It's got one thing really going for it and that's the story. There's some nice ideas about consequences along the way. There's not really any bad choices to make, but sometimes there aren't any good ones either.
But the gameplay is a hodgepodge of things that don't fit. It's a top down ARPG battered roughly into the shape of a third person brawler. I can see why it's getting a remake.
You think that, but you've fallen for their clever tricks.
Witcher 1 was a CRPG. It was just a heavily modified Neverwinter Nights, aka DND, complete with d20 combat and skill rolls. That's one of the reasons they reached out to Bioware for help making it :)
Sure, they slapped the sword switching and stance stuff on top but ultimately you might as well have been rolling dice to hit.
I said ARPG because apparently it was supposed to be a PC port of Dark Alliance. Is Dark Alliance a CRPG or an ARPG? I remember playing it on the PS2, but it's a long time ago now.
