I never had any trouble fighting the dragon. I've played through the game 5 times, I think, possibly 6, and I've dies a total of once, maybe twice on the dragon fight. The Kayran fight is the one that always gives me the most trouble, even though once you learn what to do, it's really not hard. For whatever reason, I always screw up a bunch of times doing that fight. I don't think I've ever gotten past the Kayran in less than 3 tries. It's the reason I'll never attempt Insane Mode, because I know for a fact my game will end at the hands tentacles of the Kayran. Well as I said it was annoying until you get the rhythm. Still think that was a dumb fight in a way, fighting a dragon should involve you forcing to the ground, otherwise it should just burn you from the air.

I was too late to warn you. Alexander has published real concerns in gaming - http://leighalexander.net/list-of-ethical-concerns-in-video-games-partial/

Nice relaxing day of doing nothing. Well, other than housework. Is a festival tonight in the city, but it's mainly "art" and the audience is a bunch of hipsters, drunks and stoners which dampens my curiosity.

hmm.. Go look at Killcreek's photos if you need naked 'developers' (both of them barely qualify as that, I think).

Heh, really ? Why, exactly ? Eh, sometimes. Technical stuff is ok. The other design stuff, well, that can go take a hike - I still remember reaction to Jensen's post about it being 'transphhobic' and 'cis centered'. Seems the last line is all that matters to you, need echoes.

Well that dragon fight was annoying as I remember, took a while to get the rhythm of it. The new quest in Ch 3 isn't that bad, on Roche's path you get to dabble in politics a bit more. Also, CDPR was having a good joke with the credits of the EE. It's 25 minutes long

And boob cards.

Eh, even if true, who knows to which degree. Crunch and overpromising are staples of the industry, or so it seems. Thought we had a CDPR guy here, as well, but I assume he'd be too busy working

Apparently some insider on NeoGAF. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=905447&page=7 Probably a bunch of nothing.

Outwitted Philippa and not inked up, so yes.

No idea, am on Roche's path, I get some quest with the Ves-like operative I gather, I just started. I regret not taking extra roll distance, was getting my ass kicked by the fire golem before the Henselt showdown (which was rather easy with Igni spam, heh).

Why should they be concerned with it? Seriously why can't people just make what they want and if someone wants to make a thing out of concern for representation let them do that. '12 Angry Men' did not need a X% of women among them. These people have problems playing protagonists that aren't themselves.

My favourite one was Torúviel's. Forgot how bad the vampire queen's was. Vesna's not bad.

Heh.

Hah, turns out my game was still on easy. I had set it that way to just breeze through and see the EE stuff but I guess it reverted when I loaded a save and I was unaware, whoops.

Well, now all AMD needs to do know is seize this opportunity and name Sarkeesian as their ambassador or something. Sweet SJW money.

Well I avoid GD, except for one thread, but everywhere else seems to be on the same level as here for the most part. A good example of "get what you give", as well.

Gave some neat art for some of them. Gets people riled up too, that's a bonus.

Witcher 2 didn't have much in the way of boob variety, if I recall.

As an aside, for the Codex, why does it 'need' serious moderation, exactly ? It's a website people willingly go to. The fact that you think that is pretty clear among everything else that your idea of free speech is stuff you are okay with (not a unique attribute, heh). Hm, I don't really want it either way, really, at least in active sense I suppose. Also it's not the act of closing but pressure to change in some way (have not followed closely, so not sure what the actual letters said) - trying to squeeze the cash flow is pressure, but I'd get a good laugh out of some of them dying out. People have tried this with a number of chains last year and before that, at least in the US and the consensus has been that that is ok - boycotts are a weapon in the bag of the consumers. If they were doing this to squeeze a site to ditch an anti-gay writer, I'd be shocked to find you in opposition.

That would be pretty sweet, Kuchera could end up writing for some meaningless paper or hock crap e-books and Rex would...well most likely hang himself. You are ok with people using their free speech to squeeze businesses where it hurts to get them to obey, as long as it's line with you - so why is this an issue ?

These people feel too much.

Haven't been on the Witcher forums in ages, doesn't seem all that different in terms of what people are discussing. Well other than a thread about "lore rape" that wasn't censored.

I guess they are to be ragey as they victimize him like all Bioware folk ? Twitter post was funny, though. "My new job: I am very pleased to announce that I am CD PROJEKT RED's new Community Manager for North America! I get to work on The Witcher!" Yeah, "get to work on".

Maybe I will wait for the first expansion.
