DESCRIPTION
Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's short story collection is brought to digital life in The Witcher, a single-player action RPG starring a monster hunter named Geralt. Players control the silver-haired Geralt in a fantasy world where dwarves, elves, and humans live in bitter seclusion and monsters roam freely. To defeat these creatures, Geralt can perform a variety of sword-swinging attacks from one of three switchable stances: fast, heavy, and group. Geralt can also use magic by conjuring up one of five mystical "signs," allowing him to blind, paralyze, or even incinerate foes. A total of 250 skills are available, allowing players to create distinct character builds for specific combat styles.
Geralt can supplement his attacks by creating potions, oils, and bombs with varying effects. Acquired recipes are used to create most concoctions, but players can also experiment by mixing ingredients at the risk of poisoning Geralt. In a twist from typical games in the genre, combat employs a timing-based system, where attacks are initiated each time an onscreen icon appears. Another distinguishing characteristic is The Witcher's emphasis on decision-making throughout the story. Players consistently make choices with no clear right or wrong answer, and these decisions will ultimately have repercussions later in the game. Developed by Poland' s CD Projekt, The Witcher is powered by a modified version of BioWare's Aurora engine, previously used in Neverwinter Nights. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“ 1. Don’t play with English Voices. Only use Polish voices. It’s a Polish game, and that’s the way it was meant to play. The English voices are horrible.
2. The graphics feel a bit old, but they’re not too bad, and they do their job.
3. It’s a solid RPG. It feels a bit like Morrowind or Oblivion, but without the free roaming.
4. It presents you with a lot of moral choices, so you can guide the story whichever way you like. There is no right or wrong, so it makes you think before acting, and that is rare in a game.
5. The story itself is vaguely interesting, but nothing special – although I admit I’m not that far through yet.
6. It is based on a series of books by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. I had never heard of these books before the game.
7. The main character is sexy, specially with his Polish voice.
8. The weapon system is a bit confusing, and almost feels like I don’t need to pick up anything else, I can just improve my skills. Maybe I’m not understanding it properly, but then as I said, it’s a bit confusing.
9. Its not a game you can play while distracted. I like to watch a TV show while playing a game, but with The Witcher you just can’t do that. It demands your attention, which is a welcome change.
10. You get trading cards for having sex. What more could you want in an RPG?
