Yes this was a little bit silly, especially after very interesting ending of ACT III. BAH! You are in nowhere trying to understand what to do. Anyway this whole wedding thing was based on the tragedy "Balladyna" written by Juliusz Slowacki in 1834. This is one of the school lectures so almost every polish folk found it interesting and amusing. Anyway I think that Witcher 2 will be less "polish" as they want to sell more copies to the west players (which will be hard without releasing it on consoles).Fatal-X said:

The sequence within Act 4, while breaking the climactic flow a little, was very much reminiscent of the storytelling style brought out by the books. Sapkowski's(I think that's right) first book, The Last Wish, was written as a series of vignettes: short stories which progressed and hinted at a greater story.
Naturally, the purpose behind the stories is to establish Geralt as a character. He kills monsters; it's what he was built for. However, sometimes violence isn't the solution, or the "monster" that deserves death is hiding behind a corrupt throne.
Act 4, like each of the other ones, has a large number of side quests, small missions which highlight Geralt's humanity, in spite of the hideous mutations of his body.
Damn,ninja'ed! I wanted to ask him the same thing and I hope that the Escapist will force him to review it mwahahhah(evil laugh of doom).Riviellan said:
Good to go back and rewatch this classic after reading the Extra Punctuation today. I'd completely forgotten that mumorpuger was from this episode.
