Hi Guys,

what do you think of this one

http://www.thewitcher.com/

It might appeal to people complaining about story as at least from the reviews etc that I have read it is quite focused on the story and decissions that you make in the game will have some real relevance.

helps that it looks really nice also

i was looking forward to it like a year ago cause they said it d be based on the books and that Sapkowski agreed on the story. but now i totaly forgot about it, it took them ages to make it

I've readed an interview with Sapkowski in one of the polish game magazine. He gave the game makers free hand, so there might be some misunderstandings between the game and his prose.

And yes - the decissions, that you make in game will be very important. Many further quests will be depend on this decissions.

It looks okay, if a bit flashy, I think they might be trying to hide the gameplay with all those pointless trailers and gameplay videos released, which is really stupid because quite honestly I think the simplicity of it so far is pretty good idea, considering Hellgate London is going to be pretty good if the Beta says anything.

Also tell these fags to stop making flash sites, I never look at the damn things, if there's one thing Bethesda did right it was simply using Flash to make the layout of their sites easier to navigate, not a *dirty word* movie.

LOL, I know what you mean, I have a very restrictive firewall / add blocker set up and every time I go to one of these stupid flash sites I have to unblock everything to get it to display at all, if I wan't to look at a video I just go to gamespot which I have already set up.

[_r.u.s.s.]

the worst thing about those flash-es is that they have set quality to high and there is like 4x antialiasing. so with vector graphics+antialiasing it works well only on seriously fast computers. if there was at least an option for low quality (can be selected by DEFAULT in ANY flash movie, they just disable the option)

but where are the fights

For example HERE
But it's early alpha, so there might be some changes in final version (interface for example...)

Gamestop (retail game store) was handing out free copies of a couple teaser chapters to the newest American version of one of the books - it wasn't a bad read. Fairly typical fantasy story, but pretty good writing.
The game looks interesting - I haven't made up my mind, but I'll keep an eye on it.
