Mamoulian War Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited June 17, 2009 by Mamoulian War Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

Magister Lajciak Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taks Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 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. ^Maria: you are not allowed to ever mention that store again without making them put one in colorado. taks comrade taks... just because.

fastpunk Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 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... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=...8654&ref=mf Gotta say, the voice acting is awful.

HoonDing Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) 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.

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.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 That was awful. First thing I do if I ever buy the game is kill Morrigan so I never hear her voice again.

Azure79 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrath of Dagon Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Really it wasn't that bad.

alanschu Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Morrigan's voice is fine IMO, and fits her character pretty well.

alanschu Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) 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).
