The Witcher
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 
The Witcher represents the newest form of storytelling, role-playing, and action all in on near perfect game. It has all the depth of a good fantasy book. All the realism and adult stituations of real life. RPG style character development and adjustments, with a new form of action style combat. That should keep the teens and well as the older adult fans happy.
The game is a built in a beautiful environment with rich graphics, textures, sounds it is truly a work of art.
The combat system is real time with pause option, easy enough to manage, but still allows for strategy and planning.
There is the brute force way to take out a named enemy, or more strategic ways to do it with some for-thought in mind. Yes this game does a fine job of balancing the fan base of Role-Playing enthusiasts as well as fast action junkies. Your choices truly make a difference in this game, with three different endings determined on how you handled prior choices in earlier missions, npc discussions and so forth. There are usually several ways to handle any quests, each way you handle a situation, answer a question, solve a problem leads you down a path different from the other.
The topics are adult in nature dealing with racism, dictatorship / freedom, costs of war, sexuality and other areas of real life. Your choices are not perfect, in that it is not about an easy good or bad choice / good or bad alignment, but rather about real choices that come with real consequences good and bad.
This game is addictive, and draws you into a world almost are real as are own. Once you complete this game,,, It will be hard to go back to an average DND style game and be happy every again.
This game sets a new standard for the game designer base and what us the players will expect in future RPG games.
* This game should be a real contender for RPG Game of the Year 2007.
Built on a 2007 edition of the Aurora Engine that powers Neverwinter Nights, The Witcher is a mutation of Neverwinter Nights and an action game like Diablo.
I think - any standard RPG / Fantasy Action gamer will enjoy this game.
If you are more of a RGP Neverwinter Nights kind of person,,, Then strap on the sword and be ready to love this game!
** Negatives: I think it should have an equipment bag to store additional weapons, different versions of the silver, meteorite swords and named weapons.
The Boss human npc’s that you fight, should have had named weapons that dropped.
Dual wield weapon fighting should have been available for use with medium and small weapons as a witcher style.
