Reminds me of what i imagine Fable would look like if it were more grounded.

It's hilarious to me that the thing that has me most on the edge of my seat prior to the witcher 2's release. Is whether or not Geralt can wear hats, because I hate his stupid hair. I saw a hood in this video so things are looking promising I might be able to finish this game unlike the hatless catastrophe that was its successor.

Great atmosphere and music.  But what is up with half the male villagers walking around with diapers instead of pants?  Is CDProjekt messing with us?  Is that some kind of Nordic in-joke?

Amazing! 

I can´t believe how a small budget studio for Poland is outclassing a behemoth like Bioware ?

Talk about making an issue out of completely nothing! If a game received a handful of glowing reviews, it can be considered critically acclaimed. 


People using average numbers derived from arbitrary point scores in order to decide a game's quality? Now that is interesting :D

The npcs reacted kind of the same way in the first one, seams to be more fleshed out in this one. I like how in both games when it rains npcs run for shelter, I don't know why. Maybe it's because it makes more sense then them standing there acting all static while it downpours on their heads.

Is it just me or does there seem to be a strong anti-pants contingent in WItcher 2

@Hef: It was dirty back in the day and i think this game is trying to do that but add a touch of fantasy to it.

Not sure if I should buy it as soon as it comes out or wait to see if it has bugs like the first did.

I just started playing The Witcher, but I find it a little odd and hard to stick with. At the same time it's intriguing. Hopefully I can find the time to enjoy and finish it.

Hmm. Trailer makes it look interesting, but the combat and character designs still don't do anything for me. I will wait for a Steam sale next year to pick this up.
