#dai comments

The very short skills bar is kind of a point that gives me mixed feelings. I mean, yeah, it somewhat forces you to set priorities in your skills, but I also feel like it’s keeping you from fighting at full power.

THANK YOU Bioware for getting rid of the enemy respawn and the recycled dungeons.

I REALLY love the war table. It’s just awesome to look at all the missions and think how you will resolve that particular situation. Actually, I’d like to have Leliana do everything though (Love a sneaky approach) ...

It’s a little disappointing that you can’t name your savestates or recognize them by screenshots. I sometimes save in several slots because I want to show people some things later. Not being able to recognize a certain savestate kind of makes that harder.

I REALLY miss the old tactics system. With the old system, you had full control over your characters. The one in DAI just puts your characters in a default “Hit something“ mode and you can only determine HOW they hit things. Generally, I think the tactical aspect came a little short in DAI. I played on hard and basically got through the game quite fine by simply running into groups of enemies and hitting them until they die (which would have been a death sentence in Origins. Let’s not talk about the respawn in DA2. I’m glad they at least fixed that.)

It kinda annoys me that DAI imports absolutely NOTHING from previous games. Seriously, the Dragon Age Keep is stopping me from playing the game obsessively. (I like to link my playthroughs. First DAO → First DA2 → First DAI, Second DAO → Second DA2 → Second DAI) It’s just so much effort to rebuild my world state. Also, the fact that you had to rebuild your own Hawke was kind of a disappointment. I spent a lot of time recreating my first Hawke and reloaded many times because I was not pleased with the results in the end.
