巫师加强版

The game has actually been waiting some 8 months for me to have a look at it. I made the purchase on the spurn of the moment, as it was on sale. I had heard a few times that the trilogy was made but apart from that I didn't look any info up in the net - being a die-hard Final Fantasy Fan is already demanding on free time reserves. Ultimately, it was my friend at work who got her Blood and Wine expansion for W3 for a birthday gift from her husband, who talked me into playing the original release. Our discussions prompted me to insttall the game and play. Being somewhat acquainted with the Witcher mythology I had a vague idea what to expect. Suffice to say that the prologue in Ker Mohren got me so involved that I would juggle save/load just to explore consequences of any action I took (most notably when given the option to fight the monster Frightener/Przeraza). Once past the prologue the story got me so involved that I immediately dropped two other games I'd been playing simultaneously at the time. There's everything an RPG freak would desire: a compelling story with numerous moral dilemmas (which made me sit looong hours), very good character development, combat and magic systems, spectacular alchemy system and the chance to be the badass Geralt I heard and read quite a lot about. The characters are palpable - they have motivation, ambitions, love/hate, sex and flirting. Btw. avoid pissing off red-head ladies in this game ;). It's much like in real life some 600 years ago. I don't mind some alterations in the story when compared to the books - that adds flavour to the game, especially the change made to Triss' story. It took me 1 month and 3 days to beat the game, while playing as though as possible without walkthroughs. Many quests are logically driven (like the autopsy) which is a delightfull change. I strongly recommend the Witcher EE to anyone who's into RPG. I always play the original language version. Playing the original Polish version was a delight.

GRAPHICS 8.5 SOUND 8.0 GAMEPLAY 7 STORY 9.0 The atmosphere, the graphic, the landscape art are amazing. The music and sounds fit the game. The fighting system is very hard. I liked the story too.

An absolute classic of action RPG games. Some of the best dialogues I've ever heard in a video games. Unique slavic atmosphere, that no other game have. The graphics still look pretty decent but you can install some HD mods if you like. Must have for everyone who likes great storytelling and interesting main character. btw - It is very sad how russians react to the CD Projekt RED financial support for Ukraine. People are dying there because of Putin and all that you can do is "review bombing"? That says a lot about russian society. Shame on you!

played it on steam for 165 hours now its GOG Time!

As a note just to get the game running I had to install Directx 9 which I found in a support article. Would be nice if this was included in the installation files. I never played any of The Witcher series so I wanted to dive in from the beginning and I got about 30 seconds into the game when the video quality would stutter or remain on a cut scene even though you could hear dialogue and fighting happening in the background. I finally gave up after some troubleshooting it's the shame as the beginning intro seemed very promosing. I wish GOG would at least make this playable as I paid for it!
