to expand.There are 2 major issues with DA2's combat. It's a game that tries to artificially create a sense of tension and style. Hawke does the same over the top animations with very little variation. On a superficial level the combat animations felt very stiff and over-styled. None of the specializations altered combat meaningfully. Enemies don't use unique talents or strategies they just get a buff. Depending on your class you could just camp in one spot and mash the button while occasionally chugging a potion/ heal spell.The difficulty levels only pad the length of combat. Despite the faster pace there's no dodging, no chance to miss attacks, or need to really plan your movements. DA2's combat never relied much on strategy outside of needing a healer or potions occasionally nor did skill play much of a role. I think action-rpgs have to walk the tightrope of providing room for tactics and skill paired with timing. They also mentioned once again that the game is coming out late Fall 2013, so think October/November.

'Cameron Lee Perry said he's had a longer pre-production on DA3 than any other BioWare project he's worked on. They reconfirmed it is being recorded and will be shown later. I'm going to make a comprehensive thread later, but for now I'll dump tidbits in here:
