A level 12-20 D&D adventure would pose major new design challenges.

The minimum requirements are a freaking RX 480. How is that high? I can literally max it out with my 6650 XT on 1080p.

Ohh, thanks. I guess I got this confused with another game or maybe I misread min and recommended specs.

The biggest requirement, imo, is probably just having an SSD for the game. There's a LOT of pop ins and textures that just don't load until a few minutes later. It does have a "slow HDD mode" but it hasn't really done much from what I can see.

That's pretty normal for modern AAA games. There's just a lot of texture streaming going on and that requires a lot of bandwidth that HDDs don't have. You can be lucky if it is just blurry textures & pop in and not also strong stuttering.

I've gotten away with even harder to run games on a HDD but even if it is on an SSD, I've found it to be inconsistent plus only BG3 acts up compared to everything else I have going.
