THE WITCHER 2 is upon us!

1. Respawning monsters in the wilderness/sewers.
WHY? WHY DO I NEED TO FIGHT THESE DROWNERS EVERY FUCKING TIME ?

You don't have to fight them. You can run past them (that's what I was doing in the swamp). In TW2 monsters respawn, but you can get quests to destroy monsters' nests to stop them from respawning (and you have to gain some knowledge how to do it).

 

[Gragt]

I piss on your juvenile scorn.

 

[Roguey]

I don't know what version of Fallout you were playing but I've stolen a shitload of stuff from shelves in those games and people have said nothing. Maybe there is a distance or visibility cone/trigger thing and I just didn't trigger it. In that case I stand corrected.

Indeed you do.

 

[commie]

Eh, like I said I made a mistake. The mind isn't what it used to be. Been a long time since I played FO. Got it mixed up with something else...

It's all good mang.

Cutscenes = C&C. More news at 11.

Yep. That's how The Witcher handled it, and so that's how The Witcher 2 handles it. So it's not 'news at 11' but 'news from 2007'.

You could learn about almost all the consequences of your actions from the dialogues. The cutscenes that illustrated results of your choices weren't there to build C&C. They were added so morons who can't think for themselves would understand that Vincent helps you fight assassins because you haven't killed him earlier. That was their only purpose in the first game; a lame exposition. So far it works similarly in The Witcher 2, except they look much, much worse. Additionally, they added tons and tons of cutscenes made on game engine which has nothing to do with C&C.

BUT IS ALVIN THE KINGSLAYER MELITELE DAMNIT?!

Spoiler

Yes. When he blinked away in Murky Waters in TW1, you were lead to believe that he ended up becoming Jacques de Aldersburg, Grand Master of the Order of the Flaming Rose. In reality, he blinked to the past, before Geralt was born, and was found wandering a road near Kaer Morhen. A young Vesemir happened to be riding the road on patrol, and he took Alvin in to be trained as a Witcher. On the journey to the Witcher stronghold, Vesimir's horse dropped dead suddenly, and they were stranded. As night fell, Alvin got all spooky, like he did in Abigail's cottage in the outskirts of Vizima and told Vesemir that a mysterious force would get them back to Kaer Morhen. Just then, Vesemir whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror. If anything he thought this cab was rare, but he just shrugged it off and said "Good sir, to Morhen! Kaer!"

Well, if there wasn't any, then you wouldn't actually understand what the hell triggered the death of Conrad in the bar in TW-Chapter 2 etc or why Vivaldi was arrested etc. I think it's actually a nice touch, but like you mentioned, CD Projekt simply had no idea how to relay that information to the player in any other way. Suddenly Geralt, supposedly the guy you're controlling drew his own conclusion and you were meant to accept it as truth.

I can't beat that freakin operator guy. I almost killed him on easy though the damn gargoyles got me in a chain death animation right before I could kill him. FU skill respec man!11!!!1

 

[abija]

Operator:

Spoiler

He's human, fireballs don't go through pillars and it went much easier if I didn't try to hit him when gargoyles were up.

Witchers, I need help to get into the tower in the forest in act 2 in the quest "W pogonii za magia" (idk how it's called in English, perhaps something like "In search of magic" or something, anyway it's the quest where you need to find something with great magical abilities). I stand next to the tower but I have no idea how to climb over the rocks on the hill. Is anyone able to help me?

The thing is in the harpy nest.

The Witcher 2 is the best cRPG since Bloodlines.


I said it. Let the Skyway begin...

 

[Jaesun]

That statement doesn't really mean much there Konjad.

 

[Achilles]

The Witcher 2 is the best cRPG since Bloodlines.

Eh, I don't know, it's more of an action-RPG.

And what Bloodlines was? O.o

 

[Lesifoere]

And what Bloodlines was? O.o

A deep tactical isometric turn-based RPG, duh?

what can change the nature of a RPG?

 

[Achilles]

My disagreement is about the term "cRPG".

 

[Captain Shrek]

My disagreement is about the term "cRPG".

I thought it meant Computer RPG . Am I wrong?

 

[Commissar Draco]

I woud agree if the combat was TB or atleast RTWAP like in DAO. The game is good, the potatoes were well spent but it's bugged and overhyped. Ending was atrocius lot worse than TW1.

 

[Zed]

Overhyped? NO! This game is much potato! It's because potato potato! Don't your dare potato this potato! Potato!! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

 

[DraQ]

Overhyped? NO! This game is much potato! It's because potato potato! Don't your dare potato this potato! Potato!! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

U MAD?

 

[1eyedking]

If TW1 barely qualified as a RPG, then TW2 doesn't stand a chance.

We've definitely entered action-adventure game with stats territory now.
