DigitalFoundry gives the PC port a good review:

this comes after a glowing review by Eurogamer that Ive already linked in the Steam thread
Dragon Age: The Veilguard's PC port is polished, performant and scales well beyond console quality
Digital Foundry's tech review for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, along with those all-important optimised settings.

A good port, no DRM, no online requirements, and returning to Steam with no EA app nonsense. Did EA... learn something?

Have fun! I'm so jealous. I won't get to play for... 17+ hours? Today and tomorrow are going to drag hahaYeah I got it today! Installing it right now. Hyyyype!

It's up on Steam now! My remote download has started, and I should be home in less than 4 hours. 
Running on the opening area at 90 fps, 4K, DLSS Quality and Frame gen, DF's recommended settings with no RT.

I really need to tweak the settings. It runs well for the most part, but the camera is kinda jerky or something.
I spent 2 hours in the character creator last night, and have tweaked Rook every time I am in the Lighthouse.

Tweaked my settings a bit further because 4k was giving me a ton of stutters, settled with 1440p no DLSS but DLAA, RT On and RT Ultra on as well.
31 hours in, and Ive been pretty happy with the game so far.
The start of the game is way more linear than I'd like, and was worried that the game would jump the shark after a fish in a barrel turret section early on. But DAV course corrects massively after it opens up, and I've since been very satisfied by the quest lines and general exploration.
The character creator is sick af:
I count myself blessed though that I read a trophy guide (PowerPyx's, to be specific) pretty early in the game, as apparently one of the hard binary decisions midway through can result in inability to get the best ending. Chillingly, the apparently "wrong" decision was the one I absolutely would have chosen, had I not known this in advance...

Kept messing with settings at 4k and stuttering seems to be gone, no idea why. I wonder if having Firefox and tabs open takes away some of the available cpu.
Yeah I feel exactly the same, was little worried in the beginning but loving it now that it’s more open.
About the choice, eek! I chose to help the crows am I fucked?
Well... yes, allegedly.
I'll shoot you a PM to avoid mucking up the thread with spoilers lol.Wouldnt this take up both CPU overhead and RAM?
OP

I also read about that choice, so I chose the side I didn't want to choose. I kind of regret it now, but hey... that's what re-plays are for!
My experience was very similar to everyone else's I guess -- I was very worried during the first few hours or so, but now I'm having a blast. I wish I could parry better, but even with the parry timers at their most generous, I just suck at timing anything like that, especially with all of the enemies swarming me and spell effects everywhere. Makes my choice of playing a Duelist rogue a bit questionable lol

I totally understand where youre coming from, lol. However, parrying isnt that bad - basically its entirely up to the little Arkham like reticle that appears above your character's head. When it turns yellow (from white), press parry.
If you still cant work it out.... respecs are free lol! Ive already respecced into all three rogue variants using a single save file, before finally settling on the "engineer" style rogue (forget what it was called). Completely painless process.
Same! I stopped even trying to parry, I just dodge instead all the time and it is working pretty well. I did however lower the difficulty one step.
Finished the game last night and it was great! Think it actually is my GOTY. All characters were great. Really liked the story. And felt that things I did mattered and helped me reach story beats that felt satisfying.
Still in the early bits where you collect your party. Just did the first mission for the crows and got lucanis.
Will hopefully have more time in a couple weeks to really delve into this game
