the witcher

Ok now that I’ve completed the game, I’m very much ashamed of my previous review done after the first 2 hours of gameplay. Fact is: this RPG rivals the awesomeness of Dragon Age. If not surpasses it. The control scheme that I found extremely annoying bugged early in the game, soon became one of its greatest features. That’s what I call a steep learning curve.

I’m even breaking my rule of not preordering: with
Witcher 2. DRM-free only on GOG, and the price difference of the US and EU versions are credited on my GOG account. Now that’s not a money-minting potato-campaign. Frankly, I dont’t see how this could go wrong:

  • it’s coming from Poland
  • it has no DRM
  • it’s not a lame, cash-cow console conversion like Dragon Age 2, Crysis 2, and Portal 2 boy were we lied to... And the game suffered.
  • affiliated with GOG
