It's very, very interesting storywise. They've managed to do the whole grey morality thing very well. The first one is a bit... aged, mechanicswise. But it's fun, it needs you to think for yourself and most of the choices are actually real choices with big consequences you can't always foresee. And as I said, it's very very grey. There's no obvious good or bad choice. Often it's picking between two bads and hoping it'll all go well. The world is very bleak, and the story and choices reflects that.
Witcher 2 does away with all the aged mechanics, but keeps the story aspects but does it bigger in every way possible. I can't think of any RPG where your choices matters more, or are where the decisions are harder to make. The combat is also kind of fun, challenging, tactical and fast paced. I'd say it's my favourite RPG from last year, ahead of Skyrim by quite a bit.
I'd wait with the 2nd one until they release the 360 version though - they'll be updating the PC version at the same time with lots of new content, quests, areas, more cutscenes, a new intro, a new outro... CD Project Red is actually kind of fantastic when it comes to supporting their games. And they do it free of charge, no bullshit DLC. If you own the game, you get the stuff.
