The Witcher 2 Debut & Witcher 1 Discussion : Othor Games

» Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:33 am

I beat the game on the highest level of difficulty, but was it ever fun and worth it! I loved that game... now I want to go replay it.

Barghests? They're so easy to knock down with Aard, and follow it up with a fatality. Same goes for drowners.

Anyway, importing saves from Witcher 1 into Witcher 2 = good stuff. Looking forward to it.

Importing saves!?

Now I really do have to go reinstall it.

This will be grand, the first part was already more-than-awesome, and I guess the second one will be even more so, since the developers now know that their game concept worked so well. So they can take some risks and build up on it, maybe an even more diversed storyline.

I wouldn't normally say this, but I'm crossing my fingers for a console release. My computer can barely run the first one

.

They say they are planning to release it on the console as well, but we all know how that went in the past.

Well, in the interview with the lead designer on Gamespot today, he said they probably will, but this is strictly a PC release initially and that they have no timeline yet for a console port.

Ah sweet! More choices and consequences! Now I really want to play the first game again. This time I'm going to try and sleep with everyone, because Geralt is a dude

By the way, who did you guys side more with?

Spoiler

The scarlets or the squirrels?

Heh -

Spoiler

even when I wanted to play through and side with the Order, I ended up siding with the Scoia'tel. Even not knowing anything on the first play through, the Order just seemed too sketchy to me. Not that the Scoia'tel are upstanding citizens though. That was part of the fun of that game, that you really did not ever have a clear path to behave like some paragon of virtue.

I am a sad panda because it's 95% likely not to come out on the 360. Unless I missed something in the trailers.

It looks really good, ill definitely get it. But i should probably play the first game again, since i only finished it once.

I watched that interview yesterday and it made me even more interested. Sounds like they tweaked the combat, which could be good - I found the combat pretty easy, as it all became a matter of timing. They re-worked the engine, it sounds like as well - so maybe there won't be the hellacious loading times that plagued the early days of the first game. He mentioned companions and some other interesting stuff. *sigh* It's at least a year away from release though.

Got the Wticher back on my computer and finished updating it. Also I think this should be made into a general The Witcher thread so we can centralize the discussion.

I liked the first one, so I'll have to look into this. It was a little unfortunate that you couldn't create your own original character, as I always enjoy that in RPGs, but I guess that's the natural concequence of it being based on books, seeing as the story and character qas already defined in the source material (I'd presume so, at least, I've never actually read the books.) Sadly, I never finished it, not that I didn't want to, that just sometimes happens to me with games. Seeing this news, though, I might have to play it again, especially if it allows save importing.

I modified the title. So this thread can meet all your Witcher needs.

Also, what did you all do to the monsters you fought

Spoiler

, specifically the werewolf, talking undead guy, and the striga? I kept them alive in the game I played.

Also,

Spoiler

how do you get that Witcher's special armor thing?

For anyone that doesn't have The Witcher EE yet.

Yeah,

Spoiler

I let them live too.

Have you completed the game? If not, after the Murky Waters chapter,

Spoiler

where you find one piece, you'll have a quest log entry to find the other stuff you need to have the armor made. Who makes it depends on various decisions you've made in the game.

Bleh, yeah I beat the game...I know about the one piece from where

Spoiler

Berengar

was searching and got the bard's tale, but was lost after that.

I patiently await my 14$ copy of the 1st one :mellow: .

» Thu Nov 11, 2010 7:46 am

Hmm, just played the Witcher again. Those moral choices are still good, despite this being my umpteenth play through. I was trying to go neutral the whole way (or as close as possible, damned bank), but was guilted into helping the Scoia'tael at the last minute.

Did regret it later though. Both sides of that conflict annoy me at the end game, so I rarely go one way or the other. Plus Raven's armour looks better in neutral, and looking good is important.

Also, is it any wonder why King Foltest can't find a worthy poker opponent when he insists on keeping his gambling habit a state secret?

Not that I needed more reasons to :drool: over the prospect of this sequel, but http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/thewitcher2/video/6254609

Wasnt 1 being released on the 360 or was it canceled ?
