I understand that it is for tactical reasons, but again, you don't know what's behind that door until you open it. If there's a creature behind there trying to kill you, well then it's time to adjust tactics.

For the record, Tzelanit, I went out and bought a 1050ti just so I can play this game. I have to use custom graphics to play it, and not on ultra like I could with many other games. I see this happening more and more with developers. They want to make a phenomenal game with all the latest technology, but they don't consider that their average gamer doesn't have the most up to date rig, so they won't be able to enjoy it as much.

I will say BG3 is in early access, so I'm sure they are going to work on performance issues. Just need to be patient for the time being. Keep the faith my brother!!! smile


I understand that it's more on me as the consumer to ensure that I'm up-to-date with my hardware, but I bought the game specifically because I was somewhere between minimum specs and recommended specs. It's really disheartening that the definition of minimum specs in this case is "you can play it on meager settings that make it look like an early Playstation 1 game" when in every other case that I've seen, falling between those spec ranges just meant that it would look fine and perform well, just nowhere near as well as top-of-the-line hardware. I hate to keep using it as an example, but going from Ultra in DOS2 to barely above Low seems VERY off to me.

I'm trying to stay optimistic since we're in early access. I'm hoping that they implement a fog of war or rendering distance option, and if not, I'll just keep my fingers crossed that optimization over time smooths things out.


I don't want to fall to bits 'cos of excess existential thought.
