Looking forward to this LP. Please go into detail about the combat system, because 90% of the complaints I've heard about the first two Witcher games consist of "the combat system is an almighty mess, but why would you ever do it this way," so I'm curious whether that's justified critique or not.

Tech tip: One cause for hiccups and slowdowns is the game constantly unpacking textures. If you unpack the texture files and stick the bigger / more frequent ones into the override folder, it'll run more smoothly.

That sounds like a fix on level with sorting out the poor load times in Mass Effect 2(essentially, load times in ME2 were effectively instantaneous. BUT each load screen had an animated sequence that had to play out before it could finish. So if you replaced all the load animations with 1-second black screens, almost all loading happened in a split-second).

Ahahah, the loving SEX CARDS. I really wonder what made anyone think that was a good idea.

At least it's a sort of believable ugliness and, yeah, not uncanny valley stuff.

Oh, Abigail! Her card, I remember, was really creepy too. Serious fan disservice.

Fan disservice is a great term and more games should have it.

I'm repeatedly impressed by how ugly all these NPC's are.

What happens if you choose to side with the psycho villagers instead? Just a brief scene of you stabbing Abigail in the brain?
