I don't like when Iorveth yells... It just seems too...I don't know loud. Like he shouldn't be yelling that loud to get across his point. Especially at the start of Act 1.

Letho has a funny accent. The way he says Pontar Valley has a strange sound to it. I usually go through his entire dialogue tree at the end of the game just to hear how he pronounces stuff.

My favorite VA would probably have to be Roche.

He makes you feel like you did something bad and are about to be punished for it?

Imagine if the DA fade was done this way.. and The Visitor has one of the best Voices I;ve heard for a bad guy yet,

[Well]

Question: why do both Geralt and Triss have American accents?

Geralt's supposed to have a Rivian accent, and Rivia is to the south. I think. No idea bout Triss. Never read the books.

How well does TW2 run for people compared to, say, DA2. I cannot for the life of me get a decent framerate on TW2 if I go above 'low' for the Red engine, but DA2 I can run at high with the texture pack as long as I keep AA and anti-aliasign at 2x. What's going on?

My specs are:

Intel Core 2 CPU, 6420 @ 2.13 GHz, clock speed @ 2127 MHz., 2.99 GB of physical memory
Gefore 8800 GTX @ 768, 270.61
Vista SP2 (Home)
DX 10

Well you have a game that was made for 5-6 year old consoles and game made for a modern PC, so thats whats happening. Yea you need a better card, they are not that expensive(though thats relative for everyone). You can get a HD 4850 that should run it on high for 97-130 bucks. Your cpu is a tad slow also if thats a duo core, but the card would be a priority.

NO for HD4850.. I have it and the game was crawling lol.. With low settings is plays abit smooth but it hurt my eyes lol.. Get GTX560Ti for the win

[gotthammer]

Hehehe, at least he has a dual core CPU. I'm still using a Pentium 4 3GHz. (and a 430 GT 2GB GPU...my 8800 GT 512MB died recently)
So, yeah, my frame rates are horrible...but the game is still pretty, even w/ almost every setting on low (I kept DoF stuff enabled, just so the background stuff is ok to look at lol).

I was planning on getting a GTX 560 Ti, but I was planning to get it along w/ a new rig (when I've saved up enough cash. I have over 1k USD, but my estimates for the rig I want is closer to 2k USD lol).
I wonder if I should get the GTX 560 Ti now...
hehehe

I'm surprised as its a recommended spec card for this game, not minimal and a good workhorse. For the heck of it I tried to run it on my old system with a 4670 and it ran on low-mid with bearable frame rates, so maybe your system is a bit jacked? Or is that a 512 meg version?

Heres a vid with a 4850 at ultra high settings

CD Projekt has promised a reward for the first person who finishes an Insanity run of TW2: a free collector's edition of Dragon Age 2.

[Khayness]

There is no Collector's Edition.

[Core 2 indicates that it's a 64 bit processor that could well be single core. That particular model is dual core though but you'd have to look it up in Intel's processor database]

I suspect that TW2 graphics look a lot better than they actually are (e.g. hand animations and water aren't terribly good but quite well hidden). Interestingly though TW2 runs perfectly fine with my GTS240 on high (sluggish, but playable, on ultra) whilst DA2 is only playable with minimal graphics settings. If I had to make a guess I'd say that TW2 uses resources more efficiently than DA2 (e.g. 4/8 logical cores busy).

So it's more CPU, than GPU, intensive?
My PC runs DA2 on 'high' (mostly, I even have the high res textures), and while I do get frame rate drops/stuttering, it's not as bad as what I get for TW2 (which is all on low/disabled, except for dangling objects limit and the DoF options. I do have texture memory on Large...which I should do, since my GPU has 2GB of memory, right?).

My specs:
CPU: P4 3GHz
RAM: 2GB DDR2
GPU: Inno3D 430 GT 2GB
OS: WinXP SP2

[AlexMBrennan]

I doubt that - however, CPU usage is included in the performance monitor whilst GPU activity isn't.
In my experience a high-end processor can't make up for missing graphics card features (my experience here is limited to running compiz without GPU 3D acceleration).

CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
GPU: Nvidia Geforce 220 GT
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

@gotthammer: This are my specs (mediocre now in this era) and yours seem to be superior to mine on everything except CPU. TW2 runs at an average of like 30 FPS or below (tolerable) with bloom enabled. Also we have the same amount of RAM but i use Windows 7 which is more resource extensive. In my understanding, the game becomes more intensive on the CPU on large areas (more NPC's, more environments to load, etc.) and intensive on the GPU on particle effects, lighting and textures and maybe physics ( i'm not sure whether it's CPU/GPU reliant though).

[gotthammer]

Hmm. Ok. I have been told, tho', that my current GPU is 'crap' (that the 8800 GT 512MB that died, which the 430 GT 2GB replaced, is the better card of the two).

Maybe something else is wrong...hehehe
(if it's not the CPU/GPU, could it be install location? I dumped TW2 into my relatively new 1TB HDD. Most of my other games are elsewhere...)

[ScepticMatt]

You could overclock to test where you are limited. I needed a 30% GPU OC to even run it @1024. 
A faster HDD/SSD mostly influences loading/buffer times. You will see less 'fade to black' or texture pop when you enter a building, for example.

You could test the effect of slow IO by replaying a given scene - first time would be read from slow storage, 2nd time from cache. If they're clever they'd read adjacent cells (or whatever) whilst IO is idle so you might not see a huge improvement in loading times)

[ScepticMatt]

With my 5400rpm HDD I also get a ~3 sec loading screen if I cross a too large area too fast. I'm not sure how clever streaming could alleviate that.

[AlexMBrennan]

They could theoretically pre-load all areas accessible from your current location - I can read 100 MB/s; TW2 files are about 14 GB so it would be possible to read up to half of them (e.g. the current act) into memory in about a minute (while the movies are playing); the occupied application memory could then be freed again - the files would remain in the OS cache.
This is, in fact, the reason why I have 8GB memory and why it's an absolute shame that Windows still doesn't do RAM disk.

I posted that earlier.. I wondered is it a joke? Now why would Poland's PM handed Obama The Witcher 2 CE as a gift?

The Witcher saga, both books and games are real highlights for Poland, keep in mind the country is still young. It's not surprising, though I wonder what kind of media the US is going ot do if Obama endorses the game. Another Fox news fiasco just like Mass Effect?

...about, like, 1000 years :]
So, yeah, young

Sorry, for a little necro-posting

P.S. or did you have in mind the U.S.?
