Yeeeeaaaah! Fucking badass trailer, I love DA:O and i'm SO hyped for this one. Its interesting that they're departing from the "origins" style of story to focus on one character, but this dude looks immeasurably badass, so I'll let it slide.

The demo shows the game is taking an approach in the right direction.

I find it to be a vast improvement over the first game's battle system. It's not slow and clunky. There's really no reason to have a more slower/methodical combat system if it adds no value to the gameplay. You can still pause the game and que up move, regardless.

The animation is a lot more refined and less stiff. The game's combat is way more polished and it just feels lively. It's a HUGE improvement over the sloth like movements of Origins and the bizzare choppy animation of characters as they enact a different move. Moves can be used more often; character's stamina pools seem to allow for more attacks. Battles feel more busy.

I love the change over and it also adds a more main stream appeal to the game.
