tl;dr: Most of the hype around this game was justified and it is indeed one of the best modern RPGs available. Despite my earlier notes, there are still a couple of things I’d like to add. The game, to me, is great in all the points that matter the most. I’m a fan of the [...]
As usual, I’ve forgotten lots of things, everything not written down immediately, is gone. That’s what’s left then. [I updated most of the things that are fixed/changed now!] What I don’t like that much: – The sliders in menus don’t have arrows and trying to browse through them with the cursor keys is hopeless, because [...]
It’s so abysmal to me, that the Witcher 2 is gonna get some negative form of “criticism” for a level of “nudity”, that is an accepted standard in movies since the eighties (think Mel Gibson pretending to have intercourse with Patsy Kensit in Lethal Weapon).

Hating “anonymity” on the net is hating free speech is hating freedom is hating… democracy.
I’ve recently played XIII (first time) and was surprised, how good it looks. Usually 3D graphics this old (2003) look horrible today (just doesn’t age as well as e.g. drawn adventures), but in the case of XIII, the style really makes all the difference (being creative payed off). It’s a shame, no one makes such [...]
