Sheesh, I barely slip under the wire with the minimum specs. Except for the fact I dont even have a Core 2, but a single core 3GHz.

 

Do you suppose they actually wrote code that utilizes multiple cores or its just a matter of the Core 2's being so much faster?

 

under 1% of all programmers know parallel programming... i do not believe that any of them are working for EA :(

Yes, but it's pretty common now to make the render loop a separate thread, may be that's what they're doing.

 

maybe :(

HDDs are large these days, so I don't think 20GB will be a problem.

 

I have a question about graphics cards requirements. I have a very respectable graphics card NVIDIA 9800GTS... but it is the mobile version, since I use a notebook. I am still sure it exceeds the minimum requirements, but does it reach the recommended requirements?

20 GB is nothing. I eat that for breakfast.

 

Seriously. 20 GB is $2.80 at Fry's. Admittedly, you have to buy 500 GB to get that price.

Downloading hentai with your Opera browser is not 'linux research.' Just download everything by Milky Studio onto DVDs and you'll have tons of room.

under 1% of all programmers know parallel programming...

some stuff is referred to as "embarrassingly parallel" and as such, knowing how to program for parallel processing is not really necessary (only superficially). the simple fact that much (if not most) of the graphics processing is done on a separate processor is testament to the inherent parallelization of games, and the ability of programmers to do it, even if they aren't obviously aware of the details under the hood.

Dunno if anyone read that recent DA:O E3 preview from Rock Paper Shotgun, the one that wasn't very positive. Well, now you can see for yourself what RPS' John Walker saw (or at least part of it). Hope you're in the mood for luv...

Gotta say, the voice acting is awful. I'm still on the fence about this game, will probably wait until it's out, read some impressions on forums before making a decision.

Honestly, after watching it I can't see what the whole fuzz is about. Hard to judge any of that without context. It's the culmination of a romance plot, obviously it's going to stink when one hasn't experienced the whole development. Romeo & Juliet at the balcony is also corny when one only focuses on that one scene.

 

Seemed to me the delivery of that Morrigan was deliberate - maybe she's supposed to be the powerful, but socially awkward sorceress. *shrug*

 

Also, seems the dragon lady is voiced by Captain Janeway. :shifty:

Ughhhhhhnnnn that flirting dialogue is awful, and not only that it's a completely awkward 180 degree tonal shift from the conversation from 10 seconds before. VO work for the two young women are pretty bad.

 

I don't know how they've done it, but Bioware has taken me from pretty hyped for this game to dreading it

That was awful. First thing I do if I ever buy the game is kill Morrigan so I never hear her voice again.

The voiceovers seem stilted, inflections seem off and there is pausing at awkward places.

 

I was hoping for a more interesting story than 'every so many years the demon reawakens and gathers his army and tries to destroy the world.'

 

I hope the story is more interesting on a personal level for your PC.

Morrigan's voice is fine IMO, and fits her character pretty well.

 

 

The complete lack of context makes that video seem particularly cheesy (though her lines specifically at that point are quite cheesy regardless).

Her english accent sounds fake.

 

If the VA is actually an english woman that's pretty sad.

I find this funny. So if the voice actor is actually English with an actual accent due to where she was raised, you find it sad that it doesn't meet your expectations of an English accent?

 

 

It'd kind of be like someone saying that my Canadian accent sounds fake, despite the fact that I am, you know...Canadian. And yes, I have had people say they're surprised because my accent doesn't sound like other "Canadian" accents they've heard.

 

 

(FTR I have no idea who did the voice acting for Morrigan).
