The only thing I want out of the THQ pack that I don't already have is Chaos Rising...is it worth it to shell out the extra $20 for stuff I'll probably never play?

Nope.

Witcher for $6 and the whole Darwinia set for $5 is good though.

Awesome game if you enjoy deep European RPG's. Was a bit meh at release but the company has never stopped updating and improving it and it's fucking awesome now.

That's what I've been hearing. And for $6 I'm perfectly willing to try a subset of RPGs that I've been a little meh about in the past.

Sequel looks pretty good to.

Books been pretty good, they are slowly translating them. The first one over was a collection of short stories, but they have been bringing over the main novels line now...just slow as shit.

The Witcher is really fun, but the transition between the Prologue and the opening fight of Chapter 1 is jarring as hell and pretty badly done though. Am I missing a cut scene or something or does it really go from, "Geralt riding through to the South! *cut* OH SHIT FLAMING DOGS KILL KILL why am i in this town and where am i?"

The combat's been fun though. Nice change from spam clicking Action RPGs.

Objectively I can say it is a good game, but for some reason I cannot finish it. I've started it twice, and I always stop playing in the third chapter and I don't know why.


Edit: My typing sucks even more when I am drunk. Who would've thunk?

I think it's because there's so much to do, but not in a good kind of way. Having a billion sidequests is interesting at first but they end up muddling the main plot overtime because of the sometimes confusing writing and story delivery. Besides, they don't really offer any significant equipment/item reward to string you along like in, say, Baldur's Gate 2. I got to Chapter 5 and put it down to play Dragon Age, but now I have a hard time picking it back up.

I'm really noticing that about the side quests. It's kinda bad when I realize that sometimes I'm losing money doing them because of having to buy books to get monsters in the bestiary to then be able to do the notice board stuff.

I've also probably spent more time just jogging from place to place than actually doing anything too. This tends to get annoying.

The only saving grace is that, so far, they all tend to run in line with the main quest stuff. I just pick them up then don't really worry too much about them and they all tend to get solved at once.

w00t, now owned by amazon, is selling a new kindle (latest generation) at a decent discount.

The roomer mill seems to indicate that this will be obsolete soon, but has no concrete proof.
