Something sizable would be nice. I like the little missions they do, but I want something meaty.
In fact, they should just work on an expansion pack that overhauls chapter 3 and makes it an actual chapter instead of a cliff note.

Ummmm, I thought everyone realized that? It's subtle but it's pretty obvious if you're paying attention IMO.
As for the Witcher 2, a meaty 10 - 20 hour expansion would be so clutch. I don't want a 2 hour DLC mission that I can play through in one sitting.

Finally finished this up, I have to say I did enjoy the game and the writhing was great, got me fully into the world but something is just missing and I swear I thought I was halfway through and all of a sudden I was finished, I wanted much more.
Damn! This game really ended
on a high note!
Both story-wise and gameplay-wise.
The combat really started clicking with me once I started playing it more like Arkham Asylum when before I was just pounding on dudes.
Now I'm going to start my Roche playthrough and backup my main save to use in Witcher 3, I'm betting some of my choices are going to come back to bite me in the ass.

Pretty stupid expectations this early on.
Still, Arena mode does not interest me, neither does 'dark mode', so colour me a bit disappointed. Hopefully this new tutorial mode will complete the first part of the game, and CDP can focus on expanding the shitty third chapter.

Looking good. I'm keen on that dark mode if they can rebalance the latter half of the game.
They hinted at more story elements present in that mode. Wonder what it is.

Those dog things are definitely new. Hope they aren't just dropped somewhere else and we get a new quest/area.
When I do play it again I'll probably go with Roche again. About that, is it possible to
uncover the conspiracy and not have to kill that room full of dudes to get Seltkirk's armor? Also, is it possible to figure out that Roche heads the conspiracy on your own?
watched the trailer.
that's terrific. The third playthorugh is imminent.
And what makes it all sweeter is that I hoped that somebody makes an arena mode after CD RED releases mod tools but they made themselves!
Also what about these dark "themes"? I've been thinking a lot about difficulty levels lately and I thought that increasing difficulty level should correspond with changing the tone of the game. For example when you look at the faces of people in Metro 2033 they look unreasonably healthy while they all should be dead pale after life spent without sun. But if you make people look ugly it might not gel with target audience. Same with the plot. You can do much more twisted, dark plot if you are not limitated by the fear of people being frustrated by it. But if you limit it by the mode 95% won't ever touch you won't get bad reviews and all that stuff and you'll reward hardcore players at the same time.
If they do something like this.... well, at least partially...

You should have no problem running everything on Ultra at 1080p above 30 fps. No ubersampling though. That setting will destroy any single card in the market.
2.0 is a bit underwhelming for me, since I was hoping it would include a significant DLC quest or expansion. Arena mode could be fun, but I'd rather do some real questing with a plotline and characters and all that shit. I'm not even against paying for it.
Maybe they're gonna wait until the 360 version is out to release an expansion, but I don't wanna wait that long dammit.

I'm liking the arena mode. Will probably do dark mode just before TW3 comes out.
