I think there are merits to TW2, but there are plenty of things I don't like. It's also a much beaten down topic so I don't think I need to talk about it anymore. Loved TW1 more than TW2.
I love it for its storytelling and great gfx.
I hate it for its console controls.
I swore an oath to NEVER buy a xbox controler for any game. Any game at all. Along comes TW2 and my resolve is fading. I hate TW2 for that.
WHY tell me why? Looting bags on the floor, I damn hate it. Console mini-games like punching the guard or escaping the dragon hitting the right button as it is displayed on screen. COME ON! Ah hates that as well.
I dislike console games for exactly that - but I do not hate console games, because I can simply avoid them.
And by the way: having a visual locking symbol on targets is great when flying F16 or Spaceships, not when swinging a sword. Console jockeys do not care about that, I know. Casual gamers are like this.
One year I have waited until I restarted TW2 Enhanced. I really hoped some issues would be resolved. Now I have the feeling some have gotten worse.
Please people. For the next game. Decide who you want to adress. Console casuals or PC enthusiasts.
Gods it is such a shame...
Edit: please apologize my ranting, I have no intention of upsetting console gamers, some of my friends are and consoles sure have their merits. But the limitations consoles put on PC gaming have been discussed in length. To experience them in a game like TW2 is very frustrating.

No need to apologize for your opinion. I understand you very well. The game pad controls for the pc version of TW2 is the only thing I absolutely don't like. It kills my replay desire. The engrossing story, characters, living locations and non linear plot are in inward urge who say... c'mon, don't be a fusspot
Witcher 1 and 2 both awesome games, my favorites, cant wait for witcher 3!!
I would like to start off by saying that TW2 is one of the best looking games on xbox360. Casual gamers who own a xbox 360, Casual gamers buy wii's and PS3's not xbox's. The xbox 360 is a great gaming machine. I wouldn't be able to play games like TW2 on a 7 year old pc. I also think it's pretty funny that some people on here think that the xbox version of the game some how ruined the pc version. The pc version came out a full year before the xbox version. I guess my xbox has magical time traveling, pc game destroying powers. Lmao
Loved it. Enthralled 100% of the story. Attempting dark mode now with a different path.
Hate the looting, medallion spam/cooldown where it fizzes, and doors/ladders
The item design in this game is also incredible, I love the unique look and the armour sets are brilliant.
The continued development and respect for the customer/gamers is also a massive plus, something few developers seem to care about these days.
Cheers for a fantastic game.

You can also meditate near outdoor fire places. If they are burning, you can just click on the fireplace. If they are out, you can reignite them using igni (fire) sign (if you have it), or just by clicking on them when you have flint in your inventory (easily found in containers and corpses, but also purchasable). Keep in mind that each flint is used up, so you will need to resupply.kainthedevil said:
aha, thanks for that information... that should put an end to two things on my hate list then...
just the ridiciolous fighting system and the inventory left... and the inventory i can probably live with.. ^^
will give the witcher a few more hours of active gameplay, but if Geralt doesn't start attacking when i want him to then he will not get any favors from me...

Witcher has a couple of problems, no doubt. At the time of playing, the number one thing that annoyed the shit out of me was the lack of information of what to do and even when. Some npcs are only available in a certain location, during a very specific time. Some quests couldn't be completed if you completed another quest before it. Then you could only complete one out of two quests. Things like that, were god damn annoying beyond belief. I was alt-tabbing every minute to make sure I didn't fuck up or miss anything. Obviously, I messed up anyway.
The mysterious nature of the quests could sometimes get to me. As could the grinding nature of the combat and some of the quests. Overall however, The Witcher is truly phenomenal and I'm really glad I gave it a chance. I bought it years ago but didn't play it because my computer was far too shit to run it. So I put it on the shelf. Then W2 came out and I still haven't gotten around to playing it. Then I finally said fuck it! Time to embark on an adventure of a life time!
And I did. Witcher did not disappoint, despite frustrating the shit out of me from time to time. Witcher 2 was perfect. When I finally got a hang of the combat, the game flowed so well, it's insane. Can't wait for Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk. I'm throwing my damn money on the screen, gief moi gamez!

I have yet to play the witcher 2 but I already know I will love it cuz I'm a RPG fanatic...the witcher 1 i'm currently on chapter 1...and my mouse is rather messed up so I had to hold off playing it but I may watch it instead of playing it on the computer and then I can finally get into The Witcher 2 for Xbox 360.
I love the Witcher. I do wish they would make some expansions for witcher 1 or 2. Like some sort of extra episode not directly linked to the main game.
Oh well, I can also just wait for Witcher 3

A lot of us wish this! It seems unlikely that CDPR will make any more adventures for TW1, though there's still a chance that they'll make an expansion pack for TW2.knootewoot said:
There are a lot of fan-made adventures for TW1, though. They're of variable quality -- some of them are about as good as the CDPR-made adventure "The Price of Neutrality," and some of them are, ah, less good.
You can find a list of the 19 fan-made adventures that are available in English here, and you can find one fan's review of them here.
Nice, thanks. I didn't know these existed. Looks great so I go try a few.
