Bad voice acting? The script might have had a few bad mistakes (probably a result of bad translation), but I never found the voice acting bad. I'm also one of the only people who actually enjoyed the rhythm based combat system. But then again, I'm a HUGE Witcher fan so I just ignore any flaws the game has.
Dude have you played the witcher 1? I would suggest play the first two first it does follow each other so you will miss a lot of references and the story does matter compared to most games these days.Quote:

It will be a while before I can play this game maybe atleast 4 years :p
I read you thought new vegas was hard? The witcher makes that game look really easy. Both games are really hard though once you get the rythym of it it gets easier.Quote:
Haven't played any of The Witcher series.
Is it recommend I start with the 1st and 2nd or can I go straight to The Witcher 3?
I couldn't stand all the American voice actors in a fantasy game :p Just my preference. You have to admit that it did sound rather bland for all the characters other than the main ones. Geralt's voice is awesome, but those generic NPCs were just copy pasted. Maybe it was just me? The Witcher 2 fixed most if not all my issues with the voice actors. I don't remember anything particularly jarring like my experiences with W1.Quote:

I too am a massive Witcher fan, but you need to criticise so people can improve :p W3 will be the first game that I've pre-ordered in a very long time. Collections Edition here I come (hopefully) :) It's a sigh of relief to have a good, challenging (Dark Mode feels like an accomplishment) and ultimately entertaining game to stand out from all these dumbed down games that we've been getting recently. I have high hopes for W3, hopefully they don't disappoint.
Witcher 2 was actually much easier than Witcher 1 IMO. Even before all the patches that made it easier.
Just please, no corsets CD Projekt. Geralt isn't a ballerina. Especially after coming from the amazing W1 and W2 armor styles.
You make some very valid points there. Some of the voices were pretty generic yeah. You should try playing it in Polish with English subtitles, makes a HUGE difference in the quality of voice acting. Actually finished both games like that.Quote:

Really looking forward to W3 and IMO CDPR cannot disappoint. The best developer in the business hands down.
I'll try that when I do another playthrough near to when Witcher 3 is released. From what I've read on the forums, they're looking to bring back the pirouettes and some of the other moves from W1. Anything is better than W2's roll roll hit, roll roll quen, roll roll hit. :DQuote:

When I did my signs playthough, I actually didn't roll as much as when I focused on swordsmanship. Igni and Aard become super powerful after you drink some sign intensifying potions. I think the game is much more fun when you play as a 'mage'. Being able to hex everyone is quite funny.
I did the opposite route. I went mage first time followed by swordsman.Quote:

My pleasure :D CD Projekt know how to make fantastic trailers. Love the music so far, and everything showed was rendered in realtime.Quote:
