Not liking the changes to combat - I'm one who liked the more strategic element, with a bit of a slower pace so I could really control the strategy of the party through a fight. Here, even with pausing the game regularly I didn't feel like there was much of a chance, or need, to strategize. Also, think its lame that area of effect skills/spells do no damage to friendlies on normal. Throwing fireballs into mixed groups and only effecting enemies?
All-in-all, it reminded me of the transition from Mass Effect 1 to 2 - nicer graphics but a step back on gameplay to appease action gamers and buttonmashers.
Also, were the dialogue portions laggy for anyone else? There were noticeable pauses throughout that really ruined the immersion.
Will still buy it, though, as I assume the story will be compelling.
