Finished it. I think I needed approx 30 to 40 hours and it was fun. So for me it was worth the money that I've spend on it. The ending wasn't as bad as I've imagined after all the chatting from other folks.

[spoiler]I liked that there is a pretty long dialog at the end, which can help to bring everything together.

What I don't like was the fight with a dragon-- Because you don't fight dragons, you run away. It felt a bit meh that Geralt now can kill a dragon, regardless of how hard it was. Dragons should remain unkilled, imo.[/spoiler]

Also it is true that chapter 3 is very short. But I'll have to say that I like it that way- The chapter has a very tense and "hurry up!"-feeling. So adding more fillerstuff in here would have just ended badly and annoying.

Can't say much about the choice & consequence now. The game definitive has a lot of it, but I am not sure how big the impact is. Guess I'll have to play the game again, at least once.

The game really was hard. The hardest game I've played since years. At the end of chapter 1 I've actually switched from "normal" to "easy" because I just couldn't stand all that reloading anymore. :>

Though, I think the game is much better on "normal," when you have to prepare better- oils and potions, etc. But this also requires a deeper need of research *and* luck. I've tried hard, but often I couldn't figure out what enemies I might face in the next step, so I couldn't really prepare for that... and then you simply fail, as the enemy is pwning you like the whimp you are. On easy-mode, you barely need anything of that- like in Witcher 1, a sword and lots of jumping and clicking is enough, which is a bit sad.

Graphics are nice. The area that was stressing my computer the most was the forest in Floatsam. Everything after this was running pretty good, with only some stuttering when the game was loading the next part of an area and textures. The gameworld has a really nice atmosphere and the sound / ambient music is really great too. It's just strange that you hear dogs and ducks and stuff here and there, but never see any (or maybe I am just blind... at least *I* never saw any).

Last but not least, the obvious: Generally I think Witcher 2 is a great game. Cinematic and story-driven, which also makes it look pretty linear in times, though. Don't expect the next super fancy big roleplaying game when playing Witcher 2, because it just isn't. Feels to me more like a better Mass Effect.... But here again, I don't see anything bad in it. It's just how it is.

Falsch.

Zudem war ich vom ersten Teil ein wenig enttäuscht und auch da schon von den Ladezeiten entnervt. Hab mich aber anlässlich des Buchkaufs dazu entschlossen, es nochmal zu versuchen.

EDIT: Diesmal aber gleich auf englisch. Die deutsche Synchro ist so beschissen, hoffe die englische ist besser....und dass ich trotzdem mit deutschen Subs spielen kann. Ansinsten muss ich mein Ohr doch weiter beleidigen lassen.
