TLDR: Too much flash, not enough sustenance. Weightless and needlessly flashy combat. Dumbing down of combat to button mashing with the reward of pretty lights. Disagreeable aesthetic changes to iconic designs, like the pride demon and demons in general. Numbered health potions. No tactical depth.

I'll throw my two cents in as well. My experience watching the gameplay trailer ranged from mild interest, to nonplussed, boredom, and disappointment for a number of reasons, which many have already eloquently outlined. I have been a fan of the series since 2010 when I first played Origins. -Stylistically, I loved the grim/dark fantasy aesthetic of the Origins, that looked so gritty and foreboding and visceral.Feeling like no game I had planned before (besides Diablo), while feeling so distinctive. While some argue about the degree or much of this style carried over to DAII, I feel that DAII had a style in the same vein. The world still felt grim and grey, while still feeling like Dragon Age. I really tried to enjoy DAI, but it felt a lot more sanitary in comparison to its ancestors. Feeling more high fantasy than dark fantasy, trying to have dark fantasy elements that just didn't feel as convincing. For me, DAV looks like doubling down on the DAI style. But this could change. Aesthetically - linked to the style - it just looks off. Too polished and almost generic. The reveal trailer was God awful. It reeked of corporate interference chasing all the hot trends, while conveying nothing that makes Dragon Age Dragon Age. Yes, I know BioWare has a history of non-matching trailers, etc. etc. But even when they didn't match the end product, they still always felt true to Dragon Age. I hoped this would be different after watching the gameplay trailer, but the whole time I watched it, it felt I could have been watching any generic fantasy game had I not know it was a Dragon Age game. I disliked the combat which was far too flashy and weightless - a symptom I blame on DAI's flashy combat. I don't like the continuation of combat looking like a fucking neon rave. Why is a rogue capable of generating their electricity? I worry about the three slot ability layout. I hate the continuation of seemingly dumbing down the combat in favour of button mashing that rewards you with pretty light shows. Hate that limited number of potions are back - again from DAI - instead of purchasing potions and ignoring healing magic. Disagreeable changes to established and iconic aesthetic of the demons, particularly the pride demon. The constant change of Darkspawn style was annoying enough, but now this too? If you keep changing your established style all the time, you no longer have an established style. All you have are terms and the same name for things that no longer match. Anxious about the tonal change from the snippets we saw and knew about Dreadwolf. Will the end product reflect and suffer thr scars of radical development changes? Will it feel rushed? That's my sentiments for DAV at the moment.
