TW2 isn't multi-platform. Consoles rule the day.

Been away for quite some time (orly?) and haven't really kept track of the thread...I remember reading something about Witcher 3 and/or a possible expansion for Witcher 2. Any update on this info or was it just rumor talk?

Just finished my 4th playthrough...on Roche's side (3rd time is the charm) I played on Iorveth's side up till act 3 but...I...just...couldn't...do...it. Seems I have an unhealthy fixation.

Also is it just me or is the game a million times easier now than what it was during the release? Finished the game on Hard this time around and it was more or less a walk in the park...on my 1st and maybe even on 2nd playthrough I sometimes struggled on normal difficulty.

that's because the game is no longer filled with Cheap enemy tactics.

i remember the first time i played, i got knocked out multiple times in sequence.
that's fixed now, for example.

but of course the v2.0 update fixes a ****load of stuff.

Yeah, since downloading it and playing a bit, I noticed that enemies weren't blocking my every move.

Ooh, messing around with my settings, i realized i didn't need such a huge draw distance.  And the Motion Blur was actually too much, with how fast the camera moves, I can't see anything or tell when I want to stop circling the camera around.  Hell, objects are already blurred when I move the camer without it.

IDD, the Kaedweni general in the mist kept doing that ALL the time. Was frustrating as hell. Now I can pretty much dodge behind every enemy's backside and start whacking.

Loading times seem horribly long now...not that they were very short for me to begin with but now it sometimes seems to take ages to load a save game. Might be my computer though....given that ever since Steam decided to do something to my DirectX it now shows as 8.0 (LOL) and bunch of other crap.

Loading times are a bit longer, but I don't think they're too bad, not for me anyway. As far as difficulty, I'm struggling mightily in Arena mode. AI is smarter and they block more. I'm still trying to do things mostly Quen free, and in this makers things much harder. I die time and again against the mage and two assassins. Once you get past them, Geralt gets noticeably stronger and difficulty eases up. Once I can drop a couple points into Aard and magic tree, I can start playing like I want.

I'm playing on dark mode in the main game and I think it's the hardest difficulty, but as always buffing up with the right potions makes a huge difference.

As far as new content, there will be more added to the game when the console version drops. And it's pretty much a given there will be a third installment.

Really?
i didn't noticed it.

Perhaps it depends on the PC?

[RPGamer13]

Probably, my game still takes about the same amount of time to load, but then it continues loading even after you see Geralt and can move. So, if I try to move everything is choppy for about another minute and then, smooth sailing from there.

Running around with a large arsenal of weapons and causing mayham is more popular than a deep storyline.

Havent noticed any change in my loading times, 2-3 seconds max as usual. Just finished my second playthrough on Dark Mode so thats now 8 playthroughs in total. This time i tried to play according to my own moral compass.

I ended up siding with Geralt's companions this time around (sorry Roche) as i felt the choice was more Roche v Friends than Roche v Iorveth. So i ended up having to free a terrorist from captivity just so i could save the rest of the non-humans. I fully intended to honor my promise to Roche of tracking down Letho as i did indeed feel that i owed him. I forgot in my hastiness that by saving Saskia using the dagger from Philippa that Letho goes and saves Triss...aaaarghh so i had to let him live again as once more he goes above and beyond for Geralt.

I dont think i will ever get a playthrough that i can be truly satisifed with but i keep on trying...damn you CDPR.

Try clearing your save game folder a bit, game even takes longer to start when you saved 150+ times.

Can't wait for this to be out on 360. Then I can finally get into The Witcher franchise(as I imagine there will be more games coming out in the future).

[Adugan]

This game is ****ing amazing. Better than the Dragon Age series, I am surprised to say.

[slimgrin]

Someone from TW2 site put those together. Thought they were pretty funny.

[RPGamer13]

That scene in the first one was funny. ^^

I skipped most of the cutscenes, but does the game get more interesting after the prison break out?

The dragon stuff was awesome, but it seemed like after that, things started to slow down or took a halt.

Skipping scenes in TW2 = losing majority of the juicy juice.

Yes. Things are slow for a reason: it's an introduction. I found there to be more than enough action on Roche's side. Iorveth's side does seem a bit more low paced...then again I'm biased so *shrug*

Well that would leave you confused. The prologue is just that though a prologue so it's a bit linear but after you get to Flotsam the game really opens up. Have you finished the game? If not give it another go it's the dark fantasy game I been waiting for.

You don't need to play the first one to understand everything but you should so play it. It's on sale frequently enough and it's cheap now at gog.com.

Thanks for the replies.

Ringo, I was just wondering for future reference. I didn't stop playing because I was bored. I stopped because I want something to do when I don't have access to my consoles. I will have almost a year where that will be the case.

I also skipped the scenes because I wanted to test my laptop's performance and check some things out with the leveling and conversations for intimidation and whatnot.

Playing this again while I wait for Skyrim.

Roche is such a badass mother****er.

Only Roche can fall off a bridge by mistake and still look like a badass.

He's got good recovery time.

I guess most games grt to a point when you get "accidentally" separated from friendly NPC. But this is the best I have yet to see

I'm not sure us common folk will understand all that is discussed. But if they announce a new IP, particularly one in the Sci-Fi Genre, one might have to change one's shorts.
