Yep, that good. The DA series seems just so...insignificant atm. (I still adore it, mind you...but...) As far as unimportant me is concerned, TW2 not only won me over (I was skeptical at first) but completely captured my RPG soul like no other game before has. My Lady Hawke's story still touched me on a more personal level...but TW2's storytelling, the choices, the stunning level design and art, the RPG elements.......CDPR delivered and then some. Cannot wait for DLC, espansions and TW3. (Take your time though, CDPR, don't get lost in the shuffle now!)
I hear you

They took the time on the game and it shows. Just the environments alone, the TREES fit each locale. the trees! They didn't rush it ( or it certainly does not seem that way ) and it really really shows. Every detail seems intentional, not slapped on. Sure, I have moments of wincing ( some of the facial animation just SUCKS to be frank) but in general....
I will give an example. That stupid quest in the abandoned hospital with the wraiths and the two morons who ran it.... that hospital was CREEPY. It just was. The quest wasn't overdone. There was a limited amount of *frustratingly difficult* wraiths who you had to use planning and knowledge of your signs to beat. Then, you are left with a decision. I made the decision with no difficulty, despite the story behind it, because in this incarnation anyway, it was what Geralt simply *would* do. Such a simple, small quest. Not a huge location either but.... *grrrr*. It is just an amazing, amazing game. I had *hoped* I would love it, but I had no idea how much just playing the game would just *drop* me into another world. It is lush, it is detailed. Even when certain things fail me, it doesn't fail the game. They are details in a fantastic, quality game. Time is money as they say - and there was certainly a lot of time and energy spent in *details* in this game. It shows! I downloaded (but didn't install) the free DLC also... which is just another win for that company. I would have paid way more than the $45 I spent for the game too.
And I love a lot of things, but usually not enough to pay MORE than I already have.
Easy 9.5/10 for me. Darn facial animation and some voice acting reduces it minimally for me. I give them a slight pass for english not being the only language ( or even first one ) I give them those points back for making it so easy to switch language/subtitles language though.
