Words fail to describe...
From the moment I saw the intro/outro cinematic of this game used in an unrelated fan made music video on youtube set to Manowars Die With Honor...after playing the game that song did kind of fit...interest was piqued about this game. After looking into it I found almost NO bad review for a game that from its player base is almost universally liked. I have to say though...this is in my opinion the BEST singleplayer RPG. As story goes it is immersing - I prefer games that are story driven above all else so cant wait for Witcher 2 whose trailer is definitely interesting.Aside from a few battles that proved quite the headache...kikimore queen comes to mind...many of the more pitched ones definitely entertaining while the accompanying soundtracks compliment perfectly. I have to say though that maybe the most epic piece is Frozen Reflections which makes me almost sad I played through on easy. But then again, plenty of opportunity to run through it again at higher difficulty.The Grand Master got me thinking, regarding the amulet. When Alvin was last seen in the village near Lakeside, he teleported away out of fright, maybe to another timeline according to Triss. I wonder...could it be that the two are one in the same? Interesting possibility to get the cogs turning upstairs.In any case, EXCELLENT game and I look forward to repeated runs through it and trying different combinations of alignment and decisions. Geralt is now one of my favorite game characters...and hope to be book ones too since I plan on getting the books that this is all expands on.On another note - How do you manage to brand runes into swords properly? Couldnt quite figure this out so they just sat in my inventory.
