| leatherhat said: Did you, and I'm not judging by any means, play it on console? Its very much a game that should be played top down on PC, and coupled with the changes to the console version I could see it being very boring on them. On PC there is a lot of strategy and a lot of tension in the battle system. |
You have to understand that some people don't give a whit about the battle system, and that it's there primarily as a hurdle to getting to the part of RPGs that they enjoy: interactions. For a lot of people, RPGs find their essence in their interactions with characters in the world, and battles are just a way to fill the time between interactions to lend them gravitas. Probably the best example of a game where nobody cares about the combat is Planescape: Torment.
For people who care primarily about the interactions as the lynchpin of the RPG experience, what they do with the combat is immaterial, and what DA2 is doing (which I'm not clear on, I still haven't seen any gameplay footage) may be a legitimately superior alternative.
