Well I never....I must say that I was pleasantly surprised when I started to see the Romance Cards popping up in The Witcher after each of Geralt's 'conquests'. What a dirty stop out! Don't forget, unlike with subsequent Witcher games, these are a new phenomenon in Witcher 1 and come with full force impact. As you are focusing on objectives and enemies in the dark set scenes these images can serve as a well deserved erotic break in contrast, an experience you can share with Geralt himself. I found it a great shame that on the PC you couldn't go back and look at these works of art in retrospect, as it was not set up for you to collect them. Geralt needs a 'little black book'!

It became routine to stick with these genres. That, and having a full time career, a long daily commute, and a family! However, one day I bit the bullet and plunged myself into the role-playing world. Witcher 3 was not long released at the time, and was taking the headlines by storm. Footage of the game was everywhere and looked amazing, and reviews were fantastic. The game was intriguing and this was my tantalising pull into the world of The Witcher. However, I wanted to enter this world in the correct way, and that was to start with The Witcher 1. This way I would know all the back story as I move through The Witcher 2 and 3. As a matter of fact I had a DVD copy of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition (Platinum Edition) for PC  lying around for a few years. So I finally popped open the Cellopha...
