Rarely do you make a choice that doesn’t have some significant impact, which is another huge plus.Ĭombat is another area where The Witcher 2 shines. These choices also have definite impact on not only the ending, but on current world events, and resonate throughout the story. In fact, The Witcher 2 literally swims in a sea of grey moral issues, which really forces the player to make decisions based on what they actually think is right or wrong, as opposed to what the developers have deemed to be good or bad. It also has one of the best morality systems in place I’ve seen in a video game, in that there are a number of choices that need to be made that aren’t clearly good or evil. That’s not to say that it’s overly confusing, just that you’ll find yourself actually needing to pay attention to the events around you. Seriously, this story is about as involved as you can get, and it doesn’t hesitate to bathe you in terminology, names, and other lore that you might not fully grasp the first time through. These two plot lines interweave a tale of political conspiracy, more kingly murder, former friends turned foes, and a number of complicated elements that propel Witcher 2 past normal video game plotline fluff. After the king he was in service of is murdered, Geralt now faces the harsh sentence of Regicide, and needs to clear his name. Geralt is a mutated human, specializing in killing monsters, that’s suffered a severe bout of amnesia and is stuck trying to piece his life together. The world found in the Witcher 2 is often harsh, ugly, and downright cruel, just like most of its inhabitants.īattling through moral quandaries, demons, and other obstacles is Geralt of Rivia, the “hero” of the Witcher series, and the character you have direct control over. It’s one of the most well thought-out RPG stories you’re likely to find across any platform, full of not particularly pleasant characters inhabiting a dark fantasy world that’s certain to draw comparisons to the now wildly popular A Song of Ice and Fire novels (Game of Thrones) from George R.R. The Witcher 2’s biggest strengths lie with its excellent world, characters, and overall plot. It’s also a damn good port, and hopefully it appeals to folks that haven’t played it before, because CD Projekt Red really poured a lot of work into pulling this off. Granted, you might feel a little lost coming into the experience without having played the original Witcher, a game you should totally seek out if you have an opportunity to do so on PC, but Witcher 2 works really well as a stand-alone tale for the most part. Red has been used to mark NPCs and monsters, blue for locations, green for all sorts of items, and orange for quest names.People have been clamoring for a console port of the excellent PC Witcher series for years now, and we’re getting at least halfway there with this release, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition for Xbox 360.
