I've bought these games but never got round to playing them properly.
Played about 3 hours into the first one, but it was running like a piece of shite on my PC so gave up. It seemed pretty decent though, combat and controls were a bit odd and hard to get used to but from everything I'd read you'd become used to it after a few more hours of gameplay. Besides, games like this I don't really play for the combat so much as the choices and story. Apparently these two things are supposed to be up there with the best. Comparatively speaking The Witcher franchise seems to be a lot more similar to a Bioware game like Dragon Age than to Skyrim or any of those other open-world RPGs.
From what I've seen it does seem to have some sexual content more comparable with Game of Thrones than anything else in the fantasy genre, but fuck, I like that. It's a proper adult RPG by the looks of things.
If you like games with consequential decisions (or seemingly consequential), then I urge you to just eat up everything Bioware has produced. Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and I really, really recommend Knights of the Old Republic if you've never played those games. Even with how old KotOR 1 and 2 are, they're still the best fucking games ever made in my opinion. I still go back and do entirely different playthroughs even all these years on.
