Playing "The Witcher" some more last night and I'm as far as Chapter Two (no quips about my gaming speed!) and I'm in this new area with all new people to talk to. So as befits my usual gaming style, I begin talking to every standby character I come across. The nice thing about this game is that sometimes it rewards you. One random guy said "Oh, I owe you money... here you go." Yay win for wasting time!
However, I move up to the private investigator's house and there is a "priest" standing next to the door. Who looks suspiciously familiar to a somewhat main character I just slayed in the previous chapter. So I think "Whaaaa?" and assume he's a demon. I walk up, ready to fight.
Turns out, he's just a random priest.
I continue investigating the area and see many more "randoms" made up with the exact same skin. Two dudes right next to each other even both say the exact same "random" phrase to me. This is getting annoying.
Suddenly, this game is losing interest. Fast.
I understand that a lot goes into making a game. More than I will ever rightly know. But if you're going to make your randoms look familiar. at least don't take a somewhat major plot character and reuse his skin for randoms further down the line.
Epic fail Witcher. Epic fail.
