I know the battle system needed tweaking, but I've a lot of reservationations about putting auto attack in.

The reason dragon age ii put in the action oriented battle system was to attract the console playing crowd, I personally enjoyed it. What SE is doing for console release is the opposite.

For SE, the console release is pretty much THIS game's last chance, unless they intend to pour copious amounts into advertising, knowing full well they are going to be in the midst of releasing 2011 games.

And if they so much as even think of automating crafting, I'm leaving.
