I can't defend the graphics, it is the Aurora engine after all.

However what made the game for me was indeed the combat system, the atmosphere, and the fact choices actually had ramifications many many hours down the road.

I agree.  I often praised The Witcher to my friends because of the combat and atmosphere.

Funny thing, my friend complained that The Witcher on his machine didn't seem to work.  Gerald seemed to ignore his commands to attack almost constantly.  Later, my friend found out you actually have to click on the enemy to get him to attack.  He was just clicking, not paying attention to where his pointer was. 

I would facepalm right now but that isn't even worth the effort of a facepalm....

To be fair I didn't realize how the combat system worked at first at all, but by the time I reached the bottom of the wall I had it under cocntrol just fine. They don't explai it too well, that's true.
