I've beaten The Witcher 1 and The Witcher 2.

The point of the Witcher series is the literary installed base and the sardonic realism. It's a kind of Slavic, fantasy environment where you're the mutant hero but everything else in the environment is worse off than you are.

The games are utterly fantastic, and if you're having trouble finishing them, then I encourage you to grit your teeth and keep moving, because there is so much there in terms of solid choice and consequence RPG mechanics and solid storytelling that it is worth the "unpleasantness" of the world. In true point of fact, much of the real world is unpleasant, which is what the game's lore is meant to mirror - if it troubles you, focus on the storytelling and ancient Slavic storytelling/fairlytales. Both games were well worth the experience of the complete story arc and Slav lore, IMO. They have that Eastern European sense of authenticity that really appears to me- similar to the movie Stalker.

Wish the video game industry would get over the dumb Q&A stuff.

Hahahaha.
