Got the game thanks to recommendation from KidIcarus. It's tough to get used to even on normal - too chicken to play dark 1st playthrough Does anyone find the navigation and map system impossible?! Trying to find those blue dots which are relevant to quests are painstaking like dwarf bookseller for example. Even with install to console still see tons of loading screens. Great game otherwise.

Are you guys playing on dark? What's the best build to survive - magic?

Finished playthrough today, act 3 was really short. One tip for the 10k orens achievement (miser) either grind it in act2 or hoard lots of items in chest at inn as you can sell it later in act3. There's just no way to make money in act3 once you're there besides those few quests which don't pay much.

It was a good recommendation, thanks. Story was great but the annoyances made me not enjoy the story. It's quite clunky - a to climb/jump, potions & oils, inventory sorting etc. Difficulty curve was backwards (hard beginning, easy by midpoint). Not much replay value either so am done with it. My husband lost interest straight from tutorial, understand his frustrations with the game. It's not esy to pick up and go, will turn off most casual gamers.

If i didn't like Witcher 2 will i like Dark Souls? That's a must play game right
