So people paid more for the Steam edition, didn't get to preload, don't get the physical bonus stuff and it unlocks later...

im going to support CD project and buy a second copy on GOG later in the summer! just want all my games on one platform
I am actually hoping that my copy from Amazon comes in a few days.
I have been playing a bit more of The Witcher. I have just started Act 3. It's pretty good.
I am enjoying it, but sometimes i am really pulling my hair out over the dialogue. It must be very poorly translated. Half the time i am having conversations with people and then the journal will pop up saying that it means this or that and i'm thinking"thats not what he said!"
For example(not really a spoiler) in act 2 you are supposed to be eliminating suspects from your investigation, i spoke to some guys and then it pops up "you should tell **** that you have proved his innocence" and i was like "wtf, thats not what i got from that convesation!!" LOL
It is a good game, but this story could have been told in a much better way, and with a little bit more finesse, then i would love this game
How long would you say i am from the end considering i play it on fairly easy?
Huh? I played that act very recently and it was pretty evident from the conversations that a certain piece of information meant the person was innocent when referring back to the original crime. Also good to see you carried on, Act 3 is where it starts to get really good!
EDIT: pardon me, ATARI is still the publisher in NA but CD Projekt is responsible for the game in Europe (apart from Russia that is).
I must have been reading the wrong FAQ then.

My pre-order from amazon just got sent out today at 4pm cost me £26.91 with first class delivery so hopefully should arrive tomorrow only pre-ordered the game on the 12th of may
Yeah i am enjoying it, so will definitely finish it now
, i just find that some of the events are not very clearly explained in the dialogue, but as i said, i believe that to be due to translation to some extent.Another side quest i had trouble with was Force Recon- I won't spoil anything, but i got the mission from Sigfried, and i knew what the quest was, but i didn't realize until i'd done it that the opponents where the ones from the other camp. If i'd known that, i probably would have stayed neutral tbh (it also meant that i had failed another quest
).Anyway, i would have ordered it from GOG, but it was my birthday last week so i got my sister to pre-order it for me months ago, she lives a long way away and can barely use a computer
so the easiest way to do it was to get her to order through amazon and get it sent here

This is another excellent aspect of the game, you will not be able to foresee all the consequences of your actions, a lot of them won't come back to bite you in the arse until much later, some choices may not necessarily have been the ones you would make if you had know the outcome but you now have to live with it. There's no right in this game, just a lot of wrong, both the Scoietal and the Order perform evil acts for "the greater good" and one of the overriding themes in the game is what exactly qualifies as a monster.
You will fail some quests, it's unavoidable.
The other notable thing about the setting is the outright racism and hostility towards non-humans. To the point where the dwarven blacksmith at the start will tell you that his species are hung on specially designed gallows, to save resources (implying that dwarves are executed fairly frequently).
