Did anyone else find the "Siege" of Vergen disappointing? Contains slight spoilers about the two games!!! How does The Witcher 2 start out? With an impressive, realistic assault on the besieged La Valette Castle. The men battling each other in the field; the cramped, brimming with...

If there is some great battle between the Northern Kingdoms and the Nilfgaardians, I very much doubt that we'll take part in it. I just see a load of technical difficulties around it - from a limit of characters on screen, to the much more serious problem of what choices you'd consider as canon...

Don't think it will add anything to the game. This isn't Diablo or Sacred where you have to grind for loot over and over again.

If you're using Vista or Windows 7, right-click on the game icon and select "Run as Administrator". That is, if the account you are using is an administrator account. (you can check from Control Panel -> User Accounts)

Many of those mentioned here make it in my list, especially the trolls. I loved the part with the male troll in Chapter 2, where he was complaining about Kaedweni. "Kaedweni sour. Kaedweni shite." The intonation and overall tone just make me laugh seriously every time I hear it. (English VO)...

I have to agree with this. I remember a conversation between Geralt and Zoltan in the first game, I think it was during Chapter II - where Geralt goes along the lines "It will be slightly philosophical...". In a nutshell, he explained how once, when the Witchers were first conceived, things...

Cool story, bro.

For me, the Epilogue totally redeemed the atmosphere of the Witcher 2 in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, it's doubtlessly one of the best RPG's to hit the PC, but throughout the game I kept comparing it to its predecessor. And I just felt more emotionally connected with the first game. However, the...

Well, I've only played the game once so far on Hard difficulty and I have to say, it wasn't as bad as most people describe. I'm a seasoned player of the first game, but past experience I've noticed is of little bearing - everything is just so different. That's where my main problem was - the...

It's a problem of society, not just a country's rating system. It's OK to kill droves of people, animals and whatever else that crosses your path, loot them, butcher them and so forth. However, if someone actually sees a tit, hears ******" (see? even here its censored; f-word) or, god forbids...

I'm probably miles off, but could it be the group of Salamandra that ambush you on the Bridge (the one where Mikul is standing guard) in Chapter 1?

This trend has me worried, I have to say. I don't get what the deal with the shortened dialogue is. More cinematic? Yes. Less stuff to read? Yes. Faster flow? Guess so. BUT, that is now what makes an RPG. This genre has always been the intelligent gamer's domain, people who like reading, people...

Looks amazing. It also scares the shit out of my old warhorse-ish PC....good thing I still have time for an upgrade :P

Right, sorry for being sooo late with this, but I had a lot of stuff on my plate. On a similar note - why did nobody bother to use the chance and give their riddle-making skills a go? :P Anyway..."Wisdom tempered by age,but he is not a scholar, nor a mage. A master of the blade, he taught many...
