Have they commented on length? Like an estimate
And is there multiple endings?

The thing is, the inmense majority of the squirrels were idiots. Dont get me wrong, the order was also idiotic, but against my typical gaming roots (be always a good person, helping those with more needs...) and would have probably go pro elf if the game was not so magnificent written to make both parties good and bad.
Normal elfs and dwarfs were awesome (dat zoltan), but the squirrels were a bunch of idiots that didnt know really for what they were fighting (like the majority of real world terrorists).
At first, even if i didnt like much the principles of the order, Sigfried was an awesome character and it made me root for them,
at the end I was neutral, its the best solution for the game, even if it was not totally good

Lovely pics! This thread has inspired me to finally install and play the copy of The Witcher that my brother gifted to me on Steam a while ago. 15 gb ahoy!
Is there anything I need to know before diving in to make the most of my playthrough? I'd love to finish it before the sequel arrives (already pre-ordered) but I don't want to rush it, either.

Dammit! The Witcher 2 isn't on the Australian Steam store for pre-order 
((
It was originally but it got taken down? Prolly because they're going to double the price for it later on.
In that case, are there any US gaffers that could gift the game to me? (I'll pay you first of course).

Thanks. I'll see 'er through.
If the ERSB decided to be dicks and say AO it would kill the game ever going retail. They basically can enforce censorship through the threat of the dreaded AO Rating.Salaadin said:

It really depends as you say alot of games can get away with things. Can a small time group like CD Projeckt get a pass like Sony can is an issue
Len Dontree said:
The combat gets better as you level up and unlock Geralt's longer attack sequences. During the prologue and chapter 1, just try to get a handle on the unique combat system. Preparation is half the battle in Witcher - suppose a quest informs you of the kind of monsters you might face, the optimal way of playing the game is to use the well-thought out alchemy system to brew various potions, oils and bombs to even the scales in your favor - you're no demi-god in this game. It's a wonderfully immersive game-world - take your time and read up on the rich in-game lore.
The main draw of the game is the quest design when it comes to choices and consequences - you will rarely experience black-and-white binary choices, and even the consequences are delayed and unpredictable. You can't just reload a save game and pick a different choice; you make the most of what you've chosen and forge ahead. More often than not, you end up choosing the lesser of 3 or 4 evils, and even then, it's all subjective.

Can someone list all the likely huge differences we could get from the first Witcher? They didn't seem to matter TOO much plot-wise in the game. For starters there is the demihuman(w/e)/templar/neutral choice... the romance choice...
EDIT: It might be the titties, but I am about to take off my pants for this game. PSP fund is about to be sabotaged for a new videocard.

Thanks! It really sounds like the type of game I've been itching for lately. I do have a soft spot for Bioware games, but it's refreshing to hear about how this one handles choice. The sequel looks even better of course, but I've put off playing the first one far too long.

CD Projekt's fake game The Bard is clearly taking shots at Bioware. Shitty Rock music, launch day DLC, and features almost no gameplay. Yep sounds exactly like DA2.

Stop it CDProjekt, you're making the entire industry look bad.
Fucking class act.
Can't fucking wait. AHH SO CLOSE!

It was so cool when they revealed all the different ways to buy and the various perks for each. I expected them to basically pad the gog version up so much that any other feels worthless but they didn't. I still feel like gog is the way to go but its nice to see that the other DD services aren't getting bare bones versionsZzoram said:

According to the unofficial FAQ:
Sounds like they don't find out till after it's sent out for review, which must happen soon.
GOG version is said to not be censored regardless of what happens to Steam/Retail.
I guess Steam has a policy of no AO games (makes sense since, well, I never saw one)? It would seem trivial to have an AO version and a censored M version if need be.
Zzoram said:
Still, TW1 was censored at first but for some reason the newest versions are not, guess ESRB changed their mind or didn't care, or may CDP self-censored it at first then changed their minds.

I can't remember the last time I was this fucking hyped for a game and with it being pretty much a known quantity at this point, man, bring it.
Reading the unofficial FAQ at the Witcher forums for the first time, it's refreshing to see a developer add more RPG features to a sequel, especially given the trend over the past half-a-decade for mainstream RPG games.
Furthermore, reading up on the combat system for the game has dispelled my only real worry for the game.

^^^ Pretty much to everything in this thread.
Building a gaming rig over the summer when I start my new job and this game is a big reason why.
