Play weird glitch, but in the back of Chapter 2's area I found a neat glitch. The massive Nekker swarm kept re-spawning for me on hard difficulty. It started with an already insane 12, and then each time another 12 spawned when I walked by the area. My computer was lagging out and the Nekker were rubber banding all over the hills. Hahahahaha it was so funny, the squad of Knight's back there was swarmed and annihilated before they could so much as swing a sword at the massive horde. Thankfully by that time I managed to finish up with quest in the area, and didn't have to deal with them.

Where are the trolls in the first chapter? Need 2 hides and a tongue.

There is one in a DLC you can download for free. Remember to hit the install button after it downloads, kind of hard to see.

Seems like CD Projekt is planning to announce http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q2-2011/052411d.html this E3. Hmmm...

Is this worth getting?

This is the 3rd thread about Witcher 2 on the gamesas forums...

Expansion. I called it, I would say Mentok right about now, but it was too damn obvious. Wait... no it could be a port with work done on it to fix it up. Then give us free content. Either of those seem likely. They also said NEW.... hmmm.

TW2 console port I expect

Yea, but the thing that makes it complicated. They said NEW... that wouldn't so much be new as it would be a port.

I'm hoping it'll be a continuation to the story - The Witcher 2: The Tying of Loose Threads.

In fact, if they keep releasing material from the books in this format, I'd happily play this game and its DLC for the next decade...

Just finished the game today, and I am stunned. Any adventure that has you pondering your choices, wondering where you could have done differently, and itching to go back to try again, is a golden triumph in my book. The engine is absolutely gorgeous, moody and atmospheric, and the story kicks off running, thrusting you into the heart of events. Though it's not the longest RPG I've played, toiling through the web of intrigue has been a suitably thrilling ride, and I can't wait to try the other paths I avoided this playthrough. At the same time, however, I'm a little disappointed: the ending seemed a little rushed, emptier than the preceding 2/3 of the game, and lacking resolution for several loose threads (hopefully to be addressed with future expansions.) Also some of the niggling issues with combat balance leave me a little unsatisfied: the game occasionally (and quite suddenly) rips your face off even at Normal difficulty (let alone harder) while Easy is no challenge at all - there's no happy middle ground (but perhaps I didn't make the best use of potions and bombs, as I left alchemy largely unexplored except for a few key moments during the plot.) It's also incredibly irritating to get stuck in a long-winded attack animation, only to have 3 soldiers gank you from behind with no hope of recovery - what's worse, you may end up trying to light a brazier as often as attacking the nearest enemy, since the key is the same for both actions. Overall, though, the mechanics are good, and with a few suitable mods I can see these moderate issues becoming less signicant, especially in light of the game's core strengths: its storyline, its moral dilemmas, and its breathtaking setting.

For some reason, I can't seem to get it to install. It downloads, heads to verify, then it restarts the DL again!

You downloaded it and hit the very hard to see install button right? It's right in the area you download from in front of your face. I know I missed it like 4 times. hahahahah

Really doesn't answer my question.

HELL YEAH, get it. 9/10 from me. Just don't expect an open world RPG, it's not that kind of game. Though it's an amazing RPG, could be game of the year.

So? Brink has a couple hundred threads and I hear it svcks.

Unless your telling him to look back in the previous threads. In that case just say yes or no, well in both cases just say yes or no.

Newp, thing kept DLing, and DLing, and DLing, in addition to the game not having it.

Can someone help me with the beginning of Chapter 3?

Ah, they are on their temporary back up server which doesn't work for everyone. You're just going to have to wait until they can fix it then, which svcks.

Guess I'll have to wait.

I wouldn't imagine, since you need to be registered and verify the download. So don't bring the topic that way, or the moderators will pew pew you.

changed. Well, there's always next time I play through. Just got to the second chapter, so it'll be a while.

Well, just finished a second play through. Thinking that I'd better uninsall it or something before I'm tempted to play it again.

Now that I've completed both major paths, I have to admit that I am very impressed with the writing. Half the story was good, the whole story is excellent.

I tried to play the first Witcher trough on three separate occasions, but always lost interest around chapter 3. All this positive buzz around this game has me interested though...

Another one for my Steam sale watch list? :hehe:

And it seems i can't now install patches or the EE for my first (pre-EE) witcher due to having Windows 7 x64 :shrug: EE install says "register your game first", but the login function in the launcher doesn't work. In addition the TAGES DRM throws several fits on a 64bit platform :swear:

Folks

I need to ask this again now that most have finished the TW2

Which path did you find more rewarding between siding with Vernon Roche and siding with Iorveth?

Why did you make your choice?

There has to be one preferred over the other. The two paths cannot offer an exactly equal experience

I'd really like to know
