dragonfly April 15, 2008 Share dragonfly Member April 15, 2008 Anybody play it? What are your thoughts? http://www.thewitcher.com/ http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/thewitcher/ You could always try out the demo, though it's like 2 gigs to download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest April 15, 2008 Share lousiest Member April 15, 2008 (edited) I like how you don't always have a clear-cut "right" path to choose. Also, there's a mod somewhere that changes the dialog (which has been altered to cater to the masses) to the original text, which does a better job at explaining the story. My only complain is that most of the time, you're forced to stick with your two swords, which kinda defeats the purpose of it being an RPG. Edit: I'd definitely go with the demo. It'll really give you a sense of what to expect. Edited April 15, 2008 by lousiest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean April 15, 2008 Author Share Unclean Member April 15, 2008 I started the download last night... should be able to install it today. Lousiest - you're talking about a "right" path. Is it a good/evil thing like Fable? Or is it more along the lines of "you have to do X, Y, and then Z, not Z, X, Y"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass April 15, 2008 Share Sgt. Slaughterâ„¢-TopBrass Member April 15, 2008 I played the demo a while back and I was not terribly impressed by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest April 15, 2008 Share lousiest Member April 15, 2008 There's no clear cut good/evil. E.g. at one point, you'll have to decide whether to kill someone, but it's not so clear that that person deserves to be killed, as there are evidence that points both ways. And your choices do influence the outcome of the story (there are key scenarios where your actions during these determine the story's path). Yeah, my roommate tried the demo and he didn't like it either, hence do try it before committing to buying the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless April 16, 2008 Share Clueless GC Alumni April 16, 2008 Dude, I LOVED this game, I am actually getting ready to play it again making different choices. There are 3 possible outcomes, as far as the ending goes, but you can make other choices that have influence during the game. The main choice will come when you have to basically decide who's side you are on when the war comes. I thought the game was pretty awesome, that might be because I have never played a "true" rpg game and it had enough of an fps feel to it to make it enjoyable and introduce me to a different style of game than I am used to....so I cant judge from the rpg point of view, and that is the crowd that seems disappointed. I give it 2 thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC April 16, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member April 16, 2008 I can't wait for the new Fallout either. I installed Arcanum two days ago and bought Vampires: The Masquerade on Steam as well. Need my RPG fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack May 17, 2008 Share bushwack Member May 17, 2008 I can't wait for the new Fallout either. I installed Arcanum two days ago and bought Vampires: The Masquerade on Steam as well. Need my RPG fix. I loved Arcanum! I didn't care for the first Vampires game so I skipped Masquerade. I'm looking forward to the new Fallout, looking good so far. Has to be better then Hellgate London. I downloaded The Witcher demo, I'll play it sometime today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack May 18, 2008 Share bushwack Member May 18, 2008 The beginning of the game almost drove me off, just action and cinematics plus the combat system was totally irking me. But once I made it to town and started doing some adventuring the game grew on me. Wish I had 50 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldan June 20, 2008 Share aldan Member June 20, 2008 If you never tried V:TM, you should. The first one wasn't so good, but this one does a much better job. As for Arcanum, eeeessss goooood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz.e.rus September 29, 2008 Share Laz.e.rus Member September 29, 2008 so, anyone tried the new and improved Witcher? I thought about it, but not so positive here....\ check it out on steam. Lots of improvemnents...worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz.e.rus September 29, 2008 Share Laz.e.rus Member September 29, 2008 anyone? I thought it looked cool, but the response here wasnt so great, but I dont think these posts related to the new and improved version. Whats the total playtime look like?

anonymo September 29, 2008 Share anonymo Member September 29, 2008 anyone? I thought it looked cool, but the response here wasnt so great, but I dont think these posts related to the new and improved version. Whats the total playtime look like? I haven't played it myself but I know people who did/do and commented on the new update, supposedly it makes a huge difference. That being said there are a few flaws the updated doesn't fix and from the garbled rant of rage that I heard about the update, it's specifically concerning the camera angles. Mmmm I love being marginally helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwack September 29, 2008 Share bushwack Member September 29, 2008 I want the import enhanced version but I may just wait for Fallout 3. Arcanum FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless September 29, 2008 Share Clueless GC Alumni September 29, 2008 I loved this game the first time around and i will definitely be purchasing the enhanced edition....actually, i am looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringadon September 30, 2008 Share Ringadon Member September 30, 2008 for people waiting for the new fallout but still have your fallout 2 disk I'd recommend Killap's Fallout 2 Restoration Project He read all the published stuff about it and wrote code for everything that got left out of the actual release. It also fixes all the bugs that crop up when you try to run it on newer compies (that OS and processors). I'm really digging it. (getting armor for dogmeat is win in my book) Ring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
