mitrydates: As far as we discuss the RPG games it's not hard to prepare good battle system. Most of cRPG games do good in this matter. The problems usually start when we try to find a relatively good simulation of other skills, like social, technical or science skills.

So far there's only one game (actually two parts of it) I have in mind which adapted your character's abilities and traits. Fallout. You know what I'm talking about once you compare playing extreme idiot with very low Intelligence or a brain who knows everything. Skills mattered. Clicking the mouse was less important.

mitrydates: After Prologue, which frustrated me last night and forced to turn off the computer I still wonder whether The Witcher 2 is still an RPG or simple action game.

One - I have to use my own skills instead Geralt's abilities in fighting and sneaking. Two - QTE which I hate as these are simple clicking for idiots, not RPG fans, especially when the game shows you what part of the mouse you should tap (am I THAT stupid not to get it?). And three - you cannot save the game whenever you want to; that's a huge slap in the face for all the role-playing fans!

It's my first impression. But if I knew all that yesterday I wouldn't buy the game on GOG at least (retail version can be sold again, digital - not).

Sorry, but too many good words were told about the game which in my opinion doesn't deserve it. I admit it may change with the story progress but for now I'm quite disappointed.
