Purkake Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 VGA is fine for 720P Have you ever compaired digital and analog 720p picture? Because if you have, I'm afraid there is something wrong with your eyes.. May be something's wrong with your TV. I've compared VGA and DVI on my old monitor, and didn't notice any difference. It makes a difference on an LCD monitor. VGA makes the picture look a little blurry, at least from my experience. What video card do you have, anyway? Even my backup Geforce 7300GS has a DVI output.
Guest Slinky Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) It's always blurrier on analog, no matter what TV you are using. It's just easier to notice on LCD and plasma TV. To my eyes digital is so much better that I wouldn't even think of using analog on any monitor/TV, if there is an option to use digital. Edited August 15, 2009 by Slinky
Wrath of Dagon Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 What video card do you have, anyway? Even my backup Geforce 7300GS has a DVI output. It's not my card, it's my TV that doesn't have a digital input, since it's about 3 yrs old. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
Niten_Ryu Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I didn't even know there's HD TVs without HDMI. Anyway, there's adapter for DVI-HDMI and vice versa if someone has "ancent" HD TV and/or graphics card. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

Wrath of Dagon Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Yes, but we're kind of off topic. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
Purkake Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Right. So are there going to be different endings? Where does the whole dark thing come in? Is the boss blight demon actually trying to save the world? And what's the deal with the Half-Naked Plant Lady?
Aristes Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 What's with you and the plant chic? Is there something going on with the two of you?
Purkake Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I'm just curious, because we still don't know anything about her. The whole emo hair thing is weird, though. Also, she walks around naked.

That's In Uthenera ( it's an archaic word referring to when an immortal elf passed their life onto the next generation.) and David suggested the full text w/ translation might be on the official wiki soon. And what's the deal with the Half-Naked Plant Lady? She wants to mediate a pease agreement between a pack of werewolves and a Dalish tribe who seem to be at odds.

alanschu Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I prefer to do exploration in third person, and I like moving my character with a controller instead of using click to move. Plus it would look better on my big screen TV than on my monitor. However, combat trumps that, so I guess I'll get the PC version at least initially. You can still move around with keyboard in a third person style on the PC
Guest Slinky Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Gamespot did a Q&A with executive producer Mark Darrah. Well I worked on the first Baldur's Gate, and I was lead programmer on Baldur's Gate II. For me, it is about capturing the feeling that you got when you were playing that game. It's about the depth, the breadth of storytelling. It's about tactical choices in combat. It's about everything that made you excited about playing the role-playing game back in the Baldur's Gate days. We're reinventing it and bringing it forward into today and, you know, modernizing it a little bit. The word "modernizing" always creeps me out Nothing new was revealed, but there is a dwarf video I had never seen before.

Aristes Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I think it's funny how this thread will go on furiously for a bit and then die off and then come back again. This game has probably taken over as my most anticipated purchase this year. I'm looking forward to Alpha Protocol, but modern spy is not typically my thing, so to speak. Still, these two are probably the big ones for the rest of the year. Other than that, I'm dithering about a number of games, but I refuse to buy a new one until I have time and that ain't now. Come on, Alpha Protocol! Get to crackin'! You too, alan, you yutz.

HoonDing Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Is there really no origin that doesn't end in mass slaughter? I looked at the mage origin the other day... I'd imagine City Elf & Dalish Elf wouldn't be much different either. Edited August 18, 2009 by virumor The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
alanschu Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 That doesn't seem to be anything more than a more generic trailer.

I'd imagine City Elf & Dalish Elf wouldn't be much different either. In every origin you end up in the grey wardens. And knowing bioware, you also are the only hope against the blight. So.. no. I hope everyone knows how to swim! In blood, that is.
