It would be a bit much for Geralt to personally gutstab what is essentially the grim reaper.

Oddly enough the "oh no boobs!" box in the background of todays comic is my usual reaction.

Well the second game kinda retcons that a little.

I spent the last couple of hours downloading everything I need for the Enhanced Edition. (And when I say I, I mean my computer downloaded everything, while I did other stuff. Having a ton of RAM rocks.) It'll be available in about two days. The last update is ten gigs, it's insane. There's no way I'll be able to fit that onto my SSD.

Picked up the Xbox port today and have done a good 8 hours of gameplay. The story is pretty great, I really like the dialogue and the action...well, I'm still getting the hang of the combat system, I find it a tad annoying you can't hop from enemy to enemy very fluidly. If I'm attacking a guy and someone comes at my flank, I like to be able to easily swing my attack round to the side to block and parry. For all of Fable's childish failings, the combat always felt very fluid. I suppose they're just trying to work on something a bit more mature here.

Also dang this game is sexy.

Yeah, I guess that is a quirk left from mouse-driven aiming. You can usually fling your view around and make a mad dash to an enemy ten feet away. But that problem resolves itself once you get the ability to parry from all directions.

I finished Iorveth's path recently. The extra few quests in Loc Muinne are rather interesting, and I look forward to seeing what Roche's path offers. I have half a mind to do a playthrough killing as many important characters as I can. Demavend and Foltest are a given.
