Absolutely loving it.52 hours played and just started chapter 4.Done all side quests and jobs.Hope i manage to finish it by the 17th.
its a shame people didnt like the combat. For those that didnt what would they have preferred?
a) turnbased combat which would have slowed the entire game down and imo not suited
b) MMO/diablo style combat clicky spam
c) ?
I always thought the diverse combat with good timing rewarded, different fighting styles and two swords (humans/monsters) not even including the signs made the game stand out from the rest!
I bought the Witcher back in the xmas steam sales, and so far... I'm not sure if I'll want the second one?
So far I've gotten to chapter 1 (well, just started it really) and I'm finding the combat a little... clunky. I'll admit, I've started and stopped a few times due to being busy of late, but I'm not 'enjoying it'.
Did anyone else find this but they stuck with it and liked it? Or does the combat improve? I really do want to like it, as it's very much my thing in principal!![]()
Nobody has said that they got 'stuck'
They've just said that they found the start of the game tedious - which most people have agreed on. I certainly found the start really boring when I played it.
If people get bored in an rpg like the Witcher tbh hard to believe they would last 5 minutes in a more hardcore rpg![]()
I really dont like the Aurura (typo?) engine based RPGs.
I got through about half of the Witcher, but I simply hate the NWN style engine.

Keep on playing. The opening bit in the castle is dull, and then the story begins with Act 1 in that small countryside town, which is also very dull. From Act 2 onwards the game kicks off though. On my first run through the game, act 1 killed it for me and I quit only to return a few months later after bugfix patches were released. Act 2 and beyond see's the game really open up.I bought the Witcher back in the xmas steam sales, and so far... I'm not sure if I'll want the second one?

Witcher was a pretty simple game, with an engine I despise, and mechanics that lacked much in the way of depth, but wasn't as visceral and plain fun as Diablo.
