[QUOTE="bonafidetk"][QUOTE="vfibsux"]

Sorry but I still think you guys are high with this comparison to MMO combat. I have to think you don't play MMO's.

vfibsux

Everyone has pointed out exactly why its similar to MMORPG combat and you have no real counter argument so you resort to saying we are "high". Perhaps if you engaged in an intelligent discussion as to why its not styled like an MMORPG then perhaps people would find your opinion valid.

First of all no not "everyone" is saying it is like an MMO.

Number two, I don't need you to find my opinion valid, nor do I feel the need to find your valid simply because you say so.

Beyond the fact there is a holy trinity and the use of taunting I see no similarities whatsoever to an MMO in which I am playing one character and real life people are playing the rest of the group and we are all working together to conduct one goal in real time. You cannot pause, you do not need to make any strategic decisions, you cannot save and reload when you fail. Just because I can pause and make the "tank" in my party taunt does not make it like an MMO in any way, shape, or form to me. I played through the entire campaign at least once and then some, then all of awakenings as well and not once until this thread did I ever associate "MMO" with this game. And I have played MMO's from UO all the way through EQ, Daoc, WoW, and presently playing Rift and GW2. So yes, I think if you think "MMO" when playing a single player game you can pause and make strategic decisions in.....ur high. That's MY opinion, take or leave it, makes no difference to me.

im sorry but i dont get whats the difference with this and mmo combat? its like they took wow combat, cut out some content and implemented it into this game.

I liked DAO combat more than DA 2, but I would prefer combat to feel more Baldurs Gate'ish.

Will it eventually realized in DA3? We'll have to wait...I remember Bioware said DA as a "spiritual successor" to BG.

Wasn't this back when DA was announced shortly after neverwinter nights? You know, when they still made decent rpgs.

You just discovered the combat system of MMORPGs. Terrible indeed.

V4LENT1NE
If you think Dragon Age Origins plays like an MMORPG, well...

Well it kinda does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bjxj_KWno68#t=32s That type of combat is about as interactive and fun as watching paint dry. I feel incredibly sorry for anyone who thinks that's fun. Especially FelipeInside.

Don't forget Chaos Chronicles. I did back W2 and PE and am looking forward to them, but combat wise, I have the highest hopes for Chaos Chronicles to be honest , as the devs stated..."Temple of Elemental shall be our paradigm" when referring to the combat system.

http://www.chaos-chronicles.com/

AND it's using D&D 3.5 Open Games license, like Knights of the Chalice did. So they'll be able to use the d&d rules, and a whole bunch of the monsters too. http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Creatures

It's not a kickstarter either...

"How are you funding this?"

Beside self-funding with money from commercial projects we did, we've got funded by a german film funding called FFFBayern. To successfully complete the project we also receive payments from our publisher bitcomposer who is going to distribute the game worldwide.

vfibsux. People mentione more than just the threat and tanking elements, if you are still in denial, read them. There is not one reason DAO is considered a SP MMO, but many.

Was not aware of this game, the trailer looks awesome though.
