Just played a bit of the demo for The Witcher last night. Somehow the whole is greater than the sum of the parts and I really enjoyed it. Has anyone else picked this up? The only worry I have is combat, which seems needlessly vastly different than other RPG combat schemes (either that or I don't get out much). For example, I really couldn't get my character to attack much at all. Other than that I would not be hesitating to pick this up; it appears to be an instant PC RPG classic.

For the combat, it's mainly time based in the fact that if you are playing on easy, or normal, you have to watch your mouse icon very carefully. When you first click on an enemy, you will see Geralt either start to move towards them (if you're a bit further away) and then start attacking. DO NOT push the mouse button multiple times in a row right away. You have to watch for your mouse icon to become a flaming sword, or have a yellow glow around it before clicking again, and then you will attack again. Just keep doing this until you have to start a new chain.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
