Well done, (but overrated) game.
Sadly I can't chime in with all these positive reviews as my impression of The Witcher has been a different one. It was praised by critics and fans alike, and a lot of my gaming friends recommended it. I got it off Steam during a sale and was eager on trying it out, only to realize that it couldn't hold my attention for more than 30 minutes at a time. The quests are boring and tedious for the most part, being about as creative as the average "Kill 30 X and bring me Y's head" MMO quest. And there are too many of them, without the interface helping you to organize everything properly. The "intuitive" combat system gets bland quickly, as does the constant moving around the world without getting too much done. The game's story is alright, as is the character interaction. There's a lot to explore without too much to do with everything, though. The interaction with women is a nice approach, but a bit too sexist for my taste. I took a break from the game after about 10 hours of playing and realized how little I had accomplished game-wise while absolutely not having enjoyed myself. I've always enjoyed RPGs, playing RL tabletop and classics like Planescape and Baldur's Gate 1/2 on the PC - and The Witcher certainly is not "arguably one of the best RPGs ever made". It's a decent game for those more into flashy graphics than a deep RPG experience.
