Dragon Age Inquisition

[Gusington]

Instead of on the PC? Inconceivable. Unless you are that afraid of Origins DRM, which may be...conceivable.

PC is the way to go. If for no other reason, then for the mods that will become available.

That said, I'll likely have to get it for 360 because my poor old laptop will not run it. At least not very well.

[Gusington]

You are a gaming mystery wrapped in an enigma.

I'm figuring I'll break down and get now for the 360 and by the time I have a rig to run it properly I'll be able to buy the PC version for 5 bucks.

Always thinking, you.

TPEK: just got my Origins code for Inquisition. I can't click on the instructions to tell you if I can pre-load or not because I am imprisoned at work.

Check your email for a code.

^Apparently only Americans can pre-load today anyway.
Us "inferior-folk" have to wait until the 17th (for pre-load, to play the game we need to wait until the 21st).

[Grim.Reaper]

That stinks.....mine is preloading as I type...roughly 25gb.

[Gusington]

Sorry tpek.

[Grim.Reaper]

Well, all downloaded and installed....desktop icon just taunting me that I can't play it until next Tuesday:(

[Gusington]

^Me too...preloaded overnight. Hopefully it will actually work Tuesday when I get to it.

Didn't get a lot of time to play yet, but the graphics are pretty impressive....I know I will also be in the minority, but so far I actually like using a gamepad for controlling the action, seems to work for me, but I am early on so who knows whether that will change after I log more hours.  I continue to read fairly positive remarks on the game, so I look forward to getting much deeper.

Just played for two hours, got sidetracked by a pride demon. Tried to defeat him three times, got pummeled each time. A lot of reviewers on Metacritic are commenting on using a gamepad instead of a mouse and keyboard on PC. Last I checked the game had an 87% rating. Graphics are very good, runs smooth on my 3 year old rig. I have to re-learn party combat to defeat this pride demon bastard. Then the game will open up.

I've got about an hour in and I think I'm leaning towards trying with a game pad as well. I think with a mouse and keyboard, it is pretty difficult to control the camera, your charachter and your party members all at the same time in the thick of battle. I feel like the dual thumb sticks will be a great aid in this. I'll give it a shot next time I play.

[Grim.Reaper]

So far game pad works pretty well for me and I likely will stick with it. Haven't got into any large battles yet, but seems like it should be fine, seems pretty smoothe for me.  And I'll say again, really have been impressed with the graphics so far, just seem real sharp.  Still have to play a lot more to comment on actual gameplay and story, but seems to be trending well.

Either of you get to the pride demon boss battle yet? I am sure I will be thinking about is all day until I go back to it tonight.
