 It was really annoying watching her play it because she was all 'Where's that awesome bearded guy from the opening? Why did that annoying guy yell at me for not killing people? Why do I have to go in the cave? This is a really bad idea. Why are the graphics so bad?' Then she gave up before even finding Duncan again! 


Bleh.  What happened to immersion and letting the story play out?

I'm pretty sure it's the position of the monitor - with my desk the monitor is slightly too high for my chair - I can tell in character creation and what not that the colors are a little off unless I stand up.  I think that makes me crane my neck causes muscle tension leading to the headaches.  I don't have the same problem on any other computer or TV.

I might do a comparison of refresh rates though, just to be thorough.  Thanks for the suggestion!

If you're using Window 7, read here

ETA: It's probably not from the refresh rate, but I don't have any other idea. :)

Oh, interesting.  The PC at work is running XP and will only let me choose 75 hertz, so I guess the change is a new feature in Windows 7?

Herr Uhl, are you liking Worlds Apart so far?  The insecure writer in me wants to know.  :bandit:

I always thought refresh rate had a lot to do with the monitor you were using and what it could handle?  You can change refresh rates in XP though...

You can change the refresh rate on all Windows OS, old or new. That you only have 75 Hertz it's probably because of the monitor. I have no idea.

Haha no prob.  There are so many things that I need to catch back up on, I understand.  I'm only bugging Herr Uhl because he read the first bit and found it convoluted and intriguing and I want to know if it held his interest.  :P

Well, it is still weird. And Gisrahel has the right idea. I wonder if he knows how ****ed up that baby is.

Since the voice work is already being done for DA2, it doesn't sound good for Alistair being back.  I guess it was a given.  I had hoped for at least some DLC, but you'd think that would already be in the works if it was going to happen.

Damn you, Bioware.  I wish I didn't care and am rather peeved that I do.  Posted Image

Yeah, you can change refresh rate for all Windows (XP, Vista, 7, etc). Sometimes your monitor and/or video card can't handle the higher refresh rates and will limit what you can see.

Also, the higher refresh rates are really just for CRT monitors. Then they really make a difference. My CRT at work has noticible flicker at 60 or 75, but looks wonderfully smooth at 100.

For LCD monitors you really don't get a choice of refresh. They're usually at 65 refresh rate. If your LCD monitor is flickering it usually will either be the connection, the video card or a feedback loop (try plugging it in somewhere else, or moving other electrical equipment away from the monitor).

Umm... sorry. Spent half the morning doing tech help :D

Don't give up hope. The Leliana voice work for the DLC is only a couple of months old. Anything can happen.

I plan on continuing to enjoy the game for as long as I can, enjoy the mods people make, and indulge in fan fiction.

I like watching him play, he's getting dialogue I have never heard before.

Yeah, I'm hoping that even if there's no Alistair in DA2, we still can get a DLC that finishes things up WITH an Alistair. That wouldn't be voiced until they started work on it :D

My husband and I play pretty much the same type of game, except he often romances Leliana and on his last pt he had Alistair unhardened.  It was painful walking by and listening to poor unhardened Alistair get made king and be married off to Anora.  Posted Image  I tended to unlock the "evil" options like blood magic and reaver.

You're mean.  :P  Ronkarisha is beautiful!  And perfectly normal!  Or at least as normal as any character of yuki's can be.  ;)

I tried to pin Gaider on a DA2 thread he was posting on, about whether or not our Wardens would return for any DLC.  He never answered yay or nay.

BTW this qualifies as being a "whiner" with the Bioware fanboys over there.  No attachment to the Warden allowed.  You have to be totally in love with MIKE HAWKE! or else you're a loser.

You know it might be interesting to have Alistair make a short appearance in DA2. He does disappear while we're dealing with Vigil's Keep. Perhaps he can be in an episode with our Hawke? Oooo, the possibilities!

I think that's an oversimplification.

If we're not getting one with Morrigan what hope does Alistair have?  Besides his story is pretty nicely wrapped up, no?  At least you guys can rest with a "happily ever after" ending.

Sort of.  But he'll be involved for female PCs if they ever do a resolution of the DR plot line, and the epilogues talk about mysterious disappearances and the like.  That doesn't sound like "and they went off into a sunset" endings, but Gaider is talking like that's how we should take it.
