This is Why The Witcher 2 Will Never Be As Good As Skyrim.

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"][QUOTE="Mario_Eater"]There wasn't any need to start over again. On my first play through (PC version) I got caught whilst trying to sneak behind loredo's house, but I could still beat the Kayran... lightleggy

Because Skyrim is well-known for having no bugs or glitches.

Let me start my saying i picked up the Witcher 2 for 360 and i absolutely love it, story, graphics, gameplay, combat, spells...everything.

However there is a flaw in the game, i was up to the part where, while in the village i must gather what i need for the Yrden trap to fight against the Kayran.

Well for those who know the game, i collected everything i needed except the iron frame for the trap, so i proceeded to sneak around the back of Loredo's house to the sealed off area where the iron frame is kept, i was able to get passed one guard but was seen by the other.

Then the game goes into a cut scene with Loredo, who infact asked me to kill the kayran so i thought i would either be given the iron frame i needed or be able to kill it without it, but no such luck with either thought, infact the indecent proposal quest was ended and i was not able to go back and get the iron frame from the chest.

By the time i realized i absolutely needed it to defeat the kayran and proceed with the game, i had already completed 3 more quests.

I only had 6 save files 3 auto saves and 3 of my own, and none of them went as far back as before the indecent proposal quest or before the cutscene with Loredo.

I'm now forced to start the game over after nearly 9 hours of gameplay put in thus far, or i will be stuck in this seaside village for good.

In Skyrim this doesn't happen, oh you can fail a quest but you will always be able to continue on in the game and finish countless other quests, and in my mind thats a true open world rpg.

Now fanboys will probably blame me and my lack of game saves, but c'mon i had 6 saves and it still left me no choice but to start the game over, ok i know the choices effect the way game plays out, but it's not supposed to hinder your progress, thats where they should've taken a lesson from Skyrim.

I could have as many saves as I wanted on PC so sucks to have it on 360 I guess.

What are you talking about? TW2 smashes Skyrim anyday.

[QUOTE="Slimmin360"] I haven't started over yet, if you know a way around this, then by all means please tell me and i'll do it, and then i'll retract and delete my whole statement in this thread.Slimmin360

You don't need the Kayran trap to beat the Kayran, it's just a extra advantage. You can beat it with Yrden sign, sword swings and lots of dodge rolling.

Well Skyrim is pretty hard to top. Can't fault Witcher 2 for that. I'm sure it's a fine game, even though I trolled on it a few times. All in good fun :)

This. Using the Kayran trap makes the fight easier but it's still possible to beat the Kayran without the trap. I've beaten the game 3 times and only used the trap on my 3rd playthrough. You don't need it. Just because you screwed up a quest and didn't bother trying to continue anyways doesn't make the game bad. It just makes you look like an idiot.

I am trying to figure out how one game is more "free" than another.. Skyrim you can most certainly move around in most directions.. But the quests the radical majority of the time have one solution to, and no meaningful decision making whether most of the time.. The only "open ended" rpg I have seen as of late with some real choice it felt like was Fallout New Vegas.. sSubZerOo

The average herperderper thinks freedom only means geographical exploration.
