You joking? 400k in the first week for a PC-exclusive is incredible.
EDIT: A lot of potato is going to be had.

DA2 sold 400k to this point on all platforms.By the end of the year TWitcher2 will most likely hit about 1.5 million sales + xbox will add about another 500k.

If VGCharts is even remotely accurate (probably doesn't include digital sales) DA2 sold 700k in first week on all platforms .FatCat said:
Even if it isn't accurate, if DA2 would have sold only 400K til now all staff would have been fired in a huge media frenzy.

fuck me... so cheesy
potatoes marketing
The witcher on fuckbox will mean more potatoes for Witcher 3. 
And elves are like Spanish/Mexicans, they landed on white ships five hundred year before humans and tried to enslave dvarfes, gnomes and hobbits they wipead out the Varans. (That's why mayority of Dvarfes don't buy this elven bs propagand about elder races). Only to be assfucked by new wave of conquerors, karma pointeared bitches.

You guys misunderstood. I don't mind the ending being short at all. Considering the amount of branches in this game, which I frankly haven't seen the like of before, the shorter game-time (not THAT much shorter really) doesn't bother me.
But the ending, the last 10-20 minutes of the game was brutally abrubt. There were a lot of things Geralt could be asking and doing at to sort some things out that felt as though they should've been part of the game.

Seeing to Saskia after defeating her (if opting not to kill her)
What of Iorveth? He leaves her with Triss, then she comes after defeating Letho and not a word is spoken of him henceforth. Don't know if the story is similar with Roche.
Delving further into Letho's reasoning. A lot of people here said they spared him because they understood his reasons, but I ask: What fucking reasons? He had none. He slew kings for another king is basically the gist for it, the way it's presented at the end it isn't anymore complicated. That's weak shit compared to the complexity and depth in the characters up till this point.
The story is VERY well constructed, weaving tons of different choices seemingly together. Yet at the end it seems to come down to three things:
1) Do you let Sile die? 2) Do you kill the dragon or allow it to live? 3) Do you kill Letho or allow him to live?
For a game with such a well-told story, it seems to break off pretty quick.
I will say, however, that for a game three defining choices at the end is still pretty good I guess. It's just that the story that goes before these choices implies much more.

By the way, a little friendly codexian taunting: If VD ever meant anything he said about C&C, he better choose this game as his no. 1 ever. Not even Holy Codex C&C-games of old can meet the amount or complexity of choices in Twitcher 2. I'm not saying this game is best evar by any means in my personal opinion, just that those wholly dedicated to the School of C&C are fucking wankers if they don't defend this game with everything they've got.
It was either serve the Emperor or die. Letho saw a great man in the Emperor who keeps his promises and that promise was to rebuild the Witcher school of the Snake. It's like a dream come true for every witcher.
At the END mind you. You still have the Henselt/Stennis choices. Iorveth or Roche. Philipia or Triss. Young Princess or Triss. And even in the Young Princess you decide the fucking fate of Temeria.
Dunno bout Saskia, she appears only briefly on Roche's path. Letho did it because the emperor promised to rebuild his Witcher school and rehabilitate Witchers in Nilfgaard. In short: he did it for his bros! Best char in game imo.

I'm afraid VD is currently under impression that TW2 has 'fake' or 'inconsequential' choices. He compared it to the branching in BG2 when you could choose the thieves' guild or the vampires

Bullshitz. Letho is a smart man, I'm sure he can take one short look at Dol Blathanna and decide freedom under the emperor isn't exactly freedom. I'm not saying the only choice is to kill Letho, I'm saying that a game with characters as great as in The Witcher 2 owes more than a "I chose the good king"-explanation.
Havoc said:
Philippa or Triss is a fake choice, as we have already established. And I can see from your response that you think I'm looking for more choices in the endgame. I'm not. I'm looking for a resolution to some things. What your relationship with some characters are at the end is not finalised. I'm not looking for answers to the stuff that TW3 will obviously revolve around, just personal relations.

Missed opportunity.
