I see, Kerrigan is a Ghost again?

I don't really agree with that either. Especially because Geralt is more the "go away with that crap, I am not interested in that"-type of character, imo. So I think it would have felt bad if he know "accidentally" falls into such an epic tale. It's just not what his focus is on.

Heh, yeah. I've checked for mods already as well, but despite the tools - that I remember to be pretty good, there was a lot hype about it back in the days - there seems to be nothing except some maps.

Interesting. Never heard of that before. Second to Second: You shoot stuff all the time. Every x meters is some random camp that is occupied by NPCs of some faction. What faction doesn't matter anything (I don't see any difference in them as well), as everyone is hostile to you... Which means, yeah, you shoot stuff all the time. Nothing else to do, except that and looking at the enviroment visuals. Firefights can be fun, but it repeats and repeats... Always the same enemies, always the same tactics, etc. Get's old and boring fast. Minute to Minute: Walking or driving around. Most of the time you do this to reach a job giver or the job target. If you like driving, this is actually fun. Walking on the other hand is tedious, as you are slow and walkways are reeeaaalllyy long (and in most of the gameworld, you have to follow the dungeon-esque forest / mountainwall buildup). Hour to Hour: You do boring fetch quests. I've played 7 hours now and so far I have done nothing else. I can't even see the difference between main quests and side quests... Don't know if there is any at all.

A part of me thinks it would have been really fancy if you could enable a third (slightly different) storypath, after you have finished the game at least once with Roche and the squirrels. In that third one, you as a master witcher, would be able to travel together with Iorweth and Roch and do yer stuff. :> The both would go all bossy over each other all the time, but you keep the group together like the super witcher you are. Though, a different part of me is happy that it didn't happened, because such storypath would most likely end up highly cliche.

I'll blame it on my english skills, so: I have no clue what you mean.

Playing some FarCry 2 in the moment, because it was cheap on steam. Damn, this game is bad. Someone knows Hard Truck: Apocalypse? FarCry 2 is the same game, just that it has better graphics and you can run around without car, while killing stuff. The game is sending me from left to right to the top, back to the bottom of the map with every damn job that I take. Slowly I'll get the feeling that the random jobs are always placing the target object at least 10 miles away from my current position, so that I have to drive through the same labyrinth-dungeon-worldmap *again*... This game really could have been good. Like a STALKER in africa. But nope, they needed to add dumb fetch quests that send you over the whole map as often as possible, while spawning always the same armed cars and soldiers in enemy camps that can be seen every 10 meters. Not to forget that every damn npc in the game is attacking the player, except the ones in the neutral town and got a respawn timer of like 10 minutes. Ehw. I really want to uninstall that crap. Really don't know what keeps me not doing this... (edit: Guess it's the graphics in the outer / border parts of the worldmap. These areas are really good looking.)

I am not. :> The QTEs that still remain in the game after QTEs have been disabled are totally unneeded, imo (not talking about fist fighting and the other minigames). Clicking the mouse buttons fast doesn't get me a tense feeling. It's just annoying when I think I'll be watching a cutscene now, that it wants me from one moment to the other to click the mouse fast. Good, it doesn't happen often in the game... but yeah, even that is an argument against them: If they aren't often anyway, strike out the last few remaining ones as well, nobody will cry about it.

I've disabled QTEs and I am happy about it.

I love it as well, but the game also has it's annoying flaws. Btw. once again I couldn't beat Letho and had to switch to easy-mode. He is just crushing me with his ninja speed and signs, regardless of what I've tried. As soon as he is using Quen once, I am as good as dead. Everything else in chapter 1 was no problem. Really annoying.

But they keep me annoyed, if I have to walk minutes long inside the body of some other character to some place without anything happening. Anyway, I am in chapter 2 now with my second playthrough, sided with the squirrels. I think the chapter 1 ending was much better than with Roche, though, I feel a bit bad now. :>

Yeh, there aren't many of these "interactive cutscenes" but they for sure are annoying as hell. I just don't get why it was added... it adds nothing to the game and the same "feeling" could have been done with a normal cutscene as well.

Heh, the only time where I used the Cat potion was when . And in this situation I've used like 5 or 10 potions.

At least Bethesda's rock and mountain models remain in their old style.

Heh, I bet he would even play it.

"The Hitman games of the past have been very hardcore," Yeah? Didn't noticed that.

Can someone tell me where I can find specter oil in chapter one? Want to go to the haunted house now, but not without that oil. Can't find the stuff or the formular on any trader.

So, is it worth to buy NWN2 + MOTB only to play MOTB while never looking at the main game that is NWN2? Didn't played MOTB yet, and I might be interested in it. And in what kind of way is it connected to PS:T? (I keep reading that folks say it's like a spiritual successor. Only by style or something else?)

You are sure that it's not a problem with your controller?

But thats pretty expensive. Another way to kill the queen is to run up to her, attack, run away until she lose the interest, then go back and hit her again, run away, repeat. Pretty boring, though. I've also found the kayran to be pretty easy on my second playthrough. I just needed one try and was done in 3 minutes or so.

Never run into a group of enemies. Lure them away / split up the group and only attack them if they are more or less alone. With good timing, you can also jump around them and they will never hit you. /Edit: And with Quen sign, you'll get some additional damage puffer.

CDP released the pre-order DLCs for free: http://www.gamingreality.com/2011/05/downl...cher-2-dlc.html Does someone know what each of them is doing / how / where to get that stuff, screenshots, yadda-yadda? Somehow I never heard of that stuff. Guess that's because I've preordered already months ago and didn't cared anymore after that... :>

I like the interview / article. Nice read.

About Roache's badassness: He belongs to the special forces, after all. That's like Rainbow Six: Witchers World. Also, about chapter 2: /Edit: GOG Patch installed fine for me as well.

FNV savegames haven't been lost. If I remember correct, they just have been on the wrong place or steam couldn't read them. In any case, all saves have been still available after the problem was fixed.
