Serrano Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The Dragon Age setting is decidedly D&D. So they got halflings. Why haven't I seen any? Because they're small. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyourprime Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I'm liking what I see from this game. Talking specifically about the game footage shown, not the hyperbolic PR that you get from media sites nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 My real-life bro just gifted me the PS4 Deluxe Edition. Deliverable release day: free Inquisitoring for the price of nada. What a pal. There is something to be said for sharing the same womb on occasion, although not at the same time. Thank god, too, my vehicle registration is due on the 20th. Now I get to play in Ferelden and drive in the real world concurrently, though not simultaneously. 4 All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Well, I'm buying it but I'm going to wait a year or so until all the digital content is released. Then with they come out with the Gold, platinum, whatever edition I'll get it. I HATE buying stuff piecemeal. I did that with Civ 5 (which I just bought) & Skyrim and I'm convinced that's the way to go, Besides, it will have been patched a few times by then and have a nice crop of mods too. Plus that will give me plenty of time to see what y'all think of it.

IndiraLightfoot Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 As a happy PC and AMD graphics card owner with Mantle capacity, Tim Schiesser at Techspot writing this made me extra cheerful: "There are lots of graphics options for the PC version, allowing you to fine tune the level of fidelity. Mantle will be supported in Inquisition as well, for those with AMD systems (it wasn’t ready for the preview), and BioWare tells me that there are no stupid limitations on the PC version: that means no FPS cap, no resolution cap, and even (potential) support for triple-monitor gaming. Compared to the PS4 version on the other side of the room, the PC version looked superior. That’s not to say the console version looks bad; in fact it looks pretty awesome for the limited hardware that’s found inside. But you’ll undoubtedly get the best experience on PC, with enhanced textures, better lighting and more of the awesome particle features of the Frostbite engine. You also get access to the advanced mouse-optimized interface on PC, rather than the simplified hack-and-slash focused UI on consoles." *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryy Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've never heard of this site before, so can someone try to convince me that they know what they're doing? (ie. aren't clickbaiting, stupid or having sexual relations with someone who has a vested interest in this failing?) If #GamerGate has taught us anything it's that "reputable" video game sites are no better. Let's not bring that stuff in here, okay? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't help myself, and as of late, that may include dreadful DLCs as well. It just means I'm always a little behind. You guys were well into Skyrim while I was just starting Oblivion. Now everyone is done with Civ 5 but I just got it. Besides, it might (unlikely) end up being a total dud (like Rome TW II) in which cease I'll be happy to have missed it. But, DA is Bioware's baby. I suspect they are going to get this right.

Humanoid Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 To be fair, with nVidia's current tech advantage all it likely means is that Mantle levels the playing field performance-wise for Frostbite engine games, rather than giving AMD an advantage.

Malcador Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Well, in terms of the background I guess it is hard to make it 'open world' and not be like Skyrim. The content and stuff you do on that background is supposedly Bioware's strong point, so not much worry. Why has elegance found so little following?

You're going to have a GTX 970 and you're worried about graphics? Unless the game is horribly optimized, you won't need Mantle to be able to max the game out at 1080p or come very close to maxing it out with that beast of a card. Unless you're looking at a multi-monitor setup or are shooting for 4K, you'll be fine. http://www.gamecritics.com/brad-gallaway/dragon-age-inquisition-preview-an-errand-girl-for-the-kingdom More Skyrimization confirmed. *sigh* That's my fear for this game and The Witcher 3 as well. Having a giant open landscape is great and all, but you have to fill it with interesting places to visit, interesting people to meet, and interesting things to do. The larger the land area the harder it becomes to fill it with meaningful stuff and the higher the likelihood of there being a lot of FedEx fluff. At one time, many years ago, I would have given BioWare the benefit of the doubt on making characters, areas, and quests interesting and compelling, because of their track record back then. These days I don't, because of their more recent track record which I don't think is good. Anyway, here's hoping my fears are unfounded and both this and TW3 live up to their potential. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I won't be playing on release, still haven't got around to ordering a new computer and won't prior to Christmas. It's not so much the ordering which would take ten minutes but the price/ performance research that will stop me. Strangely enough, the only part of my 8 year old current PC that is below min spec is the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
