Had this in my library for some time, don't know when I even bought it, fired it up yesterday.
Anyone played this, I'm about 5 or so hours in. Now Witcher (I) influence is all over this: art, world design, ambiance, UI, rpg systems, combat, npcs, dialogue, etc.
It's weaker on that front, but I really like what they did with rpg/levelling mechanics... this one has surprising skill variety: disarm traps, diplomacy, lockpick, lore, etc, and they all come up pretty frequently. Exp seems pretty tight, so seems you need to narrow your build. Not sure how much is required though.
Combat on the other hand feels like a (lot) clumsier version of Witcher II/Spiders games/Piranha Bytes.. has that common issue of clumsy movement and camera+ throwing mobs that easily stunlock.
Story is a bit weird though ( main character is kind of like a mix between Geralt/sarcastic Hawke): game straight away throws you into romance relationship with your..sister? And whole plot so far seems to revolve around it ( really didn't go well when you met her fiance, some knight ponce or something).There are hints you're not really relatives and some kind of magic connection between the two, but it's damn weird how fast,straightforward it is about it.
