I feel the same way. Been playing some Adventures made by the Witcher community really great stuff.

And question how do you change your avatar to Triss?

[PlumPaul93]

so would anyone recommend the witcher 1 or 2? I've never heard of them until recently. Is there an import system from 1 to 2 or can I just start from 2? Also any idea where I could find the witcher 1? I'm sure it's on ebay but would it be at any stores?

yes , witcher 1 is one of the best rpg i have ever play and play more than 250.

yes , there is an import system for the save between the 1 and 2 but you could play the 2 without playing the 1

people who want to buy the 1 wait until 10 may you will find it on gog +artbook free and more for 5 $

Oh man Paul it's a fantastic game only thing is though combat kinda well...sucks. There is a mod called Full Combat Rebalance that makes it a lot better and much much harder. Though probably not a thing you should try on your first playthrough.

Witcher 1 unlike Dragon Age is a dark fantasy type of game. It's a lot more mature. You hardly if ever find any black and white decisions everything is more a shade of grey. Consequences of your decisions never happen immediately which adds to the replay valuve. Usually you have to wait and see how your decision has played out.

Buy it from Gog or Steam. It's kind of a pain to get the updates so if you want to pay $10 more get it from Steam.

There is an import system for Witcher 2 but it's been confirmed that you can choose some options from the beginning for Witcher 2 if your not importing a save.

Best line from that article is this

"What stands out most about The Witcher 2 is – and believe me, it’s a rare big budget game that gives off this vibe – is that it feels like the game CD Projekt wanted to make, with neither apology nor compromise getting in the way of its vision."

That is like music to my ears.

Also Paul

"Witcher 2 doesn’t do a great job of establishing the story so far, but it doesn’t take long for things to be explained."

Very cool I don't have a steam but I'll just buy it from there if I feel like getting it. Is the enhanced edition like DLC or something? Also basically what are the computer requirements for 1 or 2? I got a PC about april 2009 and I think I got 3 GB Ram with about 200 GB's that are free. Is that good enough to generally play lag free? (not good with computers so not sure if right).

[Chromie]

Ehanced Edition is an updated Witcher game. IF you owned the original you were able to download patch 1.4 to get all of the conten, fixes and updates for free and not buy it.

And as for your performance. We'd need to know your

RAM
CPU
GPU

those are the important things. But also Witcher 1 runs badly regaurdless because of the engine I believe. My computer can't even run 30 fps in Act III so yea think about it before buying it. Witcher 2 is supposed to be really well optimized we are led to believe though.

[PlumPaul93]

well all I can find is the 3 GB ram can you help me find out where I can find the information for the others? Also I don't care for much lag but if I'm going slow mo it would suck.

Download this PC Wizard open it and it will scan your system tell us the
videocard, processor and well you said 3 gigs of ram already.

Modifié par Ringo12, 21 avril 2011 - 04:01 .

[PlumPaul93]

Well this is what I could find:
Ram:3 GB
Processor:AMD Athlon™ Dual Core Processor 4050e 2.10 GHz
Video Card:I think NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

Hope that's everything

[Chromie]

From my limited knowledge you probably shouldn't bother playing Witcher 2 >.>

Unless if you can afford to upgrade. NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 isn't very good and your proccessor is kind of old but would probably be minimum needed.

These are the requirements.

Minimum specs

[*]Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or AMD equivalent
[*]Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 8800, 512 MB memory or ATI equivalent
[*]Memory: 1 GB for Windows XP / 2 GB for Windows Vista and Windows 7
[*]Hard Disk: 8 GB for the game installation and 8 GB for bonus materials [/list]
Recommended specs

[*]Processor: Intel Quad Core or AMD equivalent
[*]Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 260, 1 GB memory / Radeon HD 4850 with 1 GB memory
[*]Memory: 3 GB for Windows XP / 4 GB for Windows Vista and Windows 7
[*]Hard Disk: At least 16 GB of free space [/list]

Ooh well that sucks I guess. Do I have good enough equipment to play witcher 1 pretty good though? I'll probably do that and if I like it I'll probably upgrade my video card to play the witcher 2 or other games. I doubt I could upgrade my processor unless it's much easier than I think it is.

Thing is NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 it's not an actual video card it's a intergrated video card. So probably not thouugh there are a lot of youtube videos of people playing games with it.

I think for Witcher 1 9800GT was enough for it.


That guy doesn't know how to say Geralt!

Hmm im alittle worried on the combat.. Read the preview from http://www.pcgamer.c...cher-2-preview/

A swing takes 2 seconds and there's no way to cancel it and masses of creatures swarms to you.

Is it 17th yet?No?*cry*

"The Witcher 2. Coming soon to a Fox News near you." sigh.

Funny how magazines like pcgamer,escapist etc. that gave DA2 extremely high scores(94&100 respectively)are now ripping on it every chance they get.

Yes you should be able to play witcher 1 no problem.Maybe not on highest settings ,but probablyy on low/medium.

Also as for recommending it ...Well it has its ups and downs like any other game:

-Not so good english voice acting
-Non-combat animations a little clumbsy sometimes
-Combat a little too simplistic for most people taste

+Great atmosphere
+Good music (subjective ofc,but I havent heard anyone complain about it)
+Good story
+Very cool story branches on modern games standards
+Generally no black&white (ie good vs evil)
+Combat animations (again subjective,but I liked.slightly over the top without being ridiculous)

Probably some more,but those are from top of my head,but if you dont mind playing defined character like Shepard then I would definetely recommend it.

It's a different person who wrote that article. Read the comments. The writer says "it's shocking but people can have different opinions even though from the same site"

Oh man from the ign preview you see Zoltan engangements gets cancelled!

I would suggest you watch the combat video from CDPR spring conference(combat start around 16:00 ).Imo it looked like you need to make a mistake for it to get in the way in any way(like allow yourself to be surrounded by enemies),but better you judge for yourself.

Also they do say don't be afraid to leave, level up and come back. Enemies can be high levels then your Geralt is at the time.

No level scaling in Witcher 2.

voice acting doesn't bother me much. Also are you saying there isn't a character creation? If there isn't that would suck.

[Chromie]

100% sure. The game is based off a book series and Geralt is the protaginist in the series. You can enable different voice overs from different language. Such as Polish voice overs and english subtitles.
