The Witcher 2 is not what we've come to expect from roleplaying games. This fantasy world is not filled with playful fairies and elves singing songs. While not the first game to be described as a mature RPG it is the first I feel that deserves it. While other, similar games are happy to show a bit of nudity and throw buckets of blood on the player, this one deals with sophisticated issues and ideas. It's a world of politics, racism, and terrorism, not unlike our own.
There's still plenty of blood and boobs though.
