The beginning of a great series and a landmark of a great game studio. This game is fun, although in many aspects you can see it lacks polish. For example, sometimes you just feel the transition between loading screens and gameplays abrupt. The cutscene can end suddenly. The control, especially during battles, is probably the most annoying. I ended up using mods to finish the game as I just want to enjoy the story and overall presentation of the game. With the way the control is, I probably would never be able to finish the game without modding. That being said, this is still a good game. Over the past two weeks I played everyday and just unwilling to stop playing every night. And at the moment I finished the game I couldn't help downloading The Witcher 2 immediately. Graphical-wise, you can see it is severely limited by the game engine, but the art design is simply amazing and more than enough to cover the engine insufficiency. The music is also great. It is far from perfect, but it is a must play for sure.
