So I started playing The Witcher this weekend and I think it's pretty fun. Very in-depth, which I enjoy, and really fighting is minimal and easy. Voice acting leaves quite a bit to be desired, but all in all this game works well for me.
I get to the first real town last night and I'm wandering around and I start off by checking out these abandoned huts. Looting as I go, of course, because what does any good RPGer do otherwise? Anyhoo, so a dead body doesn't need money or bread or potions. Snatch! Mine now!
But then it gets sticky because I come upon an area of inhabited homes. And apparently Geralt has no problem but to walk right in. Now Fable 3 handled this moment in game brilliantly. The residents would get upset, call you a trespasser, and even occasionally call the guard after you. Well, such is not the case in The Witcher.
These people just talk to you and watch as you take all the stuff right out of their cupboards.
Sure, come on in scary stranger, we don't care. We're all poor and downtrodden anyway, just take our last few pears.
The real kicker? There is an old beggar woman in several houses who you can "buy" information off of by gifting her food. She tells you, "I have no idea how we're going to eat" so I give her a bit of cheese so she'll tell me some lore. Then I turn right around and take the few pieces of meat she has hiding in her cupboard.
Next time I think I'll ransack her house while she watches, then give her the same food I just took for information.
Yeah, no glitches here....
