Well I never....I must say that I was pleasantly surprised when I started to see the Romance Cards popping up in The Witcher after each of Geralt's 'conquests'. What a dirty stop out! Don't forget, unlike with subsequent Witcher games, these are a new phenomenon in Witcher 1 and come with full force impact. As you are focusing on objectives and enemies in the dark set scenes these images can serve as a well deserved erotic break in contrast, an experience you can share with Geralt himself. I found it a great shame that on the PC you couldn't go back and look at these works of art in retrospect, as it was not set up for you to collect them. Geralt needs a 'little black book'! I have to say that my favorite Romance Card is of.....Shani. What is yours?

Isn't it a pain when you want to pick up an item but you have no space in your inventory to store it? The natural thing to do would be to drop some items from your inventory to make space for new items. But the problem here is that it is nearly impossible to predict which items you will need and won't need on your future travels! Well I have a rule of thumb for when you are out and about in the field: Always discard all read scrolls and books from your inventory. Keeping these will not benefit you in any way. Once you have read them the necessary information will have been acquired and put into the relevant quests and objectives logs. Determine which scrolls and books you have read by hovering the cursor over the item and seeing 'Already Read' displayed. For the ones you haven't read, read them first and then discard them. You don't have to stand there for hours on end in the most inappropriate situations reading them, just a quick open and close will classif

I was a bit of a stranger to action role-playing games, not because I didn't like them, but because I was so pre-occupied with other genres such as first person shooters and racing games. It became routine to stick with these genres. That, and having a full time career, a long daily commute, and a family! However, one day I bit the bullet and plunged myself into the role-playing world. Witcher 3 was not long released at the time, and was taking the headlines by storm. Footage of the game was everywhere and looked amazing, and reviews were fantastic. The game was intriguing and this was my tantalising pull into the world of The Witcher. However, I wanted to enter this world in the correct way, and that was to start with The Witcher 1. This way I would know all the back story as I move through The Witcher 2 and 3. As a matter of fact I had a DVD copy of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (Platinum Edition) for PC  lying around for a few years. So I finally popped open the Cellopha

Doesn't it always make your gaming experience much better when there is current conversation and community spirit around the game that you are playing? A place where you can vent, show off your progress and gain hints and tips from other people. For the majority of gamers playing recently released or long term trending games, this is not an issue. But what about those playing older games that have had their heyday? For most of these games, the community has moved on. Yes, the content, comments and conversations remain online in the form of blogs, websites and social media posts but it is always preferable to have an active community that you can engage with. For the following reasons there are lots of latecomers to such games: Games are released at such a rate these days that not everyone gets a chance to play all those they want at the time of release. Those of us with families, full time jobs, commutes will have limited game playing time, meaning limited game cover
