Open world larger than Skyrim with quality of story and quests from The Witcher 1 and 2 ?
Hell YES.

A tip from TheSwede regarding fixing a sign usage

I have managed to solve this for myself on the PC. It now works! I can have puppet and delusion at the same time.

To fix this:

Navigate to your folder: C:\Users\<User Name>\Documents\The Witcher 3

Open the file "input.settings"

Find all the entries for "IK_Q=(Action=CastSignHold,State=Duration,IdleTime=0.2)"

Change the entry to have an IdleTime of 0.01. So after your change it should look like this:

"IK_Q=(Action=CastSignHold,State=Duration,IdleTime=0.01)"

There are multiple entries of this setting, so you will have to change them all.

I didn't test it with other signs as this is a universal change to all alternate sign modes. But I am just happy to be able to use puppet and delusion at the same time now. It was driving me crazy to have to choose between them.

Gives me a year to get through the first two at least!

Great news!

Still need to finish the first two. I've played a little bit of the witcher 2 and it's great!

Truly stoked.

This is alongside Cyberpunk's development I assume?

Urgh, better put the second one to the front of the queue of games to play lol.

YES!

Loved everything about the witcher2.

unfortunately i didnt know about the series until the witcher2 and find playing the witcher 1 too backwards.

Big hopes for this iteration though!

Why is every RPG moving to open-world now? Surely there's a place for linear RPGs as well as open-world ones?

Sweet lordy lou

Awesome, I'd be happy with Witcher 2 but just a bit longer

Despite initial doubts, I can't help but be excited.

They haven't been bought out by EA. This will be EPIC.

agnes · 5 Feb 2013 at 09:57

I did have initial issues with the second with fps... My 670 was getting slaughtered!

Witcher 2 got my into RPG games, I wasn't sure about witcher 2 but I purchased it, loved it but it ran awful on my old laptop, but my new laptop witcher 2 looks amazing, and plays even better...

Witcher 2 got me into Skyrim, and I got witcher and now consider 'true' rpg not like Mass Effect as a type of game I'd enjoy...

Witcher 3 - hell yes..!!

I loved both games, though I think Witcher 1 has the edge in terms of story and length - Witcher 2 felt just a bit too restrictive and it felt like the conclusion was rushed. Let's hope they take their time and do the job right.
