I'm trying to go through this time being a dick to everyone, and I still find myself talking out of some fights. Its tough to be evil all the time.

A lot of it is ambiguous enough that you could probably rationalize the major decisions both ways for each outcome. Like the leader of the first village is a completely horrible person, but is also doing something really good through his greed and corruption by providing for a lot of other people. If you're evil you could let him live because he's also an asshole and profit off him, or kill him because it would be fun and hurt a lot of others. If you're good you could let him live because you don't want to kill people unless necessary and it would help a lot of other people, or you could kill him because he's a horrible person and the ones living off him should be able to eventually handle their own problems.

If you're going to RP it it's better to think about what personality traits Geralt would have and abide by those, instead of strictly good and evil like Bioware does.

Agreed, and I really enjoy that sort of moral ambiguity in this game, its very well done.

Finished crafting the Blasphemer's Set last night, holy shit its awesome. Getting all the ingredients wasn't as troublesome as I thought it may be, and once completed it makes Dark mode a breeze. Both swords deal good damage with a chance of instant kill, plus both give you health while hacking it off foes. The armor itself boosts resistances like crazy (85% fire, big portion for others) while boosting sign damage, Vitality and equip load. Made it possible to launch into the middle of a group of 7 guys and come out with full health a few seconds later. So cool! Iorveth's path starts tonight.

If you happen to have the GOG version of The Witcher 2, the art book has been updated with a higher quality version that also includes the new areas from the Enhanced Edition.

I'd call that a dead heat. You'll never see a day one DRM free Valve game, but you also won't see The Witcher on Mac and Linux. Both have free DLC, and both make awesome games. Hell, even GOG and Steam are the pinnacles of DD for different reasons.
