Have you ever played Final Fantasy? The combat goes like this:

Player1 selects attack.

Player1 runs and slashes enemy

player1 waits til next turn...

Its an RPG. Story, exploration, combat, customization and interaction is all part of the overall package. Morrowind had a horrible combat system - still one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

It looked like they were trying to appeal to RPG fans, and shooter fans at the same time. The combat really looks Gears of War-esque. None the less, I'm still pretty excited about it.

You have a point. The combat was very average but damn I love that game so much.

Quote for the win. Btw, I think Fallout's combat system makes a much better argument then Morrowind.

What the hell are you comparing it to? Mass Effect's combat looks deeper and more involved than any other rpg I've seen...

Call me old fashion, but I like to actually play the game before judging the combat. :|

Fallout's combat system was awesome for its time.
I'd call it one of my favourite turn-based systems ever, although Silent Storm later kicked the **** out of it.

Back on topic: After seeing some of the combat, I'm fairly certain that this will get between a 9 and a 10.

It's an RPG. Even if the combat is terrible (and it isn't), it will still be a great game. I think anyone who's played KOTOR can agree with me.

It's much more about exploration, character development and storyline than it is combat.

Nah, it's about story, dialogue and character development ..I hope. Kotor had great combat imo, now they went for more of a shooter-like combat to attract wider audience, but it wouldn't ruin the game for me since that's not what it's about.

My favourite combat systems are the ones based on AD&D/D&D rules, if I can't buff stack in ME, I will not be a happy chappy.
