Actually the first boss in Witcher 1 is the hardest of the game, after that is piece of cake

What is your problem place/quest, amigo SS?

I am just entering a tavern in Vizima after my heroic battle

with some wolves with red eyes and saved Alvin - little kid.

@Capo

Caro signore,

would be so kind to share the info

about winning weapons for Geralt before meeting with

first boss?

Still no progress with 2

OFF

It was very funny for me to see some users writings:

-- Pls, help my PC discovered some unknown lang! What to do?

Ha ha ha

This uknown lang is Russion. User has 3 options:

Eng, Rus and Polish.

In my both games W 1 + 2 i work with Russian which is very near

to BG lang and i like this lang even it has terrible cases.

SS, maybe i translated wrong Cases? in fact Padejeys? Pls, help.

In all the Witcher games the only controllable character is Gerald.

Ah, you didn't see anything then. We'll see you after first act.

It's wrong on too many levels.

1. Battles. They are bearable, even if I cannot understand need of pausable/turn-based battles with rhythm-based attacks. But it simply doesn't work in any situation when I am thrown into battle immediately on the location start. I.e. always. If I am not in battle stance, Geralt reacts in 5-10 seconds of RT that can cost him life.

2. Non-linear encounters that I am not aware of. Geralt does what _he_ wants to do, asking _my_ opinion only in key moments. It was annoying in Prologue, but became true nuisance at the end of Act 1 (when I accidentally failed ALL my quests except plot ones - and discovered it hour and half afterwards, after three main quests).

3. Wonky scripts. It works fuzzy, and not always linear, so I have to sacrifice most of non-key NPCs - I simply too slow to save everyone when battle initiated simply by me being too close (linear-wise, but not necessary it's close by real way). Most NPCs also extremely fragile, so I had to protect all my comrades, otherwise they will be killed very soon. Also, in pair of places I got "second" reply that was answer for reply that I never did - or have chance to do.

4. Very clunky interface. I simply have no idea what I got, information-wise, and where to seek for it. Unforgivable for the game that have so much books. And transparent walls where I can parts of monsters from the other side. And chests/cupboards visible with names turned on. *sigh*

5. Mismatch Russian language. Short bearded race named "redmans" (краснолюды) in some cases and "dwarfs" (гномы) in the others. Sound levels can varied right during the same dialogue. Ow!

6. Overall grimdark setting. Initial Witcher series _is_ dark, but not to the level "everyone are filthy liers and traitors", as in this game. Slightly too far for me.

So, well, game is playable and maybe even good - but not exactly "mine".

Arcade, shooters or what?

Of course RPG but do not refuse good Shooter.

I am omnivore. I can play anything - my most weak places are slow reaction time and inability to control many events simultaneously. So platformers are usually "no", and RTS are "big no", except several obvious exclusions. Shooters, in other hand, usually fine, because I always can reduce amount of simultaneous enemies to mere several (And I am bad in cases when it's impossible). Physics "puzzles" annoys me too - puzzle without need of right answer, but with need to try to do something vaguely sensible enrages me. Mostly, that's all of my idiosyncrasies.

Err... Rephrase that? I didn't understand what exactly did you translate.
(And all inanimate objects will have different rules for cases. In that particular case "translated padejeys" implies that you percept cases as animated. Right word will be "padeji", just as name form.

Agree.
But try again.
If Not You have Save file.
Or Easy mode at last.

2. Non-linear encounters that I am not aware of. Geralt does what _he_ wants to do, asking _my_ opinion only in key moments.

No understand maybe because
i have still little XP and not reach these moments.

3. Wonky scripts. It works fuzzy, and not always linear, so I have to sacrifice most of non-key NPCs - I simply too slow to save everyone when battle initiated simply by me being too close (linear-wise, but not necessary it's close by real way).

I have no valuable opinion because
i protect only one semi-elf girl.

4. Very clunky interface. I simply have no idea what I got, information-wise, and where to seek for it. Unforgivable for the game that have so much books. And transparent walls where I can parts of monsters from the other side. And chests/cupboards visible with names turned on.

No comment.

5. Mismatch Russian language. Short bearded race named "redmans" (краснолюды) in some cases and "dwarfs" (гномы) in the others. Sound levels can varied right during the same dialogue. Ow!

With all my respect to very experienced
and deeply respected SS (more over he is
Russian, i am only Bulgarian)
i strongly disagree.
Sorry, this is my opinion.
The Russian lang is very nice and this is
one of reasons to like W1.

OK, someone may state: Wait, wait, yoga, he
knows more because it is his native lang. Moreover
maybe SS is lang teacher?

6. Overall grimdark setting. Initial Witcher series _is_ dark, but not to the level "everyone are filthy liers and traitors", as in this game. Slightly too far for me.

Agree with SS at 100%.

Padeji = Cases.

Small and unknown Iceland eliminated England!?!

Again: I can manage this. But it's annoying.

Well, it's not very nice (but rare game have outstanding sound - heck, most of _movies_ have average translations!). But my point was technical one: one term must have one meaning. For example, same race cannot have two different names. And when the same man in the same dialogue sounds _different_, it breaks my sense of disbelieve, sorry.

Well, Vikings did the same five hundreds years ago. Why do not repeat?

I know Yr problem, mate.

Yr problem is:

perfectionism

My polite advice:

Some time is nice to say:

- Take it easy -

and cont. forward jolly whistling/singing some song

for example

Molly Malone or like.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3xeTpgLP5o

Ставай страна огромная is also good.

Cold beer is good option.



As usually i am joking now but seriously

perfectionism is light form of disease.

But this is another story.

PC: I am great fan of Irish trad. music
and never listen to game fu-ked music
having about 10 k songs and million videos.
