It's so offensive to me to put the Baldur's Gate name out there, in an OBVIOUS attempt to bring in sales from old school gamers, then you don't even live up to the old school name by having game mechanics that make no fukking sense and are NOT old school.

shame on bioware for this abomination, it could have been a worthy successor to Baldur's Gate, but its clearly not.

 

I have been playing CRPGs for 25+ years. BG 1 and 2 were great games (not nearly the best) and DA, IMO, most certainly is a worthy spiritual successor to them, in every way and more.

Try taking off your rose colored glasses.

In BG you paid for your mistakes and you learned from them

In DA who cares if your party dies, no emotional investment at all.

 

Nah, in BG, you saved the game, and just reloaded if too many party members died. DA does away with this unnecessary downtime. And in DA, when party members "awake" after falling in combat, they have permanent, stackable injuries that lower stats, and must be removed.

The "legendary" RPGs stopped being made by around 1990. The Wizardry series, Ultima series, those are truly legendary games.

That review is inaccurate junk.

Mostly the in game soundtrack, which is awesome. And every once in a while something like this:

Bronx Hardcore for the fucking win!

Thank you Captain Obvious.

UPDATE: Strange. In towns I lose 5-10 FPS if I turn Advanced Post-FX off...

Tested it a few time, exact same place, restarting each time. Game runs better for me with Advanced Post-FX on...

A few patches ago , they did an optimization that increased in town FPS, but only when advanced post effects are on. They said they will incorporate that same fix for when advanced post effects are disabled, at a later date.
 

And yes, in game AA does not work when Advanced Post effects are enabled (some people claim it does, but not for me and many others.) Also, the post effects dull all the colors in the game and gives them an almost Sepia tone. Disabling the post effects makes the game's colors much more vibrant.

As for forcing AA from the Nvidia driver, it does not work for me with either advanced post effects on or off, but the in game AA seems to work well enough.

Same here. I knew nothing about this game until about a month ago, when I bought it on a whim and started playing it. Man, am I enjoying this game. I can't believe it almost slipped by me.

Yeah, a buffbot would be completely unnecessary in this game.

I really love the game.

But right now, Age of Conan works better on my PC than Fallen Earth does. The lag in FE is killing me, logged in, couldn't get around in town so I just logged out again and have cancelled my subscription. I hope that they fix the lag sometime down the line.

But, AoC it is for now.

You love the game, so did you try to troubleshoot your issue at all? For example, if you have an Nvidia card, did you set the "Maximum pre-rendered frames" to '1' in the Nvidia control panel? That is a necessity (not sure why they don't make that more clear - it was only officially mentioned once in some patch notes). That fixed the town graphics lag for me. There's no reason to miss out on a great game you like if the issues you're having are easily fixable.

Thank God Bioware isn't making TOR console friendly.

Don't be so sure about that. Remember, Bioware = EA now.

"Ok guys,
Obviously this was an oversight on my part in terms of the minimum requirements.
I've pulled the review while we look into this. I certainly don't want to see a game get saddled with a score that it doesn't deserve. My apologies for this mistake."

I though this bullshit review was being pulled for further investigation? I guess the site editors are just as clueless as this reviewer.

ps...this isnt a scam i have used this site for months they use wholesale

 

That site and ones like it usually use stolen credit card info to purchase copies of the game and then resell the keys. Buy a key from a site like that, and you are supporting thieves. Not to mention that keys purchased from a site like that can be banned at any time.

lol ok buddy..i have been buying games from sites like this for years (including mmos) and have never had an issue if this were true sites like this would be taken down in weeks..but to each his own

They're not shut down because they are run out of Asia where this sort of activity is rampant and unregulated. Do a Whois on directgamekeys.com and take a look at the name and location of the registered site owner. Yeah. Do a little research. These sites use stolen credit card info or key generators to get the keys. Where else do you think they are getting game keys to sell at 1/2 retail? Why are they not selling the software? Like I said, buy a key from one of these sites, and you are supporting thievery.

In FE, i guess we got the best of both worlds, the convenience factor of mainstream-wow themepark questing and progression and the inconvenience-but-immersive-old-school factor which involves time consuming crafting and traveling all nicely combined in a world that is believable and consistent. 

Bingo.

Digital distribution is the future of PC gaming, for many (some obvious) reasons. Embrace it, love it. Welcome to the 21st century.

Unfortunately, with that setup, the game will probably not run well at all. You may be able to get playable framerates at the lowest possible settings, but even that is doubtful.

My guess is they're waiting a bit to implement it. Perhaps they want to get some lower level stuff up and circulating to get the economy going before they implement item decay or BoE (I hope it's the former). LoTRO did this. At release, all crafted stuff was not bindable or permanently decayable. People were saying the same thing about the economy. Then, about a month after release... bam... everything was BoE.

Many higher level crafted items are bind-on-equip. All crafted items can also be salvaged.

 Thanks. One more question, for my own curiosity: What happens to your mount when you run out of food/gas and you're on foot? I imagine the horse could follow you but what about the vehicle? Do you push it or abandon it and return with a gas can later? Can it be destrpyed while you are away?

If you run out of food/gas, the horse/vehicle will remain exactly where it is until you return with more gas/food (or the horse rests up a bit). Or you can visit a garage and pay a fee to have the vehicle towed back to the garage (I think you can do the same for the horse). And mounts can be attacked. Not sure if they actually draw aggro, though.
