I did run the game for about 1.5 hours yesterday.
Hardware was an i5-4690K @3500 Mhz (no overclocking) and a GTX970, game installed on SSD. Settings 1440p, vsync enabled, most stuff on ultra, a few things (shadows etc.) on high.
No hairworks enabled.
Game ran fairly fluidly, though I doubt it was 60fps. I’ll probably tweak the game’s settings once I start a serious playthrough or run into serious framedrops.
The visual impression is overwhelming, far more so than in the case of DA:I, which is graphically no slouch. Design probably helps; the tutorial area looks and feels like the late medieval / early modern Northern European Plain, but with ghouls and oodles and oodles of atmosphere. The price paid for the ‘natural’ looking landscape is that there are no handy ‘believably impassable’ geographical boundaries for the zone (unscalable mountains etc.) , as somebody mentioned earlier. The land just ends, you get a warning and that’s it.
Great stuff so far; I trust most annoyances will be patched out or are things I will get used to.
Yes, this is probably a ‘social life killer worthy of Mordor’…
