So should I help the adviser or assist the elves in rescueing the prisoners from the boat? [act 1]

I'm leaning towards the adviser (the elves should be able to look after themselves) cause gotta get to voltar (sp>) to rescue Triss and clear my name/kill the kingslayer.


Edit: oh and no spoilers cause that's all I'm up to atm


Go with your gut, either way you miss a good part of the game as it sends you to two different places, so a second replay is recommended.

Yeah I thought so would that ruin my graphics card? Or should it still be fine? I have turned the settings down a bit and the game is running perfectly I am affraid though that I may have injured or damaged my graphics card due to this freezing :( will I need to buy a new one or should it still be fine my graphics card is a 6850 radeon and I just purchased it like 2 months ago.


Don't worry. Graphic gards overheating is not so uncommon. It happens every knoww and then when using graphical intense game/programme. If that happened incidentally don't worry.  If that happen very often then it might be faulty card and/or cooling system. Then just giv it back on warranty.

But I believe that not your case. From waht you said it just happened few times? Than relax, tone down graphic a bit, might want eventually remove dust from inside of your computer/ graphic card fan. And enjoy playing.

As for menaging many opponents in Witcher 2. Open your character panel and view what talents/ skill you have. I dont know if you choosen signs, swordmanship or alchemy mostly. But anyway. Recheck what you can do so you can use your skills in combat to full potential.

What else? Before you go into this hard fight with many opponents  , meditate ,use potions & oils. It will help a lot.
At fight itself, like someone else pointed out , opponents with shield move slowest, plate armor bit faster , and opponents having mail fastest. Usually also mail opponent are easiest to kill becasue they have less protection so your hits hurt them more.

Use terrain. If there are archers you can hide behind pillar, wall ,etc from their arrows. Kill ranged opponents fast if that possible.

Use your speed. Run away a bit , more armored opponents should lag behind a bit. So hit faster opponents , then move away again. Try to flank your opponents as well if you hit them from side or behind they wont block, parry and you will kill them easier.

Use signs and bombs.

Those are very general advices but hope it helps. Beating hard moments in game might not be easy and even a bit frustrating at times but it gives satisfaction imo. So good luck and have fun. Of course if you still have problems dont be afraid to tell it. I will try to help in more details if I am online, and I am sure other members will do as well.

So...favorite Skinemax girl?

Triss? Ves? Succubus? Elf?

Ves by far.

Elven women were far more unique-looking and pretty in TW1. They now look like Triss with pointy ears. And the Elven men... like Dandelion with pointy ears (I guess... even more reason to kill each one of them).

Also I beat fable 3 in 5 hours the game just sucks and the combat system is very repetitive just spam your mouse click also they made it 5 hours so they can rob you by releasing more DLC at money cost it was a very big let down they should of stuck with Fable 1 and the lost chapters it was the best game and it is still very fun.

Yeah, no.

The game takes 15 hours at the very least if you do everything (it might even take longer, by looking for all evil gnomes). Combat isn't just button mashing either. Try that against a group of Hobbes or Balverines and you're dead (or rather, knocked out) very fast.

Only thing that sucks is needing tons of money for the "good" ending. It's a lame way to try and prolong the game even more.

If you do melee weapons which I did you iditot it is button mashing this game is just so horrible in so many ways the NPC's all look the same they say the same stupid stuff over and over again you can't choose what emotions to use they are all random you stand right infront of their face and you still can't interact with them you need to be in a perfect positioning this game is so wrong and yes it takes 5 ours and what is stupid is there is no map and all you do is follow bread crumbs on the floor you must be 10 years old if you enjoy this kids game cause seriously this game holds your hand through a pointless storyline with no fun at all if you like this game then you have some serious problems



Edit: This game is so easy to get money I don't know what you are talking about if you buy the blacksmithing upgrades you can make 100 thousand gold in 30 mins not even that by just doing blacksmithing also you easily have enough money to buy all properties and your income is just insane like every 10 mins or so I was getting like 20 grand it was just stupid how easy it is to get money in that game and what the weird thing is there is nothing to spend your money on in this game cause most of the good weapons are found and there are no good stuff to buy in this game and what sucks is armor does nothing in this game but change your looks fable 1 was the only good game the rest are just stupid and careless also I probably used 2 potions in the whole playthrough and all I was doing was mashing my mouse button cause I was just using melee 2 shotting everything with a **** mace I bought I didn't even have any legendary weapons and I was still 2 shotting everything but bosses.

It's okay. There's people out there who thought DA2 was a masterpiece and that Twilight is the greatest book series of the last decade, so you don't have to worry, you're not the only person in the world with bad taste.

I'm new to the forums and i just signed up just to give my thoughts on the game as an avid gamer. (of RPG's especially).

I have been playing RPG's ever since i was a fetus. BG, BG2, ID, PS:Torment, Gothic, Vampire: the Masquerade, Jade Empire, NWN, NWN2, TES:Oblivion, Fallout 3 DA:O, DA2, ME and ME2 are the games that i remembered most. (and yeah, most of them are Bioware. Am i a fanboy? maybe, maybe not. i dont know lol). Heck I also played the the not so purely RPG ones like Diablo, Deus Ex and other similar stuff) Every single one of those games struck me with different tunes, which made me remember each of em according to which 'tune' they played. Not so samw with FPS'es though. (heck the only FPS'es i really loved were Half-life and Portal series; if you even call Portal an FPS)

I don't know if you agree with me, but Bioware has been getting kinda soft. The nonlinearity and unexpectedness I experienced when playing BG never quite felt the same with the following games. DA2 may be the most obvious example although it's still an ok game in my books. Maybe it's just because of corporate greed *cough EA*. Nobody denies that Bioware has good writing. Just as what Yahtzee said, no one will deny that the sky is blue just as that Bioware has good writing; and I play their games because i always expect a good story when it comes with them. Anyway, Bioware needs to toughen it up, and I have high expectations for ME3. (liked ME2 by the way; presentation was awesome) They just should bring neglected RPG elements back to their repertoire. RPG elements that i have come to admire and love when I played the Witcher 2. Oh yeah to be fair ofc not just Bioware. Every other company planning to make RPG's should learn from this game; :)

I have played TW1 and I was intrigued my its setting. Never would you see such an imperfect world full of schemers, and where good vs evil doesn't apply. It is more of lesser evil vs greater evil. And imo TW2 has greatly improved in everything TW1 has achieved so far. I will point some aspects of the game i just had to admire:

1. A very 'alive' RPG world - no other RPG has given me such an impression (even if it's just an illusion) of an 'alive' world. When I first pranced around King Foltest's camp, i just like WTF this is awesome. Massive trebuchets and their crew doing the complete routine of operating the behemoth, soldiers' either doing their business or getting drunk and talking about getting plowed, the camp chef tasting his delicacy (though he doesn't care when i turn off the fire under his cauldron :P). Everything just seems so thorough. This becomes especially evident in Flotsam.

2. The illusion of choice is less prominent here. I wouldn't really say that choices here are 'illusions' at all too. You choose, you don't necessarily win. The paths are really branched out to 180 degrees. There will always be a consequence, and this is one of those games where choosing was ACTUALLY HARD to do based on what i have experienced.

3. The characters were awesome. And i doesn't mean awesome = good/heroic. Example, King Henselt is a d***. But hell yeah was he successful at making me want to shove a pole up his a**. Saskia on the other hand was the bomb. The characters were successful in that they really made me hate em or love em. And of course, they all have their flaws, i mean serious flaws. Vernon Roche was like a friend to me, but ugh he is also an a******. Also, I didn't exactly rooted for Triss in the books, but for some reason I liked her in this game. Maybe because she showed em ******? I don't know >.<'. Which brings me to my fourth point.

4. Blatant mature content. This game is clearly not made for people who cries over broken toenails. The world is grisly and dark. Heck the real world is too.

5. The story in itself. A man supposed only to fight monsters as his profession gets embroiled in politics. Yeah, politics. The very thing that destroys man; the very thing that delves deep into man's dark desires. The very foundation of corruption, deceit, murder and ambition. This is especially true in Geralt's world, and just as when we thought he would be free from it's hold, things just have to get f*cked up. So yeah politics just wouldn't let him go. There is also the issue of the Wild Hunt, who are those riders and what do they want with our protagonist?

Just to finish things up, this will be one of those games that I will never forget, and I really felt the work and effort CDP has put to this game. This title certainly lifts them closer to companies such as Bioware and Bethesda.

Seeing the V:TM thread Thanatos created and all the praise there from the BioWare fanboys, it's safe to say that V:TM is a great game because it wasn't considered as a competitor to any BW games.

Possible competition = ****ing disaster of a game

Though I am enjoying the nerdrage, because I walk the Neutral Path of an RPG fan.

:lol:

Either someone didn't play the game, or your exaggerating to make the game seem worse than it is. 

The main story takes longer than five hours, even ignoring all the sidequests. It takes even longer if you are going for the perfect ending, as no job will give you the money you need within five hours. (Unless you were doing five hours of straight grinding, in which case you don't have the money and you didn't do the main quest :whistle:)

If you are button mashing, then that is the style you chose. Button mashing adds slight penalties to you in the way of influencing weapon morphs (which they shouldn't have made it in set tiers but I digress). You are supposed to play in a rythm, and fight using a pattern instead of mashing like you would in a beat-em-ip.

I won't contest the fact that the game is easy, if you though it wasn't going to be you never played a fable game (or even a bullfrog/lionhead game) before. I'm sorry you didn't like the experience, but judging from your posts you are not the target audience to begin with, which is not kids as you seem to think.)

TW 2 is the only RPG ever that frustrated me so much I havent finished it once. I am very very dissapointed, especially cause I did like TW 1.

I might give it another go soon... When the thought of playing it no longer makes me wanna kill puppies.

Makes me wonder.. how many runs did you try and did not finish once? Zero? blergh!

Someone who did finish the game more than zero: How do we use Whirlwind? F key right? (special action) but when? When my adrenaline bar is full, F does nothing. only my key assined to finishing when Adrenaline is full works. Tips?
