This looks great on 360. I think I will grab it soon.

ohhh, it's in the end? so after

Spoiler

i meet up with the king?

its actually one of the last things you do before you get to act 3...you already start travellling toward vergen never to return to the camp.....it will be absolutely impossible to miss it though.

Just want to ask if Playing through Witcher 1 is worth it, It's a good price on steam and I'm interested on the witcher 2 through that prologue video they put up.

I usually play the games in order, is it worth it to play through Witcher 1?

two separate games...but unlike demon's and dark they are quite different.....still a steal of a game for the cost of a cheap food court meal.

Grats on the Operator kill finally.

In that gully at the end, there's a nice sword btw.

thanks....ser art dayne below turned off all braziers and nothing...not sure if he is xbox or PC but after I killed the operator the braziers were all easy to engage again...I think they tried to nerf the lights thing, but failed in dissallowing interaction such to dissuade OCD people from attempting it....was your go post EE?

Guys, how do I get the Grapeshot Grenade? I need for this Nekker quest in the first chapter I think.

Not in to asking around town at the shops? You can make your own for cheap if you find the diagram.

You really can play it any way you want. I don't particularly care for alchemy, so I rarely use potions and the like. I beat what is widely considered the hardest fight in the game on Dark without. !

I like potions but because I took too long on operator all my buffs ran out...meditating was the one thing it would not let me do behind the pillar.....ok so every one knows it toook me greater than 10 minutes of run time to kill the shit faces! ;p I realize it proabably took more effort than other methods....but

I also can't see how he can't beat this on Easy. How can someone not be able to?

the dragon fight :/

Though that may have been due to not being prepared.

Is there an ability or something to give me better selling prices? The items I have are worth way more than what I'm offered for them, by merchants and blacksmiths.

 

[Guri]

Don't worry, you'll get it during one of the main quests.

Can I still go after the things for Saskia? I'm afraid some sidequests may be locked after that.

There is a PowerUp Reward Zone skill on the Alchemy tree. It will only help if you trade in more than 3 old weapons towards the purchase of a new one.

I tried to craft a silver sword but I was missing something. Menu didn't really tell me what I was missing or how I would get the missing part. Again, too much of an investment for one lousy game.

I don't believe in scaling in RPGs, it's a lazy cop-out. However, this dev went the other extreme with bad non-scaling.

Please post it if you finish this! I usually turn the hud off from time to time. Looks amazing without it (and even with it of course).

I made two mods:

Wish the dynamic HUD was an option for consoles Alan Wake's American Nightmare is definitely better with it.

 

[Y2Kev]

Beat it, game rocks, Fable with tits and good gameplay and story and music and characters and writing

The credits for this game are MASSIVE. Amazing how the budget was so small.

 

[Grisby]

Can someone give me a heads up on this? Just got to Act 3 but I think I missed out on the EE quests stuff for the 360.

In the guide book that comes with the game it says

Spoiler

a woman is supposed to approach me to start the quest called Lilies and Vipers. Not once did anyone approach me with this stuff in Chapter 2 Roach's side.

Hate to miss out on that extra stuff.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I have to say that the first game is superb. Even though it's almost 4 years old, it plays so refreshingly. I am already at Chapter 2 and I put it aside for a while because of work, but it's really a very well-made RPG.

Your decisions count, the world is extremely immersive and awesomely created (

Spoiler

medieval setting, all kinds of monsters and ghosts and knights, and then the adult themes, from sex to racism and drugs

) and the gameplay is quite solid. It reminds me of Gothic 2 in pretty much all aspects. Definitely one of the most well made RPGs I've played lately (and a few days ago I finished Mass Effect 2 which was also great but I abandoned for a couple of weeks because of that horrible planet mining mini game).

9/10. I think the 10/10 will probably go to TW2, but I still haven't played it.

Great mod! May I request something? If you could remove the lock-on icon, text and healthbar above enemies.

Would find that a lot more immersive when fighting enemies

im thinking about picking this up for the 360 soon. i want to install the game, but can i do this with my 16gb (14gb of space) flash drive? i know i can install one disc at a time, but will deleting the first install before switching to the second disc erase all of my progress?

Start of Chapter 3, you can't miss it, I believe. It starts with an escort mission of a different name, that then starts the Lilies quest.

No, I'm using the same method, just delete the 7.7GB data on the drive when you switch.

 

[Dresden]

My Iorveth run just kicked up a ton, enjoying the game again.

Also this Alchemy build is finally coming into its own, +70% damage while poisoned is really ace, in conjunction with the +31 to damage I have running from all the Power/Greater Power mutagens. I think I'm hitting for like 150 a swing before any bonuses from Berserk kicks in. Too bad it only took like half the game to do so.

 

[WX3]

I wish that the 360 version had the damage ticker on the screen like the pc version. I don't konw why but I miss seeing how much damage Geralt is dealing per strike. Maybe I wouldn't notice it if I wasn't playing both games at the same time! That is how incredible I feel this game is.

 

[RedSwirl]

And shit, the endrega queens scares me. Even dead.

First time I saw the Endrega's crawl down from the trees I was like NOPE.

It doesn't? Damn. I liked that because it was the old school damage counter system, but they made it look really cool and modern. Though I could understand if they could't fit it in there, I honestly think the text there is a bit too small in the PC version and expected them to maybe enlarge it on the 360, or have damage numbers pop up on characters like in most console RPGs.

Yeah, thats possible. Maybe I will release a 'Hardcore' version of the mod in the future, changes like you mentioned and possibly some other stuff.

thanks for the feedback.

Only got a chance to play it briefly when I got it late last year. This seems like the perfect time to give it another try with the EE out. Steam is redownloading my copy and since it ran great last time on my pc...time to set it to 11.

Sine I only got to the first prologue...which I loved I know I'm in for a deep game if the rest of the game is anything like the intro part .

I heard their is a new additional tutorial, any thoughts on that?

So um...does that monk dude in the first town give you anything? He keeps talking about a relic he'll give you if you beat him but I've done it like...20 times so far.

And apparently you have to beat him in a certain way, with pairs or something. Dunno, never bothered.

@ deithwen - I already used a earth/moon/fire rune loaded one for the operator..... I have two now...I can choose different runes for it now I guess?!?!?. Pretty sure I got the other one

I think so. I got two on Roche's path. You can also get Addan Deith, which is better for all enemies other than Gargoyles and large enemies.

In the forest cave, you can also get Dancer, which is or is close to the best steel sword in the game. You can get it much earlier than the Vran sword, too.

I believe Iorveth and Roche have two mutually exclusive areas, Iorveth gets the tower, Roche gets the forest. I guess I will have to stick with my dark weapons, as I was hoping to switch to Dancer/Addan Deith/Deithwen to get rid of the dark effects and nerf myself.

It is a small damage hit, but better status effect. Also, more rune slots in these weapons than in the dark weapons- only 1 slot in the steel sword, none in the silver.

The dark weapons are super OP with vitality drain. I destroyed the chapter 2 boss on my first try with ease. That is partially due to being over levelled, though. The Iorveth path throws levels at you like candy. I believe I was level 30 at the time I fought him.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

The 360 version of the game looks so good, but it's so damn dark during the night. No matter how much I play around with settings, in game and on different televisions, I can't quite get it to look right.

I started playing on normal but came to a cave full of nekkars and after dying several times switched to easy. Looks pretty damn good on the 360, the level of pop in is a little painful though.(mostly textures however on rare occasion I've witnessed geometry pop in... eesh)
