Rhom Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Since my computer is still getting fixed, I'm just watching some videos and reactions to the game, since I can't do anything else. I want to know, though, can you choose to be a Dalish Elf instead of just an Elf, same for the dwarves(dwarf noble/commoner)? Yeah, I know, there's no story importance in it for DA:I, but I'd like for my Elf rogue to be a Dalish Elf rogue. No, the prologue is the same for all. Nah, its just Male/Female Dwarf/Elf on the Tarot Card looking thing. It does explain that there are two types of elves. I have not started an elf yet, so I don't know what background it gives you. ETA: Nevermind. Question has been answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Only someone who wanted to find the game, find it, not play it, would be able to get it... Not looking forward to work tonight myself. I only just figured out how the agent system works, not unlike the trade missions in AssCreed4 Tonight is Kentucky v. Kansas at 9 PM... so I don't believe I'll be getting much play in tonight either.

Jace, Extat Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Tonight is Kentucky v. Kansas at 9 PM... so I don't believe I'll be getting much play in tonight either. I haven't watched a single Pacers game this year... I never get real deep into the season until after football, but I haven't even been able to tune in knowing Paulie and Lance are gone. It's not that I'm a fair-weather fan, I just have limits, y'know? Back on topic, I like the way dialogue is done, being able to control the camera and all. If I have one complaint, it's that I haven't been able to execute any dissidents. Yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melphis Amekia Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 OK then, that's cool. Now, if only I could get my hands on my computer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon AS Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 So while I'm impatiently awaiting the local release, I was reminded that for many years I didn't automatically associate 'Inquisition' with Monty Python but with , so a question to those who already have access to the game: is there a musical number?

Talleyrand Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Went on metacritic and was immediately reminded why I don't usually go on metacritic. According to the majority of reviews there seems to be no such thing as shades of grey. Everything is either a 0 or a 10 with a couple of the zeroes being for "graphics not as good as I was hoping", "don't like the character creation" and best of all "Lack of proper medieval etiquette" Though someone mentioned that a lot of the 0 scores might be down to gamergate as apparently some section of 4chan or something decided that Bioware was a SJW company and that they were going to spam all their games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Man has Patrol Duty Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 About two hours into the game, have to say I'm very impressed so far. Head and shoulders above DA2. Already invested in my companions and the storyline, and the gameplay is very good. As someone said earlier the tactical aspect of the combat is very cool. The maps are huge - maybe not Elder Scrolls-level huge, but big enough that I can see myself spending many hours completing side quests. Happy gaming to everyone who got a copy today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda awesome, but it's in the same vein as those spammers, so you should disregard it if you want a serious review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming whoever wrote that wanted "F.A.T.A.L. the video game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Took a wrong turn on the way to a story quest. Saw a Dragon. Figured 'Fuck it, yolo.' Threw fireball at Dragon. Dragon threw bigger fireball back. Died. In one hit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Walker Texas Ranger Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Tries to buy the game at Best Buy, but they don't carry the PC version, so now, I have wait all night for it to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of Boston Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm actually pretty glad the direct import isn't available. The Keep is a life saver. It's been so long since I've played the other games, I only vaguely remember the storyline. The Keep was a great interactive refresher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudguard Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 For those of you playing the game on ultra settings, what type of graphic cards are you using? How much VRAM does it have? The game looks pretty crappy on low settings, so I'm going to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJ Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Yeah... and I seem to recall playing a couple of late night sessions of DA2 with a glass of scotch or two. So remembering what had happened the following day was sometimes a bit of a challenge, let alone 2 years later. ;) DA:I is only out here in Oz on Thursday - but as we live in the future, that means tomorrow. (oh... and the "Post" button on this forum doesn't work on my office PC. But I've discovered I can post using "More Reply Options" - only that eats any paragraphong.

The game looks pretty crappy on low settings, so I'm going to upgrade. Dual GeForce GTX 760s 1 GB apiece. Runs smooth as silk, outside the occasional blip during conversations that seems to be a common issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civility Reigns Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 It'll be a while before I get to play this, but judging by the reviews and gameplay footage I should like DA:I for the same reasons I loved Dragon's Dogma: good combat, satisfying exploration, and a passable story. In the meantime, I'm doing a City Elf Warrior playthrough on Origins to get a refresher on the world and characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerenthaClone Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 In the cheeriest way possible - Americans and Canadians, fuck you. I've got to wait til friday and until then I get to sit here and listen to you lot talk about how fun it is. Nah, this way you get the benefit of decent reviews while still getting preorder bonuses. Or if you're on PC, VPN it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
