It's got a more defined style with the light and the environments. In terms of this series, this entry is probably the best *looking*. All three of these games are very different from each other as well as all other video games (for better and worse). RPG needs to live! It needs you to buy it! In all its forms! and we do not get many of them! Sornbuy it. Dragon Age committedrnsuicide in my opinion.rnThis is just another top notch RPG. or the one after that.rnThe Witcher 2 is simply one great game and I accomplished not tornmention up to now the beautiful locations and all around graphics.rnIs this the official dethronement of Bioware? No.rnIs this the official dethronement of Dragon Age? No.

The Witcher 2 has lots of bugs, which annoy, but do not destroy the it!rnThe Witcher 2 has 2 big patches which make the above statement just 40% true!rnThe Witcher 2 gets free DLC with every patch!rnThe Witcher 2 has great combat,rnThe Witcher 2 has one hell of a great story, which seems to really find it's ending in the next Witcher. Best sex scene ? ME1 then Heavy Rain then The Witcher2!rnOK, so lets cut to the basics, and lets get to the end of this. The voices, the sounds, the whole audio in them seems badly done. The soft-porn scenes are a better concept. is it better because of it?rnI have heard praises as wall as critiques, here is my take on this:rnThe sex cards were a stupid concept. In both ME and DA the sex seemed more explicit in the first ones, then in their sequels. The save game import is not really a very sophisticated function and it really needs to grow.rnOK let's talk about sex!rnI am sorry I am comapring this so much to BW, but BW is my favorit company, so I know their games. The Witcher is somewhere between those 2, closer to the DA. If we are talking about Dragon Age the import is really under-utilized here. than you might miss out most in the Mass Effect franchise. Is it done great? Does it justify playing the earlier game just to get different starting scenarios?rnWell ask youself: DO YOU LIKE THE EARLIER GAME? If no. is this the holy grail of non-linear RPG? NornBut it IS the closest thing anyone has come close to.rnNow the other thing: Save game import. BUT the Elven story is definitely stronger in it's narrative!rnSo in the end. I recommend to play both paths, because they are both great. if you choose to go with the Elves it seems there is simply much more to it. most comments I read, said the elven story is better and although both were engaging and fun I have to agree. OK, but let us get to the question no one asked. Playing it the second time around I felt like "touched for the very first time". Those paths are not just side missions, they completely change the location, the characters, the quests, the tone, it is COMPLETELY different. Just two? Well, for one thing, THAT is already twice as much as any other BioWare game. Now that still does not sound very non-linear. But: Enter the Witcher 2.rnYou get to choose one of (OMG!) 2 different paths to get to the 1 ending (with 16 variations). I love me a good BioWare game, loved all of them besides one. The End -with trillions different WRITTEN endings in DA:O -with 2 different animated endings in ME1 -with one ending in ME2rnNow, I am not saying this is bad. Choose C or D.rnFINALE which is impacted by decisions from locations 1, 2. And that is the ground by which the Witcher 2 dethrones EVERYTHING that has come before it!rnBioWare games go like this:rnGo to location 1.
It is about the various ways your journey will go, to get you to the one ending with 16 variations. JUST as in Mass Effect 2, or is there more to it?rnWell there is more to it, because the game is not about the (over-hyped) endings. So the final outcome of the Witchers Non-linearity is not THAT amazing and it comes down to who lived, who died.

Now ask your selfs: How many possible ending-scenarios would that be: more than 400 plus destroying collector base or not and you can double that number. does this really qualify as 16 endings? Let's go with a Mass Effect comparison: you have like 12 companions, each one can be (dis-)loyal at the end, each one can be disloyal and each one can die. Now, do I feel, that the non-linearity in the W2 lived up to it's hype? No.rnDo I believe, that this is the most Non-linear Game ever made (with nice graphics at least.)? Yes.rnThe devs have been bragging about the 16 endings, now.
as long as you have the illusion of choice, it is good. I feel like non-linearity in games is like choices in the matrix. Now the main marketing focus was the non-linear story, and that is what I would like to concentrate on. So now I feel like I am competent enough to review this game.
Finally I completed my second Witcher 2 playthrough.
