I know I'm about 6.5 years lttp, but I just finished this game and am blown away. The art, the music, the story especially. It's a fantastic game that everyone interested in an adult-oriented fantasty game should play. I was gifted this game over a year ago by MickeyKnox here on GAF and I tried playing it for all of 30 mins. and hated it. The combat was really unappealing. I went back and read The Last Wish(the novel the character is based on) and decided I'd give it another shot. While the combat is not great, it really get's into a groove after an hour or so and isn't as bad as I initially thought. Though it's just like the Witcher 2 as far as difficulty scaling goes, it's damn near too easy during the last two chapters of the game. But all that aside, it's the story and the setting that brings this game to my "greatest games of all time" list. The story is just flat out awesome and the setting, holy shit is the setting awesome. Seeing the elves and dwarves live in the ghetto's and being treated like shit and constantly belittled threw me for a loop. They did it similarly in TW2 but I think it was done better in TW1. It's really hard to suggest this game to friends if they only spent 30 mins. on it and give up like I did, but man is it worth it if you stick it out.
I'm now gonna play through TW2 again in anticipation of TW3.
