So I guess Kingdoms of Amalur-style combat but it doesn't look fun or challenging. Story seems like it apparently jumps off of Inquisition which is fair but I could never be bothered to really play or care for that much.

How they got to this from "serious dark fantasy RPG" I don't know. I can see the obvious Mass Effect influences, but other than the cutscene conversations it feels weaker than even Andromeda.

Here's a link to the gameplay reveal so people can see what you're talking about:

The art style and tone looks much better in this than the weird trailer, but the gameplay looks closer to like mass effect 2 than dragon age origins. Probably gonna skip this one.

Kingdoms of Amalur summarize perfectly. Looks like they abandoned the more tactical approach and didn't brig nothing new or interesting, looks like a side grade from Inquisition and not a improvement.

I mean. Its something, i guess.

The good news is even if it bombs the whole franchise will see renewed interest. Whether as a last ditch effort to save the series or to capitalize on the momentum this release will be our best chance to see Dragon Age: Origins & Awakening remaster or remake.

Can we please just stop with the remakes, there are other games out there people.

I played Origins recently and heavily modded it too. That engine should not be touched, if it is ever revisited it will have to be in the form of a full remake. Which, I think, the odds of it ever happening has to be near zero.

Holy shit, i watched the gameplay reveal and my god it's bad. It's really bad. Like, these people should never work again levels of bad.
