My First PC RPG

Since this was my first RPG of this style that I've played on PC I was worried I wouldn't like it. But I was totally wrong! I'm having a great time with this game and I can't wait to 100% it.

Surprisingly good

It was hard to decide which The Witcher game to start playing. I saw that this game was very old, so I almost started straight away with Wild Hunt. But after reading some reviews, I decided to give it a chance. After I got used to the universe, the mechanics and got involved in the story, it was a very good experience that I don't regret one bit.

Amazing RPG

This RPG is truely a Masterpiece, while most modern RPGs even Bioware and Bethesda are made to fit the PG 13 Demographic, this is one made for adults. It was a mature, tasteful and generally great game. Theres Sex, Drugs, Racism but its not tacked on for shock value, its woven into the game to make the world feel world, because lets be honest, these things exist in the real world and such there are alot of tough decisions to make. I cant imagine why anyone wouldnt have played this yet, but its good enough this will be the third time I've purchased this game.

Good, but kinda clunky!

As a big fan of RPGs I bought The Witcher (together with The Witcher 2) expecting a game that would deliver a solid, long story in a new universe. I wasn't disappointed at all! I basically had two issues with the game, which I guess are more interesting to hear about than what I liked about it: 1: Being built on a modified engine by Bioware, the controls feel clunky at times. So basically the same stiff controls you usually find in games like Dragon Age and Neverwinter Nights are also present here, the difference being that you only control one character in this game, so you end up expecting tighter controls. They've done pretty well adapting the engine though, so it's not all bad news! 2: A lot of the sidequests are inspired by the good old MMO-style of gathering pieces of monster and delivering to a questgiver. This is obviously optional, but since you get XP from everything you might feel compelled to run around doing the quests even though you can't stand them. With that said there's a ton of value for money here if you can get past the clunkiness that we all know and love from Bioware RPGs, and MMO-style sidequests.
