Witcher 1 and 2 80 % off on Steam

Damn thats a good deal!

 

However I already own both games!

 

But with The Witcher 2 I was getting a fair bit of lag even though my system is rather decent. 8GB Corsair Vegenance ram, 120GB SSD, FX-6300 and a XFX 7870.

 

I noticed I was still getting lag but either way great games!

Never played those, but I've had them on my radar for a while. The price is definitely right.

 

Gotta stop buying games for a year two now. I got so much on my plate and free time is so scarce, I wonder when I get to complete these new two games..

Worked perfectly for me on a 560 Ti supported by an i5-2500k and 16 gb Corsair XMS2.

I think the Witcher games benefit greatly from being based on a series of books. Eventhough the games differ from the books in some of the details, there's more depth to the characters and the world than what is typical in games. There's a sense that much more has happened to the characters than what is taking place in the games, that the characters bring their own personal histories to the world the games take place in. I think that's what makes them seem more authentic than a lot of games.

My brother recently asked me what cool games will be released in the next months and so I mentioned W3. Then I remembered that he didn't even play the first two parts, so I started talking up W1 to him. In the end, I got myself so excited again about W1, that I started replaying it! :-D Of course I explored what can be done as far as graphics are concerned. I am now playing with a highres texture pack, a high res models mod, a realistic blood mod, forced ambient occlusion through the nvidia driver and I used the little tool SweetFX to add some further postprocessing effects. Just some subtle vignetting, vibrance and sharpening.

I have taken some quick screenies for you guys. However, as I noticed, the postfx of sweetfx are not exported, which also brings the anti aliasing. But they still look pretty nice I think.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
