Bioware revealed the system requirements for "Dragon Age: Inquisition" for the PC platform one month before the action-packed role-playing game is scheduled to hit store shelves.
In the official website of "Dragon Age," the developer came out with the list of the system requirements needed to play the game.
According to Bioware, the minimum PC system requirements to play the upcoming installment of "Dragon Age" include a Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit OS, an AMD quad-core 2.5 GHz or Intel quad-core 2.0 GHz CPU, and at least 4 GB RAM. The graphics card should be somewhere between the AMD Radeon HD 4870 or NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT and should have 512 MB graphics memory. The hard drive must be 26 GB with DirectX 10 compatible sound card.
But to get the most out of the game, the developer is recommending to have at least Windows 7 or 8.1 64-bit operating system with AMD six-core 3.2 GHz or Intel quad-core 3.0 GHz CPU with 8 GB system RAM, an AMD Radeon HD 7870/R9 270 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 graphics card, and at least 2 GB graphics memory. Also, the hard drive should be 26 GB with DirectX 11 compatible sound card.
As for the game itself, fans of "Dragon Age: Inquisition" expressed concerns about the news that healing spells will not be featured in the upcoming action role-playing video game, but the game developers are fast to explain their decision.
"Now in Inquisition, by reducing healing, by actually defining HP to a range that can have real numbers in it, we can better balance encounters. And no, players can't rely on chaining potions. So what do they get instead?Abilities/gear/choices that actually have an effect on the battle... " senior writer for Bioware Lukas Kristjanson said in a forum.
He continued, "You spend more time in control of your characters making more varied decisions to have a greater effect on the flow of the battle. You have regen from spells and potions and gear. You have effects you can craft that grant health on enemy deaths. You have damage mitigation through abilities and buffs and crafting. Limiting health and balancing enemies accordingly makes more tactical choices viable while keeping the challenge."
"Dragon Age: Inquisition" will be out in stores in the U.S. on Nov. 18 and in Europe on Nov. 21.
