djranis: wtf is up with ram, when a game requires more ram then it looks, its clear they lack the optimization and every bloody indie game coming out recently is asking for higher ram. When a game is based on nostalgia, maybe you should optimize it so it feels nostalgic enough to run on the nostalgic machine we played the bloody nostalgic games
Pardon my ignorance but what's wrong with the RAM?

djranis: Memory: 4 GB RAM seems a bit high for this game and when devs put out such specs, chances of the game being poorly optimized is really high, but if its as well optimized as torchlight 2, then who am i to complain
Windows 7 has a minimum requirement of 2GB of RAM to run. Having 4GB's isn't unreasonable, it's the minimum for modern everyday computer usage.

It's not the 90's anymore - games have high resolution textures, high quality audio - everything has to be loaded into the memory for usage.

Consider this (simplified, albeit practical) breakdown of RAM usage on your machine.

- Windows 7 would probably like to take 2GB
- browsers with multiple tabs open will eat up a good chunk too (I have 17 tabs open right now and chrome reports about 1GB of memory used, broken down into separate processes for every tab)
- any other third party programs: Skype, antivirus etc. also use memory

On top of that you need to run your game on whatever is left. So a game that uses, realistically, about 500-600mb of memory will still need to be run on a machine with 4GB of memory, because of all the other applications competing for memory
Just so you know, it's now confirmed - Pillars of Eternity is due to release at 4pm GMT / 12pm EDT / 9am PDT :)
