Time to throw me at.... me, to stop me. And not read those achievements and spoil myself. I do it all the time and then have less fun because I anticipate both rightly or wrongly what's coming. I have more fun when I don't know what's coming but... that anxious need to know what to prepare myself for... I have little to no self restraint. But I can do this. I have waited ten years. I can wait another 17 days, that are somehow feeling like the longest of my life. Good god. I'd sleep my way to Halloween but people have the absolute audacity to expect me to do my job in this time. Unbelievable. Hello, are you me?

Not looking not looking not looking...... I definately felt like I know the entire plot, more or less, after going through the Achievement list so proceed at your own caution. On one hand yes, on the other - a lot of the main story beats can be extrapolated from what we already know + hard not to expect a Big Finale. Some of the biggest reveal we can take from it is that the main story comes in 3 acts and 14 chapters

I am happy they are not using Frostbite for the next Mass Effect and hope they don’t use it for the next Dragon Age. Frostbite might now be able to do more realistic hair, but the faces also need to look good, not just the hair. It's art design, it has nothing to do with the engine. Battlefield games on the same engine have been looking very realistic for years now. Better yes but faces hav neve rlooked qwuiet righ tt ome in any Frostbite games reall yeven in Fifa. I thin kFrostbite does locations great th escen ewhere you'e rfirs tintroduced yo Skyhold looked phenomenal an dsome o fth esystems nd places yo uvisi tin Andromeda ae ractuall ystunningl ygorgeous as well asan the spac escenes look nic etoo. All th estadiums in Fifa/FC look really nice too. But I will sa yI don' tthink faces have been Frostbite' sstron gsuit. I tfeels lik eit' sdoin the job but not necessaril yperfectly. I thin k Frostbit eis an OK engin efo rDA anyway due t oth efac tDA t ome has always ha da bit o fa cartoony vibe about itanyway even before i twentt oFrostbite

Rule of thumb: the engine is there for the devs, not for the players (we play the game, not the engine). We gamers shouldn't be as concerned about it as we often are, second-guessing whether a game we don't like the look of looks like it does because of the engine, whether the jumping feels bad or good because of the engine--because we don't know if it's the engine or the particular production! askagamedev.tumblr.com/post/72667736733/the-game-engine-faq

I will say it does some things very well and some things poorly, relative to other engines. Personally I really enjoy Frostbite but I've been using it since 2012. In an ideal world, many engines would be viable and developers would make games suited to the strengths of a specific engine. Luke, I got to thinking. Since this game is much more stat heavy than prior titles, specifically when it comes to skills and gear, there's likely a need for some balance changes to be made post-launch. Does the game being playable completely offline hinder the data capture side for your team (in terms of analytics), or is this a non-factor? Generally speaking, most people leave data analytics on so we get more than enough data coming in. Additionally, I'll personally be watching several channels for things that are underperforming (relatively speaking) and not have to nerf anything. The rpg side is vast though and I'm sure people will find OP combinations/synergies that might need 'adjustments' but as long as it's fun and not an "I win" button that trivializes combat I'm pretty cool with it.

What I'm really excited for is when the guides comes out that show people the fastest way to get some of the uniques that unlock 'special' gameplay 😊. Let's just say I love the feeling of rushing to Patches in DS1 and kicking him off the bridge for the Crescent Axe (iykyk).

madiiyo • Lucanis 😈 • Solas 🐺 @madiiyo_ I don't know how it works on Xbox but on PC some people would start data mining. It's possible that some people can do this on Xbox and will make life even more difficult for people who avoid spoilers. But maybe I'm wrong.
Kelly Louise Daniels @kelly_Daniels1 Oh I see thank you, I’ve no idea how it works either but I’m definitely getting worried about spoilers now so hope that’s not the case 🤞🏻
Michael Gamble @gamblemike Reviewers need the right amount of time to play and enjoy the game prior to launch. Stability and predictability are critical these days. We can’t place the game up at the last minute.
