He swapped kit before he landed on that planet. The gun he was using was one of the preorder guns, I think.

Completed the download. Maybe my CPU is the bottleneck? I have a i7-3370K but I'm not seeing high cpu use anyway.

as someone who lives in scotland and loves most variants of the scottish accent, i hate her loving voice. probably not the actress's fault; most of the voices seem kind of poorly directed

She did Cait in Fallout 4 too and I found her voice just awful. Maybe she's just bad?

Your CPU shouldn't bottleneck for things like this. It's gonna be GPU heavy not CPU heavy (unless they really hosed it up). Check what your ram usage is.

E: I have an i53570 and it's perfectly fine even in CPU heavy games like Warhammer TW.

Never expected that. I thought the requirements must be a mistake.

inquisition ran really poorly relative to how it looked on my high end at-the-time system. bit of a shame considering frostbite as a whole seems to have matured considerably

Yeah but there is still awesome world building and story telling regardless with the medium that's been in play. Key point, Horizon's world building and mystery/storyline and character development was all fantastic. This? It's non existent.

Game's broken on my computer. Doesn't even run, just an empty black window. I've tried repairing the install, running in administrator, compatibility modes. Nothing works.

Guess I'll try deleting it and re-downloading in the morning?

The jetpack jumps are good, though they're kinda rigid and janky

It gets replaced by more pleasing 'magic' if you spec vanguard, or straight up teleporting (longer range) for explorers.

Gotchya. Yeah well, even Bioware games (From a while ago obviously) had actual writers and great character development. Namely Mass Effect 2 in that regard.

It's painfully obvious, at least in the initial hours, the people they hired here to write this have no writing experience what so ever. Either that, or Mac Walters hosed the entire process which is definitely a viable excuse. The guy frankly shouldn't have been involved with this game

Either that, she's just getting into voicework, or what she's given didn't include emotions.

Could be a combo of all three.
