First hours into the game ( spoilerfree)

Hi guys, I am playing the game (on ps4) since saturday and I would like to share with you my impressions. I'm about 6 hours in it and still in White Orchard ( and far from leaving it).
First of all, forget all the sh*t about downgrade. Game looks wonderful. if you are an emotional person you could cry in front of its beauty. Youtube video looks nothing like the real game. Believe me on this.World feels like a real world and every NPC seems alive!
....BUT there are some (really) little things that annoys me. I write them so maybe the devs could fix them in future patches/dlcs.

- Disappearing trees before you pass them by. This is a little bit immersion breaking..But I think this is not possible to change because of the camera...

- Name over every animal. When you are in a forest or field and you see an hare or a deer you will always see their names upon their heads. HUD is really customizable but this cannot be removed. Thanks devs but I know how an hare looks like, you don't have to remind me every time I see one! And when there are 5 or 6 of them it becomes distracting!

-Inventory words are terribly small! While I have no problem with subtitles, the words in the inventory are way too small!! We are all going to be blind after the 200 hours of our playthroughs! ( My tv is pretty big and I play 1,5/2 m from it )

- There is no way to know how much hours you are into the game. Save files do not tell you.... I would like to know how much time I spend in this game!! This is not difficult to add!



Anyway, these are just little things overall and they are not going to ruin your experience. I have a feeling that this game is going to be the best RPG I've ever played.

Was never worried about the graphics,, and even the things you complained sbout seem to be really minor problems and could easily be fixed with a patch in the future.. Cant wait man.

They are simply amazing! Sunset is poetry...Immerges everything in orange light like in a dream. If you stare into the sun it is going to blind you like in real life :)
And when you are in a forest, you see the clouds and start to think " F*ck, it is going to rain.."... Simply priceless!!

The character stats page(the one which shows all stats) also displays the time played at the bottom. Obviously it's per-save file, though.

Never played it ( I read all books and played the second)... But since you can customize everything in the HUD, it would be nice if you could also erase them...Not a big issue anyway!

Do you have Dragon Age: Inquisition as well by any chance? I wonder how the two games compare in strictly graphical terms.

here's my theory about this. unless you mean they are popping in and back out, this may be a feature some open world games, and games with very thick underbrush and trees use this technique to allow your character to be seen as he/she is travelling through the foliage.

anyways, nice read, i have heard there will be a launch day patch too, so if there are any annoyances, they could be fixed tomorrow (mon 18th//tues 19th).

cheers!!!

I have played DAI for about 60 hours...then I gave up before finishing the MQ because I got really bored by it... I found the graphics of Inquisition really good IMO...But here we are on another planet! Night/ day ;)

I don't know if you are sarcastic or not... In the first case, as I said, is something really minor...But I just find it useless to read everytime what animal is in front of me

I request to please patch the same style sex scenes
They are boring as hell, brief and same everywhere. really sad that there is no real variety here.:(
Introduce some random camera angles and poses. None of the sex scenes is atleast at the level of elven baths scene from TW2.
I was hoping that atleast romances with leading ladies would be different and in special environments
but they are not.
:'( :'( :'( :'(

Why in a game like this do they not show you the time played. This is something so simple to put in
