Some more thoughts on The Witcher. Currently, I have just arrived in Vizima, so if you know the game, please don't spoil me for what follows. (Though really, I suspect there isn't that much to spoil.)

First of all: This is a gorgeous world. My experience with gaming worlds is very limited so far, but I find this one beautifully done, down to the flocks of birds that shy away with realistic wing-sounds when you approach. Aesthetically speaking, The Witcher is far lovelier than Dragon Age, and on that level I find it a joy to play in. The world-building is also quite interesting so far, though I am reserving judgement because I haven't gotten a good overview yet.

The plot(s) are failing to grab me, however, which I attribute to the general sense of detachment I have from the game. And this, I lay squarely at the feet of the sole playable character, Geralt of Rivia.

Spoilers follow beneath the cut! )

So, have any of you played The Witcher? What did you think about it?
