Might start up Dragon Age Inquisition once I'm done with The Last of Us Remastered, I know it's an older game, but does anyone have any opinions of it?
It depends a little bit on whether you've played Skyrim and/or the previous two DA games.
On its own, there is an absolute ton of content. There is also a great deal of conversations with a huge number of party members. You don't have to participate in all of the chats, but you miss out on a good portion of the game if you do.
You do a main story mission, and then chase down 15 people to chat about what happened. However, the world is pretty interesting and well-realized. It doesn't really matter what class you play, there are bonuses to playing all of them, and your party consists of every other type of class so you can optimize your team that way.
It helps from a lore perspective if you've played the previous two games as you can set the game up to take into account decisions made in those games. It also helps with some of the factions and cameo characters that pop in.
I bring up Skyrim because DA:I decided to move away from story-based contained areas towards more open-world areas with quests in them. On the plus side, you get a real feel for exploration, but on the other hand, you fight a lot of generic enemies, and most of the time, the monsters will repopulate the next time you go there, which sort of diminishes the impact on the game world.
The most important lesson is to LEAVE THE HINTERLANDS.
There is so much to do in the starting area, that you can literally stay there forever. The original designers thought people would leave to explore the other ones eventually anyway, but people didn't, and tried to complete everything. As soon as the level range opens up for other areas, go check them out. Otherwise you'll be over-leveled for them if you just stay there.
It's a sprawling adventure with a lot of just wandering around and exploring if you like that kind of thing. I feel it doesn't quite pull off the open-world as well as Skyrim did, and it doesn't have as tight and gripping a story as DA:Origins, so the compromise doesn't quite work.
But if you want a time sink AAA adventure game with solid production values and great characters, I'd recommend it.
. I'm happy enough to get just 30 fps, even more so if it's with high settings. I'm still stuck in the mindset of when the goal was to never dip below that. Of course, the goal eventually became "never dip below 60" and, now, it seems to be "never dip into the double digits." What a time to be alive.
To be fair, American Truck Simulator really doesn't have much to render, it's 3 years old now so they've had time to optimize it better, and the 2080Ti is a beast of a card. Hell, I play Apex with a lot more going on and much better graphics and it never dips below what I get in ATS at its peak.
