Are you guys for real? What bugs? What patch? The release day patch only fixed minor bugs because there were not any major bugs to fix. The Witcher is the most bug-free and polished game released this year. Just compare it with NWN2, Bioshock, Mass Effect etc. Performance-wise it runs smooth as silk, even in low-end systems. There are only two major problems, loading times and crashing with certain configurations, both of which promised to be addressed in the next patch.
My thoughts exactly. The Witcher seems to be suffering from unfair criticisms like "lack of polish". Other than loading times (an engine problem, hard to blame on polish) the game is well polished considering how ambitious it is. I have had it crash on my once and I mostly love the interface, especially the journal system, which is arguably the best ever made. I have yet to encounter a single broken quest and I can't think of a bug that I have run into yet. It's as if people so automatically expect a niche-targeted hardcore PC RPG to be bug-ridden that they just label it that way.
