This is third thread about The Witcher game, but since it's a great game, and those two threads before this one had fallen into obscurity, I decided to create a new one.
I've been playing The Witcher for two weeks with pauses now, and I think I'm coming to the end- I'm in burning Wyzima right now.
What can I say, the dialogues -both actors and lines- are great, as is combat, and it's a good thing to see that my choices actually make a difference as to which way the story goes, sometimes in surprising way- not to mention that the game doesn't railroad you and actually rewards creative thinking. References to the saga and novels are fun, but not knowing them doesn't limit the greatness factor of the game in any way. The fact that Geralt can't carry tons of weapons and armor around with him is also great. Negatives are, it works very slowly even on low details, but that's the fault of my old computer. The episode that annoyed me the most so far was The Kikimora lair uner Salamander's base. Cutting through hordes of small bugs and trying to drop the celling on brood mother while avoiding being eaten or crushed by tons of rock was horribly annoying. And why did they turn Kikimora from swamp-dwelling solitary beast into cross-breed between spider and ant eludes me.
Have anyone from here played it? If so, what are your impressions?
