Just make it a skippable animation. I kind of liked the idea that he's drinking these extremely toxic potions that would kill any other man but all Geralt needs to do is wipe the sweat off his brow.

This isn't a problem. You get way more insight on secondary characters and their motivations when you play through both paths. A seemingly inconsequential decision you made going through one path suddenly has more gravity when made going through the events of the other path.
I loved that too hehe

You know that you can order at Amazon.fr too? I pre-ordered one copy there but I'm going to cancel when Amazon.co.uk put the Dark Edition up.
That would be my last choice but I would if I need it.
Do you have any idea how much it would cost me or Amazon.fr? Do they also have Free delivery for other countries when above "x" amount of money?
Thanks in advance.

Hopefully console gamers pick this game up hardcore because I love CDPR.

Buying as soon as this comes out. Tempted to get the dark edition, I wish most premium editions were priced this reasonably.

I'm paying 7 for delivery to my country. I think Amazon dispatchs for free in specific countries which don't have a own Amazon store.
Well, 2 is very different in a lot of ways, particularly in regards to UI and combat.
But not too many copies. Don't want CDPR abandoning PC....
Oh, so you basically learn to know the people you initially sided with. Well I'm ok with that.
Witcher 3 - Xbox exclusive?

They play very differently. Whether or not you enjoyed the original isn't all that important but I would definitely recommend catching up on the story one way or another.
The combat was really the thing I hated the most about the first game. If you say 2 is a good RPG then I'll have to check it out. There's nothing else in April I want so far anyway.

They will never abandon PC since they run GoG.com. That would be like Valve abandoning PC.
Doesn't mean they couldn't abandon PC game development if the 360 version outsold the PC version by some obscene ratio.

great to hear, day 1 for me
I...wow, that's kind of a 'lol' sentence to me. I mean, CDPR have a great reputation with their PC fans right? No reason that they would abandon that due to finding some success on consoles.
They're Polish. PC or busts.
nowhere close to the pc version.
Money talks. It's not like Bioware or Bethesda sold out. Wait a minute.....

How does this port (graphics-wise) compare to say the Crysis 2 PC to console port? I thought they did a pretty bang-up job on the latter considering what they had to work with.
I haven't looked at any of the media yet. What are you referencing and what should I skip to avoid any spoilers?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
They're actually expanding the last act? Talk about listening to your fans.
If the 360 version outsold the PC version by an obscene amount then I'd shake my head at PC gamers and not begrudge CDProjekt. Still though, it's a stupid point to begin with, they won't abandon PC development.
Sure it does. But just from reading about CDPR they've always seemed like a Valve to me, that their games are PC first.
It's just saying "I hope they sell some copies but not too many." seems a bit zany.

SO I missed the whole thing, anywhere I can watch it online?
Edit: Oh sweet, it's still up on the FB page ^_^

Yeah, you learn more about the people you side with as well as their circle since you're directly interacting with those characters. If anything Bioware should draw upon this direction of game design more. You build what is essentially 40 hours of game content but have it split up in a meaningful way that significantly rewards the player for multiple playthroughs. For those that don't, they're still given a really impactful gameplay experience with a smaller investment of time (20-30 hours for a single playthrough).

seems so judging from the new footage and screens.
I sort of regret that I have already played through the game twice!

I've managed to control myself and not buy this on PC (...yet, not ruling out double dipping later). I'll be getting the Dark Edition for sure.
I seem to have a tendency to wait for console versions, then play PC versions later if I'm so in love with a game that I simply must have mods and superior graphics.

Im in the middle of a 3rd playthrough and might just can that and wait for this update.

ok you guys have to not share any spoilers for those of us that didn't watch the stream, nor play the pc version. Now I just have to find time between now and then to finish up all my mass effect business and play through the first Witcher
