I actually thought the Witcher's storyline was kinda cliche, especially the whole "mutagenic monsters threatening the world" stuff. I couldn't get why Geralt was taking part in this search for ingredients that were not actually usable in the game. furthermore, the character had a bad james bond style vibe with all the "famous bedroom antics". I also found that the setting was very tiresome, since I could see no reason why I should care about the world of the Witcher. I think that one of the positive things was the malleability of some aspects of the main character's personality.

I'm not really sure how it was cliche >.>

The mutagen that were stolen are used for training Witchers. Like Grey Wardens NO ONE outside the Witcher's are supposed to have the knowledge how to make Witchers. Same thing with Wardens not letting anyone live if they choose to back out from drinking darkspawn blood like Jory did.

Geralt wants to get the mutagens back and at get revenge for the attack on Witchers home. Which quickly escaltes into something more involved with politics.

Ringo, it's not worth bothering over.

Errr "Mutagenic monsters threatening the world" wasn't the story of the game, nor is it the story in the books. Have you played the game?

Yea there is something unusual about the WItcher world, probably since it incorporates central and east European Lore and a bit of medieval reality mixed with fantasy. In one preview of witcher 2 I saw there is going to be a troll under the bridge. In the usual story he collects tolls and is hated, in this case he will love vodka, plus the villagers want him around as he is great at up keeping the bridge.
That whole noon bride/midnight bride thing was very different in the first Witcher also btw, I didn't expect that to happen as everything was so happy and sunny, minus a little jealousy.

Yea heh thats like saying DAO was about a king. Witcher was about a cursed princess, a boy, revolution, the end of time, betreyal, love, lessons learned and who one is and who one is to become. And that's in brief. O yea and consequences and more consequnces, with what is the lesser of the two evils.

Right right!

Kinda funny people are trying to complain about something that they have no idea of. That's so amusing lol. We shouldn't be bother with people who do not want to try or give other franchises a try.. it is their loss for not trying something that is probably better.

That's true, I just want CD Projekt RED to get all what they deserve in adapting a unique world into an amazing game(s).

It's too bad I won't be able to play it. From reading these previews it sounds like it'd melt my CPU even on the lowest settings.

Ah well. Guess I'll have to wait until November for Skyrim.

If you use a console as well it may be on that sooner then Skyrim, last night unless the lead dev was misqouted he confirmed they have been working on the console version already. Wouldnt be surprised since the PC version is shipping with a 360 controller support.

But if you saw the previews it looks more like it will run on a wide range of hardware!

If you guy didn't know CDPR has confirmed the game will be coming to consoles:

@ Ringo - Well running and running well are two entirely different things, right? From the previews I read... the previews linked in this thread, they all say that even on the lowest settings (which would push my computer, trust me) it runs, but not like butter.

@ Archaven - Yeah I saw that. A new project means a new project, right? Not just a port. That means definitely not by the end of the year. In fact, who knows when?

It's cool, it's not a big deal. I'll wait for Skyrim. I didn't play the 1st Witcher either so it's not like I'm falling over myself with anticipation. =P

[snfonseka]

Fox news.... looks like you have some work to do

[Chromie]

@Rockpopple If you can't run Witcher 1 how can you run Skyrim?! Or getting the console version? I can't imagine an Elder Scrolls game with out mods.

[orbit991]

I can just see the s^#% storm from some of the PC crowd. Personally I don't care if it's ported as long as they keep making a proper quality PC version first. And Skyrim I will have to get for PC as well, for me at least Bethesda games have a very short life span without mods.

If TW2 can keep the unique world and impact of player choice from the original and get rid of the cardboard female characters, childish dialogue, and dull as dirt combat then it could be really great. I remain unconvinced, but I'll keep an eye on the reviews.

Yes. I did play the game. I also interpreted the story for the game as being "well ****, the evil villan stole our thunder, and that thunder could be used to make Bad Stuff happen! Let's go hunt them down for a guy who we don't get to know very well in the intro". If you're curious, I finished the final boss fight by 'killing' the Wild hunt.

I also saw no reason as to why the character is getting railroaded into a plot that ultimately ends in a disatisfying way. I mean, you do witcher stuff and the game ends on a cliffhanger?!

color text= sarcastic satire.

Witcher 2 is a direct sequel to Witcher 1. Hence the name Assassins of Kings.

Your not very good at interpretation it seems.

It's true that I would make a terrible videogame critic, but those were my thoughts. I did have fun playing it, but at the same time, there was a barrier to my understanding "why should I care about the character?"

It's a personality thing I guess, much as some like certain companions and some dont. I liked he's dry sarcasm and actually it's true you dont know anything about him, unless you read the books, hell he doesnt know himself and discovers who he is through your actions, but to each he's own this sort of thing is pretty subjective.
I have not read any of the books myself so I do want to see them get deeper into he's character in TW2.

@ Ringo - Yeah, I'll be playing Skyrim on the PS3 - assuming the PSN is back up by then. =P

And I'll do it cuz I have no choice, and I'm used to playing without mods by now. =)

Besides, I think I heard somewhere that Bethesda wants to try to have mods available to console users. Good luck to them. Even if they could pull that off, they'd probably have us pay for them, which is unacceptable. So vanilla game again for me! =P

[doomsteel]

so whats this whitcher about? smash the **** out of everyone,everything?any dialog?or just cards and swords
