Agreed about the potions. I've played the game for 4-5 hours now, and the only thing I enjoyed so far are the visuals. It looks like they have nerfed everything else, especially gameplay and interaction. The game caters to infants now.
One situation I found particulary funny, where you meet an elf for the first time who needs help and you get two choices:
1. I'll help you
2. No, I dont trust you
There is absolutely no backstory about her. You only get those two choices when she asks you for help. I have to decide if I can trust her from her appearance without asking any questions? Ugh.
The world also feels so dull, interaction is extremely limited. It's like a stripped down World of Warcraft (or Oblivion) with better visuals.
The lack of healing magic is brutal IMO. My recollection is that all other DA's had healing magic (almost certain, but it was a few years ago since I beat them). Why they removed it from this game and limited the number of potions seems beyond me.
It causes to you to waste time constantly going back to camps to refill.
I know there is some equipment and magic that is supposed to replenish health, but the amounts they do replenish is negligible almost to the point of invisible.
I like it so far. Playing on HARD and it feels normal.
