![]() ![]() I paid dearly for not paying attention to the tutorials as I ended up bungling the stealth. What surprised me in the prologue was the stealth section as you made your escape from the dungeons. It was fun to make use of Axii to pit enemies against each other, Igni to light 'em up, Quen to shield myself, Yrden for the traps and Aard to blast enemies away (very effective on Harpies I learnt later). There is some lack of proper feedback on a successful attack, but it becomes unnoticeable due to the fast paced nature of the fights. Combat still makes use of swords and signs and it seems every encounter requires a combination of both to get through. I saw Triss and Geralt and later King Foltest himself, who is preparing to assault the La Vallete's castle. You make your escape from the dungeon and set out to prove your innocence by giving chase to the killer, another Witcher. Now the prologue is quite extended and set dominantly during the the siege of La Vallete castle. Through a series of flashbacks, I learned of the assassination of King Foltest, for which Geralt has been blamed. Witcher 2 begins in the dungeon, where Geralt has been captured and being interrogated by Vernon Roche. Little did I realize at the time that this game would lay the proper foundation to Witcher 3 leading to a better understanding of the story and the lay of the world (which actually makes sense). CD Projekt Red are the masters of storytelling and exploring the world they had built was a whole lot of fun. Witcher 3 is an amazing game and after spending hours lost in the world of stories and books, I was glad to get an another extra dose of it. I refer to as Witcher 2 as a prequel because I, like many others, ventured into the Witcher world with the third game. I was able to pick up the Xbox 360 game on a deal and start my journey into this prequel story of Witcher 3. This again I will give credit to Microsoft for the backward compatibility of the Xbox. I had no plans to play the Witcher 2, but I am really glad I did. ![]()
