considering most of us know the connection between gog and the witcher
and that on sales gog tends to throw both games around like candy with insane price cuts

i was wondering how many people on here actually own one or both of the witchers

i got the first one during a sale on steam

bought it again on gog during a sale

and finally caved in and bought 2 during my quite frankly obscene buying spree during the last sale ( 33 games ! )

...considering my backlog i have yet to play them though

I have both Witchers from here. I have completed the first one, but I found the combat in the second one so tedious that I have currently put it on hold.

I'm familiar with the first game, and I'd love to actually own it on GOG (the copy I played wasn't mine) but for several reasons I'm not able to buy games yet.
Still, I consider myself a fan. I liked the TV series for its cheese factor and the books are quite entertaining as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but AS considered the game's stories to be kinda canon, right?

He didn't.
Source.

Interesting, last thing I knew was that he was inclined to consider some aspects of the games' plots to be canon. So he probably voiced what George RR Martin probably feels as well, but is too polite to actually say :P

I own both, I played both for many times, more times 1 than 2, and I pre-order 3...the engine for me was the story and gameplay from 1...

Have both and preordered 3. I played through 1 while waiting for 2 to be released. Never finished 2, but now that 3 is around the corner I guess I have my motivation!

I own both but I didn't enjoy playing them. The first game there was way too much running back and forth which felt like padding the game, combat felt more like Quick time events which got boring quick and the story took some odd left turns in Chapter 4 which really broke the pacing of the game, had to force myself to play through the entire thing.

Witcher 2 the import feature is pointless as it ignores what you did in the previous game for a preset world and again the combat was just slow and boring so I ended up losing interest.

Plus I didn't like Geralt as a character so that also hurt my enjoyment.

I have The Witcher 1 and 2 from here and have pre-ordered The Witcher 3 CE from elsewhere

Got both games from here, am almost half through the first game. But completing it will have to wait till later, too much to do now.

I own both of the Witcher games, the hour and a half that I spent playing the first one ended my interest in the series though. Still, I imagine most of the members here own at least one of the Witcher games.

Own both, played one and a half chapters of the first, but find it kind of hard to stick with it. I guess mostly because of all the running to and fro, all the houses you can enter without anything of interest in them, all the loot containers without anything of interest in them (probably a leftover from NWN), and the combat system alternating between uninteresting (trash mobs) and frustrating (boss battles). I haven't given up hope though that it might get better later on or at least in Witcher 2, or in any case Witcher 3. Kind of weird, if I think about it, also because I read one book and didn't really like it all that much, but still want to believe the setting and characters are interesting, for whatever reason. ;)

Bought 1 at retail, then later here. Have 2 here.

Still only halfway through 1. Playing at the moment, so I can do 2 and then be ready for 3.

I have a hell of a backlog!

I have both on Steam and here, haven't finished either.
The first one because to be honest it isn't that fun and the second because I do feel like I should finish the first.

I have them both (and both free -- one as a reward for a GOG contest of asking questions to developers -- it was great to get the answer even without the win) and the first one for free from a promo.

I'm maybe 1/4 of the way through the first but took a good long break from it. I got totally lost and even with a walkthrough I couldn't figure out where to go next. It's on my list as my main RPG after I quit Baldur's Gate 2 for the 50th time. :)
