I'm still in the swamps, too much work left to do...

I found some strange ¿clay? ogres. I don't like being near them, seems as if they were going to move at any moment.

I had to search for a boy, and went to see some druids. The locals seem to be very superstitious and dislike any outsiders.

At night the swamps are a very dangerous place. I've had to fight packs of drowners, sometimes even 6 at once!

After helping the locals, I gained their approval.

then I found they follow a strange religion... worshipping some gods of whom they don't want to talk about.

I found an elf too at the druid encampment. He seems to hate human kind, but anyway I promised to deliver a letter from him in the city.

Once again, searching caves I found another magical sigil. I've got 4 of the possible 5 ones. Last one was a defensive sigil, using it I can drink potions without being harmed.

Also, I'm keeping a drawing of each girl I "conquest". this are the ones I've actually have:

The sorcerer

The witch

The prostitute

The driad

I am Geralt of Rivia. I'm a witcher, and this are my journeys hunting monsters in this cursed lands.

A witcher is trained since child in alchemy, but also in being able to drink potions that could kill instantly a normal humanoid. We also carry two swords, an iron one for killing human beings, and a silver one for monsters.

I've spent some time training and learning how to play dice at the city of Vizima, which is quarantined now because of a plague.

The locals are no longer a match for my skills, so I'm looking now for professional players, not only to become better but to earn some extra gold.

By sneaking on thug's houses and gaining the locals favor, I'm investigating info about some subjects.

The city is safe at day, but at night assassins and thieves try to kill anyone walking the streets. Some small demons have been seen in the outskirts too.

After helping a knight defeat a cockatrice, I've gained his respect and I'm now able to exit the city via the harbor.

I've been asked to gather some herbs in the swaps, in order to help fighting the plague. Also, seems to be full of enemies, so I'll have some fun while doing my tasks.

Thanks to a small tool (FRAPS) I can now take screenshots of every game (and curiously, even in BMP uncompressed format they are saved in few milliseconds, unlike WoW's screenshot feature), so I've decided to add The Witcher to the "gaming journals".

Finally, and after almost 33 hours of gameplay, I've finished my first run of Mass Effect.

At the end, I've done almost all sidequests (excepting two of collecting data), explored (I think) all the galaxies and planets (you can see a list of what I've explored here), and this were my stats:

Gel: 999 (max)

Money: nearly 1.5 million

Level: 47

Class: Soldier

Alignment: Paragon (Good)

Specialization: Shock Trooper

I acomplished the romance sub-plot (with the Asari girl) and completed tons of encycloapedia entries.

Now that a Hardcore difficult level, level cap of 60 (instead of 50) and more important, the option to start a new game with the inventory and experience of the previous game, I'll probably do a second run, this time being a renegade (Bad) character, and trying to get to level 60.

Overall, it is like playing "KOTOR 3" but without jedis. The engine has some flaws, some parts of the game seem a bit unpolished, but anyway it is one of the best 360 games in the market, has some cool replay value, the graphics are fantastic and it's an RPG :)

Time to go for The Witcher too at last!

P.S.: A guide I've found that contains all the missions and submissions can be found here at GameSpot. Is not complete but you can do every primary and secondary mission.
