I'm sorry, but from my point of view and with respect to all opinions this IS NOT DRAGON AGE.
It has a visual style more similar to Overwatch than to this saga. Not only in the characters, but in the environments, lighting and color palette. Everything has a simplistic and childish touch, very typical of a Disney witch movie. It reminds me of what happened with Diablo 3 compared to Diablo 2. I think the new art direction is a complete mistake. The best thing about Dragon Age has always been its stories, the relationships (of all kinds) between characters and increasingly better and more realistic graphics. It's a step back. I definitely WON'T BUY this game.
Here coherence is confused with evolution.
Dragon Age has evolved over the years in all its aspects, but always in one direction: taking advantage of increasingly powerful hardware to display and enjoy diverse and richly created worlds. Sometimes they have stumbled with the style of play (DA2), but they have never taken a step back in the graphic quality, in that dark and sinister tone that surrounds the game, beyond more colorful areas (e.g. its forests). I DO NOT CRITICIZE the playability of this game, nor its multiple possibilities, but rather the decision made in a WRONG ARTISTIC DIRECTION in my opinion, infantilizing magnificent designs, I suppose to seek a more casual, adolescent or excessively in need of a hairstyle audience. personalized, all at the expense of the love for detail and realism (especially facial) of the characters in the interactive cinematographic scenes, a trademark of the BIOWARE house.
DA has changed the art style in every game in the series, which is nothing new.
Liking a certain style and disliking another is very human, but also very subjective.
Imho the style of DAtV is not childish or Disney like at all, but it is also a bit too colourful for my taste.
But that is complaining on a high level, the graphics are certainly not bad and combat looks fun.
The most important thing about DA to me is not the art style or the combat, but the story and character development, and there's nothing in the trailers or other releases that has me worried that the game won't be up to the highest DA standards in that regards.
Edit:typo.
