    I guess that means sing charge = stamina

    Seems I wasn't paying attention the first time. Stamina is the yellow bar next to the Signs icon (the one that says Sign Charge on that screenshot before). Also from reddit:

    In that video at around 16:10 you can see the yellow bar depleting when she starts running.

    So eventually you want to stop rolling unless you do not want to use any other action. Sounds like an improvement.

    Bullshits, you need to stop rolling for a few seconds to get rolling again, which is of course what will happen during gameplay anyway since you have to hit someone a few times or cast a sign.

    But, since it is connected to Vigor (stamina/endurance...yes, its been a long time) that means there is a possibility to mod it so it actually takes away vigor or actually needs vigor to be available.

    Why would I care about other people being retard-checked? It was just pointless since the choice was obvious.

    Already too many combat actions consume stamina IMO. Geralt might have white hair, but he is not an asthmatic old man, he should be able to attack and dodge without tiring after a few seconds (run too IMO). If rolling is too good, it should be nerfed in some other way.

    Make damage taken while rolling more disruptive, perhaps, apply more stagger, etc. That may not stop roll-spam, however.

    Never happened in w2 either. Its the invulnerability roll. Which is what makes it such a shit mechanic in addition to free spam.

    MicoSelva that "reatrd" was for usage of strawmans, just so were clear.

    So combat is basically the same with Witcher 1 but without the combos ?

    Kinda ridiculous seeing Geralt wear plate armor, though, or at least pieces of it. Isn't that armor heavy and cumbersome and the whole point of witcher fighting styles is, like, being fast and agile?

    CDPR stopped giving a fuck about logic when they were making TW2.

    Well they have 2 options. Stick to the books and don't let the players change too much about the weapons and armor of Geralt, making the game less of an RPG, or let them change their character however they want, as a role playing game should be. Since the game already departed a lot from the books, I'm happy that there are more options to build Geralt.

    Funny, because TW1 was more of an RPG in terms of stats and you only had a handful of weapons and 3 armors to choose from.

    There are RPGs with limited itemization, first Witcher being one of them. Also, remember how for example PB (before it went to shit) handled armor in their games? There were only few of them but all represented significant defensive upgrades, happened over long intervals and signified you raising in rank in a faction of your choice, felt quite rewarding. That's good design, focus on quality rather than quantity and make the gear upgrade a rare and special occasion.

    That is like saying it was more of a gun because it had plastic finish instead of wood.
    TW could be stripped away from all stats and kill all things with one slash and still would be RPG.

    Gothic handled that good because your character was kind of a ''beginner'' at the start of the game and it would be stupid to give you kewl things and sheit,you had to work your body and gather money to buy them.Geralt is a mutant with the strength of a monster and you tell me he can't handle some heavy armor ?

    Geralt is not an easy character to build around,he's known to be a strong person and to limit him from using some kitchen knife and some pansy ass armor because he doesn't have enough dex and str ,it's stupid in my opinion.
