Yep, and most probably the included 300 watt PSU as well. :shrug:

However, if you want to play that game at least at 1280x1024, then you must change your CPU as well.

Verdict: Just look for another pre-build PC. !!!

So my female elf mage basically was flirting with Blackwall and he rejected her all serious, duty, blah blah blah. However, I have been using him as a tank, and on my adventuring,

Spoiler
I found a completely hilarious thing - a little picnic set-up on some rocky just of land... the cheese was clickable. And it is a purple level shield called... The Wedge of Destiny. And yes, it is a giant wheel of cheese. I LOVE this. Blackwall is wearing it. Probably forever. hahahahaha

I rather shocked how Massive this game is. I've spent hours alone simply talking. Then there's the quests and items, and just soo much going on. I swear I get lost in that castle without the fast travel system.

Depends on the resolution you play at. If your game resolution is your desktop resolution, then full-screen will likely be slightly faster than windowed mode in all scenarios.

When an application runs in full-screen mode, it has full control over the screen output.

But when you run it in windowed mode, it needs to send its output to the window manager (windows explorer) which then manages where on the screen that output is drawn.

This takes some additional performance. !!!

So, actually It depends on the game and how it's implemented. :shrug:

I've just entered act 2 and my only major gripe thus far is the story:

Spoiler
DA:O was the Arch Demon and Darkspawn, Dragon Age 2 was the templars vs mages and demons.. I like the idea they bring back the Tevinter imperium and as a result both the main enemies, but where does this leave the series? I feel like there is no major enemy to face in the next game, or at least not a pressing enemy.

One word.

Spoiler
Qunari



However, the Venatori, while from Tevinter, I don't believe qualify as an invasion by the Tevinter government.

This game reminds me a little of Skyrim, a little of The Witcher, a little of Fable. It's like all the great fantasy RPG's mashed together into one and i'm not sure if that's good or bad yet (for Dragon Age).

Blargh. I don't get the romancing thing. I had opportunity to flirt with a number of party members - Blackwall, Cullen, etc. Well, the first time I tried that option with Blackwall, he was all nope, duty, it would not be good, etc. So I started flirting with Cullen. I get to play chess with him, then have an opportunity with the heart option again and it said "Start a romance with Cullen" when I moused over it, but all he will say is rumor has it I was involved with someone else. But I never really pursued anything with anyone else. I mean, not that it matters hugely other than making for awkward scenes that make me giggle like I am 12, but Blackwall's beard is bugging me :lol:

Hopefully this will help. I'll add it to the OP later. http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Romance_(Inquisition)

Doesn't look quite detailed yet, perhaps I can find a better guide?

Hehe - nothing like a little digital frustration - when in doubt flirt with them all

Bioware normally sting me for playing the flirt with someone eventually getting huffy though after the unexpected double romance of Jade Empire I find it hard not to romance as many of my team at once :wub:

I made the mistake of getting involved in the multi-player and find it hard to go back to the main story now - am caught in the loop of unlocking everything. MP has some issues with the looping drivel they all keep spouting and the way everyone hangs around the entrance of the 5th level as the constant strategy to funnel the enemy in wears thin, but overall it's ok - less intense than Mass Effect multi-player but in some ways requiring more teamwork.

Am convinced they didn't include healing spells purely because of multi-player where it would make it too easy and reduce the potential income from those who prefer to buy in-game items rather than grind play for them.

My mage is happily riding the Bull :D I was gonna go for Dorian first but... then the Iron Bull happened and yeah, I didn't think I'd enjoy him this much. He's funny, not at all like how I expected him to be and just a big sweet dork all around when he's not bashing in heads. And he has one of the funniest romance scenes when

Spoiler
Cullen, Josephine and Cassandra all walk in on you and Bull and their reactions are the funniest thing ever.

It's gonna be Cullen and Dorian for my second and third playthrough, and possibly Blackwall for the fourth.

Not gonna lie. I kind of want to see that now. Though I also want to see all the romance scenes. Probably find them somewhere. Now I think Cullen is Female only. And of course Dorian is Male only.

I finished romancing Cassandra. And I really liked it wish they showed more skin. I personally think she's the hottest female character. Though that's my opinion.

I have the scenes with Bull uploaded on my youtube if you're curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nsiqSZjCVo For the funny scene I mentioned skip to 5:27

I might romance Cassandra too at some point... the more I talk to her and actually get to know her, the more I'm warming up to her. I didn't like her at all at first but that's because I didn't know her at all.

Darn that might mean no buy from me.

I might be looking to get either PS4 or Xbox one since I do have a job right now and might get this game for it. Which system do you think is better, I am inclining more for the PS4 since Rebel Galaxy will be for that platform as well as PC.

Thanks Mark. I might get both down the line but before that I still need to get an Xbox 360.

I only get Black versions of the consoles if I have the choice and with no games. I am usually not that much a fan of most games.

I likely will only get the Bethesda games for the xbox 360 and Torchlight 1.

PS4 I am thinking on getting D3 so I can play offline and Dragon Age 3.

I have watched a few videos of DA:I and it looks real good

I have both games on PS4.

What should i say about Diablo 3 - its an excellent game and runs at 1080p / 60 fps

Dragon Age Inquisition runs great on PS4 too. 1080p / 30 fps

..and it looks damn good - i think. lol

I like Cassandra and Josephine (if that's her name can't remember), I can't stand Vivienne though. So I'm gonna try one of those former two, Josey is the closest.

Glad that made you laugh, that has gotta be one of the funniest scenes in the whole game :D

Yes I like Josephine too, she's so polite! Barely anyone likes Vivienne though. On the official forums in the favorite companion thread she frequently ranks near the bottom. She needs to tone her attitude WAY down.

Do you own a TV ???

If not, any regular FullHD TV, will do the trick just fine.

Well, bought it. Amazon has it on sale this morning ($45). Not going to play immediately (once it gets here), since I also got the Diablo 3 expansion during Blizzard's sale.

(and 7 Days To Die on Steam. So many looooooong games, so little time. There are definitely times that I wish I wasn't a fan of open-ended games you can play forever. :tongue:)
