@h0rnyfavn Laughing I gotta try that.


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things donโ€™t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things donโ€™t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Hrm, interesting combo. I have Sera set up like that, but I always run with just a single Rogue. Seeing how useless the AI is with 2H warriors, I might have to swap out Iron Bull for Cole and try that trick myself.

Yup, the clean install took about 20m from DVD. Setting up apps and settings took me another couple hours, but it was a minute amount of time compared to the hell I went through trying to fix the win7>win8 upgrade, which caused so many issues. Fuck it. Lesson (re)learned. Don't upgrade.


So is the performance increase noticeable on your rig?

Only thing that's really missing is day/night and weather cycles. FFS, they kinda did this in Crestwood (the climates change after you finish the "hub story"), so why not make this?
I know they prolly tried to capture the best lightning for the scenes, but random lightning could give even better (and surprising!) results.

With day/night lighting and weather cycles implemented I would be doomed to play the game on PS3...

Substantial. In most areas I've gone from mid 40s to 50-60, even with largely increased settings. I'm genuinely surprised by it, to be honest.

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis! I can't believe they didn't put in a proper day and night cycle Sad

If win10 isn't out by the time I get to playing this, I guess I will need to test drive Mcwindows as well Laughing

I'm still trying to work out the "catch", performance jumps of this calibre are usually unheard of. It's nuts. If you are planning on playing a lot of DAI, I would recommend dual-booting McEPOS purely for this game and anything else using Frostbite, it seems.

Some areas in the game look really good.

They're for example doing a great job with lighting on higher settings, again, more evident in some areas than others.

Its a well done game besides UI, character animations (the usual Mass Effect/Dragon Age animation quirks) and imo it needed more variation in how armor sets look both rare and the ones you craft yourself.

From DA2 the best change is that they don't recycle as many locations, they took a royal beating as a result of that lazy copy & paste design and did not repeat it here.

No, you can gain access from a War Table operation at some point. That's the case with several other locations which are for some reason blocked or cut off from you.

Partly so far, 3DM basically chose 100 test clients but it seems it only works for 2/3rds of those testing, and no AMD CPUs either. They're working on it Smile

For the price you pay for a top end AMD proc, you could get a low end i3 and still come out ahead. I used to love AMD but they really dropped the ball over the last few years Sad Now they're only really viable for budget builds or perhaps HTPCs.

its great that people keep buying AMD. Keeps Intel prices at least partially in check Laughing

Would be nice to see AMD pull an Athlon 64 comeback to get those prices even closer,

though not sure how realistic that is at this point.

I used AMD during the shitty Pentium 4 years of Intel but their CPUs ALWAYS had issues usually involving overheating. Same with ATI - their graphic cards always had flaws or shitty drivers. Nvidia has been rock solid for me but ATI has been consistent in its flakiness. It's good indeed for the competition to exist since a monopoly would stifle progression but if you have the money, Intel and Nvidia are the better choice. Their companies may be shady but their tech is still ahead of the others.
