^ moran detected. Whiskey Wolf, Draq, Darth Roxor... you know what to do with him (wiecie co z nim zrobic ;) )

I've never played The Witcher or Dragon Age, but from watching a few videos the combat system in The Witcher looks very similar to this.
Nope. The combat in Witcher is shoddy, but doesn't radiate this manner of horrible retardation.

No, but to be honest, Witcher's combat looks eerily similar to this. However, it had a slightly stronger element of tactics and preparation for battles, which is why I think it's a cool, though flawed, system.

Now, if DA2's combat is really just button mashing, then that's...wow. :lol:

Guess beefing up your mage and owning everything was too complex.

I'd also say that Witcher combat at least actually looks pretty good even if it plays dull.

Oh, definitely. I was actually impressed with how fluid the motions of the character were, and how well it all ran on my rig after the patch.

Have to say that despite all of Witcher's shortcomings, and all the times it made me go FUUU-, it somehow always managed to pull something off that made me forgive its flaws. The atmosphere, the world, the alchemy and learning about the types of beasts, the whole emphasis on depravity and the dark side of life, it was grittiness done well for once.

EA/Bioware is apparently very busy trying to remove this video from the internet. The youtube link and the original gametrailers link are both dead now.

Seems like this leak didn't went as planned for the propaganda and hype machinery :lol:

Haha, who posted the youtube video? It says it was removed by the user, was it Bioware?

hopefully someone had it cached and we can flood it back into the interwebs. EA/BW need a few weeks to figure out how to spin this before commenting.
