Played The Witcher four times September 7, 2008
I rarely replay games (I think Oblivion was the only other) but so enjoyed The Witcher that I've played it four times and plan on playing the enhanced version, too.
Really, my only complaints relate to inventory handling, which I hear is to be improved in the enhanced version. It is terribly hard to keep inventory organized and quickly becomes a mess. The capacity is also less than in many other games. I did appreciate the fact that quest items were in a separate slot, but I wish the game would allow you to drop duplicate quest items.
Again, I look forward to the enhanced version, and of course the sequel!
 combat kills this game August 31, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am interested in why most people are happy with this game. I can not stand the combat, it is for me a game killer. Combat is as follows: left click the mouse, wait 1.0 seconds, left click the mouse, wait 1.0 seconds left click the mouse, wait 1.0 seconds..left click the mouse, crap clicked too soon...left click mouse... oh lets cast a spell, right click the mouse..ect ect. It ruins whatever else maybe good about it. Its a RPG for Dummies, with half baked "moral" dilemas that everyone raves about, seen them, played them in much better packages, not exactly ground breaking. If you think Fable was a great game, this one will make you happy..If you prefer games like Planescape Torment, I would avoid it.
A very good game marred by minor bugs August 30, 2008
Although it's a very fun game, it's marred by many small bugs. The game just needed to be polished more before it was shipped. The thing that annoyed me the most is the sliding of the character (as though he's on skating on ice) as he walks/runs around. If you can get over this (and other more minor flaws) this is a great RPG. The plot is extremely interesting and the game never feels repetitive.
I highly recommended it.
 AWESOME! August 28, 2008
This game is great! I was a big fan of Gothic 2 and with Gothic 3 being such a disappointment; I was totally blown away with this game. Great graphics and a great story line providing everything from humor to "delicate" moments. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone that loves a complete rpg.
Best Single Player PC Game I've played August 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the best single player PC Game I've played. I'm now looking for more like it. Storyline is awesome, you can choose 3 different paths; Either with the non-humans, the humans or to be neutral. Lots of bloody swordplay, lots of side-quests, even some adult situations.
Only two slight downsides to this game. One, all the nudity is covered up in this version. Uncensored is only available outside of the US (unless you order it from someplace else online, but I love amazon's free shipping so I settled for censored version). And two, you can whip through this game pretty quickly. I did so the first time; then played it a second time using an online quest guide to help me get every side quest done that I might of missed the first time I played. But overall, I'd say it was a very awesome game.
