The game is developed by a Polish company and it is one of the most realistic games set in the medieval world where the focus is on decisions and consequences rather than on good and evil.

The story setting of Witcher has been borrowed from The Last Wish, a Polish fantasy novel written by Andrzej Sapkowski, and for a change the adaptation of a book into a PC game has been pulled off successfully. You will end up being Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunting mercenary witcher and you will be in the postwar fantasy world called Temeria.

The Witcher has to deal with woman hating fanatics, merchants who deal in abducted children, bar girls who will go to bed with you for a bottle of wine, witches who sell poison and play with voodoo dolls, and racists who hate non-humans openly. Although the game has a lot of traditional monsters and demons, the biggest challenge that Geralt always faces is from humans.

In The Witcher there is a slim line between good and evil; and everything comes in shades of gray. The characters in the game seem like real people but the game has its bad moments with bad translation from Polish to English, and the amount of swearing and strange choice of words in dialogues. The fact that Geralt has to go to bed with every woman he meets in every act is ludicrous. Other than that this bleak game is fantastic and will keep you entertained for a long time.

The Witcher Cheat Codes

• Unlimited Talents -- When you gain a level, meditate and set your talent points as usual. After that revisit your talent screen, right click all the talents you have just learned and this will start a ringing sound by no change in the visuals. Now you can meditate again and have all the talents allover again.
• Faster Dice -- Hold down the right mouse button while playing dice and the game will be slightly faster and easier to play. You will not have to wait for the dice animation.
