Combat is supposed to advance as you increase in level, so as not to overwhelm the player whilst providing a sense of progression. However, if you don't give players enough to do in the beginning they assume your combat system just suck and don't continue to play. The Witcher combat is serviceable by the end, but my god is it dull to start with. The story is actually pretty good but I would never, ever play it again even if you paid me.

JimmyRJump Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Banished. Wasn't even aware there were mods for that small but oh-so fun game. Looks like I'm going to get immersed again into the sounds of bleating sheep, trees come crusing down and the clink-cloink of metal hitting stone. Cheers :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Witcher 1, combat was great.In Witcher 2, contrary to what's said in the post, I found it unbearable. (I started that game three times and never got far.)In Witcher 3, it became good again.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(also, looking forward to life is feudal: Forest Village which is very similar!)@BarneyThere's not a lot of mods, so I downloaded 'em all. :DThis one (Banished Plus) has a farmers glitch, sadly, where, after a while, farmers for some reason can no longer access their fields and get stuck by the side, so that the fields aren't tended to and as a result of course you have no crops. You can assign those farmers to newly made fields, but the area of the old field cannot be used to add something else and the space is wasted...

Alrun Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Thank your for reminding me of Banished. I like this game, but I nearly forgot it. I'm amazed how many mods are created meanwhile. Now I have to play it again.And I'm one of the crazy people who prefer The Witcher 1 to the newer Witcher games. I even love the dated grafics, for me it's beautiful. Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
