The quest where you autopsy the body was genius. Never seen its like before or since. There was plenty of evidence to uncover and you could arrive at quite wrong conclusions if you were not thorough with your investigation.
I'll second that. Great quest! The best! That quest is a great friend. Very smart. All the other quests are pathetic. Hah, ok, sorry… Sometimes I can't help myself. It just comes out. But, yes, it's a great quest. Among many great quests in The Witcher.
I find it interesting that he says the combat sounded bad but played well. I think it sounds bad and plays worse. But, I don't know, maybe it was better in the context of 2007. I've been playing it off and on for almost two years now and the combat (that god damn swamp!) keeps driving me off.
..., everyone seems to forget that if an engine sucks in the first place, a game can't blossom on it!
I'm still trying to get my head around how some people who call themselves "RPG players" say that they didn't finish TW1 because of the combat!
1- it's not a frigging hack & slash or even an ARPG and
2- maybe combat wasn't all that great but missing on a very good RPG because of that?
Yeah. Also Trump is the president. Such a perfect world.NwN has had excellent modules, just saying. Skyrim's engine is also a smoking wreck however it still got GOTY, and "blossomed" off the modding community.
