I bought The Witcher enhanced edition to ply the first computer game I ever played on my computer cuz it didn't come out for the consules and I couldn't play it on my computer cuz my computer ain't spectacular to play it on...it glitches too much I can't read any description or info or options....the game freeezes during cut scenes and gameplay.....etc. I really wanted to play that game. Does anyone know if it will be ported to Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 though? I really wanna play it as I was told it is better than Dragon Age Origins and is similar.

Lil Kis, It's very similar and, well in my opinion superior. The new one that's coming out soon is supposed to be for the xbox as well I think. I've been waiting for it for some time.



Having trouble getting into DA...after the origins the game falls flat. I have however played all the Origins and I like how they tie into each other. I am now thoroughly sick of Ostagar and Lothering though lol... If I never see those two area's again..well it might be too soon.



Dragon Age does not feel dark to me in any sense so far and the darkspawn feel like unhinged automatons. They're the gith...only coming out of the ground. Sigh...I'll have to give it another try soon. Last game that made me feel like this was that crap that was NWN2...

Haven't heard anything about that and I highly doubt it will be, but the sequel is likely to be on the consoles I've read.

I was going to comment on a lot of posts here but enough saying that The Witcher EE is an awesome game and I can hardly wait for TE2. And an epic combat like it has vs a powerful golem, it is really cool to master the combat and keep hitting 5 combo moves in a row till he's dead. Ppl who dislike combat there usually is because they keep clicking endlessly ... and in Hard diff, there not much of a pointer abt when to click, except a very subtle orange weapon trail.

Which brings me to say that Hard diff is awesome there. Alchemy is a must to go thru it and it is a fun system with many story related portions that have really useful moments. And Geralt is sterile and his mutation causes women to tingle at sight... like Michael the archangel... so women are all over him and it's said he's got a Warden's endurance as well.

It is a great game and I have many replays there. Including as a full magic user which makes Geralt pretty different from the sword one.

I disagree that 3d games MUST have customization. It is cool and a trademark in Bioware and Bethesda games but a Nameless Hero like in Gothic/Risen and a notorious personality like Geralt can also get the job done and have a legion of fans, especially because they are a concrete uncustomizable figure.

That said, I love DA and I can't wait for more of it as well! Different games make the gaming world a whole lot better than if they all copied themselves! And I love to play the really good ones to exhaustion!

f...k yeah east europe the last stand of good rpgs

well both are great games overall i say DA:O is the better pick. the combat system is much better, the witcher is acceptable if you play it in overview mode. unplayable in 1st person view.

I must agree that the world feel alot more alive and the choices are so grim and is effecting the game in so many way that you can't predict them ahead. the games is however lacking in unique NPC apperances the same people will be used over and over again. both games has terrible drinking animations. (the mug don't go to the mouth instead somewhere below as he/she is puring it on it's belly.



DA:O will however thanks to it's character generation and toolset live far longer then the witcher has. How many authors wants todo a geralt module after all? reminds me that i still haven't played the extra content to the witcher...

someone who can't use the word morale properly and is openly supportive of bigotry shouldn't be listened to  

I failed to see your weak logic. Go read the books and then you'll get what I mean. By default the witchers aren't supposed to be questioning what's good and what's evil - their lives are dedicated to killing monsters and whether the real monsters are in human flesh or not shouldn't be bothering them. In that sense they don't have a morale - they don't care what's good and what - bad, they don't want to bring justice to the world, they wouldn't even care to help a defensless village suffering from constant monster attacks unless coin was involved. Geralt is different, but that's the whole point of his story. And even in the first couple of books he tries to fool himself that he doesn't care about the world and the only thing that mattered for him was killing monsters and getting paid for it.

1. It's "morals" not "morale".

2. I've read the books - all of them - and you're wrong. The Witchers have morals, and they also have a Code that is meant to protect them and other people from the consequences of a bunch of highly trained "mutants" running around doing whatever they think is right.

The Witchers were originally created not as agents of Good vs. Evil but Order vs. Chaos, to protect humanity from the consequences of the Conjunction of the Spheres (IIRC that's what the English translations call it, I've read the books in Polish) - the event which brought many worlds into contact, and introduced monsters (as well as Elves and Dwarves) into the world.

There are several reasons why they only kill monsters for money... Mainly, though, they've learned the hard way that if they do it for free, people instantly develop a sense of entitlement, which then inevitably turns into resentment when the Witchers (who can't be everywhere) fail to save little Timmy from being eaten by a drowner, or fail to keep the village's cows from dying - which of course was the fault of that witch living over by the lake, etc.

Geralt is exceptional, but he's hardly alone among them in having feelings and morals. There's a big difference between how the world sees Witchers (and how they want to be seen) and how they really are.
