The Witcher came out about the same time as Mass Effect and that game has aged pretty well :hmm:

But I guess if it has an Indie look to it.

Trust us, Valmy. Have we ever lied to you? :P

:sleep:

NEVAH!

Anyone have any advice on how to get the Reasons of State quest? :unsure:

I loaded an old save, and did the Blindingly Obvious quest again and got Reasons of State.

It was a good quest.

valmy, the general consensus re: witcher 1 is that the first two chapters are really bland, but then the game becomes pretty awesome. I don't get witcher 2 hate -- thought it was fantastic

Witcher 1 was amazing all round I thought.
Witcher 2.... I dunno.  A bit on rails? I guess they also made the mistake of splitting the content into 2 paths, so you totally miss much of it, yet the finale is common to both so can be really odd.
I took the human path so never learned about the dragons identity.... but the finale assumed I did

I thought W1 was great, but agree that it probably hasn't aged all that well.  W2 I never got more than a couple of hours into, because the insistance that I stop playing an RPG to play a twitch interlude was just too much (I died about three times in the boxing scenario because I wasn't motivated to press random keys as fast as the game wanted me to and then put the game away forever).  I really want to get into W3, but the beginning is pretty hard to get through.  It looks great.

I found the learning curve to be quite abrupt for a RPG.  It took me a little while to correctly understand what I was doing.  I think once past the first town, things get really interesting from there.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Maybe it's a platform issue, as the PS3 version was not that hard. I think the key is to let the game railroad you a bit during the early stuff because there are just so many hard monsters off the beaten path - later, when you level up a bit you can go exploring more.

The boxing in W2 was :bleeding: on PC.

Apparently, it'll be out June 7th.  Still unconfirmed though.

I hated the W2 minigames with passion. Great game otherwise.

This time the story is set in the Duchy of Toussaint.

Downloading Blood and Wine. A measly 7.8 GB before unpacking. Oy.

I'm liking it.

Confirm: good as previous installments of Witcher 3.
