I still can’t get over how Anime DA:Veilguard mage combat is. I can see why ppl who loved the slower, tactical, CRPG dark fantasy movements and mage combat in DA:Origin is absolutely not computing how Dragon Age got to this point.
back then the mage is stationary, kinda clunky, and the attack animation is just point stick at target or a dramatic pose.
In DA:V, the mage is one second dodging and weaving attacks with anime speed-blitz, and then summoning fancy square-enix magic swords the next. The mage is doing extra shit like twirling then striking a superhero landing just to summon a firewall.
The mage is a kung fu element bender in DA:V and I love it. It’s hilarious, and I see why ppl scratch their heads.
