I enjoyed the combat in DAO and I had a really fun time with the combat in DA2.
I tried so hard to like the combat in DAI and I think some things like archers was improved. But it was challenging in the wrong ways for me. The tactical camera only gave me frustration and motion sickness which was unfotunate as it was the only way to still move with clicking on the ground like in the older games. I found it a complete pain trying to control anything but ranged fighters. I missed the tactics menu and being able to use all abilities, mages were less fun (less variety) and I think barriers was boring compared to healing.
But at the same time I thought the combat was a lot easier so I had to set challenges for myself like not using the crafting or some of the more OP abilites. But in the end I gave up and just accepted I didn't like it and it was just better to get the combat over with as quickly as possible.
But if the DAI combat return I can handle that. I certainly hope for improvements, auto attack, a higher level cap and a return of healing and blood magic for roleplay variety as well.
What I absolutely don't want is something like MEA with no pause, even fewer active abilities, no classes and companions reduced to banter and banging.

Absolutely no interest in Anthem or MEA DLC.

Just one? Difficult since this is the first Bioware game I actually regret buying.
But I can say I'm not buying another Bioware game that doesn't have pause, squad control and squad customization.
I don't think that will ever return to ME so I hope that DA don't strip those options out as well.

Vivienne? It certainly felt like she was the most shown companion before DA:I.

I have no idea if this game will be a success or not. I can say that as someone who only plays singleplayer games and like Bioware games for RTwP combat and squad tactics so far I haven't heard or seen anything about MEA that has made me more interested in it.
Pausing to aim gone, choosing what abilities squadmates use gone, only three active abilities, nothing about that seems fun to me. Chaotic combat with flashy effects and no real impact is all I have seen.
Making the singleplayer more like multiplayer isn't going to make me interested in playing the multiplayer, nothing could.
Stripping what I liked about the combat in the earlier ME games from MEA only makes me less interested in buying the game.

Logitech do this with a lot of games, DAI included so I would expect the same with MEA. Probably a decent but overpriced mechanical gaming keyboard if you are in need of one.
I'll stick to my sturdy metal mechanical keyboard (red switches).

@ Natashina. Oh yes, Bioware DLC. My first post on the old BSN was trying to find out why I couldn't play the DLC included in my DAO Ultimate Edition. That wasn't fixed until the 1.05 patch several months later. And every playthrough of ME2 is a challenge, Lair of the Shadow Broker and the Kasumi DLC especially.

I think the BSN could use such a section. A dedicated subforum to discuss bug fixes, guides, walkthroughs and general tips would help centralize that kind of information. I think that would be good. A lot of people (me included) only started going to BSN Prime regurlarly after first going there for help with a bug or other kind of problem. And I'm sure there is a lot of knowledge hidden in the brains of the members here about things like getting the older games to work on new tech. Getting the last fight in the Warden's Keep dlc to trigger by putting vsync on wasn't the first obvious solution to me. And if googlesearches for problems leads people here for answers that could lead to more members as well.

I really like Noveria. And I always take the time to look at the snow falling outside Port Hanshans big windows and then check my own and smile because life could be worse.

The west coast of Sweden. 17°C and it's raining. Just lovely vacation weather.
But here it can be 12°C any day of the year, we just call it cold the greener and lighter months and warm the greyer and darker months. I'll just hope for some rainless days the last three weeks of my vacation.

I'm c_cat, been a member of the BSN since 2011 and have lurked there nearly every day since. I only play singleplayer because I have to to be nice and social eight hours every day at work and only third person games because I have really bad motion sickness. So I guess I get kind of obsessed with the few games I do play.
Carver is one of my favourite DA companions and I prefer playing engineer in ME so I'm used to being in the minority on most things. Now I will get back to lurking.
