I gave The Witcher like 4-5 hours and I just can't like it. The controls and camera are insufferable and the combat feels really shallow, I finally finished off Dragon Age and was really looking for another RPG to dig into but this isn't it. The voice acting is pretty bad too and the conversations feel very grating because of it.
The story I'm guessing I didn't get to see much of, but it didn't grab me at all, probably because the characters showed absolutely no emotion whatsoever. "Leo's dead." "We should avenge him." "Yes." "Let's go kill those bandits. "That will avenge him." "Then we'll kill more bandits to get our stuff back." "Okay."
The only redeeming factor I can find is that I like the premise of playing a Witcher, it is cool, and that the opening cinematic is pretty sweet.
Just really disappointed, and puzzled at what actually got this game a good reputation.
The English localization was terrible, if you don't have the EE version, and bad to mediocre, if you do. I played it in Polish, with subtitles, and it was a much better experiance. Of course I was prepped for this by watching lots of Hong Kong action films.
