Game looks great, but..
Can someone explain why the combat system looks absolutely garbage?

If this had the combat of Dragon's Age Inquisition i'd be on it in seconds

I love turn based combat in rpgs (FF VII remake is pure feces) even Persona 5 Tactica has great combat.

Guess i will miss out. Sucks to be me.

Edit: TY for the points.

It wants to replicate DnD combat, so it's turn based, like DnD. Pretty faithful replication if you ask me (a TTRPG veteran of two decades).

dnd 5e aka dnd on training wheel aka total utter garbage for ultra casuals that never were interested enough in the genre to learn a proper ruleset.

I just want to enjoy the lore, story and characters but the combat looks slow, needlessly tactical and rather boring. Unless i can mash X to attack =win to get to the story.

Is there a speed up button or auto combat? 300 hour game with 250 hours being combat is a pass.

I see, then this is definitely not the game for you.
On the easiest difficulty, all you need is basically walking up and left clicking enemies a bunch, but by the nature of the encounters, they are still going to take a bit of time even if that difficulty makes them basically trivial.

I love the combat, it's exactly what I imagined it would be, and exactly what I wanted it to be. I'd want it no other way (other than being made WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY harder on the highest difficulty, its still far too easy)

You clearly never played DnD before. And got interested in the game because it got popular.

Because you've never played turn based TACTICAL combat and just assume it sucks? Go try XCom and tell me turn based tactical combat sucks.

And as much as I actually liked Inquisition, it's kind of sad that you're using that as an example of superior combat...

they didn't make a game yet that it's universally loved... sometimes we have to accept that certain games are simply not for us and find what we'll like :spacehamster:

Final Fantasy Tactics- Fantastic
Persona 5 Tactica- pretty good
Triangle Strategy- Masterpiece

So apparently this being based on dnd repulsed me too much.
