Imo combat was the #1 thing wrong with DA2. Trying to turn party based RTWP combat in to action combat was a huge failure. No stealth gameplay, no ability to set up ambushes, no scouting ahead, lack of tactics due to waves, action based boss fights, etc. etc. Maybe I just haven't heard anything about changing this but it seem bioware didn't see any of this as a problem.

I don't care about changing the color of armor. I just want to be able to equip whatever I want on my characters. It's an rpg not barbie dress up. Either bioware is severely out of touch with what their fans want or I am.

Either way it doesn't bode well for me enjoy their upcoming offerings in this series.
