Demo Impressions

[Mortal]

Before I give my feedback on the demo, I would like to mention something regarding the many performance topics I read in this forums. Here are my specs and which settings I have along with FPS results:

Specs:

- 3080Ti.
- Ryzen 9 5900X.
- 3840x2160 aka 4k Resolution.
- Rendering scale 100% (this will impact performance HEAVILY if you push it beyond 100%).
- Texture Quality on High (it is highest option available).

FPS results:

Majority of time I average between 110-130 fps in most areas. However in the city with crowded areas it drops to 65-90 fps.

The majority of performance issues topics I read are running with 200% rendering scale. So try to run the game on 100% or 125% rendering scale and check if the performance is better for you.

Demo Impressions:

Pros:

What a long surprising demo, I clocked around 10.5 hours to beat it and I was very pleased. Asides from performance hit in the city, the game was great and ran well. Also, I tried the auto-battle so see how smart the AI choices are, and 80-90% of the time they were good. Moreover, the music, art, UI, world and characters designs are top notch.

Cons:

- No AA options and it seems to be tied to rendering scale (questionable dev choice).
- No detailed graphics options.

I hope these infos would help some of you out there. Stay safe.

Yeah I absolutely loved everything about it - likely will make a review for the demo tomorrow. I might even start again as I kind of botched the character name and his bonus trait at the beginning. Also apparently you can fight the dragon the mines and get cool stuff from it.

Absolutely validated my pre-order

Sound based.

I will probably not play the demo because it's a bit too long.

I'd be really annoyed if you could allocate your stats "wrong". I would hope it's minor because most achetypes don't use both magic and strength and I have no idea what direction I would want to take the MC in without seeing all the archetypes.

I know but unironically I don't want to spend that much time on a demo.

Absolutely confident in saying that there’s no right or wrong way to build your character. It’s mostly a big deal for the min max maniacs who want a perfect game
