Decided to go back to this again and straight away i can remember why I gave up during the first chapter. Want to remember what keys you should be using for the clunky combat? Sure you could go looking in options> controls like any other PC game. but that would far too utilitarian, so the keys are in the journal entries, with the various other controls segregated into their own little entries. Along with the very pretty but completely obtuse menu system it makes for a much more enjoyable experience.

I've just started playing on the 360 and I'm really enjoying it so far. I thought the prologue was done really well (like telling a story), and was a good way to get into the game. Combat so far is mediocre; casting the protection spell and sword-fighting is all that I've needed so far. I'm hoping that it gets a bit more difficult as I could see it getting boring. The story and voice acting are excellent!

Noticed a small bug when I was wandering outside Floatsam. I was fighting some sort of monster and just as I was about to deliver the final blow the monster stopped attacking me, turned around slowly and walked away. After it got about 5 foot clear of me, it just vanished. The same thing happens with most of the dead bodies, but usually they only disappear when I look away - I hate when they do that in games.

Can't say I noticed that on the 360 to be honest did you install the game to the hard disk, I'm on my second play through at the moment so now you mentioned it I'll be constantly rotating the camera to look for it

Combat does improve a little , but for me the game was more about the story and characters so I could overlook the combat issues...... well when I was playing on easy I could, playing on Dark for my "Roach" Playthrough and getting destroyed in 2 hits, I'm only on the prologue so if I tough it out to act one I should be ok. That said as it's my 2nd play so I know what awaits me in act 1 and am sure there will be at least 2 encounters that will result in instant death for me and many a reload on this setting

Yup, I've got it installed. The monster disappearing just before I killed it was a once off, but most of the dead bodies did disappear through the Prologue. They just leave their small bag of items behind.

I'd generally be on the same lines as yourself, but I do like a bit of a challenge at the same time. I presume the Dark difficulty is unlocked once you complete the game? I'll definitely give that a try.

No you can pick it from the start, but has to be at the start and if you lower the difficultly later you lose access to the armor sets you can obtain later on Dark.

I'm finding it more than a challenge to be honest, more frustrating having to reload and take multiple attempts at each enemy encounter. As I said I know what lies ahead of me in act one and I'm dreading one beast in particular, who will no doubt one shot kill me, so if I make it to act one on dark and it proves to be as frustrating I'll bump it down to easy just so I can get on and do the alternate story arc in peace and enjoy it

The story and high quality voice acting in this made it a very good experience over all , and it's my #1 game this year so far.

Any hints for a first time Witcher gamer? Just finished the training, told me to select hard difficulty, so I did, and died twice in the following assault... Think I might put it down a notch.

I've read a few reports that the comedy is very good in this, and I laughed a good bit when I saw tge Assassins Creed reference, along with the smart comment, best moment so far!

Plus, any game that comes with an accompanying map that was bewbs on it and shows a bit of bush in one of the first few fmvs is already ranking high in my book, already sets itself apart from most other "adult" games (not that full blown nudity is necessary, it's just nice to see developers including it).

just keep your eyes and ears open, you'll see/hear a few funny things as you wander through the world

so long since I played it I can't offer any gameplay tips other than think before you act, if you're presented with a choice in game.. it's likely going to have consequences and there's probably not a "right" answer

Played the right way this game is like if HBO made a Dragon Age game

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

so I've finally gotten around to playing this through again with the enchanced edition stuff

I'm having the same problem I originally had though when I first played it, the mouse controls are all sorts of ****ed up.
I have mouse smoothing disabled in user.ini, I have vsync turned off.. blur and whatnot are disabled, the game is running fine.. but the mouse speeds are all over the place. it's either way way too slow, or just too fast.. I can't find a decent middle ground and I forget how I did it the first time around

anyone know what i'm talking about and got any suggestions? really want to give this a play but this is wrecking my head

[promethius42]

I just got this game, I cant wait to give it a go.

I never played the first game but really starting to enjoy the sequel and by reading everything I'm starting to follow the story (my reason for playing it). I love the way your choices have consequences and I know the choice I'm coming up to on act 1 splits the story arc.

From people who completed both sides which was the better story arc or was there much difference without giving to much away?

I'm playing the other arc myself at the minute, so far Iorveths was the better of the two. If you don't plan on playing on Dark for an achievement I suggest making a save at the point of no return in Act I, save you having to replay those bits unless you want to make different choices. The point is very obvious.

The reason I say Iorveths was better is likely because it was the path I naturally picked, so go with gut when offered a choice.
