Thats your main quest line right there. The Elf is in Vivaldis house IIRC. Can't remember were Siegfried is but I think it might be the guard tower in Trade quarter (But Im probably wrong!!)

It's linear but not in a restrictive way. More like Gothic in that there's a storyline to follow and to get to the next major area you have to do certain things. However the areas once you're in them are a good size and fantastically detailed (much more than Oblivions) with lots of side quests and complete freedom. The city actually feels like a city, hell, the towns are bigger than Oblivions cities.
For me it's a good balance of the two. You're not just constantly moving forward killing whatever's put in front of you but at the same time you benefit from the tighter storyline and quests. In a way actuallyit's a lot less linear than Oblivion in that you've greater choice in dialogue response and in how you solve the quests. It also differs in that in one quests I goofed off instead of reacting to the urgency of the task. Unlike OB, where coming back in a couple of days time nothing would have changed, I returned to find a disgruntled Dwarf who told me all hismates were kiled or driven away because I had abandoned them. I irredeemably ****** him off and lost out on his future quests. :D

sounds good, would you say if i enjoyed games like oblivion/morrowind/gothic3 etc i should give this ago?
 
Oh btw folks PCG UK has reviewed the Witcher. They've gave it 67% Quite frankly you have to read the review yourself to believe some of the stuff the reviewer comes up with as criticism....really.

I've always found PC gamer to be totally up its own arse,I'm much more inclined to go with PC Zones opinion,they gave The Witcher 88%.
 
Really enjoying this game, once I got used to the combat, the whole system is good fun.

graphics are really nice, some very neat touches.

Cant wait to play it through.
 
Go to say i'm loving this am only on chapter 2 but doing all the quests. Some advice to above comments is the value of using potions like blizzard for the tough fights.

One quick question tho. I bought an item from Thamer (cant remember his name) that updates a steel swords stats but I cant figure out how to use it. Any suggestions?

Also I have found a red and blue meteorite. I believe if I find another I can ask for my existing sword to be forged with updates?


Forgot to add this months PC Format has given it 60% !! I am considering cancelling my subscription now as I 'm wondering how many other good games I have missed due to ignoring any review getting less than around 80% ! I can no longer trust their reviews as I am loving the witcher.

Cheers

Quick question,

Once I have read scrolls and books do I have to keep them in order to retain the info...or can I just read them then sell???

Thanks:)
 
From what i understand you need 3 of the same metorites to upgrade your sword, no idea how to apply the runes, i have 1 for my silver sword but not figured out how to use it yet, as for scrolls and books i usllay buy them, read them and sell them right back.

but saying that havent played in awhile, my dvd is becomming scratched so have stopped playing.
 
Whats the story and gameplay like with this title ?

I bought it, but it got thrown to the back of the pile when COD4 and Crysis came so ive only played about 5 mins of it !
 
I don't usually play rpgs much,but i can't drag myself away from this game,its brilliant !! On chapter 3 at the minute & loving every second of it:D

You go to a blacksmith i think and hand him the items to forge. I have 3 but saving it till i get a better sword later on. Thats if i can get past act 3 im stuck good and proper.
 
played the whole game and couldnt figure out how to use the runes. there was even a blacksmith in vizima trade quarter who made me give him a jewel so he'd "reforge" my sword for me but nothing i did wouldnt make it work :(.
