I started a run of Inquisition after Origins infuriated me by crashing for the nth time, but I’ll probably knuckle down focus on my canon Lavellan playthrough soon. I’ve played Inquisition enough that I can really move through it quickly, lol. DA2 is a flawed delight, as always.

I like the way Rook opens rare/legendary chests in the game. They just kick it open. Meanwhile in Star Wars Outlaws:
Me: Cmon, girl, loot that chest and lets go before the guards see you.
Kay (protagonist): *slowly walks to the chest. Gets a slow camera pan around.*
Me: Cmon, cmon...
Kay: *kneels down, slowly places hands on chest, takes a deep breath*
Me: ...seriously now?
Kay: *slowly opens chest, lets out a surprised gasp*
Me: ...too late...
Kay: *grabs something from the chest and stands up as the game gives me back control in order to fight with the alerted guards*

To hit a few things at once, All classes can wear all armor types with a specific caveat that certain specific items are class restricted (you can actually see this when people scroll over certain nodes on the tree for each class that have armor type requirements). Yes, I have lots of vacation planned but I will be around for launch. And yes, years of working on the same thing can cause some burnout but I've played through the full game probably about 8 times in the last few months and it's still fun (though some of the specific levels that haven't changed in a long time I've done 50+ times easily and I could do without ever seeing them again 😂). My hope is actually that I can stream the game and talk mechanics with fans, there is a lot to sync and I absolutely adore talking design specifics. Still TBD but I'll certainly let the fine people here know first 😉
Thanks in advance for the game stream. My engineering background loves it. I love it.
Boosting companion levels by increasing relationship levels annoys me, though. Your mechanics reveal helps me minimize my "must talk" time with a char I don't get along with. Mind you, the writers did an A+ job if I get attached to one or two. Hm... and the voice actors, come to think about it.

Why.. why are the animation blocks still prohibiting user input in numerous games (yes even in AAA's) (yeah I can also think of some reasons but...). Come on we can morph from key to key for long time already I guess its case by case but man as a Gametester I really hate this, its just stealing time from the player

It's more frustrating when you have to not be seen to open it. Meaning if you're in conflict you can't open it. So, your just sitting there waiting for things to turn orange.

I also switched to gog, applied Quinn’s bug fix mod pack, played in windowed only, swapped to single core, and put graphics on low. It helped mitigate problems but crashes would still occasionally happen.

It helped mitigate problems but crashes would still occasionally happen. One trick that worked for me was not to have several quests open at once, especially if you were going to Denerim. That was the Crash Capital. And Origins did not autosave 😒

(sidenote: this is why I'd love to have an Origins remaster\bugfix, even though I know we'll never get one. You can't imagine how it frustrates me whenever I see people trying out Dragon Age but they give up as soon as Origins starts its crashfest )

I was lucky and while replaying DA:O, I had just a few crashes Also, don't know if it's the same way for everybody, but I was able to notice when the game would crash: the NPC's clothes started to glitch, blink and change colors. When this was happening, if I made the game load something, like moving to another place, it would crash. When I saw that, I immediately saved, closed and reopened the game, and everything was fine again

My sister was also having issues with Origins and this helped: fextralife.com/forums/t121134/forcing-directx-9-in-originsHer game was trying to use DX11 instead of DX9 and forcing it to the correct one helped stabilize her game.

I really hope they remaster Origins at some point. I know it would be a whole project but I genuinely believe it would be worth it. Maybe after a successful Veilguard release.

I find that sort of stuff fascinating.

Sorry, can't help. The game never crashed on me and I replayed Origins many many times.

And pay full price? I've applied quite a few custume/armour/weapon mods. A remaster with FB will make it non viable for me. If "remastered" with UE5, well, that's another story.

You mean skill tree selection, specialization and companion synergy during combat? Well, you're Min/Maxing here and it requires knowledge and how/when to apply. That's why I like to get as much info as I can before I buy the game. I don't give a rats arse about spoilers. Who can argue against "forewarned is forearmed"?
One good thing about DA4 is it's mission based. You can save the game before accepting a mission then replay it using different weapons/armour/companions. Eventually you will be Min/Maxing... It's the long way, which is why knowledge is key. For example: We know Dark Spawn are defensively weak against Fire while Lightning/Cold deals lessss damage to them. Taking the right team with you optimizes your combat effectiveness.

Immediate save and shut down. Thanks for the tips everyone, some of these are new and I'll def look into them.
