On maximum The Witcher 2 looks better than most games out there.

Witcher 2 is one of the best, if not the best visualfests on the PC. Skyrim, despite looking stunning isn't a patch on it tbh.

I concur, it's the best looking RPG game out there.
And it performs well enough with maximum settings (bar ubersampling) on a single GTX 580 at 2560x1440.

Try playing on Dark difficulty then and get the 3 unique armour/weapons sets.
One of the schematics is over 3000 orens alone.
Love the game, finished 3 times now. Although I'm happy with final ending, despite wanting another play through with Roche on Dark.

yeah I did Dark with Roche and never had over 2700 orens lol
Started Dark on Saturday, hooked it up to my tv this time for the play through. Text size on items is really small but the comfycouch mod fixed the other text being small.
Totally missed the first dark armour set and had to reload a save as I spent 1500orens on getting the plans to craft the kayren armour. Then I discovered after the rose of remembrance playing through the Roche path, everyone is celebrating so the Dwarven black smith is no longer there.
Although the Roche changes are quite cool in parts, I am really having to fight the urge not to go with the Elves again as the humans are just complete *****! They insult non-humans every second sentence so it's hard to find any appeal to help them :/
Will save the orens I have to pick up the dark armour on Act 2. Which I have just started.

I felt the game was /is a little demanding on hardware considering its ‘not’ hugely that much different in looks to Skyrim at first glance, its only when you look real close can you see just how detailed it actually is..
Sadly this does come at a price, as even at some of the lowest settings this game can easily cripple hardware.
Still, it is very good looking right out of the box and I can see why everyone raves about its visuals. Some of the scenes in the game are truly breathtaking, worthwhile playing and if you remove ubersampling, some of the DOF settings and lower the textures, it will run at 30fps and this is more then ample for an RPG game.
I didn’t release whilst I was playing that doing a certain quest would mean you’d follow a certain path, which I didn’t know the game split off, seems there is way more paths to this game then I realised..
That’s actually quite good, means on my second play through I’ll follow another path..

Not only that, but it has other small splits as well given the large one.
It certainly makes a difference in the end.

i found the best way to earn orens is to grind arm wrestling, the strongest guy in the bar in flotsam, you win 30 orens a time. a bit tedious but after grinding gil for days on end in final fantasy xi online in felt like a cake walk.

your joking right? you cant compare the graphical quality of the witcher 2 to skyrims merky textures and rough lighting techniques.
Hence, why I said when you look closely you can see the difference. Not everyone can tell how good a game looks comparable to another without side by side or better study..
Witcher 2 is a good looking game, for sure. However Syrim runs much quicker and smoother then Witcher 2 and IMO both games look visually stunning - just that the Witcher 2 is more detailed when you actually take notice of what is on the screen...
but you pay for this, and Witcher 2 does have higher hardware demands. (doh lol )
