The GTX460 on my laptop runs it really well. Sigh for Quen... my most beloved spell :p

Played all of them.. and more. Witcher 2 is still better then all of them. Only Planescape Torment, Fallout 1 and 2 and maybe BG2 are better.

In case someone's interested, a new patch came out with a new DLC, the ability to store items at the inn, better performance for nvidia cards (although my GTX 460 still hates this game) and perhaps most importantly some rebalancing.

I don't know if the prologue is easier, but the game seems MUCH harder where I am (end of chapter 2) on hard difficulty. I used to be able to cast infinity igni and adrenaline, which was ridiculously easy, now it seems the bar fills much slower. Quen has also been nerfed.

I think these are really good changes, I'm glad it takes me centuries to finish an RPG ^^

That's just bad taste man... Sure the Witcher is nice but you just can't compare Baldurs Gate 2 with this or any game in modern time, they're just not on the same level on terms of depth, immersion, CHOICE (this is the most important, you get to play the way you want to unlike all of todays games).

You might think it's a better game, depending on what you measure ; Tits, graphics, it is. But on all the other fronts BG2 and the likes are just much better rpgs.

Baldurs Gate ok, even DA1 for those who prefer company-based RPG, but...Morrowind? OBLIVION??? BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! You made my day, thanks.

...and that "it honestly blows my mind that a ton of bad language, a few sex scenes and pretty graphics is all a game developer needs to hype up sales"

It honestly blows my mind that western players are in majority morons, retards, imbeciles, idiots, cretins etc.
It blows my mind that they see something exciting in choping heads off or ripping hearts, but they cannot accept the strong langue or one naked nipple.
It blows my mind that showing naked lake nimph, who lives all her life in lake, where she doesnt need any kind of cloths and wasnt grow in a fucking victorian, politicaly corect XIX century, is taken as a cheap shot to hype up sales.
It blows my mind that western players cannot accept word "fuck" but they like TOTALLY RETARDED, SHORT AND FLAT DIALOGS OF OBLIVION or just retarded in DRAGON AGE 2!!!
It blows my mind that they cannot accept the scene when someone cuts the balls off to get revenge, or a veteran soldier fucking a bitch in the whorehouse due to post-war demoralisation, but accept a turbo-idiotic scene in Mass Effect WHEN THE ASSARI JUST PEACEFULLY LETTING YOUR PLAYER TO EXECUTE HER without even trying to argue!
It shocks me that someone complaining about boring fights in TW1 or 2 and doesnt see how monotone is combat system in OBLIVION!

I can understand that someone doesnt like TW or TW2. But I'M CURRIOUS WHO THE HELL IS PERSON, WHO THINKS THAT OBLIVION IS A GOOD CRPG OR EVEN A GOOD GAME AT ALL?

Witcher 1 is around 40 hours of gameplay for one playthrough


you have to get used to the combat system a bit but after that it is pretty cool.

Does the combat system differ a lot from Witcher 2?

I really don't think the Witcher 1's combat system aged well at all... I tried re-playing it and just could not really dig it anymore. Everything else about TW1 is great though if you can get past that.

two thumbs down for this game,
-dialogue is childish and often repetitive when entering areas, found myself muting it in certain areas. Sad over use of profanity rather prefer something more intellectually stimulating.
-Hard to believe a game in this day and age would still use invisible doors when another character opens it before you, your also blocked by plants in some areas and jumping up and down cliffs is a mechanical experience.
- climbing up and down ladders passing through other characters is... I mean, just don't let them do it if you can't fix it.
- navigating around the world for quests is frustrating
- when you die you return to last save and have to redo inventory and drink potions, repeat story line... rather more appealing to just turn it off at that point than repeat the last 10 minutes.
-drinking potion system is a joke, and crafting adds very little to the game, time consuming and you must have foresight in order to know when to drink on. Its not necessary since the game gets easier as you go along, just pick up a sword and you'll be fine, don't even bother picking anything else up that isn't a quest item it just wastes time when you have to drop things because you feel as if you need them later on when you don't.
-Completing the game ends abruptly and is a mystery, I'm still confused as to why it ended the way it did because I thought it was just getting going. I wont be going back to it screw wasting time on other story lines. Game was a lot harder at the start and way too easy at the end.
-Over hyped and majority of my friends have given up during Act 1.

-On the positive side, the graphics were good, I'm sure some people appreciated the sex scenes, at least they got something for their money.
