I've been playing computer games since the days of Hack (the one BEFORE Nethack), and my favorite games are RPG's. Somehow, the exact same gameplay appeals to me more if it's swords against ghouls than if it's blasters against aliens. Even though I love reading science fiction and have read tons of it, for some reason I don't especially like SF games; I much prefer a fantasy setting. I really enjoyed Might & Magic 6 and 7 and Baldur's Gate, and even though I usually prefer PC games, I really liked Dragon Quest VIII. My favorite game, though, is The Witcher. I'm a middle-aged woman, and a lot of games seem somewhat childish to me, whereas the Witcher has enough depth and ambiguity to appeal to a mature gamer. The attention to detail in the game is just staggering, and it was clearly a labor of love, done by those who adored the novels on which it was based. I've made my own adventure for The Witcher, called "Medical Problems," and have already begun working on Chapter Two.

Description

"Disease?" I hear you say. "But witchers don't GET sick!" Ah, but you see, in "Medical Problems 2: The Witcher Disease," a mage has used the stolen witchers' secrets to create a disease that's specifically targeted to witchers, one that will overcome that famous witcher's immunity. Who has done such a thing? And why? And most importantly, how can Geralt stop them? Play "Medical Problems 2: The Witcher Disease" and find out. If you played "Medical Problems," "Medical Problems 2" is the continuation -- and conclusion -- of that story. But if you didn't play "Medical Problems," it's okay; you can still play "Medical Problems 2." The new adventure opens with a recap of the story so far, so you can dive right in. Of course, if you want to play the first "Medical Problems" before you play MP2, don't let me stop you! But you don't have to. The game has several different possible endings, depending on which choices you make while playing.

This file is a self-extracting 7zip archive. That means that if you double-click on the file after you've downloaded it, it will unpack itself; you don't have to have 7zip on your computer to be able to unzip it. It's not an installer, though; you'll still need to put the adventure file where it goes. (If you need help installing adventure files, see the Installation Instructions.)

Ah, finally! Congratulations on releasing Medical Problems 2. A very good adventure. I had the pleasure of play-testing an early version and it was very good fun. I can imagine that it is even better now, after a couple of months of polishing and finishing all the little details. I was very impressed by the endings of your adventure. And by many other things as well. I'm glad you made it before the premiere of Witcher 2.

Thanks, hon! I squeezed in just under the wire, having gotten sick at exactly the wrong time. :-)
