Witcher The big fight in CH. 1 everyone complains about

The Witcher
My biggest problem is the scripting effects the developers use, since I always side with Abby and use Aard I really haven't had trouble, as she heals and I stun.
However once the Beast is dead and I am forced into conversations with the Reverend the whole group is beating up Abby while I am forced to chat.
I really hope to hell things like this are just untweaked designs due to being released a bit early, otherwise they are just blatantly bad design decisions.
The same thing happens with Vesna Hood, while escorting her home safely, I was forced into conversations with her, while the Bugerest were attacking her, it's very damn frustrating.

Have I mentioned how much I dislike cut scene dialogues that disrupt the flow of gameplay, especially before/during/after battles!!

I can't imagine anyone liking them Corwin, and I share your pain. I think, in answer to Acleacius, it has to be unintentional design flaw, or even a 'bug,' rather than this problem be a conscious decision by the devs. I can't imagine them purposely having you chat with an NPC while simutaneously watching a nasty monster charging from behind. I especially think it's a bug of sorts, as I have had other problems with cut-scenes in general. I've elaborated about the problems in another thread.

I remember one game that shall forever remain un-named that had monsters attack you during conversations, because it was 'more realistic' since the real world doesn't 'pause' while you talk!! SHUDDER!!!!

Not forbidden, but its name sends shudders through most of the people who visit here; it's not hard to guess!! :)

You know, most of the acronyms thrown around here I figure out, but I don't have a clue on that one!

BTW... somone should have told the devs of Two Worlds and The Witcher that ONE of them would have to change the name - they both have the same acronyms, and that just doesn't cut it around here! :lol:

Sorry, Jabberwocky--I just know the short list of shuddery titles. ;) I'm probably wrong, too.
I agree that the TW acronym is confusing. I think Two Worlds should be the one to change, maybe to '2W', especially since the title has apparently nothing to do with the game.

I think the "2 Worlds" are the opposite worlds of Gothic and Elder Scrolls. The game "Two Worlds" straddles the middle best I can tell from feedback. ;)

Well, I believe you can just hit esc to skip the video parts.

Yeah, they are making it tough with the acronyms, I like the 2W idea magerette and I even tried tW since "the" usually never gets a capitol in an acronym, iirc but it just looks weird.

Now i am worried that people think that POR2 had dialouge problems. :)

I must fight for this gem of game, in every instance.

I kept hoping we would run into the Reverend's
daughter
to help her against that bastard, well at least I didn't through completing chapter 3. :(

You probably have, I think.
Carmen is the Reverend's daughter, IIRC.
