Hydr0gen_cz: Hey, ok, let's flame. The Witcher is certainly bold, beatiful, mature, fun (when no bugs are envolved) and by all means well written (in terms of dialogue) but story itself...eh?!:-O
It's messy, it often lacks direction, too many things sometimes happen at once, too many characters have too many motivations etc (what is Geralt's motivation to do various obligatory quests - think about it and you will see how little sense it actually makes) etc.
Sure man, I am also a fanboi of other things (original Baldur's Gate, SWKOTOR) so I understand, but still wanted to give you something to reflect on...
thats what I enjoyed. Lack of "direction" was what kept me in. It wasnt "here, this is archdemon, you have 40 hours to make army and kill him"
And by story I meant every single subplot, there are no side quests that are not interesting or boring (maybe aside from contract quests, but I usually did those "on way"). I enjoyed character developement of Iorweth or Letho (so much that I let Letho live in the end).
What was beautiful touch was that every tiny story got finished. Atleast in quest description. Like I didnt do a nekker quest and then there appeared something like "and now, Flotsams woods are known for huge amounts of Nekkers in area".
