Dice poker, dont use same engine on The Witcher 2

hi,I'm just asking you not to repeat same mistake. The first game had a funny (a little too ez fine) dice poker game. The patch on this make it a really... I mean, a waste of your developpement money! Dont waste time on a game pre-picking the winner and letting players have 5% chance to win! oh and 5% is against a noob ranked player!Please, if ppl want to hack and reload, it's ther problem. imo, hate this mini game a lot since Enhanced.

I'm having a hard time understanding what your talking about. I have the fully patched Witcher Enchanced, and still win more often than not at dice poker.

Hopefully not too off topic here, but I hated dice poker in TW. I found it quite boring. IMO it needs to be streamlined. Less time waiting for the opponent to roll, a chance to go second instead of first all the time, and for gods sake, if the NPC has a winning hand after our second roll do we really have to wait for the NPC to roll again? It's won the hand so move on to the next round or whatever.

Yeah, I didn't exactly love it either.I wish there was an option to skip the NPC's turn (i.e. only see what dices he threw, and not watch how he throws them) and if he gets something like a Six High Straight or a Five- or Six-of-a-kind in the first round, you'd just go to the next round without having to wait.

The biggest problem is that it's rigged against us. If it was fair I'd be okay with it, but having to reload cause I run out of money trying to beat a novice or professional player is not fun. Heck, I even gave up on the gambler in the Inn in Act 1.

Hi guys!Well, I liked the dice poker in The Witcher. At the beginning you were able to make a lot of money with it and buy for example every book you want.I also disagree that's the NPCs are unfair until professional. At that point things got very strange and the NPCs had a lot of luck.Furthermore it is funny that a dice that is lying on an other dice will be rerolled which is sometimes very annoying..

@xmephistoWelcome to the forum, fellow witcher lover. You may want to check out the latest gameplay video released. The dice poker mechanics have been changed somewhat.http://tw2.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=31092.0

Well I am at the beginning around the start of chapter 2 and havent yet won a single round of dice poker,and everytime it seems that the npc gets to reroll the dice they dont want but I only get 1 roll so I am not understanding the game at all.Also when I finally got a decent hand of 2 pair the npc rerolled its bad dice and came up with the win with 3 pair.Cant say that I am liking the minigame at all.I am however loving the regular game immensly,I dont know why it took me so long to try it IMHO.

Save before every dice gameWhen it comes your turn to roll after selecting the bet then click on the dice you don`t want to keep and click roll dice in lower right corner
