Ah ... Did someone ever mentioned the lack of fat people? and children ... and short people (dwarves aside) ... or tall people (qunari aside)
It's like after 1-3 months kids become fully fledged grown-ups ...
Nobody cares of how dreamy could be the sight of an orlesian fatso ! Those pants are so tight! 
I'm just going to go back to the good old days for a sec, then back on topic... yes, I promise.
morrowind, what a masterpiece. from a time when games had to have depth, because they couldn't dazzle us with shiny graphics, and particle effects. (though I think morrowind did have particle effects, iirc)
now back to the topic at hand.
I was waiting for patch 5 to launch before getting back into DA:I, think i'll wait a bit longer...
Screw graphics. In my time I just entered Seyda Neen for the first time and I was just like "OMG!! I CAN STEAL PLATES AND JARS??? AND EVEN FORKS?? THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVAH!!!!".
....and it still is
Also, Bioware seem to be color blind since DA2.....my black does not look black??? My black looks like blue??
And when i customize my character, she does not look nearly the same as she looks when in game, compared to customazation screen?? Example my eyes i choose was a nice HD Blue.....in game its more like a fake bright blue??
But all in all, how the hell do i make my black look black??
I got Into gaming back in 2005 .Morrowind introduced me to the beautiful genre of RPGs. That game will always have a special place in my heart. The world was so great and immersive and the music and the lore..oh god that was so satisfying. DA:O, the MEs , Diablo, BGs and the TES series ...I have a special attachment to these games and I will always cherish them as among the greatest gaming experience I have had.
Coming back to topic, I just installed the new patch. The game does have more stability than before (Used to crash a lot when I tried to enter the war table). Also, before I used to have lower FPS at High graphic settings, but now I can run the game smoothly at Ultra with the 2nd level of anti-aliasing ( Radeon 8850). The amulet of power not being dropped has also occurred when I killed Hivernal. I am still waiting for KB+M and a tac cam update but I don't think it will be implemented since game design is inherently not optimized for it in the first place. So even if we get tac cam back, it will still be useless. Game is clearly not designed to accommodate tactics. It's like those FPS shooters...button mashing. (The auto attack key introduced is still buggy).
I love the soundtracks though..the main theme along with the one played on the world map. It really sounds great.
So Bioware, when is this game going to have PROPER SLI support? I know this has been brought up many times before, but four months in and we still have the 'white fog' in areas. Try playing the Temple of Mythal with SLI enabled, it is an absolute nightmare, during the boss battle you can't even see what you're doing. And on the removed amulets of power (intended or otherwise), just leave them there please. DAI is at its base a single player game, if people want to dupe, cheat or glitch, I say LET THEM. Due to the supposed 'fixes' the game is now broken for all of us.

Well, as I'm bored, I'm waiting for something to finish downloading, and we're talking about nostalgic games, or those ones who hooked us up, I'm gonna mention the second one ever to compare to how Morrowind hooked me: Minecraft.
"Oh, but that game has such horrible graphics!" Go here and shut up.
But as much as I've enjoyed the amazingness of the SEUS Shaders + ChromaHills 128x, it's not that what hooked me up, not even it's SP experience.....but simply the most amazing MP experience I've even had so far. And it was all by raw, dumb luck.
I was a complete noob in the game, barely having touched a bit of SP until I got the basics' basics, when I decided to look online for a server of my country (Spain) to join. Noob as I was (luckily), I didn't joined the biggest one out there (and the most prone to have everything but fun on it), but a relatively small, basic Survival + some server mods' one. And it was amazing
After registering and screwing up their initial spawn house by claiming it for my own (because noobishness ), I decided to take a stroll and to begin building my house....only to begin building it (with a friend...who got banned a few days later for griefing) in reserved terrain. Again, the mods intervened and 'reallocated' my house somewhere near a river.
I never anticipated that house would be the seat of my Empire.
Days passed, and I befriended a kind neighbour of mine who was kinda expert at mobtraps (for those who doesn't know, there are cubes in the game that infinitely spawn a certain kind of enemy, enemies who can be farmed safely with an adequate mobtrap for XP and loot). Mobtraps can either be simple, or incredibly complex and full of features, depending of you ability with redstone (for those who still doesn't know, it's like "electricity", and allows to create several kinds of mechanisms and circuitry). Thing is that that guy was also kind of a redstone genius, and I was pretty amazed of his accomplishments, so I visited his mob farm regularly (they were all public in the server, regardless of their creator, and if you did one you had to make it public, too!).
Trying to describe everything I did in the full year I dedicated to Minecraft in my gaming time (with some rare and brief pauses playing some other games) would take a lot of time....building, mining, helping new people, befriending people, helping them with their projects, creating public architectures like a full-scale railway system all across the map, PvPing, doing server-made quests, doing demolitions of houses from banned people, importing exotic fauna from the Nether to the normal world in order to help a friend make a zoo (it's more difficult than you think....especially Ghasts!), tourism across the map (people made some really amazing things back there)...the list of what I did is just enormous.
The anecdotes are also numerous, too. You remember the railway system I just mentioned? The tunnel for it that ran below my hometown (with around 15 people excavating it) punched a hole right across my subterranian warehouse. Me, of course, I was extremely angry about it. But after some careful negociations I managed to get the upper hand and have a railway station for my own house And that proved to be invaluable in times to come. There were also those "Apocalypsis days", where the mods backep up the world savegame, and then disabled mob griefing and all protections....then gave us tons of TnT (plus the tons they spawned themselves....literally). Seeing my enormous mansion turned into a giant crater with water slowly and sadly flowing to the bottom was....painful
(End of Part 1. Part 2 coming after dinner

Speaking of classic games, this always makes me laugh, because it's the undeniable truth
Priceless.

That and turning your 5-1/4" floppies into double-sided floppies by notching the other edge to save on discs.
I remember Nashua as a brand growing up besides Maxell.
(Part 2)
After spending some time building the basics of my house, I decided to investigate what was underground of it (aka, how many spawners has my underground). And again, I was pretty fortunate about that, as I found 2 of them (spiders / zombies) extremely close to each other. Thus the story of my mobtrap -the most visited place in the server for that era- began
After some careful charm, I convinced the mobtrap genius to help me build it, plus some help from various people. We finished it, and made it public. It was a small success, with some people visiting it (mostly due that I offered some free resources, like a forge and enchanting table), but it was still a small, pretty normal trap. Until a certain offer came to me...
Some guy was carrying a placeable blanck spawner he won in some crazy event, and offered to sell it to me. His price? 128 Diamond Cubes (1 Diamond Cube = 9 diamonds...you can guess the maths ). I had to give him all my savings, and do some serious trading with people all around the server to pay him....but it was MINE at last!
So, a positionable, free-to-choose spawner...that's not something you get every day, so I called again my mobspawner-slave friend (yeah, I was kinda bossy....I admit it ), and we decided it'd be a Blazes spawner (double XP than normal mobs, only avaliable in the Nether). A Blazes spawner. In the normal world. Oh, my...
Naturally, it was a ton of work again, even more having in mind I wanted a triple mobtrap, so it had to be placed together with the other two spawners, plus a switch to turn it on and off (mobs don't spawn if there's X amount of light in the area, and some mobs require more light than others to stop spawning....Blazes were THOSE kind of special mobs). It first involved a **** ton of lava (don't ask), but it was later replaced by a giant glowstone lamp structure (toggleable lights) that'd make the envy of a pop-star scenario (mostly it was replaced because people was getting burned....literally (oops?)).
So, it was done. My very special mobtrap, along with a global reestructure of it (it went from being mostly connected tunnels and small areas to a giant, HUB-based subterranian base). I put on a lot of advertising and even more goodies in dispensers (including free food), and it easily became a pilgrimage site for both new and veteran players.
Did I stopped here? Oh, no.
I bought up to 2 more spawners (which were placed as witches and pigzombies), making a Penta-Trap of it (yes, the 5 of them were placed together...every single one with it's ON/OFF switch....I'm still amazed by that engineering feat), plus a secondary Dual Skeleton Trap in a single output (I found two skeleton spawners a bit separated from the main trap, but very close to each other...talk about lucky ). My trap also expanded itself to have dispensers for food, swords and books to enchant, a fully-fledged' own public warehouse with a coffer for each loot the enemies dropped, an alchemy room, enchanting room, forge, slimeballs creator module, a dropper-hopper delivering infraestructure, bed and a trash bin, easily putting all the rest of the traps of the server (more than 50 or so) to shame.
I'd say that..."not bad for a noob"
(Part 3 - The finale coming).
I remember Nashua as a brand growing up besides Maxell.
I remember Verbatim and Sony brands too, and shoe boxes full of those things LOL.
(Part 3)
Naturally, as the number of services I offered in the trap grew, so did the resources it required. So I did what a responsible businessman would do in my position....to build my own industrial zone, which included automated mushroom/sugar canes/melon-pumpkin cultivators, automated wheat camps, and a slaughterhouse. Yeah, a literal slaughterhouse, where baby cows were created, grown up and then automatically converted into delicious steaks via the power of dropping lava on top of them (sorry, vegetarians of this forum). That industrial complex (completed with an iron farm a bit later) gave me everything I needed. And thus my Empire (and subsequent fame as a bossy, greedy businessman that endures up until now) was born
Every update of the game (which are still coming) has also meant more fun for me...1,4 with the "Wither Skeleton Skull Rush fever", 1.5 with more redstone goodies, 1.6 with horses, 1.7 with new biomes to explore...I had lots of added fun with every update up until 1.8 (when I finally gave up). If it wasn't still confirmed up to now, it reiterated I spent my 20 bucks extremely well.
Well, here it ends my 1001+ Likes rant Hope you enjoyed it! And for those who haven't played yet....give it a chance to have an experience like mine, no matter how difficult is to find a similar one. It was absolutely incredible, and easily the most amazing one in all my years of gaming. And coming from a guy that began playing with a Commodore 64, that's saying something.

I thought I was the only person who found pleasure in hoarding jars and forks... hahah
edit: Such variety too !!

Well, it was a complete novelty for me....of course I hoarded them!
so out of practice.
Thanks for the link! Here's a link to one of my favorite DOS RPGs of all time. Dark Sun Shattered Lands https://archive.org/...-SUNTRNsoftware
Thanks...
Space Invaders or something in black and white, on a dedicated box at my baby sitter's and her drunkard husband's place. I was 1 and a half and therefore don't remember it.
Although I still own the one my parents bought me afterwards...
Spave invaders was the game I played during my lunch break. Took me many a quarter befor I got the hang of it.
Can someone point me at a thread where we discuss PC issues and bugs with Dragon Age: Inquisition and not what video games we played in our youths, or what other games we enjoy? Those are fine topics, but really I'd like to find out more about PC issues with this game, what has been patched and what hasn't, and what new issues have cropped up in the latest patch.
All you need to do is start reading from page one.
If you feel like being spoonfed, then go here:

...I can't say you aren't right
Well, anyway, according to an EA support thread and my own testing, it seems that the Amulets of Power bug is limited to pre-patch 5 savegames, much like the "0 AR for crafted armors" bug that happened a while ago. I'm waiting for one more test by another user in order to pretty much confirm it.
I was under the impression that "drops" were removed. In other words, Dragons no longer drop AofP
Screw graphics. In my time I just entered Seyda Neen for the first time and I was just like "OMG!! I CAN STEAL PLATES AND JARS??? AND EVEN FORKS?? THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVAH!!!!".

Don't forget the mods! The first time ever, I saw mounted combat in a RPG, was on Morrowind, this was BEFORE Mount and Blade!
Horse archery even... it wasn't really good, but was mindblowing back in the day. Then hell, Oblivion with dragon flying/riding!
Seriously Bethesda dropped the ball with Dragonborn DLC, they had to cut out dragon riding because consoles couldn't handle it! Thankfully there's a mod to pick up their slack!

Nop, it's a bug as far as I can tell.

Don't get me started on mods...arg! Enough to say I was able to roleplay an Imperial Legion soldier in Oblivion, thanks to them (my favourite character was an Imperial Legion Battlemage Captain, complete with several castles at his disposal, and an Imperial Legion operations base). And in Skyrim I just love to play my Mystical Warrior, able to teleport behind an enemy and slaughter them, or use his magic to grab enemies and toss them a-la HL2 Gravity Gun (also, he can fly ^^).
But in Oblivion, the true masterpieces are the ABSOLUTELY AMAZING questmods that exists on the Nexus. There are dozens that are absolutely AAA+ ones, each one half a Gb in size, and that puts even the best vanilla quest to shame.
If there are games that have great communities, those are in both TES and Minecraft
P.D: Browsing some questmods on the Nexus right now....tons of memories! Dungeons of Ivellon is the one I recommend for anyone who dares to say Oblivion isn't or can't be scary....it was easily one of the most terrifying moments of my gaming history Just imagine a totally pitch-black dungeon, with only your torch (ideally) to light it up, and these things and similar ones crawling around and making random noises. I dare anyone to say he'd be not terrified by it
When I look up Frostbite 3 it seems DAI is the first RPG made with it.
And there is an article that says ME4 switched to a cross-platform angine called FOX.

From what I read, it seems like my saves won't work with patch 5. Like you, I might as well wait for patch 6.

Damn it! Now I want to load up Oblivion again! lol
And there is an article that says ME4 switched to a cross-platform angine called FOX.
Well... its official now, Bioware and Frostbite does not mix
Damn it! Now I want to load up Oblivion again! lol
I'd have already done it, if I had my old installation saved somewhere. All that special stuff comes at the price of being a nightmare to install and manage the load order of the mods...
Oh, I had more than a headache managing them both in Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. It's worth it, definitely, but yeah....tons of work D:
P.D: My fav pic of my old character. Don't tell me it isn't badass! And I still had to use at least 6 mods to do that pic.
Retour en haut
