The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

For years i had my best 2 favorite games and searched for number 3 in vain. 1, Baldur's Gate 2. Planescape Torment I finally found it 3. The Witcher All of them take the first place in my heart but the order i played them remains the one above!

I will keep it short, this game features probably the best voice acting and story development that I have ever seen, in line with any other cd game. However I must say that the studio failed terribly with the gameplay. It is clunky, repetitive, lacks any sort of control or polish, you get his and receive no damage feedback, the save system is absolutely horrible and leaves you to repeat the same area over and over again as you cannot save mid gameplay. Honestly I would have given a 5 star if the fighting and gameplay were steller but they just aren't

If you can install in linux it is nice, apart from the dice in the game I'm loser! since it is some ubuntu back (we're at 20.04), why not create the witcher packages in Appimage or Flatpak ... even Snap to the Limit! universal formats, which have all their dependencies internally and which will also be usable for other linux and future versions of ubuntu.

My coolest videogame moment was when I replayed this game for the first time, choosing a diferent option at the end of Act 1. The story is really complex. If you pay attention and have some knowlege of the books this game starts to click and really make sense. And I can't explain how incredibly it feels. If you know nothing of the books you are "roleplaying" as amnesia Geralt ( or Witcher 1 Geralt), and you will be able to enjoy quite a lot of the game. BUT if you have some knowlege of the books you beguin to feel like post-amnesia Geralt ( Witcher 2 Geralt) and things starts to make sense. I don't know if it was intentional or pure luck, but it is a pretty cool way to reward you if you are paying attention to the story or even read the books. The most ambitious game I ever played, even if it falls short in some areas. Definitely worth it! P.S.: If you do buy it, please complete the game more than one time. Choosing Yorveth (non-humans) and BRoach ( humans) path. You will not regret it =)

Witcher 2 hätte ein richtig gutes Spiel werden können, die Hauptstory mit all ihren Intrigen, Wendungen und Einflussmöglichkeiten darauf bot den idealen Hintergrund dafür. Leider hat man die Chancen, die einem geboten wurden, nicht genutzt, da man deutlich mehr Gewicht auf die Konsolen gelegt und damit drumherum im Vergleich zum ersten Teil eigentlich alles verschlimmbessert hat - Kampfsystem, Inventar und Handel, Würfeln uvm haben eine falsche Richtung eingeschlagen. Dazu kommen technische Defizite (häufige Absürze*, fehlende Questmarker, Bugs in Questabläufen), störende Charakterwechsel sowie Momente, in denen das eigentlich sehr erwachsene Rollenspiel anscheinend plötzlich von einem 14jährigen DSA-Meister übernommen wurde. *Ich musste länger suchen, aber der Fehler ist wohl in der Lokalisation zu suchen. Nach einen Fan-Patch lief das Spiel weitestgehend stabil. Man suche nach "The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition German Crash Fix".
