I don't know a whole lot about The Witcher, Other than everyone telling me its one of the best RPG's ever. It looks interesting from screenshots and videos and everything, but it just looks like another RPG with trolls and fairy tales. Even if it is darker, I feel like I've been playing alot of RPG's lately, and I don't to get burned out on them, since I haven't even finished Skyrim.

And I am In love with Skyrim, but all my friends keep telling me to get The Witcher. I just want your guys Opinions on the game. Is it worth 25 bucks? I could always buy it and hold off on it till a later day.

It's not one of the daily deals yet, so I'd wait and see if it shows up between now and the 27th. It's not a bad price now, but it has the potential to get further discounted. If it hasn't appeared by the end of the Autumn sale (by the 27th) I'd go for it.

The first or second one? Both are fairly good, but the first one might turn some people off because of the complexity and most of the pacing early on. I did like the first one but I absolutely adore the second one though. It's difficult, well made, well paced, has options for how you want to go through it while still setting you on a proper path, looks amazing, and has really interesting fiction as well as fun quests for the most part. I'd get it, but if you feel you could wait for a better deal feel free to do that as well. That way you still can have your Skyrim fix but will eventually get to play another really good and complex RPG.

Yeah, it's pretty good. One of the best RPG's I've played this year. It deserves every praise it gets. It's a lot more linear and cinematic than Skyrim but that's not a bad thing. I really recomend it.

If its the first Witcher, then I'd advise against it. I liked it initially, was a really interesting game, but eventually it just got bogged down in mediocrity, and some very 'screw you' plot conveniences that became really tedious as they extended the storyline in a really frustrating way. From what I've heard of the Witcher 2, its an amazing game, and hates new users with a passion, as you're thrown head first into the game without any tutorials. I wouldn't pay 25 quid for the first game, but the second is supposed to be much better.

Its the second Witcher. I dont really care much for the first from what I've seen.

You will have a rough time going from Skyrim to The Witcher, even though I love Witcher 1 I'd probably recommend against it. Unless it's like a buck or something (haven't checked the prices), in which case get that shit locked away ASAP

 Witcher 2, its an amazing game, and hates new users with a passion, as you're thrown head first into the game without any tutorials.

Buy it! Next question, please.

Don't know where you are from but the US Amazon site has Witcher 2 at $16.00 if you download

I recommend it highly, Witcher 1 too.

I have just finished the Witcher 1 today and started Witcher 2

Really liked the first one but the second already plays so much better. I highly recommend it! (even the first one since that is very often included in steam sales for around or less than 5 bucks).

Beautiful game with a major focus on choice and actual consequence! Also, plays fantastic with a 360 pad plugged in!

Is it worth quitting skyrim before you are done with it to play either Witcher? Short answer? No. The first witcher sucks, I don't care what anyone says about it, horrid combat system that plays like tic tac toe + average story + graphics that were good 5-6 years ago doesn't make a good game today. Witcher 2 is a fine game but mostly over rated. Give it time it will show for a better price if you are still interested buy it then.

Both are incredible games.

The Witcher is the greatest RPG I've ever played. A must to any RPG/PC fan IMO.

Fixed it for ya. The Witcher, like Skyrim, has one little problem. It's medieval fantasy. Nothing beats post-apocalypse!

I would say go for it if it comes up during a daily deal. I loved the first one. It is a little dated but once you get past the first few chapters and the game opens up you will not want to put it down. Hoping The Witcher 2 goes on a daily deal so I can pick it up and play it soon.

Yes it's easily worth the price of what it is now, if you can get it cheaper by waiting then by all means buy it then... but if you really like RPG games, this is one game you probably should play.  *edit* referring the the Witcher 2 that is.

Yeah, the Witcher one and two are some of the best RPG's ever made.

@endaround: That's a bananas price. But I want it on Steam...

DECISIONS!

Nope, can't see how that's a problem.

Post apocalyptic gets boring after one game, especially when that one game is Stalker, and nothing matches the world or atmosphere in that game. Medieval fantasy will never get boring. Well, kind of never.

For me it gets boring halfway through. Another forest, fort or cave is just as samey to me as post apocalypse. There hasn't been enough sci-fi RPGs, it's a vastly untapped market. You kinda got Mass Effect.... and a bunch of JRPGs? I want more variety and am tired of generic fantasy worlds and post-apocalyptic wastelands.

Elder Scrolls is an exception to me because it is pretty unique. Morrowind was like exploring an alien fantasy world in a sense.

With MikkaQ on this. I'm mostly not big on fantasy, but the Sci Fi universes are wide open. Post apocalypse, well, that theme could really use a long nap. Fallout 4 will hopefully be interesting...

Well its on sale now and its only a lousy 40%, il just wait for a GoG sale

Witcher one is only 4 euro tough, shame i already own it o GoG as i much prever the streamlined installation process of Steam

For £16 fuck yeah. I paid full price for it and I would happily pay full price again. Do it. ALL OF YOU.

Apparently the Witcher is pretty good. I've only played an hour or so and it seemed... alright from what I messed with. I've been meaning to play more, but more recent releases have been distracting me as of late.

It's an amazing game, so I'd say yes.

If you're in the US it's 16 dollars on Amazon.

@wolf_blitzer85: Really? Holy crap that's awesome! Maybe I'll actually pick it up and give it a try...

The Witcher 2 Yes, the Witcher 1, No.
