Also digital artbook from CE vs no digital artbook.
Just bought it from GOG and downloading it now!
Was debating for weeks if I should go with Steam (my main source for digital downloads) or creating an account at GOG just for this game. CD Projekt RED was getting all of 100% of my money is the only reason I went with GOG, they deserve it!
Thank you NeoGAF for teaching me about this fantastic series!!

Yes you are correct sir. You can pick up your copy at midnight at Gamestop. I did a pre-order with them and I got a text message this afternoon telling me t ocome to the store at midnight for my Witcher 2 copy. So, I plan to come home from work tomorrow at around 4 or so. Check the net for a bit, take a nap for a few hours and then go get my copy at Gamesop. Hopefully will be playing by 1AM or so, depending on how long it takes to install.

I believe on the old forums you could request a save game file with certain choices made in the game.Tokubetsu said:
Sorry, I'm not particularly certain about what all else is or isn't chosen in the save files posted. Perhaps someone else knows?

So what about those aussies that buy the game legitimately from stores upon it's legitimate release tomorrow (17th) and the online unlock hasn't occurred yet (7AM GMT).
Will they get home and not be able to play until the GMT unlock? That seems kind of unfair to those people who have purchased in store legit!

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Divine divinity or Gothic 2 are the only games I'd recommend getting.
Beyond divinity isn't very good, and realms of arkania 1+2 & 3 although supposedly good, might be to old-school.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination

Why not?
I have played but not finished the first one, just can't do it. It's too janky to push myself through it. I like the game and all, but there are a few parts that are just too negative and push me away from it.
I believe that I know enough about the story to understand the world enough to enjoy the game enough to love the shit outta the second game, of course it would have been better to know everything about the first game but it's not required (it never is) so it doesn't matter

You don't have to play Witcher 2 on release day. If you're on chapter 2 you can finish by next weekend (or earlier whatever). And if you're enjoying the game so far then yeah go through with it.
Because it gets really awesome in Chapter 3-4-5. And I liked Chapter 2 whenever I wasn't in the swamps.

The biggest roadblock while playing Witcher 1 is getting through Chapter 1 for a lot of people, but you're already past that. I'd advise you to stick with it since Chapters 3,4 & 5 are a bit on the short side length-wise, and the story payoff is well-worth a playthrough.
Moreover, Witcher 2 references characters and events from 1, and so it might end up a lesser experience when one is constantly wondering what is being referred to.
Unless you absolutely cannot play the first game for some reason, I'd always recommend it before the sequel since it's a fantastic game no matter how good or bad the sequel turns out to be.

There better be another drunk party quest in this game.

Honestly if youre wanning on the game and dont feel the need or desire to plow through it dont. Its a great game but a bit janky and rough in a lot of ways, the actual plot isnt all that amazing and pacing isnt exactly the games strong suit, its a game that shines when dealing in how your actions affect things and in atmosphere, but outside that a lot of things are kind of average to sub par.
You could pretty easily plow through the game by tuesday night if you have the time and desire and most definitely if you skip over a lot of the pointless sidequests. If not you could just spend an hour or two on the Witcher Wikia and pretty much read up on everything you missed out on and not much worse for ware.
For those who are finding the eccentric combat system janky, or are running out of time before the sequel's release, there's always the infinite health mod available for powering through the game. Try that as a last resort before writing off the first game and heading to the Witcher wiki.
A lot of people in the official thread nearly gave up on the game during Acts 2 and 3, only to end up loving the game after the very strong second half. The pacing is very much like a typical fantasy book where the first half is filled with establishing the various players and their motives, and the second half escalates the events.

I liked the TW1 from the very beginning and even during my second playthrough (which I'm doing right now) I can't see the tedium that some people are describing.
I think I played the demo of the village 10 times before I bought the game.

I ran into some knots like this and learned a couple key things to speed things up. Firstly if you pull out your sword with "E" (you can only do this in certain areas) and set it to fast style you'll run about twice as fast as normal. Nothing will be able to catch you. I use this a lot to shorten the inane back and forth you often have to do between areas especially in Chapter 4. Another is to upgrade the sign that can stun enemies and use it as much as possible. Usually you only have to take them down to half health before they can be stunned and subsequently finished off. Also remember to use swallow potions on tough battles.
