Went with Triss to save the lab. It seems important!

Everyone grab your popcorn while we wait for the play by play.

Quick warning, Witcher 1 has it's lull moments but I'd say reaching the end was satisfying! Looking forward to see how you feel!

Leo wasn't the brightest >.>

Seemed like a good kid though. I'll put him on the list of people to avenge!

[Dave of Canada]

Leo forgot to wear his plot armor that day.

[Allan Schumacher]

Eh, I find "plot armor" not much of an issue in most games. I consider the standard combat to be something "unrealistic" simply because it's more fun that way.

So the idea that someone dies more easily in a cutscene isn't something that has really ever bothered me.


I do like the level up options in this game though. Tossed a point into strength, got my second power attack, and one into dexterity as well.

Of course, the comment was mostly in jest. Everyone else seems to take the invasion fine until the Sorcerer goes "oh ****, let's finish this kid off! He's not invincible unlike the others!".

I was a fan of the original Witcher's leveling system from an easy difficulty setting perspective, it's a shame higher difficulties basically force you to focus into one-two specific branches.

I personally can't play TW1 until I've:

-Installed Flash's FCR mod. Helps with the combat and makes it harder.

-Switched to Polish VO's. The English ones are pretty bad.

[Allan Schumacher]

I don't mind the English VO so far. If I were to turn it to a different language, I likely wouldn't bother with voice at all, unfortunately.

I'm only playing on "intermediate" so hopefully I'm not forced to focus too much.

[Allan Schumacher]

LOL whoops. Didn't realize the grindstone was a temporary buff >.>

[Dave of Canada]

You fool! You've doomed* yourself, now you'll never be able to beat the game!

*claim may be exaggerated

[Allan Schumacher]

Vesemir the ONLY survivor. Sounds fishy >.>

I miss The Witcher. Enjoyed the second one much more, but still liked the first. Those English VO's were bad...should of did what you did, Slim.

[Dave of Canada]

I found the voice acting grew on me around the time I finished the swamp.

"Sorry you lost your family kid"

Bah, I like TW1 better.  It has a better atmosphere and art style, and I for one prefer the clickity combat to clickityclickity roll.

Amalur is a lot of fun, but I also thought The Witcher was as well. Get yourself into the second chapter and from there on it's really, really good, IMO.

Well, maybe I'm weird, but for me the first chapter was my favourite. Then the fourth. Both had pretty unique, different and deeply running atmospheres. Hidden secrets determining the fate of the whole populace... (particularly in 1). Chapters 2 & 3, while impressive in regard to the city scope, felt too much like FedEX fetch-fests at times. Also some quests, like the investigation, felt a bit chaotic.

And here I thought I might be the only one!

TW2 is a more... coherent and more fluid experience... but TW1 is so much richer! Both in the scope and in the atmosphere.
And I'm no fun of roll-style combat in TW2 either. Wasn't much of a fan of TW1 clicky combos... but after trying TW2 combat, I found the combos more entertaining...

Edit: A slight spoiler, if you wish.
Try to do all special monster contracts from the huntsman in each chapter. There are 2 per chapter (10 altogether) and if you miss one before a chapter is finished, you can't come back. The final reward in Chapter V is rather nice...

Hah! 100 orens for an old debt I don't remember!

Curious what other surprises my past has waiting for me.

[ObserverStatus]

Well, if it doesn't have to be an RPG, Planetside 2 and Blacklight Retribution are both great games. Don't know if you've ever played the original Fallout, that's what I've been playing that lately, lots of replayability in that one. I've been trying to see if I can beat the game fighting with no weapons but rocks.

Exactly as I feel. Chapters one and four almost stand on their own, separate from the main plot. And yet I liked that, living the life of a Witcher, dealing with the locals and their dirty secrets.

the first witcher was a true gem, also do try the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series if you like the witcher. They both did somehing great on atmosphere.

I am currently playing Civ 5 (I'm a Civaholic).

Should I continue playing that, or should I start playing The Witcher?  (I'll likely play on an easier difficulty, since the concept around the combat was uuuuuuuuuuugh.  But I have only ever gotten past the prologue really).

If you mean 'The Witcher 2,' then play that.

personally will choose Dark Souls over The witcher 2. the first witcher is a very atmospheric game and so does dark souls.  The witcher 2, on the other hand, did nothing that really impressed me except for beautiful sceneries.

Let us know how your Witcher playthrough comes along both are great games although I hate the combat of the first one.

The fight against the Beast greatly illustrates how the combat system is quite the POS IMO.
