Highly Addictive, The best RPG I've played since Fable
First of all this game requires a moderately advanced computer system. You'll need a good VGA card and a lot of RAM. Sadly my system couldn't cope up with the high graphic requirement. But I must say the graphics were superb. The surroundings and people were convincingly realistic.
You play the witcher Geralt (A white haired fellow with really nasty scar on his face). Just like in Fable you have to complete certain quests. It's up to you whether you want to do them or not. Inside the game world you have much freedom to just wander around the cities and different areas. Since this is a somewhat adult game you get to fornicate with different women in different areas. There are a lot of things to keep you occupied. And there isn't a single boring moment in it.
Compared to other RPGs this game has a more in-depth storyline. It's really interesting how the story slowly unfolds. It is said that your actions in the game would largely affect the ending, but I have yet to experience this since I have only played it once. And the characters you meet are interesting and well built. Nearly everyone has a story behind them.
Gameplay was highly entertaining regardless of the somewhat slow start. Leveling up has never been this interesting. And rather than the conventional way of clicking combat, this game has added extra features to make it more realistic. You get to create Potions and Bombs and even experiment in making new formulas.
On the downside I personally felt the game was a bit too long. Since they created the game to have the replaying ability, I think this comes in the way of that. There was a point in the game where I just felt the need to finish the game as soon as possible. As much as I like to replay the game the longevity discourages me.
And also the fact that it takes a bit of time to load new areas and saved games is really irritating. And there are a few glitches in the game. It sometimes crashes.
But all in all it was a great gaming experience. And the ending of the game would really leave you thinking for a while.
