The gameplay isn't bad, but it's not really great either. It's a suitable vehicle to carry you through the quests and plot which is fine because this is one of the few games you can unironically play just for the story.

When you get to the final boss you can just talk your way through instead of fighting, which rpg nerds have been clamoring for since Fallout 2.

You're right. It just doesn't add up.

it makes sense in new vegas since the combat may as well be turn based for how deep it gets but for other games?? "no i dont want a cool boss fight i just want to convince him hes wrong"

Actually he convinces you he's right. I chose to fight him but having the option not to made it more satisfying because dude was an rear end in a top hat and I was glad to turn down his truce offering.

the final boss is the dragon. the other dude after is just an optional thing and the choice is more story based. i chose not to fight him cuz dude is just trying to revive witchers

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AN OPEN PALM SLAM A CARTRIDGE IN THE SUPER FAMICOM. ITS E-ZEAO AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE THE MAIN CHARACTER, CORPORAL FALCOM.
I tried to have fun with it but everything moves so slowly and the game kept crashing that I just gave up on it

You may is well pretend you beat it since that's all that ever happens for the rest of the game.

I got to the part where some guys kept ambushing me when I went to get a silver sword and then I'd either die to them b/c the combat was surprisingly hard or I'd get past it and then the game would crash before it autosaved again and I eventually got tired of how loving ponderous everything is and went to play more bravely default

It's a bad game. It's your typical made for console PC port that has little to no redeeming features. The combat is tedious and the RPG systems are shallow and uninspired. And as for playing it for the story? Well, see my previous posts about playing video games for story purposes. It's for simpletons. Don't do it.

I don't like the writing or story or characters or anything. This is like the biggest draw in story driven rpgs for me, so, that alone pretty much disqualifies it, also the rest is nothing special, like the combat system is just some crappy arpg stuff, particularly in the start, and uhh, it also pisses me off with the looting where theres tons of crap strewn everywhere.

It has good puffy armor dress-up, and a funny dwarf who says 'Lesbomancy' in a randy way. Not much else.

I've posted why I hate this lovely game across numerous boards, including here and Badgame. Why don't one of the pea brained homos that enjoys this game say why they like it.

*in the most hosed up retard voice, basically Doofy combined with Lloyd Christmas plus Freakshow from Harold and Kumar* Urr, the Witcher 2 is great because the main character has a cool IT worker style pony tail and he has actual sex. None of this bioware poo poo where you only get to see the bra unless you use mods. You actaully get to see nipple in the Witcher. It's for adults. The combat is soooo good. Every single skill bar 2 or 3 is utterly useless, and there are dozens of them to choose from. It's called Choice. You get to choose a bunch of lovely skills and hope you chose a good one, or you can choose to read a forum or a wiki and find out what skills are good. Basically a proto Dark Souls, another great game.
