Once I finally got to the combat it felt like the game really wanted to have a realistic combat system but it just doesn't feel fun, and selecting skills individually feels awful.

Witcher series is pretty cruddy gameplay wise imho. You play for the production values, art, and plot. They try a number of ways of mixing it up in the three games but never hit on a really good result. They are basically a slightly more adult equivalent of Bioware RPGs.

I definitely find the characters, voice acting and art style intriguing. The gameplay is giving me a headache though. I really know nothing about this series so, does it open up eventually and let you just explore or it fairly linear? What's the "coolest" thing you can do? Any kind of crafting, forging etc?
