I'll give it a chance to have patched some actual fun in. Not like it costs me anything.

Never mind the game, the patcher is horrible. I keep getting random disconnects (that force a restart from scratch), and the one complete download I got was corrupted. edit: http://en.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29831-patch-downloader-always-fails/  edit2: because no one clicks on links and this is just too funny -- they want you to manually compare 32 digit hexadecimal hashes. 36 of them. Using the mk.I eyeball. |

On the plus side, the launcher's graphics config screen now displays properly if you're not using the stock Windows font size.  |

Just saw this came out on 360. Have they made any announcements for a PS3 version?

I forgot how hard this game is at the beginning |

Finished the Enhanced Edition last night. Some thoughts:

So this is on sale as part of the Autumn Steam sale - I still can't work out if people enjoyed it or not...

I found it unplayable with a mouse. If you don't have a controller I wouldn't bother.

Solely responsible for the thread on "The Condom Wall."

I found it perfectly playable, and that was before the patch that made the combat more accessible. Story and emotional attachment wise I prefered the first one (already starting to forget what happened in W2), but I think most people say W2 was superior in that department as well. |
Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic!

Every time I start it, I just find the tutorial so unfun in its mechanics that I put it aside, thinking I'll come back to it later.

Play it on easy, and the game is tolerable due to the shitty combat.
Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

You can probably bump the difficulty back up once you hit chapter 2. It gets to be a little more even there. Plus, you'll actually have enough levels to adequately deal with groups. There's less dumb boss fights there as well.

Honestly, the tutorial was the hardest fight in the game. Which is hilarious if you think about it.
Except the tentacle monster thing, but that has a gimmick you either do right, or you die. QTE 4TL

Man I STILL remember that tutorial. It really was the hardest part, all that flipping. I found it manageable on the keyboard. But if not for how awesome the world looked, I'm not sure I woulda powered through. I don't remember the exact tentacle monster encounter, but I did a subconscious shudder when I saw those words. So it musta been painful  |
