Just clocked it and it's awesome. I enjoyed it more than oblivion, which is saying someting because I sunk hours into that game. The one area where oblivion is better is the character customizeability, in this game you have to play as Geralt (so you can't change his looks) and in terms of skills you will need a basic proficiency in everything to survive (so you can't go pure mage/pure warrior). There are also essentially only 3 pieces of armour in the game- and one of them is only available endgame.

But...the storyline/mainquest is so much better, longer and more satisfying. Characters are more developed and have better stories. Combat is less retarded (no shitty fps style and there are gory finishing moves a la assasin's creed) and there are 3 different camera angles so you can play it the way you want. The enhanced edition fixes the bugs/load times/plot-holes as well, and if you have the original game you can download the enhanced editionifying patch for free.

If you haven't played it I would strongly recommend it.

True, I'm playing it since last week and the game is awesome. Definitely on the same shelf with BF1942, BF2, TES3 Morrowind & TES4 Oblivion. Tbh I didnt expected anyhing that good from a game based on a book/movie - usually they suck hard. But this one is kickass

I also heard the game focuses more on a adult audience, i was playing shadowrun with a guy from england and his brother was playing the witcher and all of a sudden a character in the witcher said 'Your mother sucks dwarf cock'.

As if you would want to play as any character other than Geralt. That guy is fucking awesome.


Oh and that's what a Witcher is, a mix of fighter, mage and rogue. Tbh I love the racist stuff in the novels. Pretty un-heard of in the fantasy genre beyond the whole tired zomgdwarvesandelveshateeachotherbutareneveroutwardlycruelorcometoblows.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

I'm a bit pissed off because I went and bought the plain Witcher when it came out.

Wow, thanks. I didn't even think of looking that up. I might just take the cellophane off the box now.

That's what I get for not reading the OP, I guess.
