The Witcher 2 - Thread

If you have trouble fighting just use Quen all the time. not only does it stop damage it stops all the little stuns and combo breaking the enemies do, then combat on multi mobs becomes pretty good fun, just using camera angle to direct attacks. Don't need to lock on in these cases.
 
Does anyone know why a bunch of kids would be following me around in Flotsam? They are getting on my nerves now, they surround me and I end up getting stuck.

Took the advice of those saying this game is great with a controller, and yes I have to agree, I have switched back to normal difficulty again and I am finding it much better than before :)
 
I just started the game again after completing this on normal doing it on hard this time then gonna do another play through on the highest difficulty but atm on hard im finding it very easy after having completed the game already.

The difficulty isn't the problem, it's the combat mechanics as a whole, I enjoy challenges in fact I revel in them, hell I recently got done doing a no armor/magic playthrough of demons souls last week, what I'm finding with this game is not challenging, it's frustrating, it's from bowmen whose arrows you can't avoid by any means, it's from the game randomly deciding I can't attack an enemy because he's a certain way through his attack animation even if my attack would hit first, it's the block function being about as useful as throwing a hanky at them and spending every single fight with more than one enemy running around waiting for one to move away from the other because even if you stagger attacks between two enemies they will ALWAYS find time to hit you leading to a stun and being hit by the other. It's the fraction of a second after setting a trap that Geralt is completely unresponsive so if you try to do it in a fight you have to be THAT much father away or you get caught in the explosion, it's the fact you can't look around without changing targets or locking on (what was wrong with just locking on to the target geralt is pointing towards?) It's the fact that if I kill an enemy and I happen to be looking at an enemy 10ft away and accidentally hit attack again Geralt will flop about like a gymnast towards that enemy disregarding the one trying to stab me in the spine.

There are just so many things that can lead to your death that you have either no control over or have to actively avoid.

I agree, the combat system still needed a lot of work.
 
Krooked the kids follow you because they know you are a witcher and think you are a cool badass monster killer. You can see this cus in one of the houses a kids is running around saying i want to be a witcher etc.
 
Just trying to do the fight against Letho. Really bored of the cheese style combat. The kayran before it was just as bad, just rolling and getting a hit off and hoping the fight doesn't last longer than ten minutes. I wouldn't mind if I felt like there was some element of skill to it, but fighting an enemy that takes about 90 hits to defeat to my 3 is a tad bit boring. Wearing the Kayran armour and wielding a Jagged Blade (Best I could find at that point) seems to have no effect over trying it with lesser armour and weapons. Inevitably the same result each time.
 
i really need to upgrade my card :( still using a 4870 512mb and my framerate is rubbish :( all my seting are on low including texture downscaling to high. framerate is around 15-25 depends on location. eyeing either a 6950 or a gtx 560i.
 
Letho was quite easy on normal, just avoid his bombs and ignis, carefully attack and parry..

I have GTX560Ti and playing just fine on ultra@1920*1200

Given the lack of damage you do at that stage it's really boring. I find the mini-boss fights more entertaining as I feel like I have some degree of freedom in how I approach various aspects of the fight.
 
Picked up the 1st one and we'll see how we get on. Looks like my type of game though I dont know how the second one is going to run on a single 6950 2gb.

That's great to hear. At lest the card can handle it, now I'm just worried that I might have to replace the Athlon x4 630 to a 6 core phenom. And then I wont need upgrading till next year.
