-- The Wicher 2 was Great but The Witcher was Awesome
Link to the Original page: Game Mods Core -- The Witcher 2 Review
Now i have seen 4 endings so far, 2 endings on Roche and 2 other endings on iorvet.
The story was Amazing, I loved it, finnaly they talked about Yennefer, they dig deeper within the lore of monsters, I just absolutely loved it. Although i hear many complaining that the game was hard, I find it too easy, but i have to say i have not played on Hard yet, but i was able to play easy and normal and both without dying once. I died once on purpose to see just how would it look like.
The Fact that 90% of NPCs are unique is just amazing, you get to look at the same people all the time, or even if you do, they are not wearing the same thing. that is quite awesome too.
The signs are now more useful, I love Axxi never thought it would be really this useful and even game breaking, back in the official forum i bet with corylea that the Axxi in dialoug would look like jedi mind trick and looks like i won the bet :) -- although quen is a bit over powered. I say remove the 100 damage negation but allow vigor regeneration.
the gore is nothing like i imagined, i was hoping to chop bodies all the way through but unfortunately dismemberment is very rare and mediocer, because when you cut someones hand they dont bleed, whats up with that. gore was something that was missing in the game. but im sure we can fix that with mods.
Everything was amazing about the game, but I somehow feel that the witcher 1 was better, I loved the gore (with this mod) more, I loved the story, it was very dark. also triss was a cougar ! (^_^) i prefer older women so she was like a ripe watermelon for me. and thats what i dont prefer in witcher 2, triss now looks like a 20 year old slut, though i know yennefer is suppose to be more of a bitch but i heard she has a long black hair and that is enough for me, ill duck tape her mouth, if she talks too much.
another thing lacking in witcher 2 was the organized inventory, it drove me insane, i wanted to sell my junk but i couldnt find them, there was no category for it. and also I liked the fact that you could only carry certain amount of weapon that made sense to me. another bothersome thing in the inventory was the unnecessary quest items that never went away, and just populated my inventory and made it confusing, an example is the key to my cell from the begining of the game. why the hell would i need it after wards, cant i just toss it away ? that was a bit uncomfortable.
loved the amount of items in game, the armor and the sword it was just awesome, but still steel swords were far better than other weapon. The other melee options simply didnt had any benefits, for example you can do more dismemberment with axes, no -- there was none of that. but its fine anyway, since they were used by other NPC.
Another things that was a little disapointing was maybe my over expectation of the 16 different endings, I though what they meant was completely different endings which was not like that. they should say 16 different play throughs since you can make 16 BIG differnet choices in the game, but the ending was the same in all of them, you fight the dragon in all of them, you choose what to do with letho in all of them, the only difference is the people that will accompany you, which will be either triss, roche or iorvert. but the endings are all the same.
I loved the game nonetheless, so I give it a score of 8 out of 10, to both witcher games, but they were all awesome and I liked it, and will most likely play them again.
Hope you like it.
