geralt's hair and facial hair gradually get longer as days pass and you eventually look like a homeless person and everyone calls you gross. there are barbers in the game that can clean you up lmao

If you do the main quest areas in reverse or shuffled up orders you get some different dialogue.

you can go into some corner of the world that has nothing to do with the main quest and stumble into this huge epic story with all sorts of well choreographed cutscenes and well designed dungeons and its like poo poo it makes you want to dig into every nook and cranny cause you might miss really awesome content reiterating that every inch of this game, someone cared about it, someone poured their hearts into it, even the dumbest little quests. and theres hundreds of them. im shocked

It's cool being in the overworld searching out of the way locale and then stumbling into Witcher contracts. Ran into a tough fight just by hunting down Witcher gear.

tip: pay attention to what merchants sell cause sometimes they sell huge inventory space upgrades and other crucial stuff if you help out keira and complete her sidequests she sells a potion that lets you respec your character for a pretty penny

Seeing True Gamers who I respect declaring that they couldn't get into the first two games sends a chill of sorrow down my spine. The first game is rough but if you can get through half the other crap ya'll post about you can deal with the jankiness and experience really solid quests and plot. Second game is great through-and-through.

In Witcher 2 this guy is taunting you and one of the responses you can choose is "Very funny." but when you pick it Geralt says "gently caress you."

The gameplay is also kinda clunky in 2 and I played it at a younger and more naive time in my life. Highly doubt I could revisit it now, and everything I've seen about Witcher 3 seems only slightly better

witcher 2 has a lot of problems, that game is only playable if you mod Geralt's max carry weight to be a crazy number cause otherwise the entire gathering+crafting portion of the game is a loving nightmare there's mmo "kill this many endregas" quests, the combat is basically just spamming quen over and over, your dodge roll is slower than your run speed until you reach the mid-game and are able to upgrade it, i could think of a million little turds like that that sod up the experience still has good writing and stuff and it's pretty as hell, plus, i mean, you can get the game for like 3 loving dollars. but you might need to do some minor modding to make the gameplay enjoyable and that sucks.

1 plays like Runescape and I uninstalled it after 3 minutes. I'm amazed 2 was even by the same developers.

the second major boss in witcher 2 is a complete surprise fight against another witcher who has all of your same powers except they're maxed out and hes incredibly hard and the game saves right when it starts so if you werent prepared youre just kind of hosed

If you can deal with monster hunter and xenoblade you can deal with Witcher 2's systems which honestly isn't bad. Did you play it at launch because the Enhanced Edition fixed a bunch of inventory stuff and I think ingredients weigh less too.01011001 posted:1 is weird because every chapter is progressively better than the last. the gameplay is not good though It does get much better as it goes, that sunbaked haunted field that was also next door to a lake inhabited by fishmen who worship an old one was a standout. It had some really good plot threads that are built up throughout the game, which most people don't know about since no one finished it.

I played it at launch on my old laptop at 640x480. I never opened the inventory or crafted anything because I couldn't read any of the text.

I picked up the first game after hearing about it post- enhanced edition so I knew with Witcher 2 to wait because CD projekt releases good games with epically bad decisions that are patched 6-12 months later. I think the first game they actually rewrote and rerecorded the entire script.

It was cool that Chapter 3 was like 30 minutes long and the final boss was a series of QTEs so that your build or playstyle had 0 bearing on the finale of the game.

witcher 2 got a pretty crazy revamp with the enhanced edition, completely free too. they made geralt control like he was in an action game instead of like a loving boat and rebalanced many things but, the game's still littered with dumb stuff and the combat is at best dull and repetitive. witcher 3 makes the combat really interesting, mostly because you control very tightly and you need to use different tactics for different creatures which really mixes it up. witcher 2 you just maxed out sword damage and spammed quick attack on everything
