The only other game I've experienced stuttering with on this PC was AC: Odyssey, and the stuttering only started happening long after I'd beaten the game and was just pottering around doing post-game stuff. (IIRC a DirectX update messed it up.)With Veilguard, I was able to play it smoothly for one day before the stuttering started, and I haven't been able to get the stuttering to stop since, no matter what I've tried (and I've tried pretty much everything at this point).I never put much stock into "the promise of decisions having long-term impact that carry over to the later games". Like, it's a neat idea, but eventually it was going to become too unwieldy with too many different possibilities. I'm not surprised they ditched it for Veilguard. Plus, the game takes place entirely in northern Thedas, whereas the first three games took place entirely in southern Thedas, so there's that as well.I don't really mind that each game plays differently. I love DA for the lore and the metaplot, and I've yet to be disappointed on that front.Rook reminds me a lot of Hawke. The fact that Rook can have different backgrounds with the different factions reminds me of the various origins in DA:O.One thing that's been consistent throughout the series is how your character's surname is always locked in.I think it's an excellent Dragon Age game. It builds on what's come before, making the blight and darkspawn scarier than ever before. We finally get to see places like the Tevinter Imperium, Arlathan Forest, Weisshaupt and the Anderfels, Antiva, Rivain, and all those places we've only read about in the previous games. The overall metaplots relating to the elves, the Qunari, and all that are building to satisfying conclusions (so far - I haven't finished the game yet - just doing the Siege of Weisshaupt now).Stuttering aside, the only thing I dislike about Veilguard is having to visit so many different merchants to sell valuables and upgrade faction strength. It feels a bit like I'm running errands. (Like finding the dwarf's lost nug in Orzammar ....)</blockquote>
