Rafal Nowocien: The Witcher is an extended RPG game, in which completing tasks and winning battles with monsters play an important role, so it's not hard to guess that many experience points are gained during combat.
Rafal Nowocien:For the greater part of the game, the witcher travels alone, which is in part due to the conventions as described in Sapkowski's novels, and in part as a direct result of his profession – Geralt, after all, is a slayer of monsters, which often means that he faces great danger.
Depending on the situation and the opponents, clashes in "The Witcher" are a mix of stunning sword fights, casting of Signs, drinking of elixirs and fights with burning torches or fist fights.

 The Witcher Interview: Part 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
We ourselves would probable be the closest to calling The Witcher a ‘medieval’ version of Fallout, mainly due to two similarities — nonlinearity and mature world full of violence and eroticism.
After a few moments of astonishment, the witchers gain control over the situation and the slaughter of the bandits — completely unprepared to face so dangerous an enemy as the monster slayers - begins.
In The Witcher there is no ‘better’ solution — the consequence will be vital, consequence of the choices that become more and more dramatic and result in an arising difficulty of discarding the once-taken path.
