As the title states, I've just beaten "The Witcher: Enhanced Edition".

I think I could have done without the EE part of the game. The fighting became dull and boring after about halfway through the game. Especially at the end of the game when it didn't seem to matter how much I was pounded upon by the enemy, I hardly took any damage - this was on the hard setting, too.

The story was pretty good and told well, but the gameplay was too....not linear....repetitive (that's the word I was looking for). Click on bad guy, click when the sword flames, repeat, repeat, repeat....then if you're really board, toss out a spell.

For any mediocre to hardcore RPG fan, I'd suggest they play the game. The story keeps you wanting to see how thing progress and your choices throughout the game tell of how the story plays out. In retrospec, if you can endure playing through the game and spending another 20+ hours on it, you can get a different story built up by the time you make to the end.

I don't have that kind of patients. It was hard enough playing through and spending over 30 hours. I probably only completed 1/2 of the side quests and probably only about 2/3 - 3/4 of the main quests (not all main quests are required to move the story).

I can honestly say that I got my money's worth out of this game (only spent $15 on it) and it was nice to finally play an RPG that wasn't toned down for the children.

I haven't posted in a long while and figured I'd put something remotely useful in my blog - though I'm not sure how many folk will actually find this useful.

Oh well. On to the next game! - maybe I'll finish Drakensang (too bad the graphics glitch out on me - things artifact and the game locks up randomly. I could play for hours and nothing and then 2 minutes into the game sometimes the screen artifacts and things lock up. Only game that I own that gives me issues....though maybe it's because of SLI....) and if I don't play that game I might just finally actually look into playing Crysis or Far Cry 2. Too many games and not enough time to play them all.
