I don't think anyone is that interested in the combat, wheres the video for the chicks you can bang?

 

[Arachon]

Frankly, I'm a bit disappointed to see that the skill trees have been cut down so drastically, but on the other hand, the Witcher's skill system was somewhat convulted and bloated, maybe this is for the better, I'm not sure.

 

[Frizzle]

I really can't wait for this game. I wish it would come out sooner, I've been excited about this for a while.

 

[Owlslayer]

Well, it does look nice, though i haven't even played the first one , so what do i know.
Still, I'd try this out. Some of that combat looked liked Batman:AA, though a bit less fluid. But nice enough for me.

Wow.. this has come a long way since the previews.

Any word on a.. console-release just yet..?

That looked awesome! Now I just gotta finish up my latest Witcher 1 run to get a nice save-file to export .

[Irridium]

I want this game. Right fucking now.

Why cant i freeze myself untill the lunch =(?

I don't think the lunch is good enough to freeze yourself for...

"Deadly Effective"? Someone has to make a Meme out of that. >.>

As a polish native speaker I don't see why such translation is a big thing - it's a normal word metaphor.

The first one bore me just after the tourturial ended - I hope this one will do a better job.

 

[The.Bard]

It looks like CD Projekt are taking the cue from other great devs like Bioware and Bethesda: improvement via simplification and streamlining. This is a GREAT thing for people like me who love RPGs but don't have oodles of time to spend on insanely complex systems.

Loved the first game, but it was wicked cumbersome. This looks like a much smoother - and hopefully less tedious - experience. Can't wait!

 

[Aldan9]

WANT!

 

[DannibalG36]

Am I going to be the only person to say that this might be the most gorgeous RPG made to date?

 

[Wolfram23]

Looking great!

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Looking very pretty. This might be some of the cleanest looking fighting in games. It looks like a lot of blocks and parrying before landing one or two actual blows to kill someone. I like that more than chopping away at health.

They haven't been cut down drastically, there are just fewer icons. The Witcher 1 had a lot of icons because each individual level had it's own icon, while in The Witcher 2, only individual skills have their own icon, you increase the level using the same icon.

I can't be the only one who finds the accent of the guy in the video grating. I'm sure my own accent is much worse but this is a trailer for a major RPG, couldn't you have found an English person to read it for you? Maybe an eager fan? I'm sure you could have found someone to do it for free if you tried. I just found it distracting and at odds with the stunning visuals on screen.

Bitching aside I like what I see, everything so far makes it sound like an excellent game. It's a shame I won't be able to play it on my ancient PC.
