Try buying the highest end weapons (the one for the spectre) and put incendiary ammo. Seriously, I'm now able to fire for 1 minute without an overheat.

I was expecting a bit more.
The witcher is a far better game, and still the best RPG to come out in years.
The good!
-The graphics are really sweet at times, though a bit unbalanced.
-The dialog scenes are well made, though the dialog itself is so so.
-The freedom of the galaxy map
- Interesting story, atleast in the begining.
- Somewhat good mix of choices avaible.
The bad!
-Way too short, and 99% of the sidemissions are dull/generic and boring.
-No special sidequest for each teammate.
-Most characters lack depth
-Driving around with the mako at some planets is pure frustration.
-The design of most aliens are ripped off or generic.
-Elevator loading scenes....
-Too similar to KOTOR
-Bugs
-Horrible console style item menu system

And that's about it. The rest of the team are only dialogues. Tali is somewhere in between, becuase you will get a mission that will give you an item Tali will be happy to get her hands on, but other than that, it has nothing to do with her.

Finished it last night, and even though I agree with some of the critiques mentioned here, the overall experience was so awesome, I can't say the downsides of this game (such as the generic side quests) bothered me in the slightest.
Question for Panzer86: I agree with you on The Witcher. Any idea when that new updated version the devvers were working on will be released?

This was disappointingly short.
I was expecting more planets with actual cities in them. But what do you get? Two. And one isn't even a working town.
So you get to do two major planets and bam. End game.

getting yet another annoying bug with my retail version....go into the airlock and the ship decontaminates you/your shore party......forever, if you let it...it doesnt load up to into the ship, cant exit it, hit esc/end game even if you reload the save before the planet you landed on then try it again...no joy....

Hey, can someone help me out? I am on a planet right now in the vehicle. On my map there are clues. When I drive to the clues/? on the map I am able to get up close to the items and get the double circle but I cannot select or interact with the items? Am I doing something wrong? I have tried every key. I killed this huge worm type creature but I cannot interact with anything on the ground.
TIA!

Hey Thanks a ton! I didn't see exit vehicle in the controls section of the options. That is what I was missing!

Yeah, they left it out for some odd reason. When I came to the refinery place I didn't know how to get out, so I had to look at some random forum to figure out the key (after driving around in circles for some time)  |

Are there any cheats? The problem is
 Spoiler: | I went into one of the planets to destroy geth, where you have to go into a compound after you clear out the area. Well the problem is with every crack i tried the mako respawns at the very beginning of the map after i load a save and everything also respawns and every crate gets resupplied. Now when i exit the compound, not only I am losing health because its hazardous, but every enemy respawned and no way im taking them down without the canon on Mako and then somehow run super fast to the mako that is damn far. So Im stuck now, pretty lame. Again it happened with every crack so far, have not tried newest vitality one, but i expect the same problem. |

My Good n Bad Review:
GOOD!:
-Another way to play an RPG
-Almost a Sex Scene (thou i had it with ashley,not with the asari)
-Weapons and Modificable weapons,also u can removed the mods u putted in
-Decision system
-Shooting throu your friends and not hurting 'em but killing enemies is good! 
BAD!!!:
-SHORT..
-Some side missions are a bit confusing..sometimes they dun tell ya where to go or see someone "exactly".
-Some achievements are not done (I've been with Warth and the robotic girl Tairi (i think) at all the game and they didnt gave me the "Spend most of the time with a Protean/Robotic ally" achievement)
-Lack of originality of enemies
-No Bosses (Just Saren)
-Overheating BUG...Sometimes they shoot ya a "magic" and ya weapon already overheats,or wheneveer you shoot after being surrounded by a red spark around ya body and whenever ya shoot OVERHEAT!...but the worst thing of the bug is "ALWAYS OVERHEATED",so u must change weapon or run,Save game and Load same game,then continue.
-Confusing talking options..."Yes/We'll do it/No"...why the same thing on another word?,is this a joke or wha?..u're goin' 2 end with the same shit.
-Planets are hard to explore with the vehicle,since you mostly climb n climb n climb and then "Back to normandy" then Return to planet,save n continue..Also "Dungeons" are all the same thing in 2 different models (Caves and a ship).Also the "Lost" ships in space has the same rooms.
-Not able to use the same character you've finished the game with to start the Hard/INSANE difficulty level,and no autobalance thing for it.
-Lots of weapons of the same name n different rank...only for money (isnt it obvious?),but just filling ya small "150" object stuff..Seriously,u tought u would have infinite inventory?,well,NO.
Score: 7.5
Could be a great game,it has the story,the "HALO" like interface,decisions,but it's not as good as i tought...
Better luck with Sonic RPG for DS,BioWare!

Um...I was able to do that. Right now I'm using my old character in his Colossus IX heavy armor and the all X spectre gear in a new game on Hardcore difficulty.
At character creation there were 3 options:
John Sheppard (the default soldier character, that was used in all the official movies)
Enter new ID (custom characters)
Select Existing ID (use an old character with all his gear and skills)
Although there is a thing about this system: they don't refund your character's skill points. It would have been helpful if they would reset the character's skills (and maybe the special class). It's a pain to max out Intimidation, since the leveling is painfully slow now and becasue of that I miss out on all of the earlier intimidation options (decided to go rouge now but this kinda breaks it for me).
EDIT: but all the teammates had their skills reset, so at least they can be used for experimenting.

I agree on most points. Especially the lenght of the game. I mean you visit 5 planets to complete the game (not counting the citadel) out of many. The other worlds are generic and bland. Driving the MAKO is almost as annoying as flying the thing from Crysis. The enemies are all the same (basically robots with the occasional alien thrown in). Also i think the way quests are handled is bad. Why can't it just point to where you're supposed to go? Also the side-quests are really bland. There is no added value in compleating them.
I don't agree on the Decision system. It's too simple. You have the generic three choices. What is the impact on story progression? Except for the ending, NONE. If you are good or bad, there is no difference. You choose what ending you want 5 min. before it happenes. The Witcher has spoiled me...
I must say i expected more from the game. The storytelling and acting is great but that's it. Everything else is average. Even the combat system isn't particulary great. I got bored with it in 1 hour. And again the main quest is short as hell. I usually don't do side missions since i'm not much of a RPG gamer. But it took me forever to get throu Oblivion or The Witcher (i'm not even going to mention BG2). ME just flew by. And not because i had so much fun, but cuz it's really damn short.

I was dissapointed with the whole game. KOTOR 1 & 2 were much much better.
1. Very short, only 5 or 6 missions the rest just planet fillers which feel like a MMORPG. I never thought they would dare to put something in to basicaly grind for experience and equipment. Sucks big time.
2. Overheating bug!
3. Weapons are crap. Just take the one with the most damage and that's it. I also didn't find any use for grenades, I maybe threw 5 or 6 of them in the whole game. Mods don't really change much.
4. Quests are boring and yield no real rewards.
5. No need for tactics since firepower is all that counts. Just go in with all guns blazing.
6. Can't skip the cutscenes. I was falling asleep with yet anoter Mako drop or undocking sequence.
7. Boring story. Very linear, standard good vs evil, no special enemies, no unexpected turnarounds.
8. You can't upgrade Mako or your ship.
Overall: 65 - 70%

Combat actually gets pretty decent if you play on Hardcore or Insanity. But sadly noone gonna replay it because of the linear/shallow story.
