Interesting responses.

 

As for me, a PC upgrade was on the line anyway this year, but I probably wouldn't have upgraded to WQHD and a 32" monitor just yet without DAI coming out in November. Now I wish I'd done it earlier. The wider field of view in some games makes their atmosphere come across much better than before, and I can see the very subtle floral decoration on Megan Reed's dress in DXHR with an astonishing clarity - I don't recall if I even noticed them before, or just new they existed from developer comments about the art of the game.

 

I'll also take a few days off in late November.

geting a new tv and a ps4

buying a laptop stand to cool my laptop I suppose.

I bought a new pc partly for DAI and partly because my old one was, oh, ten years old or so, and while it had served me well... It was time to get a new one

I'm currently doing my last exams for my final year of uni and if the release date hadn't been pushed back to November... well I just like to be thankful that it was pushed back haha because now it will be the greatest end of University present ever AND it can't tempt me to compromise my studying because it comes out a week after my last exam!

I'm also going to borrow one of my parents monitors when it first comes out so I can enjoy my first playthrough on one of their big monitors as mine is quite small, which most of the time doesn't bother me but I've waited so long for this game that I wanted to enjoy it to its fullest in my first playthrough

I took my last vacation-days for the release. This way I can also ditch my mother in law during christmas time. People call that a win-win.

I'm scrambling and stressing myself out to get two major research assignments done before the release date, even though they're both due the week after release, as well as skipping the two days after release (barely any classes on wednesdays, one class on thursday, no tests, at least, not any that have been announced. The only reason I'm showing up on release day at all is for a German oral exam which I've signed up for on that day on purpose so I'd have a legit reason to book off work that day). My 4 year anniversary with my boyfriend is on the 20th, but as much as I'm psyched for DA:I I still love my boyfriend more. xD So I'm not skipping that.

I bought myself a toilet that acts as a gamer seat.
 
I'll be playing this naked from head to toe.

I'm buying a new PC and using my last vacation day to get an extended weekend when the game releases.

Very cunning!

My 4 year old rig will play minimums as regards to CPU, Ram and motherboard, so I will have to be content with that till next year.

 

However, my Video Card wouldn't have met even minimums.  Had to get a new one, and a power supply which will handle the new graphics, so my computer guy installed one that fits "recommended" specs in anticipation of me being able to replace the older stuff.  Tried to find a faster CPU, but the only one he found compatible with my machine was actually slower than what I have, so I will have to wait on that.

 

And I ordered it online for digital download since my old CD drive is 'iffy' at best for playing/installing CD/DVDs.  Guess I will be eventually replacing that too.

 

I'm all set November 14th will start download from Origin in anticipation of November 17th release date.

Bought an xbox one, but that wasn't due to DA:I (the witcher 3). I will buy DA:I for the xbox one, though. No question about it.

I too finally bought the Xbox One for Inquisition. My girlfriend is very sick she currently lives very far away and cant do much right now so she asked me if I would upload my Inquisition playthrough on youtube or stream it on twitch so she can watch it since she doesn't get to see me often. So I recently bought a fancy new mic and I had to get a new Capture card so she can watch my playthrough. Probably the most I have spent in a long time in preparation for one game.

Do a playthrough which consists of everyone one of her choices. Whether you play a qunari or dwarf, whether you romances this character or that, and whether you go into that cave or not. The ultimate gift.

Not sure if it is the hype or if Im suffering from major gaming addiction. But I am actually afraid to die IRL before getting to finish DA:I.

I'm looking like twice as much before crossing the road. I avoid unnecessary trips out of my apartment. I started working out. I started eating healthier. Since about a month ago, the thought of "What if I die before getting to experience DA:I?" entered my head and since then I started living a healthier life and became paranoid of doing anything that would increase the risk of dying.

Not sure if this is sad/pathetic or if it is understandable. But the crazy lengths I've gone to revolves around not dying before I've finnished the game

 

lol! so i'm not the only one

in mid July 2 tumors had been discovered in my thyroid, and i started thinking what if they are malignant? what if things went so bad and so fast that i would be dead by release or in no condition to play, and then they turned out benign but have some bad intentions it seems (high probability to turn malignant), so i had to undergo a surgery to remove my thyroid in mid September, again i started thinking, what if something went wrong with the surgery and i don't get to play DA:i? 

i'm mostly recovered now, but i still fear something bad may happen to me or to my loved ones before DA:I

i have issues man, i know

 

 

Edit: of course cancer is not as hopeless as i made it seems, i was just freaked out, which is normal, half the people with cancer are cured, and in some types almost all are cured, and life with cancer is quite possible to live and enjoy

Commited grand larceny, first and second degree murder as well as robbery to get  the new GTX 980.

So I'm starting this thread because I want to see if there are people out there that are just as crazy as I am. The demos and trailers for Inquisition have been fueling my madness for some time now.... but the tipping point was when the PC specs were revealed. When the PC system specs were revealed for DAI, I realized that I couldn't play Inquisition the way I wanted to. So, I decided to change that.
 
Not going to post exact figures on here, but if you recognize these parts you'll probably get the jist of just how much money I've sunk into a new rig worthy of Inquisition (and future titles, in my defense).
 
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) --Overclocked
Graphics Card: 2 of EVGA GTX980 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit, DVI-I, DP x 3, HDMI in SLI --Further Overclocked

SSD: Crucial M500 960GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter/spacer) Internal Solid State Drive  --For OS and Inquisition
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Z PCIe Gaming Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp and Beam Forming Microphone
CPU Cooler: Noctua 6 Dual Heatpipe with 140mm/130mm Dual SSO Bearing Fans CPU Cooler NH-D14

Monitor: Acer XB280HK bprz Black 28" 1ms 4K Widescreen LED Backlight G-sync LCD Monitor300 cd/m2 1000:1
 
Plus some other stuff like optical drive, power supply, mouse/keyboard, and internet card.
 
So, what crazy lengths have you guys gone to in order to play Inquisition the way you want? Include system builds, vacation times, "sick days", sending the wife and kids on a vacation, or anything else you can think of.

 

This is so "last gen"... Why didn't you go w/ the X99 chipset and DDR4 RAM bro?

Future proof fail.

I wish I had the money to put into a new computer. I need one badly since my only one went and died on me. As it is, I consider myself doing well if I can afford a nice meal at least once a month. Otherwise its fast food and ramen for me.

[CrabbyCrackers]

i have warned all those around me that i will be to busy to entertain any of their wants or needs starting nov18th, and it could last months.  Told my shrink i wont be seeing him for a while.

Not going to my taekwondo practices or exercising. Of course, I will get my ass kicked as punishment for missing all of those days, but totally worth it.

Damn... could you go and steal a burger for me please. I'm not looking for much; maybe some grand theft auto, a couple of manslaughters... you know, everyday stuff.
