Anyone played the Witcher games?
As you may have noticed, some of my toons names are inspired by the main character: Geralt of Rivia, the Withewolf.
Anyway those are amazing games both of them, played the first one about 5 or 6 times when it came out.
Also read all the books i could find translated into english, theres also a dodgy polish series about it,not very good,
Yeah this game comes from Jas country and its really worth to play it imo!

The games were amazing, so detailed and the worlds were beautiful. Geralth of Rivia is a very memorable character

Its a great game really, a bit underrated as well, most people talk about the big ones like elder scrolls and ignore this gem.

I've seen it being played, but I didn't really like it enough to play it. Seemed way too complicated for my liking and incredibly difficult combatwise as you need to meditate before every fight yet most of the fights are sprung on you without any time to prepare.
Looked good though and it's storyline was one of the most complex I've seen with choices that genuinely effect the story not just make it look slightly different like in some games.
I might play 3 though, It's open world intrigues me and I hope they've nerfed the meditation or at least let you do it in combat.

Meditation is not really mandatory, altough at harder levels you need to prepare for tougher fights and take speficic potions.
Combat system seems more complicated than it actually is, when you get used to it it actually has a lot od depth.
The second game initial release lacked a good tutorial, but they release a enhanced edition which is really much better.
