Yes, my computer can run it.

HLTB has the time for The Witcher at almost twice the time as Witcher 2. That seems...unusual.


Why skip it? Would you want to skip DA:O or ME1?

I wasn't sure how closely they were connected. Was it like an ME thing (direct connection), a DA thing (a less direct connection), more of a Final Fantasy type thing (no substantive connection), or somewhere in between?

I skipped it, partially because there wasn't controller support and partially because I couldn't get into the combat.

It's like ME, it is a direct continuation of the story.

Nope, I am happy to play games with KB/Mouse

To wit, John: I completed Dragon Age I and II and all their DLC and expansions using a controller. You, stuck with a Mouse and KB, have yet to finish the first one despite two attempts.

The first attempt was lost due to hard drive failure. I also have an issue where I basically have to 100% and do all side missions which slows my progress. My 2nd attempt is still open, I am actually about 85-90% done

The physical version of The Witcher Enhanced Edition comes with a full walkthrough, which is extremely helpful.

Also, people play WRPGs with controllers?! :wink:

Hard drive failure? Seems like another argument for playing the series on a console. I did all the side missions and what not too (as well as all DLC and expansion stuff), and all with a controller. Like a boss.

Consoles have hard drives as well that can fail... I actually lost all my progress on my PS3 gmes when the console crapped out.
