The return of the DA2 dialogue system... aka the worst part about that game (it's essentially the same system as Fallout 4 and we all know how good that was lol).

Instead of being bad in the insane way that the earlier trailer implied, it looks like it'll be bad in the way which everyone predicted. Massive melodrama instead of a interesting plot, every gameplay mechanic oversimplified, mostly cringey characters. Natural sequel to the pitiful Inquisition
It reminded me of Oblivion which was decent, but it's MMO style. Oblivion lets you 'glide' and you swing swing swing the same way like an r-slur, but at least you can block. DAO is "standard attack" "standard attack" "big attack" "powerup" and repeat ad nauseum with locked in foot movements (MMO style). There's very little skill involved.
Yes, you can block. It's just so shitty that you forgot about it.
Quality cRPG gameplay is measured by the frequency and duration of player-engagement in cRPG mechanics. Holding down the W-key 90% of the time is not gameplay. And when a patch added Q-key auto-run, player-engagement was not exactly enhanced. Moreover, sight-seeing is not gameplay and nor is clicking on keywords for loredumps and spamming the attack button.
This lilura1 blogger puts it pretty well. I'm guessing DAO and shit like that was your first RPG as a kid?
For real, all the sound and fury over known goyslop? Give it up, play some old shit, play whatever new good games come out, let the past be the past and realize

Duh, it's real time pause you r-slur.
The point is managing your team during combat.
And no, after checking, you can't block. Blocks and misses depend on your stats.

Really, it's not because it's "real time pause" because BG2 was fun. DAO is pure butt, so I'm not sure why you're coping so hard about it.

You know all this dragon age talk is making me want to replay Origins, and I didn't even think it was all that amazing.
It's like stealth marketing, ‘cept the game is ancient and they're not getting any money from me![:marseytroll: :marseytroll:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseytroll.webp)
