Unspielbar. Stürzt ab, Musik lässt sich nicht regeln. Ist eigentlich ein tolles Spiel, habe ich früher besessen als Jugendliche. Diese Version ist leider nicht zu verwenden.
I may come over as a jerk. I like to enhance my education in terms of popculture every now and then, also with titles that aren't usually my focus interests. So, The Witcher is a series, that I will definitely play through, minimum base game, for that matter. I was also told to do so by friends. They thought, because I am huge fangirl of elder scrolls series, I must like it. But whatever the times were in 2007, the game didnt age well. I mean that strictly regarding the strong flirt simulator direction and the intercourses suggested. To me it is very immersion breaking. His flirt lines are also...ew awkward. It reminds me a bit of the Friends series. They aged terribly in terms of conversation and humor. So, there are a couple of things, which just wont suit my personal interests: * I play a cheesy guy with lousy flirtlines who likes to hold pathetic, moral speeches - personally I'd prefer any game in which I am "me" or to say it better: an avatar of me creating my story * I really dislike on the fact, that a lot of NPC are "same" models and generic names. Comparing it with Morrowind or Obvlivion and more free world RPG: those went the extra mile of creating unique character models and names, and even the random trashmob NPC spawns were RNG generated models, unique. The Witcher has been created in a time where this was possible already. * I dislike the fact, that my range of exploring the world is limited and everything is so linear .... * The combat system is clumpy, slow and unintuitive compared to games of that time, it's really hard for me to adapt, and the standard keyboard location of skills is really not intuitive. I hope it's going to get better....
Like others reporting, also for me the game crashes after chosing country and entering name, so basically when the map is supposed to get started. Sad, I had a demo version of the game as teenager and I liked it back then and wanted to try and play a full version :)
Since telling anything about would be a spoiler I keep it with this: I really enjoyed, I got through over 75% of the material and I am pretty sure I found the most important information leading through those 2 years. Successfully puzzling the story together, finding out specific events after journeys through information gave me a damn good feeling. The actors were really great, it helped digging in fast. Thanks for that game, I hope we will get to see more like this.
After trying my old original version with dosbox and finding my external disk drive beein broken I gave up and purchased this gold version. I am really tempted to play the deeper dungeons addon. Never did before. My old version must have been a pretty early version. The ai of opposing keepers often seemed to be broken. They didnt start, sometimes they did start but stopped in the middle of the level growing further, or they acted kind of stupid and slow. I am really glad having purchased this version. Somehow not only the ai of the enemy keepers works fine, it even seems beeing impressingly improved compared to the first/original version. Really really glad. I played the levels a thousand times, but those seemingly more aggressive enemy keepers gives the whole game this time a new aspect for me.
