On a side note, BioWare is the second company to do this recently. Crysis 2 isn't coming with DirectX11 on the disc. Though, at least DA2 high res is coming day one whereas Crysis 2 DX11 is coming "later on." I guess developers just prefer to focus on the console versions and then patch the PC version later.
DA2 Pre-Installed for the 8th. Cannot select "High Res Textures"....

A day one patch? Really? Bioware was in such a hurry to get the game out of the door, that an integral part of the game data itself was not ready and thus, we have to download who knows how many gigabytes of data additionally on Monday. A launch day patch is something that fixes bugs and gameplay errors that have been found between the game going gold and hitting the street. A launch day patch it is not, if it adds stuff that was already supposed to be on the disc that you bought from the store (not the mention the endless milking of Disc Locked Content).
The stuff that game companies are allowed to get away these days.... sheesh, it's appaling. To the people claiming that Bioware is awesome due to them releasing this texture files at all and for free and not as a DLC- get a clue, will you? If you want your game to sell, you cater to every market and platform. Releasing 1:1 console ports is not that and if Bioware has any self-respect left after all this, then I hope they learn their lesson. They should have pushed back the release of the PC version a few weeks, given us maximum possible graphics and then released the game with the feedback from consoles as a launch day bugfix patch.
integral? Since when are high-res-textures integral? You can play the game just fine without them. And how do you know that it was supposed to be on the Disc? They said the PC would get High-Res. That's it.
So basically you would have wanted the console Version to be released first and the PC-Version a couple weeks later? O_O oh, that would have been the start of mega-complaining.

Well, in a way they aren't INTEGRAL in the grand scheme of gaming...but, they sure are nice for those of us that have invested in the horsepower for their PCs.

Textures generally are not related to a particular DX version...although the processing effects they can use to "pretty" them up will. I would guess it doesn't matter.

If I'm not mistaken, textures have to do with RAM.

DX11 and "high res textures" aren't necessarily the same thing. I would imagine DX11 will be available with the vanilla game.

uh, YES? One of the first mods i downloaded for Origins was a High-Res-Texture-Pack. But by then i had already played Origins several times. Game Content is integral. Things like the CopyProtection AssassinsCreed2 forced on the player is keeping integral parts of the game from us. You can't play the game without it. High-Res-Textures are "nice to have" and pretty much expected nowadays, but not integral.

Yes, and drive space required to store them...I would guess that textures would make up a good chunk of the game code.

So now thousands upon thousands of people are going to fight for bandwith on this graphics patch so we can play the game the way it was meant to be played?

Seriously. Will. Not. Touch. Until the textures are down.
The is epically bad practice. I can live with Day 0 patches (DoW2: Retribution had one, and I don't care), but... This is awful.
Oh, and I do hope we're going to see a Day 1 patch for the side-quest glitches that are explained in the ReadMe file.

I torrented the demo after I was getting less than 100 kb/s

Yeah, Crytek has proven with the C2 debacle that the company that pushed the envelope to the max two games straight (and were rewarded for it with spectacular sales on the PC) and was the darling of PC gaming... is no more. The fact that DX11 will not ship on the launch day means that they are pushing maximum exposure to the consoles and can't have the "dead platform" take all the thunder away from the six year old ancient tech aka consoles. I guess 3 million + sales for Crysis on PC were not enough to atleast treat us with respect. Too bad they will fail as Crysis 2 offers nothing for the COD crowd and since they have alienated the PC players, they will probably get abysmal sales on PC as well. If they push, we push back. Simple as that.
