coastie65: We had a pretty interesting discussion at the forums I moderate on that. Commodore had some pretty nice Desktops out in the U.K. running an Intel Quad Core some years ago. The lowest priced one was some $2000 USD. Still haven't seen anything "Official" on that, and that site is about as close to " Official" as I have seen. The last I heard, and that was some time ago, Commodore wasn't even sure about returning to the U.S.

Thwip: I started out with a Commodore P.E.T. small keyboard, 8K RAM. Commodore had its act together back then. Too bad the IBM PC killed them. The PET was the world's first all-in-one computer I think.

Back to Witcher 2. I'm not noticing much, if any, difference with QTE on or off. This is on easy.
Never turned it off. But I think what it does is it gets rid of some QTE (like spacebar) while leaving others intact. Not sure if it changes the timer or anything.

I've not seen the space bar required in any QTE so far. There seems to be a hidden timer in Save the Elven Women. I gave up trying to beat it.

Gidzin: Sorry to hear about the MS and glad you can play....after months playing on the old Gamecube's controller I developed a frozen shoulder and had mos of therapy to fix it...so I'm avoiding gamepads for now....

AudreyWinter: Oooops, so my shoulder and back pain are indeed from the controller (I had several theories)? It was pretty bad two weeks ago and I'm still recovering. Shouldn't have played that other game with controller before TW2... Then I guess it's a "good thing" I can't play at all right now due to a lack of desktop pc, meh. But I'm learning to have better posture while playing and taking breaks, if combat is too taxing. Still better than cramped fingers and frustration. ;)
It's probably posture. I get that when I spend 12 hrs sitting here and I have a comfortable chair that I can lean back in. Not al that time is gaming though as I moderate a forum and visit other forums such as Tom's Hardware and MaximumPC ( and game related forums ). I catch myself in some pretty awkward positions at times and that is when I have the back and shoulder pain, then it is time to hit the Aleve.

LOL. If not probably should be.

I have not had a chance yet to try and get away from that dragon! Too much work and daughter's college graduation. I am sure with all of the tips I will be able to get past the beast.

It is good to know I am not the only one who endures pain in my arm and shoulders . Getting older is not for cowards.

Good to see a lot of other over 50 playing this game. Hopefully the developers will take notice that a lot of people playing their game have some form of disability. This may influence how they develop future games.

Hello all i am new to the forums just posted somewhat of a critique of combat as i see it in comparison to combat from the first Witcher and there is no comparison the combat in the first one was better. This combat mechanic has turned the game into a click fest that if you can hit the left click, no need to bother with the right click, if you left click fast enough NOTHING and I mean NOTHING can stand against you, signs alchemy are irrelevant. What i have taken to doing is to lock onto a target and then with my left index finger to secure the mouse in one spot, by removing my right hand from the mouse entirely i can click fast enough that combat is simple. Just toss a Quen to negate the first blow while you get into position, lock onto a target, do as i described previously and "left click" drive your opponent back to an obstruction if they even last that long.

Sorry for saying so even if only just past the first act as i am but i really REALLY miss the combat of the first game. too much "awesome button" this year in gaming.

I beg to differ about the click-fest comment. There is a limit to how fast Geralt can attack. Once you get blocked / hit, you will get staggered and will be open to counter-attack, regardless of how fast you click.
