The Witcher 2 franchise will never be better then the Dragon Age franchise. The witcher is based off ***ing books and they used a bioware engine. noob developers
Ok, I've got a question.
I've never played the Witcher. But I have read/watched a couple of reviews.
Can someone tell me if this one is accurate?
Yahtzee is usually accurate.
He's right about the game being rather full of fetch quests, and sometimes the game is a bit awkward in presentation and voice acting, and sometimes easy to loose track of a goal or exactly what to do, but that tends to happen in most open-ended and less linear RPGs of yore. Sure, the combat is simplistic (click once the cursor turns yellow to do a powerful attack, up to three times. Click to get into "group stance" for multiple enemies, or hard stance, choose which weapon you want, or what magic ability you want to do SEEMS unintuitive, but once you just roll with it, it actually works pretty well. The combat is extremely fluid, the game runs really well on an engine as old as the earth itself, and each attack coupled with ragdolls makes combat pretty entertaining.
I had this hilarious bug of Geralt being stuck in whatever animation frame he was in while entering conversation but his expression changing so he was comically stuck mid run while having a completely flat straight face with a monotone voice. It was extremely amusing.
Anyways, the lack of polish from a polish game (HURP DE DURP I MAEK JOEK) was to be expected, but not really a bad mark against it. I'd rather have a slightly unpolished game rather than a polished game full of ruined expectations and straight corridors after cooridors.
So in that regard the Witcher was quite refreshing.
