I was wondering if anyone could explain the poor graphics with the Dragon Age series. I recently played the Mass Effect 2 demo on my PS3 and BioWare seemed far more capable of producing good graphics with that game than with Dragon Age: Origins or its sequel's demo. I also noticed a bit of stuttering with Dragon Age 2's demo.
it seems that the PC version got the bells and whistles in terms of graphics on this game.
if you get a chance to try the high res texture patch for PC at 1920x1080, DX11, with SSAO, detail settings very high, they textures and visuals pop out much more stunning than ME2. Some of the textures were not improved, but most were greatly improved - a few wall and stone textures surpassed even some 4096x4096 Oblivion texture mods.
I was surprised that they somehow managed to deliver a great frame rate on a mediocre video card, maybe better optimization for 64-bit systems?
