All these complaints about bugs makes me feel as if I played a different game entirely. 3 hard crashes over 96 hours of play. No bugs or optimization problems to speak of. I have nothing bad to say about the PC port, and the most vocal complaints are all from the console ports. I'm really impressed that what was once an indie game/franchise has reached AAA status.

It proves it can be done at least. A small dev who had to license an old engine for the first title and now they're rolling in money for the third iteration.

While there is no question they've made high quality product, I think GOG has a lot to do with that - they said themselves a lot of money from there went into funding Witcher. Not sure they would be able to pull this off on their own without that.
