Best RPG in YEARS!

Finally, someone got and RPG right! Moral decisions, limited magic/gold, interlocking stories, interesting characters, great cut-scenes, great voice acting, interesting setting, and a very cool story. This game includes everything I wanted in an RPG that Two-Worlds and Oblivion did not include. It is fun from the beginning and I cannot wait until the expansion or second game comes out. CD Project should be held in high esteem in the gaming world for this excellent example of an RPG is and should be. If you don't own it buy it for real.

You do not have choice in class but keep in mind that this is adapted from a graphic novel out of Poland. If you do not like swords then you may be somewhat disappointed with the combat. But you can use alchemy and magic so you do have some wiggle room. It is open ended as far as which quests you can pursue and the like but the physical world is not open like Oblivion and Two Worlds. I think that this actually adds to the depth of the game since what area there is is filled with a lot of interaction.

Things that could be better or improved on in the future:

Load times.
Better inventory system.
Combat could be improved, but it does work good enough once you get use to it.

That's all.
