How is the gameplay?

It's closer to Dragon Age Origins with some of the action orientated combat of Dragon Age 2 and getting rid of button mashing which is a huge plus for me. Animations for the game are massively improved as well making your character's attacks feel like they have weight and power along with the abilities that just look so damn cool making actually watching the battle more enjoyable than it's predecessors. The new addition of the tactical view instantly makes it a more tactical experience than Dragon Age Origins because you can now look at the battlefield from a different perspective giving you a new found ability to position the squad effectively and allowing you to think about the enemies you attack with what character and where from. The new revive mechanic in the middle of battle that requires a good amount of thought to actually achieve giving players more incentive to position the squad effectively instead of letting all the party members go willy nilly at the sight of an enemy again adding to the strategic factor. Ultimately I think this is the best iteration of Dragon Age gameplay but I have one minor gripe with it and that's [spoiler]bunny hopping let's you move a lot faster[/spoiler]

Lol. Say I've never played a Dragon age game. How does it work?

It's very similar to Kotor in fact Dragon Age Origins practically copy and pasted the gameplay. The basics are you have complete control over your party of 4 and you target an enemy to attack. In DA:I whoever you control will attack by holding RT and block with LT but you have a plethora of abilities and loot combinations that decide the outcome . It's not a twitch based skill game so much as it's a methodical RPG that required smart preparation and a good strategy

That's awesone

It is. I love it because I love to nerd out and use my brain plus it's by far the most unique game out there

That does sound pretty unique. How does the story hold up so far?

You don't get a real opportunity to progress through the story at all really. Once you finish your tutorial mission you can only unlock one other area that only has one story mission that almost immediately sends you to another area not available in the trial but it's a Bioware game and they all most always have a great story that supposedly takes 80-90 hours to finish
