In March, I've been playing The Witcher: Enhanced Edition exclusively. This was another classic that I skipped over but felt compelled to play. The original game debuted in 2007 and the Enhanced Edition followed a year later. For a game of its age, it holds up remarkably well. It uses a modified version of BioWare's Aurora Engine, which powered Neverwinter Nights. Cities feel alive with plenty of people and animals wandering around. The weather effects, sound, and music all help bring the world to life. The game mechanics are different enough from D&D and similar fantasy RPGs to keep it fresh and interesting. I am finishing up chapter 3 and I think there are two more. I will write more about The Witcher after I complete it.
