I know I've raved about the textures and graphics in another topic, but Witcher 2 is only the second game ever to make me start again as soon as I'd finished it (the other was ME2 and I started again with ME1!). The storyline - whichever one you pick - is not short of brilliant. If you have delicate ears then don't bother with it because the language is absolutely foul in places but it's not gratuitous; it's done to match the situation. Even if you - as Cal Jones put it for The Witcher - "find it difficult to side with terrorists" I say that you must play both sides of the story because they are so different. Chapters 1 and 2 are the same for both storylines until you see a quest marked 'At A Crossroads - <name>"; save a game here because this is the dividing point.

I can promise that Witcher 2 Chapter 1 is not the slog that The Witcher Chapter 1 was. Despite the irritation of being shorn of everything I'd collected playing The Witcher, the tutorial chapter was enjoyable. You can import any savegame from the Iceworld in The Witcher which does have a continuity influence on some conversations.

Oh - and it's full of seriously funny easter eggs. No spoilers here!!

Thank you so much for your post, Yovaneth! I bought TW2 on day 1, but still haven't managed to get around to it (if I had one wish, I would wish for 48 hour days). I'm definitely going to try and make an effort to set aside some time to play this.

There is one downside: PCDR couldn't get the same voice actress for Triss Merigold. Unfortunately rather than try to find another English accent they went with an American one and it *just* *doesn't* *work*. Whoever did it simply didn't 'get' Triss Merigold and probably didn't listen to the original VO actress.

I had a feeling that it was a different voice actress as well...Also I think there might be a different one for Zoltan as well...Could be wrong though...

But like Yovaneth stated...It is quite a good game and at the very least requires 2 times playing the game over!
