Could have been the best RPG around, but...

...some problems with the inventory and upgrading of weapons are quite annoying. Anyway despite of that the witcher is a fantastic game in many ways. The Witcher's story is not the usual one. The world is dark and rain is often poring down. It's full of fear, disease, religious zealotry, and political manoeuvring. In short, it's tries to expose some of the issues that we deal with today, like racism and stigmatization.
Some criticise it for being sexist and no sense for gender issues and I could agree to some of that criticism but to not a degree that I downgrade it and I do think its important to look a at the whole story and its character before you judge it.
The game itself is highly addictive and very rewarding. With a bleak situation in a world filled with monsters, combat its not optional and levelling up give you new talents that make the combat look great. It works much better than I expected.
Finally I highly recommend this game for any adult RPG fan. Note that I wrote adult because of the bad language (used from time to time) and nudity together with sex scenes. It's not a good game it's a great game.
