Welcome to a world that knows no mercy - none is received, and none is given. Only physical and mental agility can keep you alive, though they are by no means a guarantor of life. You play the role of Geralt - an already legendary monster-slayer, but this is not a gift and is certainly not given lightly. ?The Witcher? is an immense computer game. Within its realm, you will have to assume the burden of choice. And this burden of choice, as light as it may appear, is the very thing that will both permit you to wield influence over the fate of the world, as well as get you slain prematurely. Determine how Geralt's character develops and if he is to become a swordsman, an arcane battle mage, an alchemist in skirmishes, or any combination of the three 250 skills and abilities ?What you see is what you get? system - in choosing a character skill, you either have it or you don't Character development is linked with storyline progression. Geralt comes to remember his forgotten past, and therefore his supernatural skills and abilities Numerous real-time combat strikes, hits, thrusts, slashes, and cuts plus the appropriate use of magic, potions and styles of swordplay The control system is for both experienced users and beginners. Use a combination of the mouse and keyboard, or just the mouse

PROBABLY THE BEST RPG YET:
I bought this game about a year ago and have long since completed it. I attempted to Download and install the enhanced version, but it was a no go.

Simple- stylish and a must-have for PC gamers:
This is the best game of the year (2007-2008). See the other entries for specific game play details, but there is no other game that I have played for over 6 months than the Witcher. I'm on my 8th re-play and the story has been different every time. CDPROJECTRED has made many improvements to an already wonderful game. The only problem I found with the game was an unusual loss of time awareness, and that my job interferes with my game playing experience. The producers of the game really care about us, the... more info
The best RPG I played in years:
Others have already reviewed this game, so I won't repeat what they said. If you like complex and immersive single-player games, you will love it.
Do NOT purchase, this version is Heavily censored and no manual:
Do not purchase this game. I did and I am sorry. It has no printed manual, and it is heavily censored. The US Version and the UK version and the German version are all censored in various ways. I am very sad to see this develper decide that we are not mature enough to enjoy the full game story and I do not therefore recomend purchasing this, and I will be returning my game copy to the publisher for a refund or redress. I regret this posting, because I had high hopes for the improvements in load time and... more info
