How is the game performing on the PS5? What were your expectations, and how were they met?

Also, what size screen & res are you playing on and in what room?

    There are some weird delays when casting some spells and sometimes in dialogue, the armor stays low res for a second, but other than that, I had almost no bugs or perfomance issues. One funny bug I had was a defeated githjanki standing around idling instead of being dead (I could still loot him). The game also looks much better in 30fps and due to fighting being turn based 60fps isn’t really necessary anyway. Concerning expectations, they were really high and I’m still constantly blown away by it. It’s probably the best RPG I have ever played certainly concerning depth of story and dialogue interactions (the only comparable game I can think of is Planescape Torment). The fact that you can talk to every single NPC (including animals and some corpses) and they reply with at least one voice-acted line and a cutscene is insane! Those lines also change according to your situation in the story. This is why I talk to every single NPC I meet, you stumble upon some sweet, tragic and funny little stories like that (and occasionally another quest). I’ve played 49 hours and I’m about halfway through. I’m already considering doing another playthrough immediately after finishing.
