The Witcher 2 (PC) (360 soon)

[Candyman5]

Paid off the rest of my preorder and picked up the strategy guide today from Gamestop. I'm ready.

I thought the enhanced edition came with a book that described ever quest in the game in detail?


Sent from me, duh.

Gamestop's description says: "QUEST HANDBOOK The Witcher 2 quest handbook for both novice and experienced role-playing fans."

It does come with the handbook. I was just being nerdy. I just wanted to have a piece of the game early.

I understand. This feels so epic it's almost like the start of summer movie season.

Between this and Dragon's Dogma, I'm hoping my summer is set.

Re: The Witcher 2 (PC) (360 soon)

Just started chapter V of the first Witcher and have to say I can't wait to finish one and started two. This is a great series with an amazing story and equally amazing gameplay. The dialogue in the first is top notch, some of the best writing I've seen in a videogame besides the Mass Effect series.

Quick question, I bought two at target because it was on sale for 19.99, now if I want to upgrade to the enhanced version, I can do so for free at anytime?

Thanks

I think that the PC is getting a patch tomorrow of the things that were added to the 360 version. It supposed to be free. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I found the Xbox controller on the PC was superior to the mouse and keyboard and I am a mouse and keyboard player. It just felt better.
