Good Story but weird compact system
It has a great story, If you play this game after playing witcher 2 or wither 3 you will disappoint with compact system. I recommend to skip this game and go directly to witcher 2 if you want the series. summery of the story is available online.

Not perfect, but good
Much better than I expected. I played on hard mode and won in 42 hours, 32 minutes. Good value, especially on sale. I finished probably 2/3 - 3/4 of the quests. The combat opens up considerably later in the game, although even then a smart use of alchemy makes even the toughest fights too easy. The hellhound fight at the beginning is probably the hardest in the game, especially if you think (like I did) that the death of an NPC in game will change the story outcome--don't worry, they come back if the get knocked out. The game's writing is irregular, but touches excellence several times, especially as you get closer to the end. The story suffers from the same problem that Baldur's Gate does--it expects you to complete certain quests in a certain order, and if you don't things don't always make sense. For example: there's a "twist" in chapter 3 that changes what you thought you learned at the beginning of that chapter. Somehow, I missed the twist. When the characters expound upon it later on, my Geralt spoke right along with them--even though, as far as my character was concerned, the twist had never happened. He should have been surprised/confused! Overall, definitely worth a playthrough, although I don't think I'll need to play again. I paid $0.03 per hour for this game, which puts it in one of the top value games in my opinion.

It's never too late
I must admit, when the game was released in 2007, I was far from being convinced by the demo : I found the skill tree a mess, the combat system counter intuitive... But it became the success we know, so maybe I missed something ? SPOILER : YES ! As I finished the game, it means that I finally overcome my problems with those mechanics ? Well you guessed correctly. In fact the combat system is pretty unusual as it's a mix of hack'n'slash (you can do combos in real time) and turn based (you can pause the game to prepare a spell, a potion...). Same thing with the skill tree as it acts like a substitute for the absence of classes. Using token in intelligence will make you closer to a mage, in physical attributes to a tank... So even with an imposed character, you are free to decide what to do with it. Not to mention the alchemy system which is quite complex to handle but adds more variety to your arsenal as you can do potions (to heal, buff...but beware of intoxication !), oils (to repel specific monsters) or even...bombs. About the story, the most surprising point is that maybe for the first time, there is REALLY no black and white situation. Though I love Knights Of The Old Republic (the 2 is maybe one of my favorite RPG) and Jade Empire, playing the dark side in those games is not really interesting because you have to act like a selfish arrogant spoiled brat dips*** Here it's more subtle, as even your "good" decisions can lead to bad consequences (not necessarily because of you, but also because people around you have their own agenda)... Nontheless, the game is not perfect : the contract quests become boring quickly (it's always killing X monsters...), the secondary quests mix with the primary, which can be confusing, the romance cards are useless, the game crashes sometimes and the french subtitles miss some points of dialogue. Otherwise, I would like to conclude my review by saying that The Witcher finally bewitched me but only an idiot would say that...
