With everything turned up and like 1280x800 rez i was getting like 30-40 fps. When i turned V-sync off and AA at 2x i was getting 40-50 fairly consistently. With Fraps running i get like 15-30 :lolYoboman said:

My stats: World Explored - 8%, Time Played - 8:20:36 At this rate it's gonna be 100 hrs for me.
I've become grey warden. Fucking awesome so far.
Cut scenes are very good. Not graphically of course.
I've to be careful with Walking Bomb spell. Killed my party twice by mistake.

I didn't expect Duncan to kill that guy. Dark story indeed. Once you're in, you stay in forever or die. There is no going back.

wewt redownloading the game was the trick, now it works!
i was able to use my ea account to sign up for the social site AND link it to my old bioware forums account (since it said my display name was in use and if I was the original owner enter my bioware site login info).

Ok , i have a question about the Dwarf Noble storyline in the beginning.
I just killed the mercenaries, entered the tomb or whatever with the grave where the shield is supposed to be. The only thing i can do in this room though is press the ring against the indent in the grave, but nothing happens. So I'm kinda stuck.

I just finished the Redcliffe Castle quest
Damn this game is awesome.
where you save Connor. Did anyone else manage to persuade First Enchanter Irving to go into the Fade himself? He was a complete badass. A lvl 16 mage with a bunch of spells I had never used before when all of my other characters were lvl 8 or 9. He really made that quest simple!

Answer:
there are 3 plates in the floor that depress when you stand on it. You have to command each of your party to stand on one and have them stay there. Once all three are standing on the plates at the same time you can use your ring.
Oh man played a ton last night.
Redcliffe and circle of magi spoilers
another example of the great way the origin stories affect the rest of the game and don't just come to an abrupt end once you join the grey wardens.
Redcliffe and circle of magi spoilers
so the choices they give you to save Conner or the village are pretty good. i really had to think a long while about it. ultimately, I decided to go back to the tower to get some mages and run back in time to save the town (hopefully).
but... I'm still stuck in the damn tower cuz it's overrun by blood mages and abominations. and then I got to the top and now I'm stuck in the fade, trying o flight the sloth demon. this is taking forever! I just want to hussle back to Redcliffe
that village is gonna be toast, I know it. I shoulda just killed the kid or his mom.
My origin story was magi so I immediately recognized Jowan down in the basement in Redcliffe. I liked that they gave you the option to use blood magic to save Conner. It was also interesting to see a character from one of the 6 origin stories play such a large role in the quest.
so now I'm thinking a) anyone who played a different origin story has no idea of this NPCs background. they only know that he's a blood mage and so this could easily affect the decisions you make regarding his fate and b) there must certainly be other NPCs that I will encounter down the line that figure in other origin stories but whom I won't recognize. very nice.

Damn that is one shitty collector's edition. No extras and a second disc in a plastic bag? How awful. What is on the second disc by the way?

It's a crappy DVD. If the packaging was nice this would be alright, but it's a horrid little thing. Good job it's only £5 more - that's the cost of Warden's Keep, so if you were planning on buying it anyway it's alright.

Easy seems pretty easy to me. i made a video showing a duel with the vary difficulties. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adjq7sxmlp8
edit:
So im redoing my Nightmare run of Dwarf Noble Rogue because i didnt bother recording before. i was pleased to find out that some enemies are not static. As i was leaving a certain area there is a battle with some darkspawn. im am almost 100% positive that the previous run did not have a yellow named Blight Hound in the group. Wiped me like 4 times :lol Also some of the loot i am positive is diffferent. Got a nice mace from a random corpse.. not an enemy, just one thats on the ground already. i dont remember what i got before but it wasnt as nice as this mace.

My first and last EA collectors edition. Glad I didn't waste even more money on the console version.
THAT is the collector's edition I bought? No translucid shell? Not a tin case either? What about the map and the OST? Is that bonus disc?

Fan is normal, but I was getting 20-40 fps on the same settings on Vista 64.
I completely cleaned away all traces of drivers, and re-installed the latest nVidia ones. I then got 40-60, and a much smoother gameplay experience, because it used to chug when turning around the camera, even if the framerate was 30-40. That went away completely after I cleaned my system. I still think it slows down in busy areas, so it might be a 64-bit issue.

Depends, that one is the UK CE, I knew it was different but not _that_ different.
Received news today that it'll take upto a week to receive my redeem codes for my extra shizzle that comes with the Digital Deluxe Edition, GG EAstore, last time I'm buying something there...
Edit; just checked my mailbox and it looks like I just received all my codes!

I'm running the game at max graphical settings, 1920x1200 resolution, 2x AA and no Vsync with a Core 2 Duo E8500 (3.2ghz), 4GB RAM and a HD4870 1GB on 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate and according to FRAPS at least I am getting 60fps with dips into the 40s in some scenes. Some areas will even drop into the 30s but I have never gone sub-30.

Is there a way to make the text size larger for higher resolutions? i would like to run higher but it makes reading a pain.

I'm a little disappointed with my performance currently, and I'm using Windows 7 64-bit.Truant said:
Core2Duo@2.4Ghz
4GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670
I know the videocard isn't up to much, but I'm playing with settings on medium and AA completely off (vsync on) to get 40fps.
Meanwhile I get the same framerate or better in L4D2 with everything maxed (and AA off).

My experience so far has been pretty crappy, first the client download was corrupt, that got sorted by downloading the entire thing again (basically everyone who did the preload had corrupt files), today I read it could take upto a week to get your redeem codes for all the extra shizzle but I just got that in the mail.
All in all not so good but everything is OK now, I wouldn't recommend it though...
EAstore were the first ones listing the Digital Deluxe Edition, that's why I bought mine there...
I got the 360 version and the graphics are.. a bit arsey, but its to be expected. I get the same feeling that I get from Mass Effect, that I love doing the adventury bits and talky quests but don't enjoy the combat much. I think as soon as I beat this im going back to my original 6 CD (i think) BG1 and installing the widescreen mod and finally beating it.
yeah, the more I play, the more low res textures I see on the 360. the default "blacksmith" clothing texture is ridiculously low res. The two front buckles are distractingly awful looking in cutscenes - It looks worse than the textures in Shenmue. It's one thing for low res art on walls or floors or static objects but it's much worse to see that on people.
it's not hindering my enjoyment of the game but it's certainly something I notice here and there.
... I smell a double dip coming up with the PC version :lol perhaps after I've played ME2 and AP.

They didn't. DLC NPCs don't actually exist in the base game (they're not on the disc). They get injected into the game when the updater service finds that there is new DLC available. It's supposed to give a (relatively) seamless way of accessing DLC. I love the idea, and the implementation.
Some people hate the idea of NPCs offering DLC (I've no idea why), so if you never want to see these NPCs, just disable the updater service.
