I like it, but I keep having to do the opening, and giving up because of how often I've installed/uninstalled the game. 

Force yourself to do the opening, permanently keep a save from the playthrough and just use it to skip ahead next time!

Yeah I now have a dedicated gaming computer, so having it consistently installed is no longer a problem, I just gotta force myself past the initial raid on the fortress. But I dig the combat... but wasn't keen on the alchemy system. 

A slow start, but a great game none the less, cannot believe it is almost 4 years since I bought this game :o

I think its a very well made game. And taking into consideration that the dev team isn't amongst the biggest in the industry i think they did really well with what they had to put into this project. sure it might not be perfect, but it surely is a gem beneath its rugged exterior. Also i like how they put Biowares Aurora engine into some good use.

I think The Witcher is a pretty good game.

It's one of my favorite games of all time.

Playing through it for the first time. I played the prolouge and just got to the Reverend in chapter 1. I really like what the game is trying to do, with potions and quests etc, but it's just sort of clunky to play. The UI does not clearly indicate how to do stuff, and what would be right in each situation. If I get the hang of everything, I can see this being a great game, but right now, to me, it's not clicking, and I don't enjoy playing it. The story and atmosphere seem great though, and for some reason I really want to play the sequel, so I guess I'll have to play through this anyway.

don't mind the bugs much ?

i bought it round christmas time during the steam sale. played up to the bit where you fight the frightner with all your witcher buddies (probably about an hour in). I thought it looked shit, was pretty boring and couldnot figure out how the hell to beat that stupid praying mantis twat.
 
After watching the quicklook though, i thought i'd give it another go. I fucking love it now lol. I don't even know why people are haitng on the old vizima part too, i thought ** SPOILER** the choosing between the towns ppl and the witch was the only difficult decision i've made in a game. not like the stupid 'i;m gunna highlight this option in red, so you know it's bad' bioware shit (as much as i love mass effect) I'm near the end of chapter 3 now i think, and i've played it non stop for the last few days, put around 30 hours into it. It doesn't look the best, and the combat isn't great, but it's still an awesome game. would definately recommend

I never bother switching stances. I just Tawny Owl, Swallow, and have ploughed (no pun intented) all my points into Quick and Igni.
