Imagine if every time you started a new game, you had to track down a different [OBJECTIVE] and you had to follow a different set of clues and bread crumbs through different setpieces. Like, this time your son survives, but next time it's your wife, only it's not your wife but the cyborg someone made from her corpse who is hell bent on becoming the new Master, and then next it's that door to door vault salesman who broke in and threw your family out of their cryo tubes so they died hundreds of years ago and now he's trying to rebuild the vault industry.

I asked this something like 30-40 pages back, but could anyone with proper computer knowledge and poo poo tell me if I'd be able to run the game on my PC?

Intel Core i7-4720HQ quad-core, 2.6ghz
NVIDA GeForce GTX950M, 4GB of dedicated VRAM
8GB DDR3

If I can keep it console quality and 60fps I'd be happy, but I'd rather know if I can play the thing before buying and then refunding it.

Nope. Best you'll manage is like 10 FPS and below console quality.

In video games sons are supposed to serve as vessels for the Father's Broken Dreams so if my son turned out to be something other than a cabaret dancer I am suitably going to be disappointed in my Video Game Child.

I liked the part in Gothic 2 where you got to choose an apprenticeship and learn a trade.

Most of the time I became a wee hunter but sometimes it was fun to be a wee blacksmith or wee alchemist. I think there was a fourth trade but it was probably dumb since I've forgotten it.

You find your son wearing a blood-soaked, centuries old dress, smashing bodies to pieces with a sledgehammer. He learned it from you, he says. You smile approvingly and adjust your own sundress.

CPU is fine, Ram is fine. GPU is slower than what's in consoles.

Console quality but sub-60 FPS.

Definitely playable.

You're well above minimum requirements, so it will run, but you'll have to live without a lot of the bling bling.

Minimum requirements are a lie. I present as evidence Assassin Creed Unity, whose requirements are :

Processor Minimum Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or AMD Phenom II x4 940 @ 3.0 GHz

RAM Minimum 6 GB

Video Card Minimum NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2 GB VRAM)

it runs pretty well at High settings, 1080p, on my AMD FX 6300 @ 3.5 GHz, 8Gb RAM and Radeon 7870XT (which is basically a slightly slower HD7950)

Alright. Honestly, I just want to be able to play it at at least PS4 quality and above 30fps. My TV is lovely as gently caress so even if the game looked stellar on console it'd look rear end on my like 7 year old screen.

Fitting that I initially built my pc (i5-2500, 560ti, 8gb) for Skyrim and I'm finally updating for fallout 4 (gtx970, 16gb ram) should be good. Sorry to nerds with consoles or bad pcs.
