Someone released cinematic tools. Which means flycam, fov controls, tonemapping, character lighting, colour control, dof...
I'll never finish this game.

Can you get a refund? Or will you get a monitor?

Who on earth thought it was a good idea to put the power of screenshot tools in my hands for this game?

I've been level 12 for days. I'm never going to finish.

It looks like a jaw bone from an animal. I don't know what it is exactly. He hasn't explained it. I don't know if he does later. I'm avoiding spoilers like the plague.

Ahh I don't know. Neither? It seems a bit mad to buy a monitor just to play one game. Where would I even put it...
I think I'll just keep going with the game, even though I'm losing a lot of the detail in not being able to read the text. Maybe it will be fixed at some point and I can restart it. I'm not that comfortable playing as a rogue anyway. I'm always a warrior on my first playthough these things.
I'm going to play a bit as soon as Ice Age Giants is over. I've just killed that caveful of mages near the start of the game. Not sure what I need to do next. (I was in that marsh full of undead, but I think it's too soon for me to be there, so I've come back). I haven't found the coastal part yet, or been let into Redcliff (did you guys check the windmill on the hill just in case there was a secret way in, haha?).

Getting into it now. I'm at the early bit where you're establishing camps. Seems to be a fairly big discrepancy in baddie strength in seemingly similar areas, but I guess that forces you to explore. 'Tis good. Wish I'd got it on PS4 instead of PC so I can play it on the big telly.

I killed my first dragon last night. I'm playing on hard, I was level 13, my party were level 12, the dragon was level 12.
I've got the perk that lets you carry 12 health potions and an extra slot unlocked for a third potion type.
I'd run out of potions completely by the time I killed it.
Fantastic.
Got some great lewtz.

Take Iron Bull with you the first time you go and kill a dragon. He's squishy, so maybe leave it until you're a couple of levels above the dragon. Lowest level dragon is the one in the Hinterlands.
Go and talk to Iron Bull afterwards.

HDMI cable.
Sorry, I hate this myth that you cannot play PC games on a TV or from your sofa.
Not that you would necessarily want to if you have a good hi-res monitor and a graphics card to support it as you can get much better graphics that way, but if sofa gaming is your aim, then the resolution of a HDTV is good enough at that distance, and a cable is not expensive (do not be ripped off by thinking you need an expensive one, it would take some heavy plant or electromagnetic equipment in your front room to cause enough interference to change a 0 to a 1 or vice versa as it is traveling down a cable, a cheap HDMI cable from Tesco will do the job just as well).

I'm well aware that I could plug the PC into a TV
I had it like that for a long time. But now the PC is in the spare room as a home office and not in the lounge with the big telly.

I did wonder, after all you got me an interview for an IT company some years ago that you worked at
Anyway , only got to play for about 15 mins last night, but damn does it look or what ? I have a feeling i'm going to lose a long time to this which is pretty handy as its going to be a long skint January

I know you were well aware but it still astounds me in this day and age that people can have a games console in the front room, but their PC has to be hidden away somewhere like some 'abnormal' twin in a Victorian horror story. If you're not living in a fucking show home, put any and all your computing gear where you can use it for optimum use and entertainment. If it's too ugly, just splash out on a nicer case for it or something.
I just don't hold with this 'console out front, PC out back' thing, we have 2 PCs (1 each) in our front room hooked up to TV and monitors and they are the centre of our entertainment world, I can't imagine a situation where we would think "oh I know, let's have the computers in a room where we can't easily use the big telly for gaming" - that would be like deciding not to have a cooker in the kitchen or something!

Sometimes the spare room is the place for optimal use. It depends on the person, their requirements, and how the rest of their house works.

Yeah, different strokes for different folks. Epona, you're both into your computers. My wife isn't and even if she was, there's no room for a hulking great tower.
I could invest in a small form-factor PC but it's simpler just to play on the ps4.

PLAY THE GODDAMN GAME, VP
I can't. I just need to take this screenshot. And line up this shot. And dig into the frostbite engine to change the post-processing for this scene. And...

Yeah, considered that, but it's a faff. With a PS4 I can pick up the controller, the TV turns on automatically and it just works.
Enjoying it so much I decided to get it on PS4 as well. Found a copy on eBay for £30. Bargain!

There are some games I'm willing to spend more money on. I have 3 copies of Mass Effect 1, and 3 copies of Dragon Age: Origins. And I bought 2 copies of DA:I, one for me and one for someone else who couldn't afford it. BioWare can have all my monies.
