I have to say I am a bit,, disappointed,, and then again I liked the game but the ending?,, so I guess there is going to be a witcher 3,,, or what? well I only played it on normel and will surely play it on hard,, playing on insane would be,, insane,, I dont see how you can make it through without reloading a single time,, especially with those instant deaths,,

when I first started playing,, I got so pissed of at the camera,, but I got used to it so that only made gameplay better,, playing was really tough in the start,, I never bin so pissed of at a game then I hat to the end of act 1,, it was there I boosted the quen sign up,, which is just a god sign,,, and in the end of the game it was the only thing I used,, yrdan sign could be useful,, but failed alot vs boss which is where I wanted it to work,,,,,

dont know what I am to say about the builts,, well I guess you can become a minor mage with your signs,, and maybe throws some bombs,, but I am certain the swordman with quen sign is the best really,, I used throwing knives at the early of the game,, but I quickly lost its uses,, or maybe thats just me,,,

seems like the wanted to make somekind of thiefling out of geralt,, which I did not like,, nor that he for some reason ended up being at lvl 1,, and having no special attack,, no witcher style,, just fast or hard hits,,, well and they fixed the parry so its more real,, used it little also,, lossing your vigor is annoying,, but skills could improve that too I guess,, still quen>

the hardest boss I say was in the eternal battle boss,, that sicko killed me alot of time,, and won on luck really,, I got caught in his charge so many times and could not get away,, hit me while I get up again,, that was tough,, the letho fight in the end was just rediculessly easy,,

but the is alot of choises and many possible outcomes that you can make,, and the fact that the some of the choises from the first game also apear,, now thats nice,, good voices and everyone speak,, no text, I cant remember if that was in the first one too,, but then again they changed some of the voices,,, like zoltan,,, grrr,,

the fist fight and the arm wrestling,, games that should depend on some str is now all about clicking buttons,, why fist fighting I liked in the first one,, although too easy and bugged,, now its even more,, 4 buttons? come on,, and only have to press 2 in total,,

well there is alot of good things and bad things about the game,, I say its a ok game

now to play it on hard and go with Iorveth instead,, and maybe not save triss,,

oh and where is shani in all of this,, in my loadings I hat gone with her instead of triss,, oh well cant get everything

(What's with the comma duplication? Do you use double commas in Denmark? And I don't see a single use of a standard period. :/ )

Obnoxious writing aside, I'll try to figure out what you're trying to communicate. Yes, the ending definitely sets up a continuation of the story, of some sort (we don't know if we can expect it in an upcoming expansion, or if we have to wait for a third instalment altogether). The difficulty of the game is greeted differently from player to player. Some think it's really hard, even on Normal and Easy, while others feel it's way too easy even on Insane (and yes, there are plenty of players who have finished the game on that level). Regarding your comments on character builds, any build is viable, granted you know how to utilize their various tools and play-styles fully. The one thing that's inarguably true, however, is that the Alchemy tree is the most powerful there is; many claim it's even poorly balanced because of this. The sheer amount of extra damage and damage reduction you receive simply from having a potion effect active, outdoes any kind of bonus you would get from the Swordsman tree. Not to mention that the Berserk mode allows you to pretty much kill everything in one hit (a famous video on Youtube shows an alchemy-build Geralt killing all the end-bosses of the game, in just one or two hits each).

Both bombs and throwing daggers are insanely powerful - even more so if you grab the talents that improve their effects, of course. Several encounters in the game even become a joke if you use these tools the right way; which has made these tactics be looked down upon as 'cheese tactics.' CDPR have tried to balance it out a bit, and made certain bosses more or less immune to daggers, but it's still quite possible to breeze through some of the tougher fights by spamming bombs, for example.

Regarding the voice-acting, yes even TW1 was fully voiced. The change in budget and time spent in the recording studio resulted in a much more solid voice performance all across the board, in TW2. At least for the English dubbing. Most of the voices they changed actors or actresses for, make perfect sense when you are able to compare the two. The quality difference is staggering; Zoltan is vastly superior in TW2 than he is in TW1 - even though personal preference might still interfere, of course. Oh, and Shani was indeed retconned out of TW2. I personally don't mind, since I thought Shani was one of the worst-portrayed characters in TW1, but I do understand those of you who are upset by this.

If you are displeased with certain aspects of the game, it wouldn't hurt to check out The Witcher Nexus for mods to install. I personally recommend:
Better Combat (together with this mod) for re-balanced skills and talents;
CEO for re-balanced items;
HUD Tweaks and Panel Tweaks for a vastly improved UI;
and of course Return of the White Wolf in order to restore Geralt's white hair from the books and the first game.

ahhh good info,, I did look a bit at youtube,, its just at first look, those skills look pretty weak,, guess with right gear,, runes etc that might work out great

still I prefer being a swordman :) oh and the commas,, well dont really know how to explain that,, no we dont do that in denmark I guess thats just how I do on the internet,, ´lol

I started playing on hard and ya the challenge is great as a swordman,,, so easy to die but now when your use to the control its alot more easy then when I started,, still think later on I might get annoyed,, I guess that alot has done it on insane,,

maybe if I memorys the things in the game I can do it, still first encounter of drowners can kill you if they hit you before you hit them,, supriced me,,,, so I am more careful now

Its not that I liked shani more then triss,, but I kinda like things to be correct,, still,, its a game,, but somethings need to make sence,, and the lacks a bit of that

but as much as the game has flaws,, it has good parts too :)
