EC and the Black Emporium are free, however. And the Cerberus Network added sizable amounts of content for free, albeit only to new copies. So that's not really true. Plus, I just used Bioware because people like to compare between the two developpers on all fronts. CDPR are more consumer friendly, that's undeniable, but the divide isn't that sharp I find.

 

The Extended Cut was free because they'd get ENORMOUS amounts of heckling and backlash for charging people to download a bandaid placed on ME3's terrible ending and The Black Emporium was free because it was free with DA2 and people would be seriously annoyed if they had to pay for it this time around when its sole purpose is for having the character creator available mid-playthrough. Those are only free because of circumstances. Especially the Extended Cut.

 

As for the Cerberus Network, those DLCs were small add-ons that should've been free anyway, so good on them in those few cases. And some DLCs for ME2 you had to pay for;the bigger ones like Kasumi and Overlord were understandable, but weapon and alternate armor packs were not. Those should've been free.

 

My word isn't law so I won't pretend that everyone's gotta do it the way I think is fit for gaming, but I'd prefer if smaller items like alternative appearances, armors, weapons, small missions/assignments/quests and such were made free, slightly bigger DLCs with questing had a small cost, and large content-filled expansions were the ones that required the bigger price tags.

 

But thats a dream.

It might be circumstantial, but it remains free DLC nevertheless. CDPR also releases free DLC for a reason, they know it's good PR, they wouldn't do it if they didn't (correctly) believe it engineered goodwill on the part of their fanbase.

 

I am myself wary of making blanket rules such as X and Y should be free or whatnot. Companies can charge what they like for their products, we as customers then decide if it's worth our money. I wouldn't mind paying 1-2$ for a small DLC if it adds something to the game (say, a pack of good weapons and armor, Bioware's were overpriced I agree). Thing is, it's extremely obvious that the microtransaction model is incredibly lucrative, so it's not going away anytime soon.

We only have ourselves and our peers to blame for that one. *flips table*

So pre-order keys usually are emailed out....2 - 3 days before release, right? That's normally when they can be redeemed on GoG/Steam/Origin/Uplay/etc so you can pre-load?

 

How about physical copies? Had the Collector's Edition pre-ordered since August, I can only assume in order to get it by the release date, they'll ship it out around the 16th, so that it arrives before/on the 19th.

 

Also save for one quest, Chapter 2 is one and done. Onwards to chapter 3!

I have no idea whether it differs per country or even the store you order it from. With games I've preordered I tend to receive them on the day of release or even the day before.

Lucky. When I pre-order, it's like the store is purposely trying to **** with me. Sometime I get the game the week after its release

The unicorn is a book reference, and yes, there are spells to improve sex. On the other side, that someone stuffed an unicorn is kind of a moment killer as they are intelligent beings. Ciri wouldn't be amused to find out.

This might come as a shock to you but at least canon-wise (according to the Wiki) Yen's appearance is almost certainty the product of magic, and she's nowhere near as young as you seem to think.

Doesn't hide it, is more like corrective surgery. Triss has also done something about her burn scars.

Indeed. To the untrained eye Yennefer would be an incarnation of higher beauty. But for someone like a  Witcher, its easier to see what they've had done. In the books for Triss, I believe she talks about her burns, when they're at Kaer Morhen discussing Ciri, and she tells that she can't bare to wear any low cut tops.

 

Upon first meeting Yennefer, Geralt already see's hints of what was. The following is a quote to back this up. (Page 236 of The Last Wish, near the bottom of the page.)

 

"He saw her left shoulder, slightly higher than her right. Her nose, slightly too long. Her lips, a touch too narrow. Her chin, receding a little too much. Her brows a little too irregular. Her eyes...

 

He saw too many details. Quite unnecessarily"

 

Please note I'm not trying to undermine her appearance, I was just using that quote to back up what I said about people like Witchers being able to notice the things that was once was on Sorceresses who used Magic upon themselves. 

 

But anyway. My playthrough of Witcher 2 is one and done! :D

 

Saved Saskia, and let Letho walked. That was definitely a fun playthrough, and doing all the side quests before the main quest parts was a delight. Ended up with the Vran armor, forgotten Vran sword, and for the steel sword, it was the one from the Gargoyle chests.

 

It's a shame they haven't detailed any armor imports. Like how the Raven armor imported from Witcher 1 - Witcher 2 if you had it equipped in your last W1 save.

 

But anyway, onto more RPGs! I haven't played the ME series in a while, and I'm craving the multiplayer. Or I might give Pillars of Eternity a shot.

"Emperor of Milfgaard."

Such an immature joke, yet I couldn't stop laughing when he said it. Well now I'll have a harder time taking Emhyr seriously, haha!

Anyway, been avoiding story spoilers for a while so I know next to nothing about the games opening stages and whatnot. Gonna be good coming in blind once the game hits, which is only 11 days away.
