My next pc is going to be an open-air case screwed to the wall that I just hit with an air can every few days. Plenty of room to breathe.

Yep. Melee card, big 5 on the top left, nothing else to really glean from it aside from the quote.

There's also "Kaedweni Siege Expert", "Sheldon Skaggs", "Blue Stripes Commando", and "Keira Metz" (I just realized that all these sorceresses are probably a bitch to keep track of for people who haven't read the books).

The animations for conversations are really great. Only short glimpses in this video of course, but I couldn't detect any uncanny valley.

Rocking a dusty, long-overdue-a-cleaning Antec Nine Hundred myself. It makes the Xbox look like a handheld.

Yeah I know, though I've been saying "nah, I'll wait until [next CPU release] to upgrade" a few times now. Not sure though if that's because Sandy Bridge is still that good or if Intel hasn't been pushing things as hard because they have little competition from AMD now.

I noticed a scene in the new trailer that looks almost like Geralt is having a three-way with Triss and Yen. I could be mistaken but...drat Geralt! Even sorceresses have feelings! On the other hand, if specific choices in both W1 and W2 import and Voltron together to make the ultimate sorcerorgy scene in the series...then i'm all for it.

Yeah, I still have an i7-2700K and I'm not the least bit worried on that front.

Graphics card is a GTX 770 with 4 GB VRAM so I probably won't crank everything up to Ultra,but I'm okay with that.

I'm 90% sure that was just a dream.
Can you imagine Yen letting Geralt have a threesome with her and Triss?

God drat, why does this have to come out in the middle of the week...

I played through W2 with the polish VA and subtitles but seems there's a lot more background chatter in this one (and a lot more random people running around), any idea if they'll be subtitled or if I'd be better off putting up with the english VAs?

I found a couple of the english VAs in W2 a bit grating so I decided to give the polish a shot, I might have got annoyed at them too if I spoke the language but the tone of the lines along with the subtitles was enough to make me happy :v:

I'll give english a go and just not be a big baby instead.

The main thing that you can miss for 100% if I remember is a quest regarding a specific dwarf during his chapter, due to another quest possibly making that NPC dissapear.

Another easy-to-miss thing is the quest that is required to unlock the secret boss in act 3, since there's no breadcrumb leading to it on Iorveth's path.

It's called Gwent and it's supposed to be kinda sorta like Hearthstone-lite.

The German dude who did the massive preview really liked it, other than that, we don't know too much about it yet.

One thing I've noticed is that the voice actor of Gerralt seems to get better with each game. He was incredibly wooden in the first game. But in the first 25 minute video on IGN he sounded like he had a lot more range.

Because tone is hard to convey in a four word comment.
If 3/4 people didnt understand it to be a joke, it might not be a well-phrased joke :v:

But anyway, The Witcher 3. They said the story this time will be more personal and less political, right? I wonder if the whole game will be about finding Ciri.

Maybe I haven't kept up on the info about the game, but the card game seemed like a new thing I haven't heard about? Same with the "kill monsters, help people settle the land" bit, which seems ambitious as hell but pretty cool if it works out well.

Yeah I don't think they have given any information about minigames prior to that trailer. Same for the "living world" thing.
What was the game in the books where an integral part was threatening people with stick beatings? I don't remember if that was a card game.
