Can you go into bars and get drunk?
Can you break into peoples homes and steal stuff?

Like in the elder scrolls games.

I've been playing through the original again, recently. Can't speak for the sequel, but I think I spent about 30% of my playtime over the past couple of days staggering around Vizima drunk off my gourd.

Just like real life.

That's not too bad then.

I bet the CPU overclock wouldn't make much of a difference but the game needs a powerful graphics card at max settings.

We've yet to see how well the game's engine scales, it's a brand new thing on the market after all.

Basically this. Most games now are GPU limited - you often see an "i7" or "i5" in the recommended specs, but that is all just marketing. They don't actually make much, if any, difference to gameplay and FPS.

Very impressed how this looks though, wasn't expecting such impressive visuals. Must finish the first one asap - just don't have much time atm :(
 
My order has been dispatched. To which address I don't know. Either home or uni which means it will Thursday before I get my grubby paws on it. I am not going home until Thursday and the Uni post system is just that bad. Might order a second 5850 to arrive at the same time....

Ouch! I have backups of my saves all over the place :D I was stuck on Vizima for ages, then finally got the will to finish the whole section since TW2 was on the horizon.

Lost my Mass Effect 1 + 2 saves too - wasn't so bad, replayed number 2, but didn't feel quite as personal this time.

I backup all my saves now using Gamesave manager as there can be quite a few hidden in random places.

Lesson learnt I guess :( - at least this time I have the high res textures installed. Just going to take me a while to get to this game, but hopefully it will be a bit cheaper by the time I do get to it.
 
Yeah no need to get TW2 straight away if you haven't finished the first one yet. I think it will make the 2nd one far more enjoyable if you've played through the first one since you will know the world and characters more (and your choices carry over like in Mass Effect, which is awesome).

meh, first one is dated now. Looking more forward to playing the second one than the first. Plus, by the time I download the first one, then second will be out.
