Yes, Wicked Eyes,,, is the Winter Palace episode, but it does not come early in the "Inquisitor's Path" and the characters need to be in the mid-teen levels before you have much of a chance to get through it if you try it early. It contains just about every unpleasant feature that DAI has to offer. The nonsense about court approval -- which you lose in "forbidden areas," for one. There is an area called "Servants Quarters" where wikis and videos claim that you lose approval points only inside buildings, but not in the garden where there are a lot of things to do. Surprise: you keep losing points in the garden too. And then there is the fact that you need to find statuettes to open some doors. Surprise: there are far fewer statuettes to be found than are needed to open all the doors. And to boot, it is very hard to identify which are the doors that you actually WANT to open. I had to save the game, open the door, see what is inside, and if it was a dud, reload the game and skip that door. I could go on, but what's the use. The bottom line is that while each area has some really infuriating feature -- such as those locations or tasks that either do not have a way to get to them, or can only by accident find access to. I keep getting the feeling that the developers sat around in conferences coming up with ways of making the player angry instead of satisfied. And as I have said elsewhere, I would rather have my fingernails ripped out than replay this thing -- and I doubt that I will get through it even once. I have gotten a lot of well-meaning suggestions, but the fact is, I have long ago found and done the things they suggest -- yet my game does not do the things that are claimed would happen. I have even "repaired the game" which actually ended up me losing some progress even though EA claimed that it would have no effect on my progress.
As for the graphics, I am fortunate that I have three extremely high end PCs to use, and I have never encountered any graphics problems. If I did, that would definitely mean rubbish bin time.
By the way, have you noticed that the word processing feature of this forum creates constant typographical errors and word salad? Reminds me of some phone keyboards that insert nonsense words you never intended. I spend more time correcting errors than composing my posts.
