Discussing whether there'll be combat finishers in the game...  MrHulthen @mrhulthenHow about finishers?  Michael Gamble @gamblemikewait n see. HAVE we had those in previous DA games?  Do the animations back in DAO that played when killing certain enemies count as combat finishers? Like jumping on an ogre's chest and stabbing it.

Yeah, I get that they destroyed a chunk of narrow scaffolding- but I still did find it a bit silly that a couple of pushes on the remaining bit caused the whole of a giant ass statue to give way. But whatever, it looked cool. Anyone know yet if we're still going to be required to use Origin to play DA:V on PC? I would prefer Steam personally... as always. Origin is no longer supported. You will have to download EA Play. I find it less stable than Origins and meh. I despise EA app with burning passion. The fact that it doesn't allow you to install it on disc other that C: is plain stupid. Which is why I spend past 30 minutes circumventing it.

BigGoat26 @biggoat26Only three abilities each? Michael Gamble @gamblemikenope. tons. just swapping in 3 on the wheel I’m not sure what this means… We will have a bunch of abilities, but you assign three to the buttons. |

BigGoat26 @biggoat26Only three abilities each? Michael Gamble @gamblemikenope. tons. just swapping in 3 on the wheel Hogwarts Legacy managed to have action combat and allow us to access up to 16 abilities (with no pause). A little disappointing they couldn't put more here especially with pause.

Yeah, the Inquisitor's magic hand abilities, as well as the capstone ability of each ability tree. I forget what the term actually was for them, but they were a thing. Rook has a purple bar that was filling up beneath his ability slots. I think, anyway. So that might be the UI for specials/finishers. Kinda like the rage meter for Kratos in God of War, which this combat is clearly inspired by. (That and Hogwarts Legacy, imo, which also had some inspiration from God of War.)

But whatever, it looked cool. I mean, the entire structure has been held by scaffolding, suggesting that it was either raised or somewhat reinforced to serve some purpose for the ritual - I think everyone, including Solas and Neve, assumed that nobody will get the bright idea to wade through all that chaotic magic of the ritual to actually weaken the structure and give it a push, in other words - it's typical hero stuff we've all seen many times, including past DA games

Sorry if anyone's said this (can't keep up at this rate). The Tavern picture reminds me a lot of the tavern in Orzammar. Given the special and longstanding relationship between Tevinter and Dwarves, a tavern in Minrathous looking dwarven makes sense. Might even count as being underground and have underground access. Varric and Rook had to leave via stairs to get to outside.

HAVE we had those in previous DA games? only those in DA:O, like climbing an ogre to deal the last hit, for example not sure if those are the kind of "finishers" they are talking about In Origins you had a number of finishers like beheadings, slashing finishes, shield-bash finishes, etc.

BigGoat26 @biggoat26Only three abilities each? Michael Gamble @gamblemikenope. tons. just swapping in 3 on the wheel I’m not sure what this means… Sounds like MEA. Only access to three abilities at one time, though you can probably change the loadout at any point. Not sure how to feel about that. I mean, I liked it well enough in Andromeda, but I dunno.

I forget what the term actually was for them, but they were a thing. Those are finishers? Oh well. Live and learn, I suppose. Now, is there a place on this forum already where I can harp endlessly about Lucanis? Because I saw his Tarot card and I can't stop staring at his hip region.

If not - we saw 20 mins of gameplay from the 1st hour of the game, I think? So who knows what happens during that 40 mins we didn't yet see. They did say they edited it so not too many spoilers. That could include encountering the Inquisitor and an explanation where they have gone. |

Most of the time in DAO my attention was fully on everyones health. Plus the game only forced my attention on the ogre one.

At least there we had access to eight (well, seven plus the Rift ting) I disliked both approaches for different reasons. In DAI you had to be outside of combat to switch abilities and then the anchor abilities took up slots from your 8 slot bar, leaving you with fewer slots for other abilities. MEA gave you 4 profiles of 3 abilities each, so a total of 12, but when you switched profiles you had a really long universal cooldown that forced you twiddle your thumbs during combat or just give up on switching profiles during combat and adapting on the fly based on the variety of enemies that came at you.

Is it a prosthetic or just a magical transforming bracer? I think we'll find it is a transforming bracer. Likely she removes it when relaxing. Check out the scene with the others round a table. I don't think she had it there. |
