I don't get it

I know people enjoyed it but honestly as much as i try i get bored. Other rpgs like this i liked alot and i really wanted to get engrossed into the world but couldn't. Alot of rpg's ill overlook dull parts or levels (dragon age i'm looking at you ) if i'm engrossed in the story but the witcher i can't find anything to interest me. 1) The sex- i bring this up due to being told about the mature themes of the witcher such as having sex with anything that ,moves even one i did accidental due to the dialogue choice and words actually spoken were different things. Not a game changer for me but strange in a mature game. 2) Amnesia main character - great now 2 people know nothing about the game world or what's really at stake. 3) The potions etc are ok if you really like alchemy etc you'll like it. 4) The voice acting is not just bad but some sound bored which i find harder to forgive in games with bad acting but good gameplay. 5)The story and characters i just don't find are anything special which eliminated my interest and i kept coming back every month before giving up. Give it a go however i must be missing something that people get from this game that i don't.

Overrated

The Witcher came with a lot buzz around, and still looks like is held in high regard among fans of the new cRPGs. Sadly, probably only them will love the game, while others will be annoyed by many things. First of all, game crashes randomly. It's an Enhanced Edition, the game's version number is 1.4, and it still can freak out to Windows. This is plain bull**it. While the game looks like a milion bucks in gold, and has great, fitting soundtrack (and not bad "inspired by" album), the gameplay is built mostly around fetch quests. Bring 10 skulls of monsters of certain type. Bring me 5 flowers. I need 15 wolfskins etc. It's just stupid, and pretty much ruins the interesting mechanic of dialogue choices, which can affect the non-linear story, the main feat of the game. Combat mechanics is a whole different story. At first, I was disoriented - why my hero just stands like a doofus and doesn't fight? The trick is, the combat is very simplified - you just can point the cursor at the enemy, and just click whenever the cursor changes it's shape. Yes, really, that's all about it. Of course, there are different kind of swords and styles, but it doesn't add much of a strategy - if the enemy isn't hurt by your constany swinging, just press key and try again. Which brings us to the camera setting - forget about the good 'ol isometric perspective, if you don't want to go insane, choose the OTS/TPP camera and keyboard+mouse controls. Oh, and the voice actors. While the Polish ones are fairly good, I choosed from curiosity the English, and later German. They sound horrible and make all the characters dumb, so you may want to disable the voice-acting at all, stick to the subtitles and just admire the music. Overall, The Witcher is not a bad game - it does have an interesting plot, looks and sounds good, comes with an adventure editor and is fairly playable and entertaining - it's not just "one of the best cRPGs ever" - this is pure PR crap. An okay game, for okay price, nothing more, nothing less.

A game I wanted to love

I don't remember when I played it for the first time. Tried it in total of 5 times I think, but never finished it. Usually I ended up bored out of my mind inside Wizima, but that one time I got to that village based near the lake or something like that. I don't remember it anymore since it's rather forgettable. The combat can't decide if it wants to be action based or tactic based. It's tab targeted, unintuitive little creature dressed as action thingy. Visually the game is... servicable and kinda amazing when you consider it's the same engine that Neverwinter Nights used. Sadly it lacks any distinct visual design, and animations can be creepy as hell. Music is kinda meh, lacks any kick to wake you up, and makes the air go stale. The plot and importance of choices are good, the dialog is decent but the pasing ruins it all. It's just different shades of slow. Sometimes it puts you to sleep, other times pushes you right into coma and you wake up years later to write a review. ... Now where did I leave my teeth and cane?
