Big negative for GoG is that in some cases you can't get a game without certain fanmade patches/mods already pre-installed. They should make those optional for download.
Not to mention, how they remove the DRM is sometimes... questionable. I recall some drama about them using a reloaded crack of Arcanum a couple of months back.
Many enemies near the end use cleric spells that only work against good party members, like Blasphemy and Unholy blight. An all-evil or all-neutral party has, ironically, a much easier time in the end.
It's interesting that "saving" the Baroness isn't even mandatory. One can ignore her and her assets, which will lead into her succumbing to torture and signing the document stating that she did not give birth to Foltest's bastard child.
Hahaha, so the part with the breasts was apparently just an embellishment by some drunk, fat storyteller (Zoltan Chivay?). In your face, whiners about CD Projekt's "gratuitous nudity".
This game keeps inclining with each new piece that comes out.
I'll give it a try and see if my 2+ year old computer can handle it. It could handle Risen pretty well and this game doesn't look better than that; hopefully the game's well enough optimized.
I strongly suggest to give it a try, you just might like it. In my opinion it's easily the best rpg since Mask of the Betrayer.
Err no, MotB is the best RPG since the Witcher, actually.
It'd be survival only if food & drink would actually be scarce. That won't be the case in FO:NV. I'm pretty sure food & drink won't be lying around everywhere like in FO3, but still one will simply be able to visit a shop when necessary and purchase whatever one needs.
Vanguard was fun in ME1 at least. Just cast Stoneskin Barrier and run around unloading your shotgun up-close-and-personal. This was also the reason why enemy vanguards were particularly dangerous if your team was low-level and unprepared.
They're just an integral part of the Witcher, like romances in a BioWare game, horrible camera in an Obsidian game, or emo teenagers in a Square Enix game.
In other words, both a curse and a blessing.
There's an awesome Let's play on teh internetz of MOTB that shows awesome the Spirit Eather mechanic can be if one plays with an Evil, "devour everything" type character.
