@MadGizmo Are these Dutch words adequate to the timeline of the game? Then you should have an excellent translator for dialogues.I completely agree. For the last 10 days I've missed all my classes, didn't do any of the assignments or projects, didn't see any friends, basically all I did was play witcher, now I want MORE.HexenmeisterRaven said:
Wellllll, I can understand your frustration with WinDoze, but really .. are you suggesting that you'd rather load your OS off a 10-meg hard drive, tell the modem to dial the number, wait for connect, log into ONE BBS and check messages, log out, dial up a seperate number, check a different BBS (what we'd now call a 'web site', of course).. You're not seriously nostalgic for that method of "surfing the 'net", are you? :HexenmeisterRaven said:
And to all the other 'newbie witchers' in the Internet Guild of Witchers .. welcome!! IGoW? .. maybe Witcher's Guild International? Or .. WIG! That's it, we're all WIG members! I am playing the English version. There is no Dutch version as far as I know. But we Dutch don't mind to play the English versions of games. I have the feeling that it either has to do with the author or some history. Here is a sample: There is a monster in the game called a "Bloedzuiger" which means "Leech" or "Calotes versicolor" ("Oriental Garden Lizard") or "Blood Sucker". It's funny to see those words. Anyway... I'll leave it at. I was just curious.PetraSilie said:
I have checked that out and I have to admit that there is nothing you have mention in the book… I mean I haven’t found any other name of the BloedzuigerI have to check that in one of The Witcher Wikis let’s hope there is something mentionedPetraSilie said:ahaaa... I guess the Bloedzuiger is mentioned in the Monster artbook. Unluckily I don't have it, just had a chance looong time ago to cast a glimplse into it. Many monsters have a special background incl. their names and I think sth like what you said was mentioned about the Bloedzuiger
I had to laugh. I remember when getting 2- 5 1/4 floppy drives to talk to each other was an accomplishment, before there were ANY hard drives.

eace: .. and as for nostalgia / horror stories .. hehe .. I remember paying close to $150 for a Commodore-64 TAPE drive (used AUDIO cassettes! took 15-20 min to load a program!).. my first ever computer .. got a paper route to upgrade my mom and me to those 5.25" floppy drives you referred to, which cost close to $300 at the time, if I remember correctly. :dead: And on another 'I remember that' Off-Topic aside, I used to play AD&D quite a bit as well! Well, actually I always WANTED to play, but every time I suggested that someone else in our high-school clique should try Dungeon-Master-ing, I was always outvoted. Wish me luck on Chapter Five, everyone! Just started it .. at 2am this morning. :-[The registration didn't go all that smoothly though as I first tried to register a user name which was in use and the second one was fine but then the registration program claimed that my e-mail was already in use. So I tried to use the forgotten password but got a notification of "invalid activation code" or something like that when I used the link in my e-mail... So in the end I had to register with a THIRD login and use a different e-mail before I finally got it working! ;DBut anyways, now that adventure is done I gotta start playing this game! I ordered it a week ago and almost went crazy waiting for it to get here 
Wonderful! I'm very happy for you, and I assure you, as an unpaid non-celebrity, you should trust me instantly, of course when I say that The Witcher is the best RPG I've played in the past five years .. and it's right up there with Baldur's Gate series, in my own personal "RPG-to-beat List".HansVirtanen said:Heya all!This is Hansi from Finland... Yet another total n00b to the world of The Witcher as I've never played the original and just got the Enhanced Edition in mail an hour ago and registered it
I haven't finished it yet, and Chapter Four ended in an anti-climax, but I have high hopes for Chapter Five. eace:Congratulations on getting your own copy, and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! eace:Just posting to give you guys a big fat 'thank you' for the useful tips I found on this forum (especially the one that told me to delete the massive amount of save games every once in a while, having to wait 5 minutes+ from the main menu was not fun).
. Sapkowski is not doing too much fantasy these days but published a wonderful series about Hussites wars in Silesia (any other Silesian around)and by coincidence that's the area in Poland I come from. Highly recommended!!! Shame that you unPolish folks don't get the full translation of Polish text in the game - it's extremely rude, hilarious and interestic from semantic point of view - what are other language version like?Anyway I say big HOW R U folks and evening everyone :wave:I will try to keep in touch as much as i can...
I hope you will, because i like you already! :wave:TashuncaUitco said:I will try to keep in touch as much as i can...
