DA:O, The Witcher, the Gothics,Kotor (unless you screw up big time choosing powers), JE, NWN, Drakensang,ME1&2... all of these had final bosses I found really easy to kill. Some of them in the first try. Middle/early bosses are usually much more difficult, and that is quite jarring. The Harvester from the GoA DLC is almost refreshing frustrating as it is: a final boss worthy of the name. Better not to think is way stronger than an Archdemon, a Broodmother, and the person who killed them though.

Well, it is broken, but IMHO not because it is too hard. It is broken because Aard + 1 strong style hit (i.e. the actual finishing move) is all you need to defeat The Beast, a BOSS. I'm not joking.

I certainly struggled with that boss for a while, don't get me wrong. The above "tactic" aside, I agree the difficulty is not very balanced. DAO I always found harder in the beginning, then towards the end you can have such a strong party that you hardly have to try. Hopefully both TW2 and DA2 will be balanced well.

I thought that was a really cool element of the game - the fact that boss characters (unless the cutscene needed them partially alive) - did not operate under different rules than mooks.

Hey, when quoting someone and editing it to lose the crazy hipnotic squares (talk about a crazy website quote system), please pay attention to avoid such mistakes.

Here's the original post you tried to quote. I said the same thing as you did only that it's not broken. It's very hard to get a knockdown with aard on the hellhound, unless you're playing in Novice mode.

I think the difficulty in DA was done better. I found it to be a much harder game. Even on average settings it was challenging, for me anyway.

Edit: Cant believe he has the whole game on there. TW is a monster sized game. 

hmm.. the Hellhound is not that hard. Sometimes it requires a few reloads but in Hard I can manage it pretty decently. Of course, you must take into consideration that it is a Monster and Geralt does not have his Silver Sword for monsters at that time. But the Steel Sword with oil plus some mutagens can end that fight really quick. Blizzard with Rubedo properties are very good at that point.

And if you get lucky to get a knockdown from Aard, it's a insta kill! =)

Didn't much appreciate the dialogue in TW. Apart from the choices, you really had no way to establish a personality. It was mainly used for information gathering.. Reminded me of The Elder scrolls.

Well thats cause the personality was already made for the character!

The witcher isnt like DA:O, its more like what DA2 will be, your playing their character, not your own.

In KotOR and Jade Empire and ME1 and DA:O you gave the character your own touches and personality. Be it through leveling up or interaction, or both

The Witcher allows you to build Geralt your own way but his personality is firmly set in stone really (you do get to choose neutral, knights, elves path ways though in game.

In ME2 and from sounds of things DA2, you also playing Biowares character and you mostly along for the ride! There is no character building.

Im actually ok with The Witcher doing this route because they did it from word go. They didnt come out with these be all and end all RPG games first to attract you and then change to a completely opposite system for the second game like ME2 did and sounds like DA2 is doing.

But I think franchises should be consistant. You draw fans in with one style, you keep that style. Upgrade for sure, but you keep the style.

TW2 is keeping the style and standards they set up in fiorst game, Cant say the same for ME2 or DA2, ME2 was a completely new game, new style, new system and sounds like DA2 will be as well!

I mean McDonalds makes the big Mac, they dont just decide a year from now to use Chicken rather then beef in the Big Mac, now do they?

I loved the melee fights in Witcher, the combo moves were very satisfying, especially the group style combo 4 where he uses 2 swords and everyone loses his head ^^.

There's dual wielding in TW?

LOL I was wondering this as well

Dont get me wrong, I WISH I could dual weild and that would be my number 1 suggestion to CD Projekt for TW2 (If I had been around at the start of project).

Not sure what Yoj talking about!

I know the combo hes talking about but thats strong style with Aard stun

And the fact that you cannot read one line of what I write and understand it, says something about you. Indeed, any idiot can have something at blogspot. Nobody, including me, ever said that you had to be a journalist to post there. Where the heck did you read me saying that?

From this:

Ok, instead of elaborating your reasons, you link two your blogs reviews, shallow as they may be, hosted by blogspot.com. I don't know about you but I have many friends who do have blogs at blogspot.com and all of them are Journalists, writters by profession and on the vast range of subjects they deal with, usually they deal with what they know, by experience, by study, by research, by whatever means they can access to learn about what they are talking about.

I just assumed you were trying to make a point rather than posting irrelevant nonsense. My bad.

And I still have no idea what you were trying to say with "And yes, they are "reviews" since they do not match the other description of your blog ." How does that make them reviews?

There is a group (group style) combo (i think t's number 4 or 5) where Geralt equips his second sword to do a nice whirlwind to cut heads.

 nope, thats fast silver and its only 1 sword but it does spin and look like 2 swords.
its #5 style and a real B**** to pull off sometimes lol!

I was thinking aard+strong steel combo where you stun, walk behind and decapitate opponent

Thats not correct, both swords can be held with 1 hand they are after all longswords and not flamberge/twohander/Claymores. Those swords where also used in combination with shields. Hmm maybe i try to get a screenshot ;p.

I think you are misunderstanding me, i never said he uses a shield. Just that Longswords where used in combination with shields, also the silver one is more like a short sword and if you look at the starting stance in silver you would see he only uses 1 hand for it .

Slim, you ever seen two swords drawn at once?

Sorry Yoj but either you photo shopped that picture or you got a real funky version of game cause im telling you (and others will back me up) there is no dual weild in game!

LOL, not trying to be difficult but this is something im 150% sure on!

heck ill even go ask on witcher site to be sure and post your screen shot

Well, the Witcher is not for everybody, thats for sure, and thats not a crime. Im a firm believer that gamers should stick to what they like. Were not in the Chantry here, seeking to convert the heathen...

But going back to Amstrad's posts, it never ceases to amaze me the fact of how different people are affected so differently by the same work of art, movie, book or in this case, "artsy" videogame. The same scene that Amstrad describes as something that put him off so much, was the scene that won me over and made me fell in love with the character.

SPOILERS AHEAD
Geralt is facing a hostile crowd, and he gives a speech about the human condition (the most emotive speech I heard in an RPG) and the girl hes defending just looks at him all thankful and gleamy eyes... I remember I had teary eyes myself at that point... Then he dismisses the crowd WITHOUT resorting to use his sword. The scene is so powerful that Im sure many gamers should've felt smthg similar, as this video of the "legendary Toegoff" proves

http://www.youtube.c.../33/eS22Md49fNI
DONT CLICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET REALLY SPOILED

How do you get such an outcome where Geralt doesn´t have to use his sword? I always have to kill all those idiots who want to burn Abigail. (Mind you, I do gladly because that bunch of murderers and rapists had it coming all the time, but still I wonder).

For me, the biggest flaws of the TW are:

-Technical issues, which include occasional slowdown during fights, and some crashing.

I find it amazing that you say this about Witcher. I had such problems with DAO, but never with Witcher (I only played Extended Edition though).

There is no dual wielding as a style, but if you chain enough attacks successfully in the group style Geralt draws his other sword and fights with both for the final, deadly hits in the chain.




Edit: I have never seen Geralt with both swords out of combat, though, as the screenshot shows.

Actually thats the charged up version of the group style. I don't know if it was in the prior version of Witcher but i use Witcher Enhanced. There you can charge up your styles just like your sings.

Lol @ photoshop, just try it yourself.

[LucifersAngelLHC PS3 Account]

I can say it true.

Loved playing the Witcher and cut tons of heads with the "charging" attack.
Something had to be maxed out, when i remember correctly, so Geralt take his other Sword.

"using steel sword, group style, charging it makes you dual wield" found it via google.
EDIT:


Geralt dual wields during the level 4 group steel special attack (The Executioner).

You
hold down the left mouse button and he un-sheaths his silver sword, and
if you release the LMB when it's fully charged he'll attack do a 4 or 5
hit combo with both swords, although it's still a steel combo.

He
also dual wields with a short weapon during the final, level 5 attack
of group silver. Whatever short weapon you have, he'll incorporate it
into the combo, although I'm unsure weather the weapon's individual
properties have any effect, usually because the 5th combo kills them
outright so it's hard to tell whether the knife causes pain and
poisoning, or whether the axe dislodges the shield.
