All these thoughts reflect solely myself and no one rep MMO Champion.
Now I do not know what I expected, the first game lets just say it wasn't that great. So spoilers ahead. A nice warning before you coutinue to read then blame me for reading spoilers. Good enough pause alright.
Now you played as the exact same PC as you did from "The Witcher" this should work as an example to Bioware, who prides themselves off making creative story lines and moral choices games. While DA2 was not a direct squeal. At the start of the game you must explain to a man named Roche that you are innocent. Everyone thinks you killed a king!
It wasn't you, it was a large man dressed as a blind monk, who escaped through the window. Since Roche wont allow you to take the wrap, you leave the dungeon in two separate ways depending on what you told him. (I.e. if you told him you killed that guy, whos been were shooting down arrows) then someone requests you to sneak out. (If you didn't kill that guy) you have to fight your way out with him. Following that you go into a second town.
Let me just throw another elbow to Dragon Age 2 when we have to reuse the exact same locations for dozens of quests. Well you get to explore at least three separate towns in the Witcher 2, with each of the people having their own problems to deal with. Not all of them are boring. For example I recall their is one quest in the second camp, where this man is going to fight two people.
His honor won't allow him to back down so its your choice if you help him in the combat. In return his Father helps you with a certain quest. Not to get too deep in the story line. Yes this game does
Some things I'm impressed with:
In Heavy Rain on the PS3 they had a system where a symbol appears for a few seconds if you fail to kick it the other person hits you. In the Witcher 2 while you are brawling. No longer are you smashing buttons with your fists. You have to press the button exactly when that button flashes on screen.
Nudity, it's so nice not to be treated like a bunch of kids. In a game where you kill maybe over a hundred NPC's you would see some nudity. They are not shy unlike DA2 about showing off their goods. Before I am flamed burned "Girls boobs equal no story line" let me remind you that love, has been apart of storylines.
You can't have a great story line without some brief nudity or intense romance. While other games hide under the sheets. The Witcher 2 lets it all hang out which is great because if society can get used to the idea of sex not being something that be blocked. Maybe we can get more decent games.
