Still enjoyable, but not for everyone
I enjoyed this game very much. But I would only recommend it to players who mostly enjoy quests, atmosphere and dialog, not interesting combat or up-to-date visuals. Some tolerance for backtracking is needed. The BAD * visuals. The game is from 2007. Even though it aged more gracefully than it's direct competition (KotOR2, Oblivion, Jade Empire), it is fifteen y/o. Take it or leave it. * backtracking. The game doesn't have fast travel, and some quests require back and forth. UNDECIDED * the combat is RPG combat, not ARPG. It offers choices: apply oil/potion, choose steel or silver sword, choose strong or fast style. If you choose well, you win, that easy. It doesn't require reflexes or much player input like W2 or W3. Tolerable. * intimacy cards. (you can say no to the women tho) GOOD * Vizima and surroundings is a nice city. Probably top 3 still. Packed with content, lively, cool NPC schedules, atmospheric filters/color palettes. Still holds up today, and compared to the direct competions (ie. New Vegas or Denerim from 2010) it is on a different level. * the plot is very good, and well paced. I especially liked that the big reveal is not spelled out by an NPC, and that it is not save the world. * quest design is brilliant. This is true in general, but I would like to highlight that the Vizima confidential quest is probably the biggest quest in the trilogy, and is truly masterful. * I really liked the shades of grey NPCs in the game. I consider them even better than Witcher 3! Foltest, Jacques, Sigfried or Abigail are interesting and not cartoon villains. * the game rewards talking with NPCs. Old women add bestiary entries (so you can extract body parts from monsters), herb lore (so you can harvest). Bringing presents to NPCs or having a drink with them gets you other rewards. * the alchemy system used is my personal favorite from the trilogy. Potions last long, but your available inventory slots act as a nice cap for most of the game.
