How about you use a stronger argument then a movie Rage. Ves isn't a girl blackmailed by a guy who knows some dirty secret on her, nor is she an innocent person who gets violated by a thug. She is a spy on death row about to be executed for her crimes and is offered lenience in exchange for screwing Henselt. If you can't see the difference between the two I don't have anything else to say.

The law on coersion was made so that bosses couldn't abuse their employes in that fashion that you are talking about, or for people in general to not get away with blackmail.

If you want to say Henselt is an ass for what he does, then sure fine by me and I agree with you. I even consider him an idiot for doing it, and a ****** for sparing her.

Ok, lets not argue about it anymore. But just to make it clear, the bold part I marked, she is no spy. She is an elite soldier in an elite force of an allied kingdom and like her squad mates, she had nothing to do with the conspiracy that Foltest and Roche had been flaming and financing, IIRC, and for what end, I do not know exactly since they were allied Kingdoms. Executing the Blue Stripes would be an act of war in my book.

She is no doubt a spy in Henselt's eyes. Roche's wrath and indignation to Henselt's solution is a little surprising actually, but still typical of his personality. What would you expect a king to do with conspiracy all around him?

This is Henselt's pattern, though. Like I said- the happy hangman. And he seems to take real pleasure in it.

He has better moments, I don't think he's "evil" but for me he and Loredo are as close to it as the game gets and I don't think it's a coincidence that his court mage is also presented as a real creep.

Yay, I'm in Vizima now. Funny how much I missed that moldy heap of stone. Much as I like 2, TW1 is my favorite game of the two and especially for atmosphere.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but Sapkowski recently announced that he plans to write another Witcher novel. No details so far - but if he choses to continue Geralt's story it will create a funny dissonance.

... Do I think an effective ruler need act like Henselt? No way. 

In the context of the witcher world this is  to act normal for a king.

BTW i think, almost every men/woman, who has no one to take the responsibility to and also has the absolute power over life and dearch will act like this.

I think Henselt acting like that helps him as a Kaedweni King, and while it is normal for a king in the Witcher World to act like that I don't think that it's necessary, and I also think that the mindset of the society keeps their rulers & to-be rulers within that box.

I enjoyed The Witcher 2 a lot, I especially enjoyed the graphics, they were awesome! I really liked the branching narrative too. I think one negative side effect of such a branching narrative is that the pacing ends up feeling a little off, just when you think you are about to reach the climax, suddenly the game is over. I also thought the combat was fun when I was doing well, but incredibly frustrating when I was doing poorly. The Quick Time Events were fun if I got them the first time, but I hated redoing them multiple times.

Just my thoughts, overall a very impressive game!

Quick time events can be disabled and Act III will have 4-6 hours of new content on April 17th!


 


The game has finally gone gold for 360!

Come on..that was hilarious. Henselt was my favourite king though so im biased.

Not hilarious.  Not even a little bit.

I let Roche kill Henselt, but in retrospect Geralt would probably stop him.  Man that guy deserves it though.  He deserved it even before the game started.  What a slimy little ****.  Worst part of the game was having to take over his fat ass as avatar.  I really hope they don't do that in the next one- it's fine to play a set character, but I'd rather just see a cutscene than to slip in and out of Geralt.

However it is possible to be monstrous and still possess a sense of humour. He was baiting Roche, letting him know that he knew everything about his schemes.In a way that defines Henselt as a character. He is completely and utterly fearless as you see if you choose to let Roche kill him.

Comparing values from contemporary society and medieval times is also pointless, Henselt is a king his word is law, an inflated ego kind of goes with the territory. Treating the peasantry of oppossing kingdoms as cattle is also quite normal.

The fact that he sparks such a debate shows truly how complex his character is.

Woot! Some line from that new link;

"'The game will be released in over two weeks, but I think we will surprise players in the following weeks. On the 5th of April we will host a conference and announce something truly extraordinary – so be sure to watch our live stream at 5 p.m. GMT that day.'' Said Marcin Iwiński, joint-CEO of CD Projekt RED.

Hype level over 9000.

What I read was that he planned to write more tales, not a sequel. So it seems it would take place before the saga starts.

I'm not comparing him to modern values.  I'm a history buff- that's not what I do.

I was comparing him to, for example, Foltest.

They're all complex characters.  Doesn't change the fact that the subject we're not going to talk about anymore is not in any way "hilarious."

Yeah, and wouldn't that be.... you know.... impossible anyway?  Considering how I've heard the series ends?

It definitively is not a laughing matter.

On the subject of the Witcher books, Sapowski has stated that he does not and will not consider the story of the games cannon in any way. He did praise them and call them very high quality, but they are not his stories.

^ That´s better than what he said about the movie AFAIK.

About the saga ending, it´s just as the second game shows. The devs went with Geralt and Yennefer saved by Ciri, other people think they actually died and Ciri made up what he told Galahad.

[Costin_Razvan]

What did he say about the movie actually, besides that it was ****?

Lol.

[android654]

Speaking of which, is that tv series a good way of supplementing the first game? Or is it as bad as it looks and would probably ruin my interest in TW2?

You may enjoy it if you can get over low budget. It has great atmosphere, music and actors. But what sucks are first 2 or three and last episodes that are completely changed from books. I mean heavy (and stupid) differences in story canon and lore. But middle of the series is nice imo.

Yeah, I saw a few clips on youtube and it looks like my first impressions were right. I got my hands on a copy of "Folklore" with getting ready for finals should hold me off until the seventeenth.
