Is Bioware making Inquisition more like Origins, or more action based like DA2? I admit I'm behind on the trailers, but even if I watched them, I'm sure some of you have delved far more into interviews and such, so how's Inquisition shaping up?

@mcfart: From their latest coverage at Gamescom, it looks like they're going for something inbetween. I guess they want to get "the best of both worlds" with action and tactics.

I like their tactical view and normal action view. It looks like people should have clearer options on how to play the way they want to play.

It's still early; so, not sure how it will end up in the end. But from the latest gameplay, I'm encouraged.

Yeah, as @truthtellah said they're basically combining the styles of Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II. Ideally, you could choose to play the entire game from a top down perspective and focus pausing for tactics and giving commands. Conversely, you could also play entirely from a third person perspective with real time, action based combat. It remains to be seen how well it's handled, but the gameplay they've shown makes the action look more responsive and visceral than Dragon Age II while also housing the level of strategy the first game did so well.

This video shows a good overview of combat:

So far the tactical view seems vastly improved over what they offered in Origins. I kind of hated the combat in Origins, because it felt way too clunky and limited for how much you needed to micromanage crap in Origins. Hopefully it actually ends up being as deep but intuitive as it looks in the gameplay footage.
