I was skeptical that they could make a open world game this giant and keep the charm, but from videos and stuff it seems like they did. I guess I'm gonna start witching things next week, and not stop until nothing is left unwitched.

When I played Witcher 2 on the PC I had a much weaker computer and had to turn everything way down, but it didn't matter since the visual triumph of the game was stuff like costume design which wasn't a property of fancy technology. edit: and the visual part itself was nothing compared to how interesting the character interactions and quest goals and stuff were.

Who was that dwarf dentist in the first game? I want to see him back, just because up to that point I had never encountered a dentist, dwarf or otherwise, in a fantasy RPG.

The main thing I want to know about combat is whether they did something about the seemingly arbitrary pauses in animation when you say, get done sword swinging and throw a bomb. I never figured out what that was supposed to mean in 2. Was it a bug, or intentional, or what? edit: I guess the closest recent thing to the current...discussion I can remember is about the lighting system in Dark Souls 2. I remember people getting pretty internet angry about that too. Samurai Sanders fucked around with this message at 04:33 on May 16, 2015 |

The Sharmat posted:It was a bug and it used to be even worse IIRC. Hope it's gone completely and forever in the next game. edit: regarding dicks, that might end up being the literal last stand for gender inequality in media, after everything else is taken care of.

I'd be so much more likely to believe claims of viral marketing if the game wasn't self-published by the developer.

Can I still manually switch between swords? Was there ever even a practical reason to do that in the previous games? I don't think I ever encountered a fight with both people and monsters at the same time.

Maybe is inevitable; threads about games that are released a week or less away always turn into some kind of poo poo. edit: is the thread title a reference to this argument? If so, what's the rest of it mean?

I can totally accept that sometimes small unimportant things can be a symbol of large important things and thus worth discussing, but this time is that second thing even that large or important?

Picked up my year old third playthrough of Witcher 2 in the beginning of chapter 1, forgot to pick up my swords when I left the party, and got beat up by those guys waiting on the other side of the tunnel thing. I guess witching isn't like riding a bike; you can forget.

In 1 and 2, the best equipment you could get was just some jacket or sword used by a famous person; I didn't see any indication that it was anything but just well-engineered. I like it that way.

This is a linguistics related question, but what's with all the pronoun dropping in the English version of the game? English is not generally considered a pro-drop language.
