The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Played on Steam before. The lore is good, but the battle system and game pace is terrible.

The Story: I am not yet over with the story, but it's plots are very great as far as i was possible to advance in the story. The story is a mixture between a crimestory (and Gerald is the detective) and a "Save the world" Plot, at least in some ways. The characters are well made with own unique characteristict for every one of them. Please excuse that i don't want to go into the story itself, because i don't want give spoilers. The features: 1: Fightingsystem: It's interisting and other than in other RPG's ,but i have to say that the little amount of possibilities to fight makes this game very very repetitive in terms of fighting. But i've seen worse. 2: The World: The wither contains a world wich isn't open at all, but you have restricted areas to walk and interact in but these areas are realisticly limited and huge enough to feel like open world. Between 2 of theese restriced areas you have to load the next one, so it's more like a level system. But the developers have solved this very good due to finding good reasons why the player can't leave a city (spoiler: It'S because of the pestilencia that does you not allow to enter a certain area in the citiy of wysima at least form the beginning) You can meet enough people wich tell you cool stories or let you do sidequests. And now to the biggest issue i have with this game : The sexual content . Before you turn away : It's not a moralistic reason i hate this (at least i am nobody of theese people that judge over everything what contains nudity even heavier like they judge over murder. You will meet many people in the game wich are just there and do just have own dialogs because you can have sex with them WHY? It just destroyes the cool world when you can't even get around some of theese scenes and they are totaly not fitting the story and just unneccesary. It destroys the harmony in the game... It's deletable in data fortunatly. But i stil wonder what CD Projekt thought...

This enhanced edition can often be found at 50-85% off during sales. I paid £1.19 for it from GOG, thats less than a dollar! Just look at all the goodies you get. EVERYTHING game related, maps, soundtracks, interviews, calenders, stories, behind the scenes etc etc.. I mean...come on.

It's definitely a really underrated game that deserved more fame, the menu and interface are very easily operable, easy to understand, the dialogue is also well formed, information rich and neatly packed - easy to keep track and understand the knowledge and story of the game, it's impossible to be confused and not figure out what's going on. While some people dislike the battle system, I thoroughly enjoy it, simply timing your clicks to maximize your damage is a really chill experience, in the mean time I can enjoy the sword animations even while laying on the sofa, instead of being busy button mashing my keyboard and mouse and rolling around. The inventory is a classic RPG inventory and easy to sort through (unlike in The Witcher 2 where I have to read a full list of things every time I open it). The story is also amazing. Only people with good taste can appreciate this masterpiece, it really left me satisfied finishing the game and I couldn't hold back playing the other games too. The art has an amazing old style, I very much enjoy to look at it, the story is deep with moral dilemmas and you really feel immersed, you feel like you became part of that world, the story telling is really good, as well as some silly random events in the game to lighten up the mood. The voices of Siegfried and Zoltan are pure gold. I also very much enjoy the option to hold down the ALT key and see every object and NPC I can interact with as well as their name, it really makes it easy to orient. The option to drink alcohol and have outdrink contests is really fun. . The only negative thing about the game is accidentally locking yourself out of quests or romance cards, since the order of things you do is sometimes vague and it can make you replay a few hours because of that.

I wasn't able to play the first WITCHER game before since my first game on the series is WITCHER 2. This is a chance for me to complate the series and I'll also get THRONEBREAKER as well since GWENT is a very well made game. The latest WITCHER games are much better in graphics but the ENHANCED VERSION is a good game with some improved graphics compared to its version back then. I'm only annoyed on the AUTOSAVE feature but that's just me and it is not detrimental to the game itself.
