That one is kinda funny, since a lots of the negative reviews claims the total opposite. :hue:

Not the ones from german sites.

They said little choices with big consequences.

Presumably the ending is immutable. So, it's either romance options, quests not taken, cameo chars get killed... "big consequences" is rather an elastic concept... For example: if I play a hard ass, casualties is part and parcel of my choices... no biggy. If i play the tenderfoot, I'd be an emotional wreck....

It will be interesting to see if Bio writers can hook me with a char or two. DAO + DA2 certainly did... not so with DAI.

EDIT: I read / viewed on the tube that if you don't take all the companions along to upgrade them, the ending is affected..... I presume the Big Boss fight will be BIGGER.

Also, me very thankfull I'm actually a software programmer, even if I don't use the Python language much. I didn't have to wait for the author who make the driver to fix his stuff (could take ages if ever).

This console player is happy I can just about plug it in.

Murphy's Law on console would be that the console refuse to start...

I still prefer my PC, I can fix it!

Yeah, I hit Murphy's Law!

My G13 driver is broken this morning. Stupid python update. :ytho:

OOF.

I've been telling myself not to rock the boat on my PC in any way this morning. :hammer:

It's fixed. I actually just had to got back to yesterday snapshot before I did the update. But then I tried to fix the open source driver anyway since it was still early in the morning and I had nothing else to do until Veilguard release and is download (this morning is moving at snail pace!).

And it was so fast that I now even got the time to make cookies.

I remember playing inquisition as an awkward teen just starting out high school. Now I'm so close to my MD I can almost taste it. I feel so unbelievably old and can't honestly believe that the game I was waiting for for nearly ten years is out in 2 minutes. Life has changed so much but right now I feel like that kid playing it in my parent's house again.

Kaidan, Cullen, and Alistair... I think I have a type.

Ehhh, it'll work for sure but not optimal ability synergy.
As a fun fact, I did all the logic for autolevel on DAI and the guideline I was given was literally "make functional builds, but don't make something optimal that you'd play". These kind of suggestions are similar, it works without being too complex or OP.

Have a fun launch day, everyone! As a tip from me, the balance is subtly tipped in the players favor until the last fight of the 3rd combat mission. Be warned if it's feeling too easy you may want to wait until after that to decide.
