And now for something totally irrelevant- The Witcher RPG

And now for something totally irrelevant- The Witcher RPG

The Witcher--- A Game for the Seriously Recluse

Yep, I have spent the whole summer engrossed in a game.
This is the first time that has happened for me.
The game is wonderful. The action is swift (tho, not on my machine)
There are plots and subplots--enough to keep anyone busy for 200+ hours.

The game has Sex, political intrigue, monsters, wacky religions, drugs, and plenty of mercantile
fun. The character earns money through fist fighting and poker, or through drinking contests.
It is expected that the main character will loot every house in order to finance his needs.
There are three options for the main quest, follow the left, the right , or remain neutral.
Each choice influences the remaining path of the game.

Does this not sound exactly like The rest of life?
Did I mention there is very little linear direction in the game. No one "tells" you what the next thing to do is. Just like life.

Oh, and the main character is such a good looking one.

game players may want to double check that their system can handle this game, as it takes huge amounts of power and a fairly new system to run the game. My recommendation:
8/10 for execution
9/10 for story development
6/10 for technical geek factor
10/10 for forum support

overall a solid 9/10 for being a great game. It has won over 90 awards in the gaming / geek community. Worth checkin it out!
Thanks Luke!
