Why the witcher was a success

Voicysaurous said:
Mephisto, you will _LOVE_ this game! I bought it last Dec. and couldn't stop playing.

Some spoilers:
- you don't spend 2hrs before the game choosing your race/class/hairstyle/gender/noserings/beard/3rd nipple position/schlongsize/etc. you are one character only - Geralt of Rivia!
- you dont waste time getting better clothes and swords around every bend, your upgrades are few and far between.
- you choose your own combat style and depending on how you time your clicks, you can pull off combo moves or flop completely.
- you kill stuff ... lots of stuff.
- you can make the pompies with just about any female in the game that you can throw orens at!
- orens is the currency (you sickos)
- the game limits you to certain areas, so unlike oblivion, you don't start of and just run off into the sunset. as your story develops, so does your environment.
- you learn and mix your own potions
- potions rock!
- you can increase your cash(orens) by gambling in the game.
- you can increase your cash(orens) by winning bare-knuckle-fist-fights in the game.
- did I mention you have ridiculous amounts of sex?

now here's the best part:
- there's no good vs. evil. you go out and make choices, few of them are righteous vs greed etc, but each one sends you down a different path.

Finally ... you are a witcher ... a monster slayer!

PS: I have watched the 13 part miniseries (in polish) about the witcher (die wiedzmin) It's super low budget, but quite cool to put you into perspective!

PPS: Play the enhanced edition from the start, you won't appreciate it as much then - but it sorts out alot of bugs that the original has and you'll wish you started with the enhanced ed. rather.

You can upgrade your swords with meteorites if you want to but generally you will get better swords by completing certain quests.

You left 1 important thing you can do out. For every lady you sleep with 1 in the game you get a nice tarrot card.:) Its only nice if you have the uncensored european edition and not the american one. If you have the US one there's files you can download and replace to get it uncensored again.

Nah its optional but if you want to stay true to Geralt from the books you will do it. Seeing as you are immune from disease and infertile there's no risks.:D

Also for everyone who has the game already check out the official website. CDProjekt has been adding quite a few mods since the ee was launched.
