An interesting story with somewhat interesting characters and very good graphics for its time. Underwhelming gameplay with uninteresting loot and weapons combined with a lackluster magic system really hold this game back though. However, I have a lot of respect for the Developer CD Project RED for releasing the Enhanced Edition free to all purchasers of the original version. I recommend The Witcher to anyone who needs a good RPG to play from now until the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Or anyone even slightly interested in getting The Witcher 2).
