Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings

Use Quen and Yrden, the traps are really useful as well.

Got this the other, about time I bought a game in a genre I'm good at (bloody strategy :E )

Must say its quite good so far, the combat is a little dissapointing and the targetting system was shat out by the devil himsself, but the writings brilliant, its not too hard on my ageing system and theres seemingly lots of depth.

Taking it very slow atm, I tend to rush through new games and miss good bits out so making sure I get everything/talk to everyone etc. The interface could do with a bit of tweaking/modding though. Anyone know of any good mods to keep an eye on yet?

I was with you until you said something bad about Baldur's Gate 2.

BURN HIM.

Yep, I just went back and reinstalled BG 1 & 2 plus expansions. The story is just that good.

Was DA2 that bad? Loved first one but never got around to playing the second.

It was bloody poor compared to the first, it was DLC quality at best, in no way a sequel of any kind.

games actually really tough...

 

[Helme]

It gets easier, unfortunately but it's still leagues above most other games in the genre when it comes to difficulty. Which is kind of a sad comment on the current state of games

 

[ST^]

There were really only two moments that were difficult for me, and I dealt with them by dropping 10-20 traps before "popping" the enemies

Geralt is a Witcher. Make use of everything he has!

Just can't find the motivation to get through Witcher2. The combat annoys me. The "hit, roll, Quen, hit, roll" thing is just not capturing me.

That easily the worst change they made in Witcher 2. The combat system in 1 with all the combo's was one of it's strongest elements. Now its just boring.

I picked up Divinity II - Dragon Knight Saga in the Steam sale recently. Despite being being a "cheap" Dragon Age 2 / Witcher 2 clone it has one thing both those lack. It's fun.
