Maybe they're gauging public reactions first. Do they need to tweak a little or a lot? That was my thinking let all this info that's out and allow everyone to soak it in till the next batch. kind of like baby steps . Next tidal wave will probably be the CC if you're right about this and maybe more focus on Rook maybe?

Re the combat it really to me sounds a lot like the changes from HZD to HZD FW meaning there will be a group of people that really love the new layers of complexity re pausing and multiple combo's etc. and will knock over Insanity without an issue.
Then there will be me that will just want to shoot arrows at enemies or stab them and who goes OH wait I could have used that ability thingy.
I am getting old and I think a lot of this stuff is just getting beyond me and my care factor is getting less in terms of the combat stuff.
That said I am very much looking forward to the game.

With my memory I am a having trouble remembering Forbidden West and I only finished playing a month or so ago. I know that feel. I think I remember the big events of DAI but I do hope that I remember the crafting I was able to do for my super bow of death that I was able to create for the game and also everything else going on with getting my craftable gear right. I had a lot of crit damage and chance going on. Hmm.

I'm a bit disturbed by the warrior specialization slayer and reaper. To me, they seem to be named casually, both like badass, and even a little duplicated. I thought one would be magekiller before.

Do wonder how long it is but if I get time off and its a bit on the shorter side, more towards DA 2 then I, I could actually get through my first playthrough quickly. Plus my wife gets annoyed when I play the same game over and over, then she starts resorting to mockery.

I'm hoping we still get some kind of sword or other cool weapon than a staff/daggers with the spec. I'm sure there will be some Knight-Enchanter / Arcane Warrior moves in there. KE was such a fan favorite, they wouldn't leave it out! Plus, if I got the "magic daggers" part right, it could be anything else (a bow, a sword...) that you choose to slot. Not necessarily daggers. I mean, I think so...? Weapons type are fixed by classes. The official website list dual swords for Rogue, daggers are now a Mage thing.

I assume the Reaper name comes from grim reaper because it's a Mourn Watch spec which is a faction within the Mortalitasi death mages. Slayer might be as in "monster Slayer" as its a Lord of Fortune spec and that's one of the things they do.

Well THAT is interesting. And a bit annoying. Not so much for that but I still really wanted a widre variety of weapon types this time, wanted my staff dammit.

Just like Reaper might be a warrior-mage archetype since they have "freaky" powers apparently. But only sword&shield and two-handed weapons.

Maybe one day but that would take me away from my precious bows. I didn't mean magical staff I meant like regular staffs or spears to whack and stab sort of thing.

I’m liking what I’m seeing, but I wish they’d rethink the 3-ability thing (at least for Rook). It’s the only thing I’m still trying to like, digest. If we could cycle between even just two wheels/sets (like in Inquisition, for a total of 6), that’d be fantastic! However: they seem pretty confident with the system they’ve got going on, so I’m open to it, obviously as we learn more… Might be a little too late for such a change, though.

If its as bad as it sounds I am hoping there is a patch but ultimatley it could still work out. As others have pointed out seems like a lot of abilities have moved to button prompts so either way I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and see it in action before I try to come down on it too hard.

Same. I was just thinking how abilities like Fade Step/Evade, our spec’s Focus ability… those were staples for me, and given the emphasis they’ve given to stuff like jumps, evades, parry/block - abilities like that may have been moved to face buttons for easy use and making combat more dynamic. So yeah, I’m optimistic as well!

The skill trees are intimidating. Do we know hoje many skill points per level and if leveling is the only way to get them? 1 Skill Point / Lvl + Bonus SPs through the game. I don't think we know how many we get at Lvl 1 though. I'm not sure who stated it (might of been Corrine), but I believe they said there will be other ways (through sidequests) to acquire additional skill points.

LOL you and I both I'm at that age(70) that this and ME5 could be My last but who knows life is strange. Well, I hope I am still playing at 70, I am nearing 60 and it's not that I cannot do it, I just really want to take the easy road and not over complicate things in all of my life but especially in gaming which is one of my true pleasures in life. Dude, reading this stuff really makes me hope that there's still time for me to continue gaming at that age. I'm 35 now, and while life has definitely become busy, I still find time here and there to enjoy my oldest entertainment hobby.

We got quite a marketing blitz so lets see how long they are quiet for. Next big gaming convention at the end of August/ Early September I think? I would hope we don't have to wait that long given its supposed to be out sometime in the Fall but I also wouldn't be surprised and its the next big multi game event that we know of...as far as I know of.
