I'm actually really excited

No guys, they DID have combat in the 4K clip. Look at the end.

Scanning the plant, the V/O talking about "wow I was just scratching the surface" - these are all LEADING UP TO the combat. Building up suspense and precedent for the combat.

Inquisition had none of that. It's clearly more corridor-like. While I understand people don't like corridors all the time... honestly I think it works for Bioware because it helps them focus on the story.

Witcher 3 kind of has large sprawling open areas, but then when you get into story-intensive "dungeons" (scripted areas with a combination of combat and cut scenes) it is more like a corridor level. So yes I would say even TW3 uses corridors.

In Inquisition you did not have constant voice-overs of what's going on. Ryder was making comments about what's happening. All these things help guide you toward the focus of what's going on: their encounter with whatever they're fighting at the end.

Did you read my analyses

LOOK AT THE LEVEL DESIGN. There are huge chasms on either side of Ryder. He HAS to go forward. Then there are huge doors that are like "look here! Come through here! Touch me!"

This is so different from Inquisition where it's like "la la la wide open space, you can go southeast. You can go northwest. Oh look what is this? Southwest? Oh, let me pick these weeds to the north. Wait, what are we going again? What is the point of this area? Huh?"

I don't have anything against corridors.

In DAI, about the only thing I liked was the Fallow Mire. The rest is shit. It's the only thing that plays like a game. Which I'm afraid they've slowly lost sight of. I'm afraid for it here, with all the gushing about exploration.

We shall move from planet scanning to plant scanning, ha.

If one truly wished to know my opinion, I suppose I could say that it was okay... At least for what was shown. The only problem I had with it, is the character movement animations. Something felt wrong with the body animations, but I do know what it is.

I'm trying not to be. What we know of the game is that it's focusing on the bit of Mass Effect and sci-fi I'm most lukewarm too, exploration. Not to mention I kinda hate still that this game won't be set in the milky way I know and love.

But it's still Mass Effect damn it. That will always interest me. Then there's the sibling story that's intriguing me. This game could be the Dragon Age 2 that Bioware always wanted to make.

The asari running at the end looked like a gorilla trying to chase after a banana.  I really really hope that is not a final run animation for females.  Got enough of the hunchback bowlegged running in DAI.

I'm not super excited, but I am very much looking forward to seeing more of the game, especially combat.  As much as I enjoy exploring/scanning type of things, the combat needs to be good too, or I'll get bored quick.
