Stelcio

I solved the problem on my side. It seems my GPU went into energy saving mode for some reason, coincidentially after I downloaded a patch. Sorry for bothering anyone.

After today's patch game isn't nearly as smooth as it was on release, not mentioning yesterday's patch that allowed me to disable AA. Now it's stuttering when I look around the map and I have really low framerates judging from moves of characters. It's barely enjoyable now, really. Now I admit my gear isn't nearly top shelf (notebook with i5 430m, mobility radeon hd 5650, 4gb ram) and I do play with full hd resolution, which is more than my notebook was designed for, but the game worked just fine before this patch. I noticed some fog effects when I fired up the game. Not sure if it was there earlier. Did the patch add some effects that may be the cause for my performance drop? If yes, is there a way to disable them? My graphic level slider is all the way to the left.

What I'd like to see that was never done in a cRPG? Followers that live their own lives when they're not in the team. It's weird to see that after several days our former companions stay in the very same place where we left them. While they often have a nice backstory developed with some objectives they should aspire to accomplish, they just stay in one place and wait for us to take them back. No, they shouldn't. They should take their path and join us again only when we happen to meet again. Meanwhile they should have their own adventures, finish their own tasks, accomplish their own objectives. And better if it's not scripted, but AI controlled for the sake of randomness.
