But you can adjust difficulty settings in the menu if you wish to play the game for the epic story that it has, rather than grind the battles... Dragon Age 2, Inquisition and Veilguard are much easier games and require less thinking and tactics to play.

I tried to install DA Inquisition (a giveaway from the EGS) only to discover that you need to link your Epic and EA accounts to even be able to download the game. I was baffled and tried to install the only other EA game I have on the Epic Store, Star Wars Squadrons, only to see the same message. Since I have no interest to link both accounts, those are two EGS games I own that I won't play.

Actually no, it's three. I wanted to play Two Point Hospital and it gave me a strange message about disabling off-line browsing or something like that and, despite going to my settings and fixing it as the game required, it refused to work.

Who knows how many more will end added to the list. 

Just do what I do which is legally allowed here... Crack it. You own the legitimate copy.

AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 CPU To Feature Dual X3D CCDs For Up To 192 MB Cache, Ryzen 7 9850X3D Gets Boosted 5.6 GHz Clocks

https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d2-cpu-dual-x3d-ccds-192-mb-ryzen-7-9850x3d-5-6-ghz-clocks/

Rumour so take it with salt of course

It could be a mid-cycle refresh of sorts, but it kind of sounds too good to be true.

I could see the 9950X3D2 being real, with AMD using it to test the watters, see how people react to it and get more data from reviewers and users to fix the problems that having the extra cache split into the two CCDs will bring.

I don't see a good reason, at least for AMD, not consumers) to launch a faster 980X3D.

Ignoring the fact that wccftech is an aggregate site for rumours, regardless if they are real or fake... Just like when they wrote an article claiming that the MOBILE R9 M295X will be rebranded as the DESKTOP R9 380x... Which never happened.
I am surprised how often individuals on vgchartz shares "information" from questionable sources. - In this instance, Jizz labelled it as a rumour, which is good.

The 9950X3D2 would be the perfect CPU for someone like myself... For it to work, AMD must have some cracking yields on the CCX with low leakage in order to maintain clockrates and TDP levels at an acceptable level.

I couldn't agree more. I've tried to playing recently and it's a PITA to get to run properly. Mods give an idea of what a remaster could be like though. Loading those requires a specifc installion order. Given my experience installing mods on vanilla ME3 on PC, I didn't think it would such a pain. Modded Original ME3 > unmodded Legendary Edition. Although I'm glad for LE because the 3GB RAM limit on the original PC release of ME3 was the only real roadblock on mods. Too bad the mods had to be re-done for LE...and I've gone on an off topic tangent. Sorry guys..the perils of getting old. 

From what I have been able to understand is that Mass Effect Legendary Edition actually had good sales... (And is currently on sale on Steam if anyone doesn't have it.)
So I am remaining optimistic that we get a Dragon Age: Legendary Edition at some point... But the pain point there is that the Dragon Age games didn't all stick to the same game engine, so it's not just a simple matter of porting assets to the latest version of Unreal and dialing up the image quality settings.

Origins used the Eclipse engine which was also used for Neverwinter Nights.. Dragon Age 2 built on the Eclipse engine and dubbed it "Lycium" engine.
Inquisition and Veilguard used Frostbite.

Maybe the approach would be to take Origins+Awakening and Dragon Age 2 and throw it on an enhanced Lycium engine as a package... And then port Inquisition and Veilguard to the latest frostbite engine and add in some RT effects as a second package.

To be fair... I have personally not had many issues running any of the Dragon Age games... But I also have multiple PC's which run period correct hardware with the appropriate operating systems anyway.
