The Witcher 2 - Page 25

You somehow have the impression that the only tactic I ever used was rolling around. That's not the case, which makes your entire paragraph moot. For the fifth or so time, I simply found it to be the most effective strategy as it minimizes risk in favor of free damage. It's what I did to get a free clear in any encounter, due to laziness or what have you.
Most fights I used the protective sign and jumped about from enemy to enemy, which was more fun though less effective from a risk standpoint. It shouldn't be the case, rolling around like a moron should not be risk free and result in free wins, only sacrificing some patience and time from the player side.
Not once have I mentioned my skill level, how hard I deemed the game to be or anything similar. It's your assumptions clouding you, as you only read what you want to read.


As stated, I never once said I didn't try anything else. It's you, yet again, putting words in my mouth. But I presume lowering the difficulty will make it feel less clunky as well?


You don't know my skill set. Why do you think you do? Part of the problem with the tutorial, as i did mention, was that the pop ups would fade rather quickly, thus why I missed it at first. That was a tutorial issue, not a combat one (clarifying, it seems it's necessary when breaking things down to some).

Again, my skill set was never mentioned. Nor did I say I found the game to be too hard. You have to be quite adept at reading comprehension to completely miss the point this many times. The easiest way to clear the prologue is to use cheesy tactics that shouldn't work in the first place, thus the game encourages it. That's not good game design, and it's a fault in the combat.



Here, "Promotes me using that, hitting two people a bit, rolling around not hitting anything for 20 sec, using that again and so forth.". I believe "promotes me using" and "I need this to complete the level" are separate.


"If you play on hard it's okay if the tutorial is shit". The tutorial is shit on all difficulty levels, it's the same thing on normal. They can gimp every enemy to 1hp, the tutorial doesn't improve because of it. A lot of games have bad tutorials, I was surprised that CDProjekt made a worse one in W2 than in W1.

And do you want me to disregard everything but the first post now?


It's like every paragraph I have to explain to you what I didn't say and deny the garbage you're putting in my mouth.
I felt like the game encouraged me to play it in a boring way, and I'd say that's bad game design. If it changes later on I don't know, which I did mention. If you could find an armor that made you invincible in the first ten minutes of the game that would also be a flaw, despite that players have the option to "not use it". Think man, think!


No, but I do admit I am amazed at how poorly I must have phrased myself. I thought my first post was pretty clear, evidently it's very hard to grasp.

Not once have I said I believed the difficulty was a problem, I was annoyed that the game encouraged players to use boring as shit tactics as it was completely risk free and well within the limits of the game, which I deemed to be a game design flaw (which might even out later on, as I even said in my first post). It felt less like playing against good enemies and more like I simply had to ask myself why I wouldn't abuse the AI some more, it's so easy after all.

My last reply here, if you feel strongly enough keep repeating the same shit over and over send a PM my way
