I dunno, something about the Witcher series turns me off. I couldnt get into the first one, and I really did try. I think what really bothered me was that I was playing a "specific" character, with "specific" skills. It didnt feel like a real CRPG, more like a glorified action adventure game, sort of like Lara Croft only with less boobs....

For me on the other hand it was hard to understand this comment since it had a strong character, a skill tree and a ton of RPG elements.
Just because you can't make your own random looking dwarf with a funny hat doesn't make me think of a game with that gameplay as less of an RPG.
It actually strenghtened the game is it had a very unique lore, characters, a strong story and a very mature theme.

In fact I have problems getting into the usual D&D games because they feel all the same due to essentially the same magic, weapon, character and lore concept.
