Do you agree with Trafford about combat moving at a faster pace?

Yeah, for better or worse it's much much faster. I'm of the opinion that it is better.

The only way I can see that the combat has been 'dumbed down' as people have been saying is that there are much less abilities. But DA:O had a lot of redundant abilities that did the same thing in a slightly different way (especially those sustainables, jesus). In DA2, each ability feels a lot more useful. They've reduced the breadth but increased the depth. Then they gave it a shot of adrenaline for good measure.

This is all early days, of course, but basically my opinion is to ignore the 0's and 10's from people who think everything is either incredible or shit, a mindset which this game has apparently invoked full force. It is nowhere near perfect but it's nowhere near terrible.
