Hisssing Wastes at every wagon when I kill a Venatori Patrol the prisoner you talk to next to the wagon is floating indian style about 2 or 3 feet off the ground and crates that Iron Bull destroyed the barrels on top will be floating in the air. <There be some strong Mojo in these here parts!>

 

I actually don't mind the Grass on the roof I built a shed/man cave where I used a grass roof only problem is when your crashed in front of the boob tube and the occasional Earth worm falls through but otherwise it keeps the inside cool in the summer and insolated in the winter.

Paragraphs, my man. Paragraphs!! :)  On my 2560x1440 screen I had to hit Ctrl+ many, many, many times!

 

EA got heir money and GOTY. So as far as their are concerned, they don't give a rats' tuches about what gamers' think.

 

More like EA got heir money and used it to get GOTY.

 

You may not be able to count on BioWare to produce a quality product anymore, but one thing you can count on them for, is that whenever they release an RPG, at least one media outlet is going to give it GOTY 12/10!11!11!!1

Flying Cass/Solas with patch5.

 

I was reading the patch5 notes with the expected fix that exploit! Decided to start the game and experience tha improvement patches for myself. Which I did.  Patch5, it seems, gave Cass/Solas new power(s).

Definitely a Nav Mesh bug in this spot.

I just tested this out. My difficulty did not change.

Tested while closing a rift?

. I do not know why they are alienating their loyal fan base in the pursuit of some stochastic new next gen modern loyal gamers  because in the end, most of them are casuals now.

Doesn't matter. EA has their money.  To paraphrase the politicos, "gamers have short memories."

There are rumours that Witcher 3 is a 50GB PS4 install. Ten more than the PC version.

 

Can you imagine the cussing, if you have to re-load/repair this game?

As soon as Patch 23 hits, it will be well to remember how far the mighty have fallen.

I went back and played Neverwinter Diamond just to get away from Inquisition. I played it once before, years ago.

OMG! You have to think! Plan, build a toon and pick companions carefully! Then you have to assign your abilities and skills.

Then you die! ha ha.

Interesting names in the credits too!

 

It was designed with Win XP in mind, but the only thing I miss is having a windowed fullscreen mode

 

 

Ha! I haven't been around the last few days for the same reason. Neverwinter Nights! It's actually making me mad. I realize it is a LOT simpler than I remember it being. Also, I am having an embarrassing larger amount of fun playing it than I did playing DA:I. No lie, I would prefer BioWare made a game on the damn NWN engine than Frostbite.

Also, there need to be more single player campaign style D&D games being made these days.

Oh, and have they released the Black Emporium yet? I want my real voice back. It'd be nice to complete my first playthrough and see how this disgusting embarrassment of a game actually ends.

They have mentioned that PC players will not experience a  "console experience". FPS wise and UI wise.... I think that's how they do it.

Well after playing for couple hours this morning in single player my game stayed at Hard difficulty with no apparent issues until I decided to play a couple rounds in MP after each battle at the screen that shows what we did and what levels we got to I would get an error from Bioware Servers saying connection lost unable to retrieve Data and kicked out of MP.

 

So went back to single player and guess what game is back to switching difficulty's back to casual and now the arrow to even move it back to Hard is missing just a black box with Casual in it, had to close the game do a complete system reboot and do a Repair Game in Origins to get it working right.

Add it to the list.  Bioware just aren't focused on making things work particularly well anymore.  Bethesda's business model is very successful, so it looks like Bioware now have a similar view on bugs.  Unfortunately, making things look good without getting gameplay right is not even up to the standard of the competition.

 

No developer lasts forever.  Adventure International.  Westwood.  Whoever.  Bioware is on the slippery slope now.  Has been since after ME2/DA2 I think.

It's not May 19th, but I just have this dreaded feeling that at this pace, Bioware will NEVER get through the laundry list of stuff that is essential to making a complete single player experience on a PC. Frostbite 3 is a AAA engine and it needs to be in the hands of AAA developers and sorry... the impression the Bioware is leaving for the world is that they're fresh out of AAA talent. They're either working on Mass Disappointment 4 or not there anymore. Many are at other companies going back to Bioware's most fundamental strength: storytelling and gameflow. I hate being pessimistic, but even I see that my personal goal of the developers FINISHING (if EA allows them... time is money) the game is now far-fetched. This may sound extremely negative, but really... no feedback means no love for the community. No love... no interest.

Even if they solved every outstanding issue before Witcher 3's release... :crying:

 

I agree that Bioware's strength is hardly advertised on the acumen of Frostbite 3. Perhaps I'm not giving enough credit for the fact that we have quadrupeds in the game? I don't know.

 

However good sir! I do mean good sir :) Frostbite has not been soluble for the other titles it has been used in. I can't squarely peg blame on Bioware for mucking it up because BF3/4 were a "whaaaat?" fests as well. Why the struggle? BF3/4 are and were developed by the very same people that made the engine. Are these expressions of growing pains, learning curve or employee turnover? Good luck to whoever is next to suffer under the engine's "grandeur". Maybe after the release of Star Wars Battlefront and Mirror's Edge 2 there will be vast swathes of evidence proving to me that the engine is not a larger part of the problem?

On Patch 5 Game Loading Performance.

Congratulations Bioware for improving the game's loading time from a saved game. It went from a brisk 35-40 seconds from the CONTINUE to in-game screen of 105 seconds.  The longer the better, eh? I can only conclude that those (now fixed) game exploits were responsible for my speedy load time.

 

On NPC/Animal Ambush

Venatori and desert animals ambushed my party as we popped the screen. The area was clreared before saving the game. This "bug" was reported back in Nov 2014. Plugging exploit holes is definitely a priority.

 

Nav Mesh Bug

My previous post showed a couple of in-game pics of Cassandra and Solas walking on air. I believe it was also mentioned waaaaay back. I can post a map pic if that helps. But, you know, you gotta communicate.

Just to give you hope, look at it this way. 

 

The DAI skeleton crew will be around another 18 months. My googling, shows rumours of a late 2016 ME4 launch date.

If FB3 engine is part of the problem expect ME4 to be less than smooth.  After all, DAI staff is now "helping"  the Montreal Studio with their game.

I think your observations are astute.  I am thinking that it's a combination of frostbite 3 engine having a high learning curve, employee turnover and the Bioware team having very little experience with PC oriented titles. It was mentioned earlier in the thread that the leads of DAI worked on Origins for console..

Not at all.  I see it being a 3 month or even 6 month exclusive to Xbox One and PS4.  

 

p.s  And who knows if it will also release on the next Nintendo system too. Supposedly due out in 2016 sometime which is when ME 4 is also due out.

So...  likely not worth bothering with on the PC then.   Like I've said about that 'one-month DLC to Xbox first' idiocy - I don't do sloppy seconds to no fruk'n console.  Not happening.  It's approaching five months for DA:I and they've fixed almost nothing.  I can't see the console-to-PC port for the next ME going any better.

 

Biowere's become the punchline to a very sad joke.
