Something about this GIF got me more excited for this game than any of the other gameplay I've seen
From out of nowhere.
To those playing, how have the dialogue options/quest choices been? Black and white "be a saint vs a jerk", or more gray and subtle, more personality-defining a la Planescape Torment (ie being able to lie, or choose the tone of a response)
What a dashing OT. A most commendable job, master Stiler.
I'm ready to play this and post my impressions as soon as possible.

Nice OT! I really hope this turns out great. Will be a while before I play it, but I'm looking forward to it.
Also great topic and title, fantastic work.
Midnight tonight Paris time

Looking forward to this! Already have the game but finishing last couple of missions in Control.
Thanks. Day of release is a bit worrying but I hope it does well.
Like the look of the game a lot so will have a glance at the reviews tomorrow just to make sure they aren't really bad and likely get it.
Je ne suis même pas français, Je suis croate *wipes tears of joy*
I'm only 7 hours in, but the quest choices I've had so far have been good. It's not comparable to a good vs bad system, it's a little more grey. But the dialogue choices themselves aren't that varied. It's mostly charisma skill check vs bribe vs errand.
I think it'll review pretty well, but will docked some points for Eurojank.
Although everything they've shown so far has looked much more polished than I typically expect from Spiders, so maybe this will be the their breakout hit.
Bioware jank has been hurting them a lot more than usual lately (insert Andromeda memes here). If anything, I'd say Bethesda games are the ones that get the biggest pass for their nearly non-stop "it's not a glitch, it's a feature!" jankiness.
If the game is solid at launch, I'll be thrilled. Given the size and history of the studio, them releasing a game with QA quality even comparable to modern Bioware or Bethesda would be very impressive.
Hah, indeed. Looks like it's been around a long time before the hate movement erected.
Nice
As long as the game doesn't have any game-breaking bugs from reviews, I'll probably grab it there by the end of the week.
I've been playing this since Saturday. Really enjoyable once when adjusts - it has a fairly slow pace, fairly dull combat (as a magic user), lots of walking / running and talking, a buffer zone in place for fast travel which eliminates long loading screens (game is not true open world). On the plus side, lots of scope for customisation and knowledge that you will never become a Jack of all trades, different ways to achieve success in quests (which are reasonably heavily signposted), very interesting setting and context, good British voice acting distinguishing the groups by accents (can't quite place the native one - is it Southern African?) music by THAT man. Lots to like and feels like a real step up from earlier work.
Had this on the X since Saturday and it's not janky at all. Reminds me a little of Vampyr graphically in places, with a little bit of Witcher thrown in.
Known issue on the X (for some) game crashes when booting or in main menu when 4k is ticked in your xbox settings. Turning it off to load game and your save stops the problem, then when in game put 4k back on. Devs are aware and are looking into the issue.

Any word on console performance from early copies? specifically PS4 base
Mighty tempted, but upcoming guess reviews might have some indication on how well it runs

Yeah think you're right, i'm not seeing a great deal of HDR either.
Too many damn games are coming out in September. I was told this was a slow release year.
This looks great, might be a month or two before I dive in though.

I'm playing on base PS4 (7 hours in) and performance is quite good.
At the risk of upsetting French forum members, this shares the same look I have come to identify with other recent French games - Vampyr, The Council, A Plague Tale come to mind immediately (all of which I really enjoyed). There is something about the aesthetic, and I guess sharing a common musical genius also helps. Nothing as exaggerated as The Council and with voice acting 1000% better than that, but all the same there is something which ties them together (maybe it's only an effort to root the game in a particular historical milieu and to have realistic rather than "shiny" characters).
As far as I know we're waiting on the US side to report back, so nothing as of yet.
All of these games were produced by the same publisher (also French), so I'm not at all surprised by that. Focus Home knows what they like, and clearly they are finding an audience- both Vampyr and Plague Tale were cited to be commercial successes, and both Dontnod and Asobo already have new, as of yet unrevealed, projects with Focus.
I feel it's cool that we're getting another type of aesthetic. Most Eastern European games have common features; Japanese games obviously share one; why not French?
How's the story? Is the protagonist a blank-slate empty shell character or do they actually have a real personality?
Devs are doing an AMA on Reddit:
"Hello,
Thank you so much for the love and support!
Dragon Age Inquisition is definitely one of our biggest references! So yes, you can ;)"
Oh boy, what I wouldn't give for Dragon Age Inquisition 2! I hope Greedfall turns out great.
