Although I highly recommend playing the Witcher 2 at least

Here is a pretty awesome recap of both games:

Maybe I'll get The Witcher 2 and see if I like it.

EDIT: Not for $20 I won't.
I'm very sure Steam had it for like $3 on the weekend.

If you can wait a few days, it might be about that price again on the last day of the Humble Store sale:

Also I promise that one day I will finally complete the first Witcher game.

Is this series more like Skyrim or Dragon Age or some other game?
It has action focused combat that sits somewhere in between Souls (Movement, Timing and commitment to actions) and Fable (In cinematic presentation). The first Witcher was this weird timed combat thing that wasnt too great.

I'd say it's closer to Dragon Age structure wise. It has always been divided in story driven chapters that you progress through with nice developments towards a chapters closure.

But The Witcher games have its own standout strengths. It has some of the best implementations of meaningful choices that have a great sense of moral ambiguity. It likes to be a dick in that they have a knack of presenting choices that bite you back later. Story wise, it's probably the strongest RPG out there with interesting characters, elements of political fantasy and the second game has some of the most memorable moments put together in an RPG in my opinion. Its world building is fantastic in terms of lore, presentation and atmosphere. It's not as expansive as Elder Scrolls (A game where its lore is more interesting than what actually is shown in game lol), but the in game events and the little details just make the world so compelling and believable.
Well I'm sold. I'll get TW2 when its cheap.

Man, this game really is good. I'm so impressed. I love that it does what so few modern RPGs do; reward exploration with actual viable loot.

I still find the gathering and crafting to be cumbersome. Spend ages trying to find a cruiicial ingredient to fight the noonwraith and just gave up in the end.

It's not a big deal because it's all very optional stuff. Honestly in the 8 hours I've played today I've spent approximately 5 times longer than I did with the craft system in skyrim, which I hated.

I don't mind the system - it's just locating the bits that bugs me. Mind you I'm sure there will be options to make more money later so I can just buy the herbs and sstuff I need :)

Cancel all that. I assumed it was like the other games and you had tyo find ingredients to make the potion each time. This one seems to require them only the first time and then just uses alcohol when you rest to replenish stock. Weird.

The soundtrack in this game is fantastic. Just fell into my first Nekkar lair and the singing as the battle porogressed created such an atmosphere! Nice mix of styles and use of vocals rather than just the orchestral stuff (which is also awesome)

What's it displaying?

It changed to this the minute I was able to play it. Perhaps you need to close and reopen the client?

Speaking of glitches has anyone found any problems with the smaller tasks where a bandit leader (with a key for a cage) doesn't appear or residents don't move back even after all men are cleared?

Recently I had a pretty biug glitch in that I didn't get Pop's Mold Antidote. Bloody annoying as you can't complete the quest wiuthout it! Not sure what to do.

I have encountered one cage where I couldn't find any kind of key (and it's the first, and only one I've attempted so I was very confused). I also did a quest for a pass but didn't receive one so I had to do a second quest for it.
