Is the redhaired woman shown in the TW2 promotions Triss?

[AllThatJazz]

I thought so, mostly based on the fact that she appeared to start doing sorcery of some kind when the dwarf pissed her off. Red-haired magic user and friend of Geralt? Fingers crossed for a Triss who - er - won't catch a nasty chest cold.

Yup, thats her. One of my favorite video game dames. 

I just know she still has something up her sleeve.   We didn't get the full story on her in TW1.

It´s likely they are following from the books. After almost every important sorcerer in the north was a Xanatos Sucker for the big bad, they lost a lot of political power. I think Triss was Foltest´s advisor back then, a position she can get back at the end of TW1. And then there´s the kind of open resolution to the main plot in the saga. Sitting around is not a valid long term option as you could see in Jacques´mindscape. That´s the actual future of the world so far.

Yes this is Triss... Dwarf is Zoltan

I just started Chapter IV (whoa, sparkly sea castle... WTH?! but I like it), so trying not to read too many spoilers, but I was quite surprised at the turn of events when you have to choose between the women. Interesting to see the consequences of that down the road.

The main voice actor does a super job on Geralt. He's got that deadpan sarcasm down pat.

To an NPC who just lost someone he loved: "Don't do anything stupid."  Ah Geralt, such a softie. LOL

I <3 his so cynical "Riiiiiight" when he disapproves of something or knows he's being lied to...

His amulet is also tuned as a bull**** meter.  LOL

I also love how he acts with kids.  You know he's basically a good guy and protects the weak, but to that kid in the swamps who preaches at you:  "Buzz off."  "Do you want a beating?"  Oh god, that killed me.

I keep hearing it's really good in Polish.  It's too bad we only get the translated version, translations are never as good.  There are times when I hear things I figure have got to be poetic or make more sense in the original.

I am guessing Dandelion the poet sucks just as badly in Polish as in English though, right? 

[Damariel]

well Dandelion (Jaskier) in Polish have some good staff but nothing "superb"... in fact I don't play English version soo I couldn't say he's better here or there....

But I can say that Polish localisation is very good... better that other Polish games even.

Some Polish dev's don't even try do Polish version... like People Can Fly games ( Painkiller ,Bulletstorm ) or Reality Pump with they're Two World's ... English voices, Polish subtitles ehhh ...

You can download the audios and subtitles for any of the localizations free. Was part of the EE. Don´t know if you can continue or have to restart the game. I play in Polish with English subtitles (2nd version), way better than the Spanish ones.

Joining into the fray, I liked the Witcher game. Mainly because its atmosphere and grey choices that appealed most. I didn't like the combat at first, but after churning a few hours, i started getting used to it and liked it a little. Although the english dubs were quite corny, I liked the dialogue (when I got the EE version, I just put Polish language with english subs).

Although there was a lot to improve on, I hope they do address it in TW2. It looks really amazing from the previews so far.

Was browsing dA and thought I'd add some fanart for atmosphere.

Anybody mention the great folk music yet? Yes, it was, ummmm, great...

I'll have to replay the game to generate some end-game saves (lost them all in a computer crash). Apparently the Order ending, Scoia'tael ending & neutral ending will each lead to a different beginning of TW2.

I hated the Order though, but Siegfried was a pretty fun character. Pretty much like Alistair, just a lot more uglier and even more awkward. It was hard getting through with it til the end since I liked the non-humans in the Witcher world. They're not pathetic whiners that sit around doing nothing, but actually fight back.

Couldn't say no to the sexy dark-haired elf guy.  That was pretty much a given.  Go Scoia'tel!  Burn!  Pillage!

No matter what, I recommend English speakers to at least play with the Polish voice overs. They aren't quite up there with Bioware's voice acting but they are quite good and much better than the English version. The Polish voice actor for Geralt is perfect.

Ee, sexy.  I like the English guy's voice, too.  Hmm.

I liked him after his motive rant. Then I re-read the fourth book and he was there, I´d forgotten. The ******* killed humans for pleasure. I really missed the option to shout at him that it´s not human´s fault elf males are much worse in bed (second reason of elf low fertility in the books - I´m seriuos) after he wanted to kill Ciri.

The Witcher is an awesome game! And to think it's made with NWN2 engine! Lots have been said about the atmosphere, story and maturiness (?) of it but the combat also makes it an awesome game!

Really, the combat is awesome. It may take some getting used to it but once you master it, particularly in Expert difficulty where there's just a very subtle tip about the proper timing for subsequent attacks to form a long unstoppable combo, the moves are amazing. Knowing what to use against which type of enemies, mastering the alchemy system and the secondary properties in potions that are a must to kick-azz throught Expert diff, the magic system which is cool too, for those who like it and may want to make that the primary weapon.

TW can really be a lot more familiar to BW fans and more enjoyable too, if on the first playthrough it is done with the Isometric Camera (F2/F3). The OTS camera was something that made me hate the game on the first five minutes. After 2 full runs though (Intermidiate and then Expert, both with Iso cam), the OTS camera became very easy to adapt and control and combat was no longer an issue. It becomes very instinctive, the timing thing, just like using the hotkeys to change styles/weapons according to what is best for the situation.

And because I enjoy it, it does not mean I cannot equally enjoy different combat system from different games, like BG/NWN or the Gothic/Risen series (one of the best CS, imho). I just love them all. They're all great games and I feel lucky because I'm not stuck in a tunnel vision that will not let me savour their greatness which also resides in their differences!

Three must-have games for next year: The Witcher 2, Dragon Age 2 and Risen 2 (no release date announced but I'd expect it for late next year, early 2012, if we make it that far.. hehehe)

[Crippledcarny]

I'd say OTS is better than ISO for this game. It take a little time to get used to but I think it's more effective.
