October 24, 200718 yr It's actually still fine and dandy today. Maybe for you, but I have higher standards. Different standards, mabye, but I wouldn't call them higher. My blood! He punched out all my blood! - Meet the Sandvich
October 24, 200718 yr ....and here I thought we'd have a nice good discussion about the Witcher. WHY MUST YOU DESTROY ALL THAT I LOVE, SAND? WHY? :'( Still can't find it mkreku, I assume I'll only be able to get it when it's around in US or the Netherlands.

October 24, 200718 yr So, what's a good way to import from the UK? What websites? Ebay will probably have a UK release up before long. Otherwise:http://www.amazon.co.uk/ "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

October 24, 200718 yr *shrugs* They started this game a bit before nwn2 and went gold by the time the first XP1 came out. I honestly didn't think this was going to be released, past 6+ months 'vaporware' came to mind when I saw mention of this title. None the less, good for them they did get it out. I just don't think it going to make much of a impact on the CRPG scene. Scene? What scene? There's still only about dozen titles released a year. There's nothing to make an impact upon. Anyways, I'm thinking about giving this the mid price treatment, mostly because I'm tied down by Civ 4 and others right now. What I've seen has looked good. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

I have no idea what the dollar to pound rate is right now but it will probably be a little expensive. Wals might play ball on this one.

October 24, 200718 yr I'm actually going ahead and trying out game.co.uk. Anyone have cause to stop me? Edit: Well, there seems to be difficulty ordering through them. They keep saying to check my address or payment details and it's all correct. Edit2: I almost went ahead and signed up with HMV, but realized I'm really putting too much effort into this. I'll wait to hear more about it before I start searching all over the internet for an trustworthy importer.

October 24, 200718 yr Come back and give us your thoughts on it. I have this title on my must-buy list. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
October 25, 200718 yr So, I ended up ordering it from HMV.com. Every now and then there's a game. A game I don't follow for even two moments. That I never show one iota of interest in and presume to be an overhyped piece of crud. And then, right when it's released, for no reason and based on little evidence, I must have it. Sometimes this works out to my benefit. STALKER, I actually laughed at the people excited about it, yet ended up loving it. FEAR, never saw a single thing interesting until the day I was desperate for a new shooter, yet I also love that. Sometimes this does not work out to my benefit. Fable, never was interested, after it was released I still wasn't interested, but one day I thought "what the hell." God, I hate Fable. Dear Witcher, please don't be a Fable.

October 25, 200718 yr http://www.gogamer.com/The-Witcher--I--PC-...1VVviewprod.htm I think that might be the import version, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure the (I) stands for import. I'm looking forward to this game too. Hopefully it will be good.
October 25, 200718 yr I heard it's point and click. Someone please dispel this absurdity. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
October 25, 200718 yr it looks like it's point and click - mostly due to the fact that it's build on the Bioware Aurora engine. Fortune favors the bald.
October 25, 200718 yr I heard it's point and click. Someone please dispel this absurdity. Old Skool point-and-click 2D adventure games = GOOD. Point-and-click hack n' slash RPGs = BAD.
October 25, 200718 yr If the point and click system is done right, it could be a fun action combat by its own right. Click-Click-Pause-Clicky-click click-Pause- GAAAH!
October 25, 200718 yr Read over at Gamebanshee.com that Europe print magazines are raving over it. I guess thats a good sign.
October 25, 200718 yr Author People on the Codex say the game is full of bugs. I really hope this will be fixed in the near future... Here's a nice video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7q7ZWStb0w and a comic strip: "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them! Quick, throw nuts!" -Minsc "I am a well-known racist in the Realms! Elves?

October 25, 200718 yr I'll probably buy the digital download from Atari's site. Is there any difference between that and this infamous import version?
October 25, 200718 yr If it wouldn't be for that horrible Transylvania setting, I'd actually get excited. Besides, I heard the game still makes heavy use of the numerous loading screens, heritated from the Aurora engine, right? Rain makes everything better.
October 25, 200718 yr Clearly you're forgetting that in heart of Transylvania, in the Vampire Hall of Fame-yeah, there's not a vampire zanier than...DUCKULA!
October 26, 200718 yr I watched a vid yesterday and supposedly you can use your keyboard but who knows if its standard wasd, etc. Never trust a European!

October 26, 200718 yr I'll probably buy the digital download from Atari's site. Is there any difference between that and this infamous import version? Yes, there is. All the infamous content will be cut. That means no green nipples for you, no sex-minigame, no sexcards and probably some other stuff, too. At the rpgwatch.com we've had some very nice discussions about this subject: Here's two of the relecant threads: http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread....50753#post50753 http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3014 If you can live with the nipples covered, and no sex mini-game as well as without stylized pictures of naked ladies (think as revealing as the 1940's-1950's pinup girls) you should be OK with the Atari download. Actually, the covered nipples could be alot more sexy than the swhon ones Please support http://www.maternityworldwide.org/ - and save a mother giving birth to a child. Please support, Andrew Bub, the gamerdad - at http://gamingwithchildren.com/
October 26, 200718 yr Who wants green nipples anyway! Bleahhhh! Nobody mentioned anything about the writing quality yet. We know it has long loading times, what about the actual roleplaying? Rain makes everything better.
October 26, 200718 yr Your order "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
