So I finally finished the game. I actually got a situation with which I am extremely happy, everything seemed to work out well. I have to reapeat, Quen is by far the best thing to happen in this game. I went swordsman, and then put the rest of my points into magic, specifically the two that upgrade Quen to ridiculous levels. By the end i woudl jsut put it up and wade into a group of baddies, just slashing left and right, and if I got hit I lsot no damage and 3 of them got stunned. The AoE sword ability is also absolutely sick. Played it on Hard and I died about 14 times on the very first encounter. After that I only died if I made some weird mistake here or there. Quen!

Chapter 3 was also a huge pain in the ass to navigate and get to wehre you need to. What's sad is that i thought chapter 2 sucked ass in that regard and I didn't think it would get any worse.

2 days that was quick 

So how long do you think it took you? Also did you try complete all the side quests or just followed the story to the end?

27 hours and somwhere aroudn 20 mins. I did do absolutely every quest I ran into and spent good amounts of time in towns hunting thigns down. I failed one basic monster hunting quest at the very very end (eventhough i think I found all the things I had to destroy) and that was because the town is just fuckign stupid when it comes to finding things you need. Also I feel like there was some form of riddle involved and it is 4 am so I didn't even want to waste more time on it. Other than that, any quest I found I finished (some are just plain terrible without any walkthrough up online) and I feel like I hunted just about every possible quest given my path.

Also there are some choices which could mean a compeltely different game after the first chapter, but I am not entirely sure since I didn't do any backtracking, I just winged it and came out pretty good.

I am so glad this came around, this makes Dragon Age 2 look even worse than the bucket of shit it was (because you can actually compare this fighting with DA2), so I don't even know how to insult Dragon Age 2 properly now.

Edit: I am still pissed about the removal of the sex cards. I am however kind of surprised just how much the game got away with with an M rating and not an AO, it definitely pushed it very far.

Edit 2: I decided to download Fabel 3 because I was pretty sure it is crap in comparison, and I am so glad I did so. Just stick with Witcher 2. It also as SecuROM and I didn't want to get computer AIDS for no good reason. The UI of the wiutchr is kind of really shitty though, I don't know what they did there....
