Oblivion didn't have mounted combat, except with mods added. As for the Witcher, mounted combat wouldn't really suit Geralt since Witchers are not trained to ride, traditionally. They are trained to fight with a longsword on foot in many ways, according to the situation. In the end, Witchers are...

And he'll bring Star Wars fans flocking to the movie. Seriously now? Hayden Christensen? Someone proposed Christian Bale, I think that would be a better alternative for Geralt. I especially like it when he pulls off that cold look he had in Equilibrium. Great movie, that. You should look it up.

NPCs in Oblivion have a rather...unorthodox way of reacting to you when you happen to steal something. Say you're in a tavern and you just happen to steal a fork. The moment you put your hand on that item of cutlery (you can just grasp it and move it around, you don't even have to really steal...

Don't be too sad Hamratus. Just by having your story between the best ones written (it was published on the site, some stories didn't receive even that reward) means that you are a skilled writer who can duke it out with some of the best on these boards. I am in your situation as well but I am...

The results are finally in! I'm glad to see that my fic was nominated as one of the best. Congratulations to Rhian, Vincalis and Corvinius. Comparing their stories to mine I can see that they are all much longer. Well, perhaps I'm better suited to writing shorter stories than most short stories...

Hopefully the actual results will be posted soon. I'm quite curious to see the entries and who won since I enjoy writing fan fiction in my spare time.

I thought two teeth stood for the hilts of Coen's silver sword which comes into Geralt's hands during the game. I mean, those two hilts, upturned as they are, slightly resemble teeth. They even have little nail-like things jutting from them if you look closely. I thought that maybe someone...

I think 3 teeth could stand for a pitchfork. I've you've played the game you will hear this quite often. I mean, every time Geralt meets someone he knew like Zoltan or Dandelion they say that some peasant stabbed Geralt with a pitchfork during a pogrom in Rivia. At least that's what I remember.

I've had enough of pseudo-realistic 3D rendering after watching the recent "Beowulf" movie by Robert Zemeckis. To be honest I'd prefer a miniseries to a full blown movie, a miniseries that could be broadcast on HBO, since they have good miniseries with mature content (Rome, Californication, The...

Krav Maga isn't a sport like other martial arts since it is simply a fighting technique meant to dispatch your opponent as quickly and as effectively as possible, no matter the situation. As was said before, it's meant to be dirty. Regarding martial arts, as far as I know there is poor support...

What's it about? Actually, that was rather blunt and rather indiscrete. Some people might think I'm fishing for ideas so I'll rephrase my question. Did it feature Geralt? If yes, how so? As a main character, secondary character, tertiary character etc. ?Mine did, but it was something very...

It isn't really glitchy. It might be slightly annoying but you just have to be careful with the commands after you write your story. It's much like posting a reply, except instead of the "post" button you have the "save" button, which practically posts your fan fic on the site. Make sure however...

And nonhuman terrorism, war crimes against humans and general rasism. The Scoia'tael might also stand for other things but there's not much knowledge that we can draw from the game. Of course, I'm not saying the Order is any better. These two factions give what they receive, in the end.

Hm...strange. My computer can barely run Crysis but I've never had a problem whatsoever with The Witcher. I heard a lot of complaints from various sources that the game is bugged and the loading times are murder but these things either don't happen to me or they aren't that problematic. I've...

From the looks of it, Siegfried mostly takes Geralt himself on the right path, in his own eyes at least.

Hm, so that must be why Geralt and all the other witchers from Kaer Morhen have wolf medallions. From what I saw in the prologue Eskel and Lambert both had the same medallions as Geralt. So that must be the reason why Geralt is called White Wolf right? Because he's part of the Wolf school...and...

An expansion or even a future game set in Redania would be cool. King Radovid the VI-th did tell you to visit his court after all. Dandelion did mention the fact that Geralt left Vizima after the war between the nonhumans and the Order.Oh, and a cool thing to add to the game which would be a...

Hm, an interesting review and point of view as well. I for one have only read a translation of "The Lesser Evil" which was a short story from "The Last Wish". Even though the translation was poor (I'm sure the professional translation from Golancz is better, no matter how hard it is to translate...

Well, from the looks of it, it either takes a long time to evaluate a submission or it takes a very short time but submissions aren't shown. Perhaps they will show submissions when the contest ends, so every fan fic can be seen.

We all have our prefferences but I, personally, think that things such as realism somewhat set both The Witcher game and the novels by Sapkowski apart from other works of the same ilk. Of course, we are all allowed to have an oppinion on a matter.
