That’s certainly…creative. With the current crog renaissance I kinda hope they don’t go further in on making it an action game, but getting something brand new is nice as well.

And as you said, killing slavers rules. Maybe if they also have GoW tier brutality the action elements can synergize with that.

It would also be cool to see how they incorporate roguery into such a combat system.

And yeah, you’re right it makes sense to remove it. It would be cool though if you had to convince your companions not to ditch you./actually turn against you. It would probably generate gamer rage if Leliana dumps them though.

I tried to enjoy the sequels, but Origins was honestly the last BioWare game I enjoyed. They are popular though, so more of a me issue than anything else.
