Is this anything like Origins?
I was a big fan of Dragon Age Origins. Dragon Age 2, less so. It was rushed and not as good. Then Inquisition felt like a single player MMO. They stripped out almost everything I liked about Origins. The tactics, etc.

Is this new Dragon Age game more like Origins or more like Inquisition?

Dragon age origins is closer to neverwinter nights than it is to veilguard

No, not like origins, you could maybe compare it to DA2.... although first looks make DA2 seem more polished.

No.

If you actually liked Origins and Dragon Age, Stay away.

This is going to be more like life is strange than dragon age origins

It is to Origins what Doom is to Civilisation.

This is if you took Inquisition and made it more like God of War, basically

This game plays more like Mass Effect 3 than a Dragon Age game. You have a pause menu for targeting your allies' powers but that's about it.
Probably closest to Inquisition on that scale, from what I'm seeing. That said, I still enjoyed Inquisition for what it was, so that's not anathema to me or anything. Origins was definitely always my favorite installment by a long shot though, personally. Still reserving judgment on this one until after launch. I want to dig into the mechanics more. The combat appears very action oriented though so if the more tactical approach of Origins is more your speed, this may not be your cup of tea.

You do a disservice to LiS by comparing it to this

I assume it's going to be similar to DAV, but I will find out tomorrow.

They don't know what that is. It was a toxic romance as it split the company into pieces.

Reminds me about bioware. Long story short after life is strange, the founders of the company split as one of them wanted to make Lara Croft games and the other was hooked on the success of LIS

You going to see the same story happen here where it all implodes and everyone waiting for a reason to jump off the train.

I'm sorry that we are all romantics. This is all going to end in destruction and chaos as each and one is sacrifice the entire world for their most loved character. Lara Croft.

Description which has stuck with me, from someone who has really, really fallen in love with this game, was imagine ME2 character side with the combat of Kingdoms of Amalur. Which intrigued me as an idea (not a DA series comparison either...). Also interesting in the age of the games it was being compared to.
