Fuckin baddass.

Mortious had this to say about Tron:
If you get famous and these become movies, I want to be cast as a piece of driftwood.
I want to be a grizzled, yet insane old peasant who drinks kerosene and belches fire.
Typecasting FTW!
Rar.
Not a photoshop, those Poles just know how to celebrate a good game series.
Wondering how connected the first and second ones will be.

Mossud needs to come back as a big boss villan, and all the heros need to continue to constantly forget his name.

nem-x Model 2000 was programmed to say:
The inventory system sucks shit
There is a lot of running back and forth
So like the first game.
Nice break from the swathes of DVD cases on shelves and reminds me of the 90's.
Meeeeemories.
You have to read your journal/character bios constantly in order to really understand what is going on... I didn't and I don't know why I should care about certain characters or what happened.
Going to do another play through and read everything to make sense of it all. There are plenty of factions and people that are scheming against each other that come out of nowhere.
Supposedly the second chapter (there are only three) doesn't even take place in the same area depending on your choices.
Still leagues better than DA2
And when you get tired of having to manage the terrible inventory system
Items have no weight mod

nem-x had this to say about Duck Tales:
That quest worked fine for me, and its really just another sidequest. The quoted 90 minute game time is pushing it big time
"up to" 90 minutes of gameplay added
20 times.
In a row.
I suck. 
As far as combat goes, the easiest way to win any fight is to get the first talent in swordmaster, the ability to riposte attacks. Just hold block and then attack when you see a little white sword with a circle flash on the attacking enemy. You counter their attack then rip them in half, basically.
I, too, am waiting on the patch and the DLC to enjoy my second playthrough, going with the squirrels at the end of act 1. The game guide (In the steam version's digital deluxe) is nice if you want the full story of how not to fail certain quests.
And Mightion; The first act is worth all the running around, especially if you really stock up on alchemy supplies and use them liberally. And talk to some of the peasant women, you can plough one of them.
Picked up the mod to turn weight off, glad I denied myself the fun of micromanaging things.
Is there a primer somewhere to sum up the first game?

There's a quest in Act 2 where you find some necromantic scribbles. If you keep it for yourself, in Act 3 you get to do a full respec of all your talents, which is nice. Though, in act 3 I ran around like mad spending all my thousands of orens getting the most ridiculous weapons crafted up.. and then barely used them for the final bit.As far as combat goes, the easiest way to win any fight is to get the first talent in swordmaster, the ability to riposte attacks.

Yeah, apparently I missed one in the Outskirts. I know this game is rated M, but my reaction the first time I saw Morenn was "HOLY CRAP SHE'S STARK NAKED" followed by "Boy, they used a LOT of polys for her butt. A lot a lot," concluded with "I've got to hurry up and finish this so I can get 2."
I found the scene with Triss in Chapter 1 genuinely endearing and funny. Silly dwarves.
Well, let's just say after the ease I chopped up the final fights of Witcher 1, i was somewhat unprepared for the combat in Witcher 2. (I say "somewhat unprepared", as in the same fashion that Stalin was somewhat unprepared for Operation Barbarossa)
The key seems to be blocking, but dammit, the E key only works when it wants to, it seems. And what's with this "no drinking potions in combat" bullschitt?
I'm still in the Prologue - I took a break to clean the dust out of my PC - there wasn't much, but I was trying to get the temps down - I'm using a single GTX 570 SC, with vsync on (uber off); and MAN, my GPU was still hitting temps in the 80's (C). The game looks phenomenal, though.
But damn, that naked Triss in Gerald's tent. Just... damn. (Yes, I've seen the video for the elven bathhouse scene.)
