DirectX 10 not supported
Ok so.. I got Inquisition today. After installing it and hitting play I get an error that says that my graphics card does not support directx 10. I have a Radeon HD 2600 XT, which I'm pretty positive...

The exorbitant high cost of laptop gaming is self-defeating. Laptops (and the atrocious Intel video in most of them) are a major cause of developers shunning rthe PC platform in favor of console systems. A far better option is to use a spoace-conscious base system for gaming at home. A huge tower is simply no longer needed, if it ever really was.
A variety of compact form factor enclosures is available that won't overcrowd a college dormitory space, or small apartment, what have you. Continue to avoid "skinny" PC cases, which do not cool well and require Low Height GPUs that tend not to include game capable cores in them, but the variety of small cases is both excellent and cost conscious for the budget.
Once you actually have a base PC, just keep a skinny, small, and light weight notebook system for portable convenience until it actually wears out. Over eight years, for only $200 USD every couple of years, update the base machine to a useful standard for games, and you don't have to go through three complete laptops in the same time frame!

Oh, I know. I gave my gaming pc to a friend and I've built and repaired over 500+ PCs so I understand. I no longer have a stable place of residence and will soon be either in a hotel or at a friend's couch so a desktop just isn't an option. 🙂
My laptop wasn't purchased for gaming purposes anyway. It just happens to play Inquisition okay, and plays most games from 2012-2013 fine dependent on the game engine it's using.
Your forum name didn't strike an immediate chord, yoiu must have been a fan of the Babylon 5 series of televison shows and novels back when those were current, It was quite awhile back, since my copies are on VHS tapes, not DVDs. Compared to any of the Star Trek series or movies, the quality was head and shoulders above all of them.
(Pardon me, forum members, if many of you are too young to remember the TV show).
One of the best SCI-FI shows on TV.. I don't think many remember it.. I don't think some of the folks on here were born yet. 🙂 If you get a chance, watch a series called Tekwar. It was on SCI-FI channel for a brief time and it was a fun show. It's based on series of novels by William Shatner.
