Well, I just stopped where everyone else seems to have stopped. After getting the keys to the ship, you can't leave, cause the galaxy map is fubared. images/smilies/sad.gif

So i've leveled up to 10 already by just poking around the Citadel. Now i'm off to watch ST:VOY until a fix comes along...

Or i can go take some screens of my chick character. images/smilies/wink.gif

I'm getting 45-60 fps, the lowest funnilly enough being in the elevators (love the music, btw), where you just wait...

I've found the rest of the keepers and talked to some more people and am now almost on level 12. I NEED to play more. images/smilies/cry.gif

The elevators are loading zones, Icebone.. thats why the low FPS occurs there.

Is this the game that is made by the same people who made Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic?

If so, I will start saving today so I can build a rig that handle this game, cause I love KotOR.

The game is in 3rd person, I intend to finish it at least twice, once going positive, once negative.

And I will NOT stare at another man's ass for the next 100 virtual hours. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Ok, I answered my question; yes it is made by Bioware. I really like KOTOR (I still play it once in a while) because not only was it a RPG, but an action game also, with so many sub plots and places to explore. Part of the reason I like the Elder Scrolls series, too.

Off topic: it took me 300 hours playing Morrowind to cover about 50% of that area.

I don't think it's as vast as Morrowind, but i've played about 10 hours and only got to the point where you can leave and start exploring.

It IS as complex and nuanced as KOTOR was/is, if not more. What makes it so much better than KOTOR for me, though, is that it is a lot closer to home and not "A long time ago in a galaxy far away." Even in my short experience of the game, i've seen that it is a proper scifi game. Humanity may have colonized the most distant reaches of the galaxy, but it still feels so close to home and so real, it just sucks you in... And the voice acting is done so brilliantly and the lip syncing and...

Put shortly: images/smilies/w00t.gif

Just found out that this is the voice behind Liara T'Soni:

Looks like she was even modelled after her.
