Why exactly do we believe there won't be greatswords or bars and taverns? Genuinely curious. kingmandu hinted above that there are probably no greatswords, but didn't give any source. I probably blew that aspect up out of proportion when replying to him quoting only that line. Sorry about that, but there was a point I wanted to make and "lacking greatswords" would be a symptom of that point. Could've used something else, but it was convenient.
Short answer: we don't know if there will be greatswords in the game.
But it is curious that we didn't see any in the footage.
I could be mistaken but I thought one early player mentioned warriors can swap between sword and shield and two-handed...like an automatic ability. If so, good thing they can ignore D&D's weight penalty.

And yet another trailer that they should have led with to begin their marketing campaign. If I knew absolutely nothing about the details and what this game is going to be about, I might be hyped for it.

It certainly is more enticing at face value, but unfortunately that doesn't change what's under the hood.

If the game actually was like this, it would be cool. Unfortunately, we already know it isn't. Unless, again, the published footage is extremely nonrepresentative of the actual game.

Why exactly do we believe there won't be greatswords or bars and taverns? Genuinely curious. There's been some posts on the main Dragon Age subreddit where people are questioning why there haven't been any greatswords showcased. I personally don't know if they're in the game, but I'd have to imagine someone could check all the videos to find out (not just looking at the combat, but also looking at the in-game stores to see if it exists).

I could be mistaken but I thought one early player mentioned warriors can swap between sword and shield and two-handed...like an automatic ability. If so, good thing they can ignore D&D's weight penalty. Players can choose between 2h or SnS warrior playstyles according to this playtester. Having a hard time believing none of the two-handed weapons will be greatswords.

Thanks! That does indeed look like a proper DARK trailer. I imagine casual players or fans who didn't follow all the news and preview reviews prior will like this and be excited. So good job, BioWare! We'll see which trailer was the misleading one in the end. The awful teaser or this one.

This is the kind of trailer that would have given me hope a couple of months ago. Now, it just feels like a try hard effort on BioWare to show the game is not as bad as we think. I'll wait for the reviews for final judgement (gamers reviews not journalists or YouTube critics).

Big cities would be nice but I don't expect this. The size of Kirkwall was already OK for me. Baldur's Gate has the perfect size for an RPG. Lots to discover but not actually THAT big. A BioWare game has to have great storytelling and characters and banter. The size of the map(s) doesn't matter to me. With DAI the issue was that the maps were big but the cities a joke. If DAV can simulate a big city like they did with the Citadel in ME1, that's perfectly fine. I don't need to be able to go everywhere, I just need to feel like there's s huge metropolis around me. Funny how a lot of the locations in Baldur's Gate 3 (and other games) also imply a loading screen, yet noone complains about it like they do with Starfield. Loading screens are not the problem - it's the coherency of the overall world that is the important thing. Just a side remark.

The excessive loading sceens did the game no favors but Starfield has other much bigger issues, indeed. The media always focuses on the most superficial stuff to make fun of like "My face is tired" or the oogly eyes of NPCs in Starfield. But the disappointment lies much deeper. Which is why games that are actually good get a handwave for such minor issues. Outlaws has loading screens too but they are better masked and not as frequent.
