i completely agree. "

looks like a xbox game

I cannot wait for this game!

The more I see of this game, the more I want it.

Looks good.  I love story heavy RPGs.  Time to get my single player on!

Meh

I can say that after watching this quick look i feel less bad for getting the xbox 360 version of the game.

I love the BioWare edit XD

I wonder where you're supposed to figure it out though, I never saw *Press Y for tactics*. Odd, maybe the manual holds the key information for once? It's a true RPG if so!

EDIT: Nevermind, saw a picture on the Dragon Age forums showing it. It is there.

oh my god, get out of the cave!

I know this will seem pretty redundant, but, if you guys could do a third quick look of the ps3 version that would be completly awesome.

I hate Bioware for screwing me over again by not putting both UIs in the PC version just like they did it with Mass Effect PC. Now I have to SIT on my sofa with K&M (I've been told that this is also the way it's meant to be played) instead of lounging on it as I usually do with my sweet Xbox 360 controller. But damn what can I do? It's been so long since the last good RPG.

This game looks like an interface nightmare -- more so than Mass Effect. It's still probably a good game though, despite that.

im sure its just the context of these QL's but they're making this game look so boring

holy shit this game just keeps looking more and more boring…

In Warcraft, I was a hotbar fiend.  All of my most mundane things like Alchemy were represented by an on-screen button.  I played a healing Druid, and in my mind, I could need quick access to any spell at any time, and I would need to be able to shift into any form whenever I needed to and still be able to use abilities.  That made designing UIs a tricky prospect.

Does this give anyone recollections of that shitty LOTR The Fellowship of the Ring game on the XBOX?

Doesn't seem like it's missing a lot at least. And mods are not needed when the gameplay so long.

is Duran Duran a pre-order exclusive DLC to go along with Ryan's "drumstick"?

Nice use of sepia and burnt umber. 
Just kidding, this game is hella ugly.

" Doesn't seem like it's missing a lot at least. And mods are not needed when the gameplay so long. "

Laundry day for the Dwarf.

I would obviously prefer to get this on PC, but I'll let my 360 sweat the graphics rather than my laptop.

I was not sure aboutthis game, but damn this looks a goood fun rpg. and it has DRAGONS!

When I first saw the screenshot here of the one dude wearing his undies, I thought he was just a Barbarian class. The serious look on his face made me buy the primitive garb...but then I saw the video & got some good laughs.

I love the awesomeness behind the scene :) <3 GB

Yes it's true. Bioware said a few weeks ago that the only real 'big' difference between the PC and console versions would be the camera. You won't be able to pull it back WAY far back like you can on the PC. They said something about RAM restrictions on the consoles wouldn't allow them to pan the camera all the way back and still keep a solid frame rate.

At first I thought the drumstick was someone putting out a line of coke

  The combat system for the 360 looks pretty annoying. But my PC is horrid. Yet I reallyyy want this game. 
 
I will buy this for the 360 regardless! And I love the BioWare comment about halfway through. That was lovely. <3    

Can't wait for the game to come out, looking great. Though this QL was a bit bland compared to the first one done on a PC, the caves really don't show out some of the detail that has been seen in other videos. 
I'll definitely be getting this for PC when it comes out, but assuming its good I might pick it up for the 360 for a second play-thru. UI looks very accessible and intuitive for a console RPG, only downside would be the inability to pull the camera out to get a wider view of the scene, but overall i'm impressed with how they've brought it over to the console.

Didn't realize the QL was up for this game on console.  Must've missed the tweet.  
 
I preordered this for PS3 yesterday so it had better look good and play at least as well.  I don't normally go for this type of game but the Sacred Ashes trailer stoked my game boner.  I use my PS3 primarily for single player only games so this will hopefully be a good fit.  I hope that I can get by without micro managing too much of the combat though.   I'm really nervous about this game.  Damn I hope that I like it.

OK let's give it some thought..if we are to believe the rumors the PC version of the game was ready at the beginning of this year and EA insisted for a simultaneous release at the time the console versions were polished...so Bioware took that time and is releasing the game about now but as a company made a game which the only real difference it has is the pull up cam or the lack of between the different fornats(and the UI of course).I know that they don't really care about us PC users due to piracy as to even give us a real edge in the graphics department...but i am curious what they have to say now that the game is already out on the XBOX360 a week before its official release..Are we the only ones to blame???

It looks interesting. I really love the WoW-ish feel to it. There's not enough good console games like this anymore.

 
OH I SEE!!!
 
You go to options, turn toggle off and you can set what spells/abilities each char. uses during a battle!  Finally figured that out.  Thanks!
 
Wanted to play on a harder difficulty, but constantly popping the trigger was really annoying.  Turn the toggle off, then just hold the left trigger and use the bumpers to switch between the chars. and set spells.  
 
GREAT!  Really glad that works out!  Now they can all use spells together.
