The combat is actually real fun as a melee class. But you gotta use a controller and play it like Mass Effect. It'd all prob feel real bad with a mouse and gamepad and focusing on the tactical map instead of just positioning yourself and blowing shit up with swings and abilities.
Its no Warband but there's a lot to like with reactive counter-attack abilities, managing guard, and real pleasant animations and weight to things that MMOs and many RPGs don't get right. It just isn't really a tactical RPG anymore that a mouse is good with like DA1 could be, but way more Witcher 2/Skyrim/Diablo hack and slashing.
