I liked the combat in Inquisition. But this looks like ME3, which I liked way more.

DAINQ with better combat, and the same structure should be great. The reason I hated DAINQ was because the side poo poo was boring because the combat was boring. I did every single mission and 100% all three of the ME games. Because even when I was on some MMO rear end kill group here quest the combat Loop was fun.

I liked Inquisition's combat and crafting systems a lot more than Witcher 3's. I'd also like it if crafting systems went away forever outside of base building.

I think crafting should always be optional when there's difficulty levels. Optional and game-breaking on normal, necessary on hard.

Zore posted:Witcher 3 combat and crafting is utter garbage. Ok, less tedious and boat loads better than DA:I at any rate, I think. At least crafting doesn't require obscene amounts of each resource and it's all so plentiful just from contracts and quest rewards alone that you don't ever actually have to really LOOK for the materials. TW3's combat definitely seems to be polarizing but I didn't mind it at all, roll and dodge and heavy hits while slapping on Quen and utilizing potions and oils. Felt like a dance almost.(appropriate since Witcher fighting is likened to dancing anyways) Mymla posted:DA3 had very good combat. People who didn't like it probably played it on easy and left the rest of the party to their own devices. Or cause it felt like a hosed up hybrid between pnp combat and hack and slash and it just didn't work at all and in fact was just plain tedious especially with the horrible UI and forcing one to basically babysit each party member is poo poo and a pain in the rear end thanks to a useless tactical camera!(why did they gimp the behavior customization so much? it was amazing in DA:O) Deakul fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Jan 4, 2017 |

If it's optional why even dedicate the resources to developing it as a feature.

They could only use recycled assets for optional sidequests, then every game could be like DA2.

I liked how "out of the way" the combat felt in TW3, but I think I had more fun customizing gear than actually fighting.

There's no reason that we have to wait 2 days before getting this game, too! I can understand releasing it in North America first and then in Europe the next day, because fail US gamers would otherwise cry like little bitches when Europeans inevitably finish the game before them. But tacking on an extra day? Why?? It's progress in that we had to wait 3 days for Inquisition, but it's still poo poo.

SubponticatePoster posted:Yeah. I can see where people who really liked the RTWP stuff from Origins would be put off by the simplified version, but I didn't really give a poo poo so it was fine for me. I never got into DAI's MP like I did ME3's, since while it wasn't painful it also wasn't super engaging. I'm not playing DA for awesome combat though, I play for story. If I want involved fantasy combat requiring tactics I've got Dark Souls (I'm one of those people who found W3's combat to be absolute poop so like DA I play it for story). Yeah, Witcher 3 combat was very underwhelming and if it was at least as good as Dragon's Dogma it would have been amazing. Thankfully it was rather easy to trivialize combat with igni abuse , since fire damage dealt % of hp damage so you could kill enemies dozens of levels above you as easy as same level enemies. I guess the trick is, if you're going to have bad combat at least don't make it time consuming.

The resource collection in Inquisition is a somewhat separate issue that I'm more or less ambivalent about but the actual crafting mechanics themselves were very annoying. Splitting up crafting among four or five separate physical stations that you had to move to your character to is a baffling design decision. Not being able to compare the crafting possibilities with what your character's currently have, let alone comparing to your global inventory (like the stuff in storage), was the truly terrible aspect. And IIRC, not being able to clear out the crafting menus of very obsolete and worthless schematics was the cherry on top.

I was pretty sure the US is all about tuesday releases for some reason and europe is all about friday releases for some reason, so you should be happy its a thursday. I could be mistaken and forgotten things but I could swear thats how its been for years.

There is no way I'm playing as either Ryder without making custom faces - they both look like chumps. At least my versions will look that way on purpose.

The different crafting stations was such a dumb choice. I forget, could you fast travel to the crafting room, or did you have to go through the castle every time?

The best Bioware faces were models that they scanned into the game. The faces created with their engine all look bad compared to those. Seems like they're not using any models for Andromeda? Doesn't seem to me, anyway, which probably explains why the Ryders look so blah to begin with.

Inquisitions character creator was really good and it was pretty easy to make characters that looks as good or better then the default. I just wish they would release it early. It takes forever, then you realize the lighting was poo poo and have to start over.

That was some lovely lighting on char creation.
