Darth Maniac Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 The Official FAQ has this to say about character ageing: "For certain species, we have an age slider as a facial customization option. This feature adds a couple levels of wrinkles to a character's face (please note, it requires a GeForce 3 or higher card to see). " Note that it only mentions an Nvidia chipset. I am upgrading soon to a Radeon 9800 Pro. I am assuming that this will also allow me to see the extra wrinkles - Am I correct? Does anyone have any idea how the Radeon 9800 will render other graphical aspects of the game - Will I be at a disadvantage unless I go down the Nvidia route? The 9800 is supposed to be the Rolls Royce of Video cards so I would hope not. Perhaps the FAQ is poorly worded but this quote has me worried - I really want to see Galaxies in its full glory.

Jackrabbit Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I'd assume it's just bad wording, because I can't understand why the devs wouldn't support ATI. I don't know for sure though, so don't hold me to it, but I doubt they'd be that crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 The term "Geforce 3 or higher" is commonly used to describe how fast/good graphics card you need. A Radeon 9800 is "Geforce 3 or higher". Don't worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deggesim Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 For Darth Maniac: don't worry! When I'll upgrade my pc I will certainly buy a Radeon9x00 card (now I'm with a Geforce3 Ti200)... I think that the FAQ should be better posted with a reference to DirectX8 card requisite for the game although I hope that there will be graphical aspects implemented with DirectX9 API Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Maniac Posted June 2, 2003 Author Share Posted June 2, 2003 Im not talking Old Ben Kenobi age here - I just want to look like I am old enough to shave and to have had some experience in the Galaxy. My character will be roughly the age Han Solo was in A New Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatari Bazrak Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 well, I might just put a pinch of wrinkles to make make him realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devlyyn Sarr Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 I wouldn't mind playing an old guy. Well, not too old, but old enough to give the appearance of having experience in the world. Oh, and your radeon 9800 will be awesome for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Yeah, the purpose of the age slider is for RP value. You could play an aging BH, hardened by time, or you could play a withering old man who's been running the family business since he was 16.

True Neutral Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 So... when you get older, does it hinder your abilities... at all, no matter what class? Also, is it only facial features that age, or other body parts... like... old woman boobs... tee hee hee *giggles* *cough* pardon me... *BBBEERRRRRCCHHEEEEEEE* also i dont want to have a comb over if i'm human... i'll just have to get a nice hat to cover it up...
