I wonder how the 7970M will handle W3?
Ok so watching gameplay videos of Witcher 2 it didn't look like something I'd want to play... at all. But everyone getting all excited is making me wonder... what makes this series so good?
It's a Mature RPG. That's what makes it good. I played a little bit of Witcher 1 and while I started getting into it I couldn't stay interested in the combat. I'm hoping that Witcher 2's improvements will make it more playable for me. I'm debating on whether or not to finish a slog through witcher 1 just to get the story.
That's kind of vague... do you mean the story is good & mature? The gameplay is what looked lame to me... running around and stabbing guys in an open setting never was my thing. I like the FO3 style where its more timed than button mashing. That's the key... the Witcher 2 looks like a button masher.

What exactly is timed in FO3? How you click your mouse to shoot? There is no timing at all. In The Witcher 2, you actually have to have timing. If you go in button mashing, you will die in 100% of the fights.
What makes this series so good is the story, character development, and immersion. At times, it is linear, but that isn't a bad thing because of the story it is able to convey with said linear play.

It's a well written story driven adult themed (politics/ethics/violence/sex/profanity) RPG. The gameplay isn't mind blowing although 2 is a big improvement over 1.

Witcher 2 was nothing like a button masher. Fall Out 3 was an FPS with a thin veneer of stats, there's no timing at all in it. Put the cross hairs on the target, click left mouse. Repeat. Hit Tab for VATS occasionally. Repeat.
Heh, when I said "more timing" I didn't mean it was actually a good representation of timed, sorry. Just that it seemed like it took more thought to use the right weapon at the right time, and with SOME skill.
In FO3 / NV, I found myself switching weapons in the same battles (I.e changing weapons a few times as the fight changed situations), aiming to get the shot right for paralyzing the opponent, and VATS was part of timing.
The videos of Witcher 2 looks like you run up to an oppenent and just hit the same button to win. Maybe I just watched a bad video.
EDIT:
Also there weren't waves and waves of enemies generally in FO3 / NV. Only in "boss" type scenarios. In Witcher 2 it looked pretty standard. Fight a group, walk 15 feet, fight another group, etc.
EDIT EDIT:
Maybe someone can link a GOOD video I should be watching to get an idea? I'm not against picking up the game if I have the wrong impression.

The story is great but its not for everyone. It's all about politics, no good or evil just human struggle. At the very end of the game many players choose not to fight the "main boss" because they can understand why he did it. Again the main story is all politics so its not for everyone, probably the closest game in terms of story would be the 1993's awesome Betrayal at Krondor.
