Seriously though, the worst bug is that the Chancellor says "supposably" in the prologue. That's just unacceptable. /sarcasm

 

(It's pretty annoying though.)

Some of the spelling would make an English teacher cringe! "Traveling..." and so on.

[In Exile]

You can't cast spells by clicking on the portraits? Seriously?

What's the point of having portraits of your party members then?

 

Wait, you could cast spells by clicking on portraits in DA:O/DA2!? 

[Brogan]

Of course you could.  Not AoE spells, but healing, etc.

Erm, "traveling" is the correct (American English) spelling.

I received the game on disc as a gift, and thought waiting a few days after launch would allow some time for the bugs to be worked out, but Origin update from today just killed my game.  Can't even launch DAI now.  I guess I will tell my friends not to buy it yet to save them some frustrations.

Are you certain it's the Origin update? I've had suspicions about 9.5.1, but will not call it in unless confirmed.

[jimcamx]

For sure.  My question was more about making sure I understood what people were talking about just to make sure that we were on the same page.

 

Off topic I know but I just want to convey my appreciation for what you're doing here. It's no small feat trawling through so many comments and keeping the community happy and informed. Thank you and please keep being awesome!

[Julia Luna]

maybe you should just trash the game, would better for your nerves and the devs too. with that toxic attitude you will never have the chance to enjoy the game. and for the future, dont preorder games anymore and wait till a few days after release and inform yourself

I don't want to ever enjoy this ****, I will play it hundred more hours hating it, but for that I don't blame Bioware, it is my way of dealing with the frustration of the death of my dreams.

 

It is the first game I ever pre ordered in my life EXACTLY because I informed myself... I watched every movie, interview, twitch stream, and so on... nothing even barely indicated that the game would be such a **** crap. Also they kept saying PC was the main platform and that it was a return to Origins and that they listened to the fans...

 

Now do a survey about people who hate DAI and people who love it. I'm sure as hell the majority of Origins fans (that once also played NWN and BG) did not like this **** that was supposedly made for them. The game was a lie, developers said things to make us believe DA2 was not gonna happen again, but they did not tell us that DAI would go even further away than everything Bioware made and we loved.

 

Anyway I hope I die, painfully, hating this game. I don't want to be happy, I don't want to enjoy anything, I want to and I will hate.

[saMoorai]

So, here's to hoping they fix whatever is causing all the overheating soon.

[prominence]

Objectively the game is pretty playable in its current state, given that enough feedback has been given and enough whining has been done to pressure BW, its better if you just either play the game, or resume your life as normally as you would without the game.

For me, it's playable until I enter a cutscene. Then it's anyone's guess if I'll get a CTD or miraculously get to keep playing. PC. NVidia.

And to add to the throng, the tactical camera is horrific. The lack of auto-attack and auto-follow are glaring.

I do love the game that I'm playing when it actually works though. I'm optimistic about the patch at least fixing my CTDs.

[gingeranna]

I couldn't definitively state how strong the biases are, but it's an interesting thought experiment (and something for us to discuss in our various post-release post-mortems.  PC control feedback is something I know I, and a few others, have brought up as topics to be discussed in more detail).  I certainly wouldn't discount it.

 

(In case anyone is curious, a post-mortem is a look back at things that work and things that didn't work, and where are places for improvement going forward and so forth).

 

I'm trying to remain calm and neutral in these discussions but man, you're really not making it easy.

 

There isn't a single person here that looks at the $60 DA:I sat on their PC hard drive who thinks the game was designed with K+M in mind. Not a single one. In your very own 'Built by PC gamers, for PC gamers' video, it ends with someone making a comment that they were worried about how the game preview would go but when they hit 'A' everything was fine.

 

When they hit A.

 

You talk about how things like K+M and controls in general will be spoken about in post-mortems, but what use is that to me? I can't return my copy of DA:I because I didn't buy it from Origin and the place I did buy it from refuses to refund due to bugs. So I'm now stuck.

 

I've read your responses about how you had to check multiple versions on controllers, again, what use is that to me? There's no way K+M and PC controls in this game went through any QA without a plethora of problems being flagged. Absolutely NO WAY. I've worked in QA departments for the best part of 20 years and if I'd been passed this game to check, on PC, there would have been several dozen issues immediately flagged, a good slice of which would have been high priority, if not critical in nature. If you're saying what you played was good enough, that speaks more about your priorities for the PC platform than anything else.

 

Any anyway, what use are your post-mortem? What lessons did you learn from Dragon Age 2? What was spoken about in that games post-mortem?

 

Remember this?

 

http://www.techspot....s-mistakes.html

 

Specifically....

 

"We've visited message boards, read reviews, and we've gone to events to have direct face to face conversations with some of our most passionate fans. We've been listening, and we will continue to listen," Darrah said. He reassured gamers that Inquisition is in good hands, citing his professional background with Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age: Origins as well as personal interests in D&D and pen and paper games."

 

Who there, right now, can say any of this has been upheld and delivered? Who at Bioware is prepared to comment on this? There's no way DA:I is anything remotely approaching Baldurs Gate, Dragon Age Origins or ANY pen and paper games.

 

Smoke and mirrors led me to preorder this game but the reality is extremely frustrating, underwhelming and most of all disappointing. Bioware no longer have PC gamers in mind, they're focused only on consoles as their primary platforms and this game is built, from the ground up, for that very reason.

[ApocAlypsE007]

To all AMD users, beware of the 14.11.2 Catalyst update. It caused my game to be basically unplayable, every 20 seconds it freezes for 30 seconds at a time, about 10-15 minutes after starting playing, forcing to at least restart the game. I reverted to 14.7 few hours ago, and the game runs fine for now.

 

[Meow]

Wow, I feel so inadequate for enjoying the story instead of thinking how the nightmare mode isn't difficult enough, the tactical view isn't as in mmo-s, keyboard doesn't do the same thing as a gamepad or that someone bought some other, unrelated game for less money.

I feel absolutely dreadful for for adoring this game enough to disregard the crashes and re-launch every ten minutes in order to continue my Inquisitor's path.

In fact, this bothers me so much that I'm already saving cash for a collector's edition.

 

Vent aside, would anyone be willing to state whether the newest Origin update made an impact on their game?

oh c'mon, deep under all the hate and masochism you love the game ADMIT IT ADMIT IT!!

weird, installed the 14.11.2 before release (in germany) and had in the first two hours 4 crashes and not one after that. did you deinstalled properly the old driver parts? do you use crossfire?

I agree. K+M PC controls is a disaster and I refuse to believe that any serious testing what so ever went in to fine tuning the K+M controls. I simply cannot bring myself to believe that the sorry state the PC controls are in wasn't flagged by the QA department a long long time ago.

What kind of testing did they do? "Oh look, the mouse pointer moves when I move the mouse. All is fine, no need for improvement!"

 

I really like DA:I, I really do. It's a lovely game, and I have been spared from many of the bugs and crashes many other PC players seem to be suffering from. But the K+M controls.. oh the controls... and the sorry joke that is called "tactical camera".

 

It is so obious even a blind man can see it. The controls for DA:I was not designed with Keyboard and Mouse in mind. It feels more like K+M controls and general PC specific gameplay was forgotten all together during development and then added in as a last minute panic fix prior to release.

[Riven326]

The cutscene stuttering also exists on consoles.

[Xionanx]

I agree, that the game is pretty much spot on to what a DA game is and should be about... CHOICES.  Barring the many failures of the UI, the TAC-CAM, the lack of AI Tactics, the "Spam" to find search feature, and many other separate DESIGN CHOICE ERRORS..   the "Core" of the game is good.

 

No ONE of the design choice errors make the game bad.. however, the COMBINATION of them bring the whole experience down.  This game could be a 10/10 on PC, it really could.. but I have to rate it more along the lines of a 7 or 8 because of those.

 

Bugs are a separate issue entirely, as I fully expect BW will fix the bugs and make the game playable for more people...  but the things that were done because they CHOSE to do it that way... those are what get me upset.

They could be better, sure, but mouse and keyboard is still better than playing with a controller. I have both, and playing with a controller is considerably slower.

Wouldn't mind an overhaul of the controls, but this makes it really easy to just pick up the controller and play the game on my tv . Ultra settings on a big ass tv is really, really nice.

[Carnagath]

So I gave it a shot with a controller, but I can't zoom out. Not talking about tactical camera, just a regular little zoom out so you can see more of your surroundings. Switching to gamepad locks everything else, and I can't find a way to zoom out using only the contoller. Any ideas? Am I blind?

[Legenlorn]

Don't know if anyone is interested but AngryJoe even said in his review that the Pc controls are terrible (thought he plays with the controller more) and that it feels like a Console port. I know some people don't like him but just leaving this info here.

This topic has way to many posts in it now. I just want to see if Bioware has a reply anywhere in this mess.  How can I see Official posts from bioware in a thread?

Where is the music? Is there supposed to be music?

Nice that you'll address these concerns but why not take our platform seriously from beginning? I can understand driver issues (to an extent) but why should one platform of a multi-platform release have to wait for further releases just to have a control system that is fit for purpose? Why should we have to wait to receive optimizations that should have been optimal on release? I welcome the fact that you're looking in to this and hold out hope that we can get proper controls and menus optimized for monitors but take these issues away for your next release and incorporate them from the beginning. Take our platform serious for a change.
