The Witcher 2 may be more accessible, but it's also more expansive, deeper, and far more polished than its predecessor it remains firmly a (hardcore RPG), and for those brave enough to attempt the the more advanced difficulty levels, the challenge will still be enough to firmly terrify those of us who have no analytical capability to do the same the sequel remains a complex, sophisticated animal, and I've little doubt that most of us plebs won't scratch the surface of the depth it'll offer.
However, it's also looking to be a far better game as a whole it's slicker, prettier, and more accessible, even to those of us who weren't raised on RPGs so hardcore you didn't approach them without a hefty intellectual pick-axe to dig away at the layers of maddening mechanics and that means it may just succeed in bringing the hardcore RPG to the unwashed masses as well.
