Trying hard to like this game but finding it very tatty with less than basic combat system at the moment, it certainly isn't no Balders gate, only hope it gets better.

So that's how it's gonna be? You're going to come back all the time and update us with what you didn't like next? Trust me, nobody cares. Write one coherent post why you didn't like it and be gone. Rolling Eyes

No seriously he's right. You did the same thing with world in conflict, we get the point you don't like the game and quite frankly no one gives a shit. Stop trolling make one post why you don't like it and shut the hell up

Okay then try to answer a question if possible instead of just flaming people.
The combat system right? As I see it you have to wait until your cursor turns to a sword, yes, then each time it turns to a flaming sword you fast click to get the next move in the combination, is this right?
Now when I try it this is what happens, nothing, I click on the my target with the sword icon and the white Wolf don't do shit, just sways about like he wants a piss, so I click like a maniac until finally he does, so what am I doing wrong. because it can't be the game that's perfect int it?

Wolves generaly need the weaker attack to hit, after that you can usually switch back up to the strong attack to nail em. But yes, you click once, he'll attack, when sword goes cursor lights up you click it again, etc.

Personally im not a huge fan of the combat system but it grew on me, I love everything else to the point where I don't even care anymore.

Depends on the situation as dodging, blocking and parrying are done automatically and he can't attack during those events so if you get attacked by a group of enemies it will be hard to pull of successful attacks unless you use the correct style and time your moves.

Strong style does the most damage but it's slow so faster enemies just dodge it, fast style does lower damage but it's much better at hitting such enemies albeit stronger and better armored enemies will just block such attacks - group style does the least damage unless you train in it but it works great against several opponents albeit it works better against weaker enemies in the beginning.

Attacks have to be timed as you say so either check the sword icon and click when it flashes or if you play on hard either watch for that orange glowing sword slash or click at the end of the combo if you know when it happens.

You can also double tap the movements keys to sidestep and roll away from enemies, helps when they group up against you. Smile

It takes a while to learn the system and there's alot more to it such as various potions, skills you can learn and special abilities such as stunning your opponen.

Actually the combat mechanics are more elaborate than that to say the least. First of all you have to choose the right style and then not only time your attacks but also sidestep/evade the attackers at your choosing. (BTW that's the way I beat the beast - by sidesteping every hit or two).

All in all, I wouldn't recommend clicking like a maniac in any occasion. Maybe you can't hit the target 'cause you are using the wrong style?

Edit: Crap! Didn't notice JBeckman's post. We pretty much say the same things. Smile

So what your saying is to get Wolf to attack I have a better chance if the style is set to fast?
I'm playing on normal so I get the flaming sword when the timings right, most of the time I can get him to follow though with the combinations, its just getting him to start his attack is the problem I am having. The potion bit of the game, no problem, they just make them selves. I'm looking at the skills upgrade, where does it tell you how many points you have to spend?

If you look up at the top you'll see bronze silver and gold medallions which go according to your character level. Bronze is like 1-15 I think. Anywho 3 bronze points lets you level up on 3 lower level skills etc.

I wonder why there is still no cracked version of this game. That's a little bit strage because it's a very popular game.

I think that you need to complete the game before cracking it just to find all of the triggers.

Getting 6 seconds load time from the main menu ??? You must be joking!

I just upgraded from x1900xt 512 to 8800gt 512 and the load times are A LOT FASTER, not to mention that 1280x1024 4xaa / 16xAF game plays GREAT.

However, 6 seconds load time from the main menu is hard to believe, unless you have raid with raptors.


8800gtx, quad @ 4GHz 2x150gb raptors in RAID0 on an Areca 1210 card and 4GB RAM all on a DFI P35 LP. and im not trying to e-penis(my real penis does the job Laughing ) so stfu anyone who says so just explaining how the load times are real quick here.

Well that explains it....I've got decent sata2 hdds but I don't have enough to blow on raptors in raid. Anyways most ppl dont, and if you look at my sig you can see I don't need to upgrade, crysis runs quite the charm on my system. Anyways the "quick"saving alone takes 6 seconds. Add that to the fact of 10 seconds to go in and out of every building and it adds up.

I just am hoping they rectify it in a patch. Which I don't see Not happening since I already read a few reviews dinging the game for excessive load times. But who knows tho since f'ing Atari is the publisher..

Actually I've got to hand it to the devs for actually getting the extra time to make this game pretty well polished(besides the issue mentioned above, obviously) and quite excellent while working with such a bastard publishing company.


Core i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz | 6GB OCZ DDR3 8-8-8-24 @ 1600mhz | eVga x58 Mobo | 2 x eVga GTX 460 SLI | Intel X25-M + 3x Seagate + WD Black = 2.75TB | X-Fi Titanium | PCP&C Silencer 750 | G15 KB | G5 Mouse | G35 Headset | Z-5500 Digital | Samsung T260HD

if I recall correctly, gothic 3 also had pretty long load times, which were shortened considerably later on by a patch.

I got used to the witcher's loading times by now and they don't bother me anymore. the game is good enough to make me look past that.

Still having problems with the combat, nobody else find the left mouse button major sluggish in combat? I have to hold it down to get him to attack and getting the combinations is a nightmare, it's like the mouse only gets read every hour or so. I can't be the only one.
Other than that, yes, I am slowly getting into the game and story.

Autopsy.
(This might depend on several factors, this quest chain is very complex.)

I don't really remember everything I did but the above should help.
(There's a few different ways to do this quest, I did most of them but not all are required to progress.)

Oh now I get it, I should have read these post slower, I'm not attacking when clicking on the enemy because he is attacking me (getting one in first), so by strafing the target I can now get my hits in, tut, so simple I missed it.
