The Witcher is not without its flaws (and really, what game is perfect?), but it captures the spirit, if not the exact mechanics, of the olden fantasy cRPG days that seems to be missing everywhere except Eastern Europe these days. I have no other praise to give that others haven't already. Most of the complaints attributed to the Witcher stem either from a player's incompatibility with the genre (understandable, but really too bad for them), or the unpolished mess that it was at launch. The subsequent patches - the largest of which is Enhanced Edition - has largely fixed all of that. Some animations and voice acting could use work but it seems like such a minor thing to quibble about that I treat it as more of a quirk of the game. Thank you for making this game. Thank you so much. If Witcher 2 can avoid the problems this game had, then it will be just that much closer to perfection.
