Wow! Just...Wow! This game has literally dropped my jaw on so many occasions it's not funny. To be honest, I had heard about the original Witcher but never got around to playing it until I viewed the footage on the Witcher 2 awhile back. So I loaded up the first one, played through and was blown away by that as well. It's your typical RPG but with so much more and an open world to explore much like Elder scrolls.

Just like the first game, the player takes control of Geralt of Rivia, one of the few remaining Witchers. Witchers are humans that have been genetically enhanced and trained to fight monsters from a young age. Basically, you can do the main story line or engage the many sidequests in each town. Here's some gameplay to show you.
