Well, my lad's pestering finally worked and I started playing yesterday.
Wow, so many graphics settings! I think I have a lot of tweaking ahead of me. The default looks pretty nice and seems to play okay, but I want to see what I can eke out in terms of visuals and performance.
And so many keys to bind! I can't remember a game with so many keys! As a leftie, I've been struggling to find space in my usual mapping around the arrow keys, navigation and number pad keys. There are some options I'm hoping I'll hardly ever have to use because their keybinds are so inconvenient.
Also had some crashes and bugs. CTD at end of first online mission, and then I got stuck in the stable menu unable to proceed or to exit and had to end the process from the task manager.
Visually great and atmospheric at the moment, though.
