About:
The Witcher represents the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, shattering the line between good and evil with a world where moral ambiguity reigns. In a beautiful, rich game universe created by artists first, technology second, the player becomes his own hero in an epic, action-packed narrative uniquely defined by his actions. Returning to the roots of the role-playing genre with a fresh and modern approach, The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world, while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it.

Immersed in a vivid but harsh fantasy world, the player assumes the role of a white-haired witcher named Geralt, a renowned monster-slayer-for-hire and master swordsman with superhuman strength and reflexes. While trying to regain his lost memory, Geralt unwillingly becomes involved in a world-shaking power struggle. Created to provide entertainment for both fans of role-playing games and those seeking fast-paced action, The Witcher brings together epic storytelling and dynamic, visually stunning, and tactically deep action.

This game has been given no mention on here and im very suprised this could be the next KOTOR beater. Theres some great videos/previews on gamespot to wet your appetite:)
 
I buy games on instinct and not on reviews. The day I bought my first pc i walked into a pc game shop without any prior knowledge of games or even console games, and walked out with HL1. I think an experienced gamer can tell from the videos of this game that the developers know what they are doing. It's just little things like how it mentions that when you venture out of towns at night the bad creatures will be hunting in big packs, makes it feel like this game world is going to be very dangerous and immersive.
I watched videos of hellgate london months ago and straight off the bat I could see it would be dissapointing. But this will be ace. Trust me.

i feel the same way its going to be special. Just had an email its on its way:D
 
I have got Vsync working on this game :D (For Ati Vista 64 Ultimate)

I uninstalled CCC (Catalyst Control Center)

Installed Ati Tray Tools, (ATT) and put my refresh rate (desktop to 85hz) and also set the Refresh rate Lock in ATT to 85hz...

Tearing has gone :cool:

Also what level difficulty are you guys playing it at :D?

normal:)
 
Nope, you didn't yet because he just let rip with a good spoiler. :o

I just got to that bit myself, luckily I didn't see this thread first.

Going to stop reading this thread altogether now until we get a spoiler warning in the title I think and a seperate thread opening, that's the flaw with the sickeningly crap "official" threads.

wheres the spoiler?
 
Since me harping on about this game after making this thread, and lets be honest you gamers hear about this game. I still aint finished it so maybe you lot could help me:)
Im stuck on Act 2 im in the swamp and theres these big plant things keep killing me, in like 4 hits.
 
Ive started the game again as of yesturday, this time i will finish it:p My first play through when the game first came out i got stuck on act 2 against thoes plant monsters in the swamp.
Now that ive restarted im on act 2 already and my character is a lot stronger than my first playthrough. Ive found a lot more quest to do and this is got to be the best rpg in along time.

Going back to thoes plant creatures in the swamp whats the best way to kill them, is that fire spell any good?
 
The swamp is probably the first area you get to where your type of attack (heavy or fast) becomes important. Once you use the right attack I found it was usually OK - unless the game decided to stun-lock you, as it sometimes did.

But the whole game is still far too tedious.

A person who doesnt like the game:eek::p
 
What it is mate is one big plant monster which you get a trophy for when killing it, itself is a quest and the thing creeps up on you all the time in the swamp until you kill it.

ONce you do it once it never comes back and the swamp is pretty easy after that.

I remember when i 1st played it and i seriously thought jesus wept, this is a huge jump in monster strength, and there are loads of them.

You do get little ones after that, but they are nothing really.

Well ive just come across him again, but this time i won:D
