You think that, but you've fallen for their clever tricks.

Witcher 1 was a CRPG. It was just a heavily modified Neverwinter Nights, aka DND, complete with d20 combat and skill rolls. That's one of the reasons they reached out to Bioware for help making it :)

Sure, they slapped the sword switching and stance stuff on top but ultimately you might as well have been rolling dice to hit.

I said ARPG because apparently it was supposed to be a PC port of Dark Alliance. Is Dark Alliance a CRPG or an ARPG? I remember playing it on the PS2, but it's a long time ago now.
