They definitely put more effort into DA:I than DA2, so I don't think it could be any WORSE than DA2.
A demo of DA:I would certainly help me pick up the game. Most of the complaints I hear are with the controls, so I'd like to try them myself.
The thing is, I have my doubts you really would dislike DA:I, if you give it a chance. A lot of people can get the mind set that if a game is bad, everything about it is bad. DA:I works, even if you thought those things sucked in DA2.
Sometimes it is simply a matter of expecting DA:Origins, and when things change, you are upset, but given time to adapt, you can appreciate the new ways of doing things.
My advice is simply to look at DA:I as a new game, and not a sequel. As a sequel, people have expectations, but as a stand alone game, you can accept it, and enjoy it.
If you didn't like DA2 combat, how do you like Inquisition? Inquisition is almost an exact copy of DA2, so I assume you also hate DA:I. And your dialog choices, must also be hated in Inquisition? There isn't hardly any difference between the two.
DA:I is more like DA2 than Origins, except in that it is more polished like Origins.
Having not played DA2 myself, and based on those who have played both and what they have told me....DA:I is nothing like DA2. It is supposedly the only real sequel to DA:O.
I think you are the first person I have seen to comment that it is similar to DA2--much less an exact copy.
Or do you just mean the combat? I would say that the tactics mode and combat flow in DA:I is noticeably different from DA:O--I feel that I don't need it all that often, aside from moving certain people into better parts of the field. I'm definitely not setting up a string of combos during a fight like I was with DA:O. SOme of told me that running around DA2, you just mash attack and win, without much thought after that. In some ways, I feel the same about DA:I, but you defiintely have to focus on which skills you are using.

I specifically mentioned what was different in my first post about it, and what was the same, or very close. Combat is far closer to DA2 than DA:Origin. I also mentioned that the dialog wheel is the same as DA2. Dumak made a long post about how bad DA2 was, and started with combat, so I thought he should know, that is very much the same as DA2. He also mentioned the dialog wheel.
Now, the problems of DA2 have been addressed. Or at least the problems most complained about.
I recall the same dialogue wheel in DA:O. ...it's been a few years, but how is that different between O and I?

Inquisition's combat is not like DA2's combat. To my experience, you don't get multiple waves of spontaneously appearing enemies in DAI like you did in DA2. It's more like Origins in that, when an encounter starts, the enemies on the field are going to be the enemies you encounter (barring something defined, like the several waves of enemies that come from rifts).
In that way, yes DA:I is more like Origins, but DA:I does have the rifts, and occasionally waves. I'm talking about your skill trees, and how you actually fight.
You might not have tried a dual wield rogue in DA:I. They are extremely fast paced. Perhaps the 2h warrior is different. I'm not sure 1h/shield was any different though.
Yes, it's changed, though I only know of the PC version. In the PC version there was no wheel. You had a list of specific dialog choices, with the exact words you were going to say in each of them.
DA2 added the wheel, with general thoughts on what you are going to say, but not the actual dialog. Sometimes I think they mean one thing, and say something different than I expected.
Spoiler tags escrow, god damn
What spoilers? It something to do with Solas, that isn't spoiling anything. I preferred DA 2 to Origins myself.
It opens up when you do a war table event for the red templars on the storm coast. From there you can go to dragon island as well if you want to fight the dragon in the area.Does anyone know how to get to the Red Lyrium map pins in the Storm Coast? Looks like it'd be through a cave, but the door along the coast is non-interactable.

YES!! Bagged my first dragon last night- wow- tough fight- used up all the 12 heal potions I can carry and 2 Warriors were unguarded and nearly dead, my mage was 1/2 gone and I ( Bow Rogue) was also 1/2 dead. EPIC fun...
Out of curiosity, what level were you? I ran into the lightning dragon, Northern Hunter, in Crestwood around level 12, and got my ass royally spanked.
I did that one at level 13/14. I think my party was 13, and my hero was 14. He requires more thought to beat than most.It took me a few tries to beat. I believe the Hinterlands one was the next most difficult I faced.Pay attention to the lightning rings he puts around your characters.
I have 35 hours in Inquisition and I'm almost done with the Hinterlands. Hurrah! I chose to side with the Templars but still haven't "closed the Rift once and for all", whatever that means. My characters are level 9-10, so I'm pretty sure I have a long way to go still.
Inquisition is a huge step in the right direction, although so far playing on "Hard" difficulty has been a total cake walk. I never even lose health in battles anymore on my sword/shield main character at level 10. The "guard" I generate is more than enough to keep any hp from ticking away... hopefully the game gets harder real soon. Maybe the fact I still haven't progressed the main story very far is to blame for how easy everything is, here's hoping at least!
