After starting the game five different times across two or three different systems over the last several years, I've finally gotten to chapter 1.
Thank you, thank you. Your applause is appreciated.
Additionally, I also got my first...uh...card, Triss. I take it that the cat resting on her crotch is supposed to be some sort of metaphor.
[In a real-world tangential note, the MTV VMA commercial featuring Miley Cyrus riding a huge white cat is also a metaphor, I suppose. (If I were less contemptuous of the human race, I might say that sometimes, a giant cat is just a giant cat.) However, the black cat in Triss' card represents witchy magic -- I think -- and Miley's cat merely points to the fact that she has a huge honkey (anatomical expletive deleted). Which reminds me of a joke:
Some random dude is boning Miley Cyrus. After a while, he falls in. As he's wandering around in the dark, completely lost, he runs into some guy. The guy says, "Hey bro...if you help me find my keys, we could drive the tour bus outta here."]
Well. Ever onward, Witcher-wise.
