    Why would an aggresive enemy like Pursuer need to do input reading? He is relentlessly attacking most of the time anyway, just need to time the potions same way you time your attacks, when he is locked in animations.

    Yeah, it would be pretty badass if you could dodge blows until the enemy got tired and then finished him off. Hell, GoT is extremely popular, they could have showcased the system with Geralt doing a Bronn to some heavy armored knight.

    It would have made fighting a large group of weaker monsters more interesting if you'd have to manage stamina and pace yourself, take some of the trash out of trash combat. Could have made it optional if they're scared of alienating some of the more casual crowd.

    just the combat. It was basically THE game and they totally failed to grab me, the graphic, setting and somewhat interesting lore kept me from abandoning it.
    But honestly, it's a bad game.

    I'm just playing the Witcher 1 first time, haven't played Witcher 2. The quests are interesting because you feel more like a private investigator and the first chapter gives you kind of Sleepy Hollow vibes. You have to made your own conclusions (or pay a bit of attention) to get the full picture but it's not always rewarded so far.

    For example there was some legwork to prove guilty or innocence of some people. I could prove their innocence in this special matter and was highly suspicious towards one specific guy. I could accuse him of being different than before but I had no option to collar grab him and instead I had to play along with his shenanigans to kill someone I had already proven to be innocent. That was a real bummer. In fact it made me restart the game and playing "as intended".

    If they managed to really diversify the combat tactics against different monsters that would be really cool. Reminds me a bit of the old amiga game Moonstone.

    If they managed to kill geralt in the first 15 minutes and then give us character creation, then itd be great.

    But there is diversity: You have to use either the silver or the steel sword.

    Are you the guy who scripted today's stream? They died in the first 15 minutes and are now talking about talents and levelling up.

    Inventory looks like Diablo 3, skill system works like in Diablo 3, I can only hope the story is as engrossing as in Diablo 3.

    Sound is shit, resolution is shit and instead of showing some interesting locations or quests they spend all the time mumbling about inventory or derp-fighting some trash mobs.

    That looks better (apart from that shit moss texture at bottom left... /skyway). A lot of the recent screenies look really washed out and flat.
