So, I have a long time to kill tomorrow with my mother. My wife insists we go, my wife gets off work at 9 am and plans on sleeping after lunch till it is time to go back to work. That is six hours later.
Six hours.
With.
My.
Mother.
Any who, this is requiring me to bring my laptop for entertainment. That leads me to wanting something to play that I have not played before, and an RPG sounds like a hoot, well look at the Witcher, looks neat, a lot of people like it, based on some foreign literature. Blast, stores are closed. Ah wait, its on STEAM! Uh oh, sometimes the non Valve big titles act weird on STEAM. Hmmm...
So I put it to you, stalwart reader that has made it this far, is anyone a veteran Witcher player that got it off STEAM? Any good? Works right and proper?

It's also good to hand around and say "Hey I'm playing a game based on this."
EDIT: I bought the special edition, but I was reading the stories before the game was even announced, so the game was just plain icing.
Not only is it a great game, but there is the chance that your laptop will randomly blurt out some things about your mother and her relations with dwarves. And really, is that not what the holidays are all about?
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
If you really want an RPG to play for six hours, Sacred is only about 9.99 on Steam and is a lot of fun. Otherwise, nothing beats a good book. I recommend Alistair Reynold's Revelation Space series, Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora, some Gene Wolfe, perhaps some Terry Pratchett for giggles, or even Chine Mieville's Perdido Street Station.
If he wants to opt for Sacred, he could get it on Gog for the same price (and without DRM): http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/sacred_gold/
I'm really looking forward to the Witcher now, so many glowing recommendations.
I forgot how much I missed RPGs.
