Have not found anyway to disable QTE's, they are part of the game anyway. So how would that work?. xD

In other news, possible patch next week:

QTE are basically for fist fighting minigames. The Prologue uses it smartly. Ca't say about the rest of the game but it is indeed fun and breaks the tension of the very concentration demanding combat. Just focus your view in one point of the screen and the AWSD QTE input flows naturally. Great reflex is not even required.

This is the same guy who wrote the PC Gamer review?

It feels like there should be another chapter, especially since the previous one ends with a character arranging you to meet up later on in a specific town.

And for the record, I'd have been mid-80s on DA2. The Witcher 2 is much better.

It is. It's much better. There are specific reasons why it didn't break 90, but none of them stop it being an excellent game - albeit one with some nasty issues.

Is anyone else hating the combat at the beginning of the game?


I was a bit surprised/overwhelmed at the challenge of even Normal difficulty setting, but my feeling toward it is changing quickly as I get the hang of it. Standard advice applied in my case...get used to dodging a lot, and using Quen often. The learning curve is steep and it doesn't hold your hand. I resorted to reading through all the tutorial entries in my journal, because the tooltips are way too brief in both description and duration on the screen to be useful. "When all else fails, read the manual." :D

Also, it helps to make sure you're using the appropriate sword. I still sometimes forget, and wonder why I'm barely doing damage to my target. <_<

I already said upthread that I hated it.  It's awkward and the controls seem unresponsive.  Nothing is explained.  The UI is ugly and unintuitive.  Geralt dies every time someone looks at him sideways.

Never thought I'd be nostalgic for TW1 combat.


Beating the kayran on EASY took me hours. I was THIS close to pressing "Uninstall". But I finally managed it. Still, some of those fights are way too hard IMO. All it takes is to be surrounded by a few drowners:crying:. I DO miss the Group Style from TW1.


I personally like the new combat system much better than TW1's "click for victory!" This one actually manages to be real-time CQC combat with some strategy involved. More developers should make their gmaes bigger, better and more challenging. Beating the Kayran left me so satisified after finding . I atually had to try different signs. Until I finally found that Quen, and rolling until I an climb to the top of the ledge above the monster's head. DA2 was the exact opposite. It holds your hand throughout the game.

Let me give you a hint. TW2 use action game combat style, as in you better learn to avoid stuff if you want to live and not enter combat head on.

Any news on the missing two patches? (Retail & GOG version still are at 1.0.641 while the Russian & Steam version are at  1.0.650.

Alright, I have an urgent request:

I need to find a Gadwall potion or the recipe for it in Act II. Only....I've been searching for 2 hours now and cannot find it. I need it for the Main Quest, so I can't just give up and move on. ANY pointers? Please?:crying::crying:

It's excellent. Neither DAO nor DAII got me THIS fired up, I have to admit. (DAO still has Loghain and DAII still has my most personal gaming experience though, heh!) It's, IMO, what a sequel should be. And while I personally love DAII, it lacked this je ne sais quoi touch of GENIUS that TW2 has IMHO. (I heard some grumblings about Act III, but I haven't gotten there yet)

Yeah, I died a few times trying to figure it out, this game punishes you when you make mistakes. I love it.

@pepsi
Not sure, check the game guide that comes with TW2? I haven't reached that part yet. I'm still on the magic hunt quest.


--**MAYBE A SPOILER!**--






Yrden sign on the ground by the 'glowy' parts of the tentacle. First started placing them near the normal ones, then I learned. You make some since epic armour out of that beast! And a trophy for +3ac and +50 vitality. >.<

It was my impression we could disable the qte's in the cut scenes. 

Edit: ok Ringo.

Combat seems to be a love or hate affair with the fans. I personally like it, as long as I got the frame rate where it should be. Its so much more realistic and engaging, and yes its a lot harder. I have no problem with that.

There is something really REWARDING in crafting such kickass armor after such an epic fight. Really feeling like I EARNED it, not just getting it because I have the cash. :wub:

Oh gawd yes! I'm just waiting for CDP Red to release a patch that fixes the quick-save stacking instead of overwrititng.

I posted them way back on page 123, here they are;

Epic
+10 AC
+50 Vitality
Reduction of damage from magic +3
Resistance to incinaration +30%
Resistance to bleeding +30%
Resistance to poisoning +30%
3 enchantment slots

Also, equip the Kayran trophy. So far best one.

Epic
+3 AC
+50 vitality

Interesing that "fixes" is your verb of choice, in that you must believe the behavior of the game in regards to quicksaves is broken. It worked the same way in the first game, and was never changed despite the continuous improvements made by CDP including going so far as to redo the animations and alternate localization translations and voiceovers, of which English was one. I am not saying your opinion is wrong or you're a bad person for not appreciating your Windows user directory filling up with quicksaves, but I think you may be waiting a long time for CDP to "fix" this, as they probably believe it's working as intended.

Speaking of QTE's, how the heck does the arm wresting thing work? I have a quest to beat 4 people I think in Flotsem? Have no idea what to do. I actually think I may pick up the strategy guide on my way home from work today. Still not to sure I know what things mean, and what I'm doing, but even still I'm having a ton of fun so that's a good thing.
