Glad I did not pre-order this game. Still trying to make up my mind, but might wait and hope for some kind of sale. I have an HD7770, does anybody know if mantle works on first gen GCN cards? Not expecting much, because I have a decent cpu, but it might be fun to play around with.
I don't know what you all have about the controls but I'm having a freaking good time with this game and found the controls to be not that bad. Not perfect but usable with a 2H Dwarf Warrior
Love how this game is turning out, i'm having a great time with it and don't regret buying it!

While I like the game the controls feel a bit foreign. This assuming you are using mouse controls. They just don't act like they normally do. It's almost like the Neverwinter Nights 2 team made them, which was also a good game with awkward controls, though this one isn't that bad, just a bit weird.
After the initial loading screen, everything just turns black. The official Dragon Age forums has a thread where hundreds confirm the same issue all with dual core processors. In fact an official rep posted a response saying the game will not work on dual core processors or tri-core. The game requires a quad core processor to run.
Yes welcome to 2014. Quad cores have been the norm for the past few years. Finally theyre pushing things forward!!
"Wanna know average number of times parts of exe code are fcked around between RAM and HDD in the span of one hour? 150000 copy/write iterations. That's about 10000 times more than usual. DRM constantly decrypts the game code into the memory and encrypts it back. This is the most bull**** usage of encryption software I've ever stumbled upon. And even though code chunks are quite small (couple of kilobytes per go at worst), they are all stored in one memory block. And playing the game for 4-8 hours(depends on SSD quality) means that you can say goodbye to that block." Source:http://www.rpgcodex.....5#post-3599880[1]
So check your install folder for Origin games. You might want to switch over to your hard disk drive with spinning iron plates instead of sacrificing the life of your solid state drive too early. Denuvo is also used by "Lords of the Fallen" and FIFA 15 so far. I think a lot of games will follow.
I chose not to buy the Securom edition but I am way too much into DA to completely ignore it. Buddy picked up the game on console and reserved this weekend for it.
BTW, here is how the Denuvo protection works:

Not sure what to believe. It may be technically possible though on a low memory system (2-4GB RAM) for Denuvo to constantly move the .exe code about in RAM to increase swapping which isn't duplicated on high-memory / swap disabled systems. And AFAIK, that "20MB write requests" that's written *by* the process (probably save-games, checkpoints, etc) doesn't include swap file data (that's handled by Windows on a 'higher' level, not the game itself). Eg, if I open up a large 2GB video file without changing anything on a laptop with 2GB RAM, it'll show "0MB process write requests" for the video editor's .exe, even though Windows itself will have soaked up over 1GB of swap space. Only way to truly be sure is monitor swap file & SSD write usage before & after running the game for a set period with no background tasks, as "process only write requests" is not proof (or disproof) of anything by itself.Edit - Further on in the Reddit URL, its been debunked.

Dragon Age Inquisition may have impressed the majority on consoles, but it still needs to fix a lot of bugs, performance and UI-related problems on PC.
Even if the majority of the PC community forgets about controls for a moment, there are so many game-breaking bugs and performance-related problems that need to be addressed immediately.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, you can look for workarounds in the list that follows!

Available on select AMD Radeon™ R7 series, R9 series and HD 7000 series graphics cards, the visionary Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture is a radically new approach to the design of a consumer GPU, making it a top choice for gamers who expect the best
#15 – Dragon Age Inquisition AMD Mantle API Locked?
Install the updated drivers from AMD, do a clean re-install and clear your registry. That will fix the issue for you.
According to Mem's earlier link, Mantle should work if you do the following:
Not sure what "clear your registry" exactly refers to here.
Yes, AMD Catalyst 14.4 WHQL (or later) must be installed on your system to take advantage of Mantle-enabled software.​ This graphics driver enables Mantle for both notebook and desktop systems configured with AMD Radeon​​ GPUs featuring the Graphics Core Next architecture.
Its just kind of awkward since it uses the same Engine as battlefield 3 and 4, both of which work fine on a dual core processor, multiplayer aside that is.
Heads up guys, on the issue of PC controls, Mike Laidlaw's tweets point to them fixing and addressing some of them in the upcoming patch.

Yeah moving-to-loot and auto-attack would be nice to have but they don't ruin the game by any means. The choppy cut scenes are a bit annoying though, and the command line didn't really totally fix it for me.
