Well, in Divinity I you could attack relentlessly without ever needing to stop :P
One thing I love with the latest Zelda games is Link having his sword swings blocked and able to really block enemy attacks with his shield.
That game didn't have the mechanics to work in such a manner. And with this game so close to release, that it if isn't in there now, I doubt it will be in it at all. Though games where it doesn't have it in there are still usually quite fun.
Changing into a dragon is impossible. Dragons themselves were believed not to exist until one was found frozen in a cave. Cool documentary that aired on the discovery channel, think it's called dragons if you'd look it up. Few knights were even found killed by fire in the cave.
With the existing story line, at least 100 years ago there was a magic skill and items to transform you or monsters into another creature. Basically that carries over and it seems to change the human form itself once you become a Dragon.
As for games with poor reviews. One that I've enjoyed alot was Castlevania 64. The main character couldn't swim, armor too heavy. He jumped pretty high, but didn't do flips. And an effective attack, which I'm sure to attempt in this game, was to jump and slash at the enemies. They usually attacked as if the main character was on the ground. Of course I'd get to the monster without sustaining any damage upon a successful attack. That is another reason why I don't want to see the main character act like a blue hedgehog for Dragon Ball Z wanna-be ninja.
This is how I plan to attack some monsters, especially when they are giants. In some of these games where the main character takes the wanna-be role of Sonic the Hedgehog, they cannot attack while jump somersaulting. Do a flip and slammed by an enemy instead of just jumping like a normal human being and cutting the opponents head off (or jamming the sword down his/her throat, what ever works best).
I find War hammers most fun with this method of attack.
