I'm only a few hours into the game. And there are things I like and things that really irk me...
Praise:
- Character models are very nice
- The vast environments are just begging to be explored
- I think the armor and clothing designs are really intricate and stylish
- I'm a fan of the male british voice
- Cassandra and Varric are great together
- At level 4 I had an epic battle with a bear that was a few level higher than me.... It was pretty tense.
Complaints:
- I hate how restrictive the class system has become. After Skyrim, Dark Souls, and Divinity: OS, I'm done with rigid classes. I should be able to make a sword and shield warrior who uses a bow if I want. Origins let you do exactly that. Anyone who really want to play within the confines of a class will do so willingly. The number of "pure cleric" builds in Dark Souls is proof of that.
- Dragon Age: Origins allowed you to set up to weapons sets and switch between them on the fly at the tap of a button. This was particularly useful if you played a rogue that swapped between daggers and a bow. The fact that you can't do that here is kind of annoying.
- The exploration and enemy encounters feel very MMO-like. I'm not a big fan of MMO world design so that bugs me a little bit.
- The hairstyle options are pretty lacking. 8 of them are just a variation of a buzz cut.
What do you like and dislike so far about DA:I?
