Spent two hours in character creation and walking around reading books. I'm so going to put alot of hours into this. ****, I wish this came out last week when I had nothing to do.
4870 is a bit overkill for 1280x1024. but then again, if you're doing modeling, some extra power will never hurt.
I suppose a Core i7 is the only logical upgrade from that.
__________________ Red lights flicker madly, a siren rings and jolts are shaking the bridge as I run desperately towards the nearest escape pod. The escape bay is already on fire. I see dead or injured or dying people everywhere. The other commanding officers and myself are abandoning the crew and passengers to certain death. As my pod glides slowly in the field of stars, I can see the Hive-Ship becoming smaller and smaller, ripped apart by the deadly laser beams of the Ancients' battlecruisers. The battle for the Arc is lost. I failed, and I'm watching the death of one billion of my own kind, when the Hive is finally destroyed in a blinding, silent explosion.

Yeah thats why im changing my monitor to play games at max resolution.
I would have gotten an i7 but my motherboard only supports AMD cpu's
My rig isn't just for gaming as i said earlier but alot of video editing and 3d stuff, the school comps frustrate the hell out of me.
But i think i am upgrading to a Phenom II 955 BE which has great performance for its price and a 5970 to max out all games on high resolutions(hopefully crysis).
I've played it a little on the 360. I have to say combat is a mixed bag. You want to engange in combat but you also feel like avoiding it entirely.
It's a contradiction, that's just how turn based combat in rpg's makes me feel. It's fine in RTS but I'm just not convinced when it's in RPGs. Other than that I'm liking it so far.

It's real time, but it's still attributes against each other, not regular fighting. So it's your strength against your opponent's strength, etc... And like KOTOR 1 & 2, the moves are carried out automatically once you press attack. The only thing you actually trigger is your Talents/Skills/Spells/Potions/Traps/Poisons, etc....
It's a real-time/"turn based" hybrid, because of the auto attack and defense. The talents though do compensate for the automated aspects, I'm warming to the combat the more talents my warrior gets.
