Slowtrain Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 - there were mentions of elves, fairies and dragons Tolkienesque it is not, however. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 - long white hair on men is not, nor has it ever been, cool. Like one of the other characters better? If so, I could upload a quick mod that would enable you to play as that person. That sort of thing only takes about a second or two now that I've gotten all the files extracted and I'm familiar with the process. "Geez.

Does it force you to restart a game if you do this? DOes it cause problems for existing games? Does it mess up any of the animations that Geralt's avatar uses?

Kaftan Barlast Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 IF you switch to another characer model, you're stuck with that characters outfit, right? Or does it show up on the new char when you switch armor?

Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) Does it force you to restart a game if you do this? DOes it cause problems for existing games? Does it mess up any of the animations that Geralt's avatar uses? It does not require you to restart your game, nor does it mess up any of the animations. IF you switch to another characer model, you're stuck with that characters outfit, right? Or does it show up on the new char when you switch armor? At the moment you are stuck with what the character is wearing. EDIT: This is because The Witcher uses a new skin and model for each armor, like Bloodline, making it easier to change but hard to adapt for a new character (it would be easier to simply re-skin the person you switched to or make a new armor).

Azure79 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I love the Igni sign. I like the combat, but I can see why other people might not find it as fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshugger Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I just dug out my old copy. Now, should i take it that i have to register at the main site somewhere to get all the enhanced updates. Is it the forum? Or have i gone completely blind? //EDIT: Nevermind, i found the enhanced edition for only 29 Edited September 26, 2008 by Meshugger "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionavar Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Does anyone know if there is a simple way to update the EE? I bought the EE edition but really do not want to download the Gig patch solely for the Blood Fix & NOCD fix. Is this possible?

Fionavar Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Has anyone else had a hard time finding a copy? Future Shop and Best Buy in Canada appear to not carry it, and EB keeps saying they should get a shipment in the next couple weeks. I figured since I couldn't find anyone with a copy of Duckman Season 1&2 either, I would just order it online, but the only canadian online store I figured would have both was Amazon.ca, but it doesn't carry The Witcher. If you have not found it - you should now. The release date was pushed back in Canada. I got mine @ an EB Games retail front fwiiw.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) The blood fix can be found here. And a no-dvd fix was here.

Gorgon Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I bought the witcher on my way home and after rooting around in some east European language site and pressing the 'Squingij' button I think I'm downloading an Enhanced edition patch, plus a Language patch. 3 easy steps my arse, what am I supposed to to with these. In what order, where do I run them from. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgon Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 So i downloaded the 1 gig patch and registered the game, the patch doesn't even have an icon, looks like a DOS batch process, I scanned it for Viruses I ran it and it froze.

Kaftan Barlast Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Wouldnt it work if you downloaded a copy of the enhanced game without cracking it and then used it with your original disc?

Gorgon Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 The patch has an icon and looks like a program after a reboot, so it might be ok after all.

Gorgon Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Looks promising, although the combat is retarded, I was kinda hoping for something better after having just played Gothic 3.

Slowtrain Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Overall, though not the greatest combat ever, the combination of fighting styles, special attacks, movement options, plus sign usage and bombs, gives enough variety to keep me interested. I mean it is certainly better than combat in Oblivion or even the IE games or Fallout. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.
