Combat

Combat in Dragon Age: Inquisition

• Combat is set at a pace in between the slow, tactical Dragon Age: Origins, and the rapid, action-oriented Dragon Age II.
• Enemies are designed to force the player to examine situations, and have specialized roles that allow them to work together.
• Enemy AI is more sophisticated than ever, allowing them to use player location, cooldown times and remaining health to their advantage. 
• There are different types of enemy, for example the "Prowler" type are agile and capable of stealth, but try to avoid head-on conflict and can inflict painful backstabs.
• Enemies no longer just appear out of thin air.
• You can approach combat similarly to in Mass Effect 3- "all combat", "all tactics" or "anywhere between"
• Health no longer recharges at the end of combat, so you need to manage your resources.
• Party members can work together in combat to achieve better results.

Enemies

• Classic enemies like ogres, undead, elves and qunari return.
• The tear in the Veil means demons have invaded the material world, resulting in new "terrifying enemies"
