Although many have accused BioWare have simplified the gameplay of Dragon Age for the second installment of the series, the developer has confirmed that Dragon Age II will be more tactical Dragon Age: Origins. "When you change something there is always the risk of alienating the hardcore gamers," said lead designer Mike Laidlaw in The Guardian.
"We made sure to keep the same elements that characterized the experience of Dragon Age: Origins: party-based tactical combat. We went over, now the battles are more tactical and involve the entire party." In Dragon Age II will present a dialogue system similar to Mass Effect, while the combat is more action-oriented.
"Many have asked, but you made an action game?" Said Laidlaw. "The answer is that action games have stolen items from the RPG over the past five years. Now it is time that the RPG will draw from what kind of action has better things to offer."
