How long to complete?

[12D3V4R]

Ive played for 26 hours and completed it. Thought it would be way bigger. The old was 5 chapters, so when i beat the third and it said epilogue, i got pretty dissappointed. Thought there would be anout 80 hours content. Did skip some of the sidequest, but thats mostly contracts to kill specifik creatures and read a book

Well, I completed it today and have spent 38 hours according to steam... But, because it crashed very often at the start, before I got the fix for the german version and for other time not playing... I would say it took about 35 hours.

I was surprised too, that Witcher 2 only had 3 chapters...

Replay and choose opposite side, ie; Iorveth or Roach

56h and still not finished first play...maybe because i used saved from 1.
Did all Sidequests and still at the Moment at Act 2 level 25.

Seems u missed alot of stuff..26 h shows for me like running through.

The 3 chapters are misleading.

In fact, the game has the following distinct chapters:
- Prologue
- Chapter 1
- Chapter 2, Roche path
- Chapter 2, Iorveth path
- Chapter 3 (some big changes depending on Roche/Iorveth but most is the same)
- Epilogue (admittedly, very short)

So, there are more than 3 chapter to experience, but it's not linear. The game's structure encourages replaying.

Not worth when i have to complete so much of the same again. I did some googling to tell the differences. It turns out i could have gotten much more laid by choosing Iorveth. I should never have trusted Roche

I used the save from 1st game aswell. Only difference i noticed (if i had to guess) Is that someone from the order of the flaming rose remembered me and tried to kill me. Dont know how much i can have missed. I looked the quest log of all the failed missions, it was mostly just monster contracts. There were a few inbetween for example the guy who shat himself. I didnt get to help him

Took me 39 hours to Finish W2 and 40 to finish W1. Kinda was in the same boat as you. Wait a few months and replay like I did.

Use a save from the end of chapter 1 if you have it (right before you choose between Roche and Iorveth). Chapter 2 is completely different based on that choice - you won't feel you're repeating anything.

Cool.
Have any of you played wild hunt, and can tell if decisions in 2 matter? Im thinking Letting the dragon live, Sile live, King henselt live, letho live?

Very few choices carry over to W3, and for very minor effect, e.g. if you let Letho live you can meet him in W3, have a side quest together and he might help you later at one point in the game - nothing major.

You can also start W3 and instead of importing a W2 save file, you can tell the game you want to simulate specific W2 choices. In this case, at one point in the game a character will ask you a few questions on your W2 events and actions and you can answer as you wish and this will act as if you've imported a W2 save game with those choices.

I dont feel very special for having completed those games tho then :( Glad i made him live, cus he wasnt really my enemy and he seemed like an interesting person. The dragon seemed like it was gonna die anyways, so i killed it. Also making sure i didnt have to fight that again, was terrible

Did you play only on Roche's path? Because if you've played Iorveth's path the decision about the dragon has a completely different meaning.

yea, i chose Roche. it cost me 3 chicks. Instead i only got Ves.
But that dragon meaning, is that in the wild hunt, or also in assassin of kings?

It's all in W2. Playing Iorveth's path complements the story - you've only seen one side of it. Play Iorveth's and let's see if you kill the dragon then :-)

Right now i cant really wait for wild hunt, but its still rather expensive, and 95% chance theyll just make an Enhanced Edition, like theyve done with all of them. Its like when i pay for a batman game, and then later comes the goty. I want the 'master edition' :(
