Summary for those of us who hate watching videos?
Overall a few lost FPS in v2.0, but the video justified it by outlining the new lighting effects, more abundant and more realistic A.I.
There were a couple frame drops when driving over 100 somethings/h.
Vehicle sounds are greatly improved in v2.0 compared to v1.63, same goes for firearms. Firearms feel much more powerful in v2.0.
Thanks
the new lighting things seem to bug out a bit, tho. Nothing major, but for me, Dex's skin turned entirely white for a bit during the car ride with him in the beginning. Caught me by a surprise. :D
Sorry to hijack, would you recommend a new playthrough or picking an existing character? I am only missing the Silverhand ending, and I saved that for Phantom Liberty. Seeing as that comes out in 4 days, are there enough changes for it to be worth rolling a new character?
I can obviously only speak for myself: I started a new playthrough just to see what has changed. So, worth? I've only just picked up the relic, no sidequests/gigs/etc done yet.
Some things feel new, eg. I don't recall the arasaka tower had destroyable walls or somesuch before, but could be I just managed to sneak/shoot better before. Mostly the things that are changed/feels changed are fairly small, apart from the skilltrees and mechanics.
Also, the PL questline apparently opens when you're done (?) with voodoo boys, so I kinda felt that I want to tackle that when it's given to me. But with the new enemy scaling (love or hate it), I guess the dlc mission(s) stays relevant regardless of your level.
But ultimately up to you, I guess. Flip a coin if unsure? :P
I decided to wait. Used an existing character to just run around and I am not pleased with the framerate drop (50-55 to 31 max on the same settings).
I started a new playthrough and I'm really enjoying it. The story is the same but the new trait system makes it feel like a proper RPG, and the combat feels more intentional.
There still 3 days until release, I'll probably stick with my new character through the expansion even if I have to wait a few days to reach the new content.
