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.

So I guess Kingdoms of Amalur-style combat

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.

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.
