Can't understand how anyone can say the gameplay is good - it's the worst thing in the entire game, along the UI.
The tactical cam is unusable, the controls are atrocious, the responsiveness is terrible, characters shuffling constantly makes playing anything mêlée a pain, the requirement to keep R or left mouse button constantly pressed to do auto-attacks is 'tarded and the you character attacks blindly in the air when you click even if no enemy is in range, combined with how you can't move while doing the attack animation, is annoying beyond belief.
So gameplay, good ? No, REALLY not. I'm flaggerblasted that anyone can endure it without cringing, even more that someone can say it's the strong point of the game 0_o
Did you use the Tactical View combat mode? I'm really enjoying the way combat in Origins works and am considering purchasing Inquisition, but I've read mixed information elsewhere about whether it was good, especially in the types of quests and the combat system.
Tactical mode is basically unusable for now. The camera is FAR too close to the ground, and any ceiling makes it even closer (I'm taking about "20 cm above character's head" here, without exageration), there is so many pointless special effects you can't see what's happening half of the time, you're auto-centered on a character each time you select it, you can't select more than one char at the same time (combine the previous points and imagine how fun it is to order your whole group to go to a particular location far away...).
Also, if you play a mêlée character, the hitbox vs monster model means that in taccam mode, many abilities requires several seconds with the character shuffling before being able to finally launch it - forget all about being able to respond on the spot.
