    Neverwinter Nights 2: If you're a fan of those types of games (Baldur's Gate, PS: Torment, etc) is this game worth a purchase? Should I grab The Witcher instead?

    Stalker: I'm only buying one of them right now, so is it Shadow of Chernobyl (1) or Clear Skies (2)?

    Both games for PC on semi-beefy laptop, thx
