man im really worried i wont have a save ready in time for witcher 2, im only about 3/4 the way in on chapter 2.. i got so worried i just spent the last hour searching through backup dvds for any trace of my original 2007 save games and none what so ever. :x
I talk to the messenger in the hairy bear, tried getting drunk with him which gives me the option to turn in the badges for gold, but every time I ask him about who he's working for he just tells me to shove off.

Bah, I should have guessed, my inventory is over half alcohol after all.
Also a neat touch, like how the people run for cover under buildings when it starts raining.
Fucking hell though I hope they change having to go through 2 separate dialog menus, a confirmation box and a cutscene when I want to go to a different zone in TW2.
So I desperately wanted to enjoy The Witcher. I played the enhanced edition up to the sewers below that first big town and I just could not get over how disconnected, clunky and obnoxious the combat felt. It was like babysitting a robot. I vastly prefer either a completely hands on style (something like FO3 without VATS or something more Zelda-esque) or a more tactical direction (something like Dragon Age 1) where your focus is directing attacks effectively.
The awkward click-to-move and WASD with mouse to turn movement I could deal with but the hover-over-enemy-while-timing-clicks combat was just pure unfun for me. This is really frustrating as I am really interested in all the other aspects of the game. Are there any mods that change the combat so I can either play it more like a real time action game or don't have to babysit the dude with constant mouseclicks?

theres full combat rebalance, and the combat, and the game in general plays much better in OTS mode.
So taking one gith after the other is just a waste?
Also, something amazing just happened. Went to see Vivaldi and was treated to one of the artistic cut scenes showing
how my decision to fight the Scoia'tel when defending Haren's junk from the Drowners near the lak affected everyone. Vivaldi is arrested because his nephew allegedly confessed to contacting him the night before his capture.
I'm just shocked at how diverse it is, a decision I thought was just passive and not really important turns out to be really critical hours later
Although I really shouldn't, I'm probably gonna end up buying TW2 day one.

yeah its really cool, if you dont
fight them and let them take the stuff, vivaldi is fine, however coleman is killed the instant you enter the hairy bear because he was selling fistech to elven kids, thus you lose out on some quests (like hot potato you get from harog) and evidence in another quest for another character
Coleman was an asshole though so I wouldn't have minded. But then
spoiler]he does help Meis out as an informant on the gangs. I love how its not black & white. Even Vivaldi, as a character is questionable.[/spoiler]
Siegfried seems the only sane, easily defined character.
I'm holding off on my purchase only until they reveal how overly censored the US version will be. If they do a Day 1 Enhanced Edition to get around the rating system, that would be fine.

I'm not ashamed to say I love boobs. Though I primarily love hacking mans apart and don't want to miss out on bloody goodness either. I just want the god damn game as the developers intended.
Side note: I really need to get around to finishing the 1st one I just keep getting side-tracked by new games. :x
The CD Projekt Spring Conference has been scheduled for April 14th - looking forward to good (..and hopefully no disappointing) news.
CD Projekt RED has just set the date of its spring conference, which will take place on the 14th of April 2011 in Warsaw, Poland. With the release date of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings right around the corner, the conference will provide lots of important information for everyone who is even remotely interested in buying the game.
The event will cover following topics:
Minimum and recommended system requirements, as well as their effect on the game’s performance,
Differences in specific language versions and censorship,
Copy protection will be talked about in greater detail,
Importing save-game data from the first part of The Witcher,
REDengine details,
And many more.
Senior Producer, Tomasz Gop will be the event’s keynote speaker on behalf of CD Projekt RED. He will host a presentation during which he will answer a lot of important questions about the game.
As usual the conference will gather journalists, investors and industry representatives from various regions of Poland.
The English part of the conference will be broadcasted live at facebook.com/thewitcher and at the game’s official website http://www.thewitcher.com/. The broadcast will start at 4:00 PM (GMT).

I wish they'd just show the gameplay instead of cutting back to the dudes all the time!
I wonder what kind of rig that is. Looked smooth.
optimization happens at literally the last minute, so hopefully something not too powerful. a lot of the polish sites have been playing it on laptops, so i'm pretty sure it's not some desktop beast.

Lessee, an hour's download for the enhanced character models, but with unstable internet at home, that 1.29 gig download is looking like its just outside of my reach.
Well, regardless of what gets told to us in the 14th's press conference, I'm going to go with GoG. Them being sister companies with CD Projekt RED pretty much was the nail in the coffin.
Edit: Especially considering, like people have said, any issues with differing version/censorship can usually be modded/fixed/patched after the fact.
Just finished the witcher....OMG its like, you wish its possible to play it again and see another angle, but its just too much of a hassle, Witcher Wiki, here I come !!
The original Witcher had a nearly-day-one patch to fix the censorship, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Only of what could be ported from the uncensored European versions. If you were playing with English voicing, you could only get script fixes through subtitles, since those lines were never recorded in English in the first place.
And the dialogue stuff was way more important than having some unobstructed nipple on the cards.

Well said, and true. Some people are way too obsessed with the erotica in the game.
Some people are fucking upset that they're getting a neutered game because of their pissant bureaucracy. Or no game at all. Usually it's just Australia getting hosed on that shit.

They don't stack, no potion stacks, drinking more will just override the current one giving you more time but also increase your toxicity meter again.

pretty sure the gog version will be the same across all countries.

Definitely one of my favorite games of all time. Can't wait for 2.
The next month is going to be very difficult indeed.
Also question, are all the main characters' voice actors returning for 2, or are there any significant replacements?
