Will you be able to play it in a "realistic" mode where everyone would speak their own language, be it Czech, German or Latin?

Pushing for "realism" in voice acting would be p. retarded tbh. The only realistic choice would be 14th/15th century Czech and there are two problems with it - Warhorse wouldn't be able to write in it and if they would nobody would understand it. They should do what CDPR did in W2/W3 - more or less modern but "literary" British and Kwan English with some quirks to spice it up, like Czech, German or Latin curses or some such.

Well, I wasn't aiming at 1000%_realism-wanking here either, I just think using different languages would be a good way to spice up the game, to make gamers sink into its atmosphere better. In the English version of The Witcher, as far as I'm aware, this was done by using different accents and random "foreign" words but I'm afraid this could end up sounding a bit retarded in a game set in a very specific time and place in Europe.

I'm glad the game has moved into story-centric direction. A pure sandbox without dugeons&dragons, magic and epic loot would quickly become pretty boring for anyone but the most extreme armchair LARPers, I'm afraid. This game must stand strongly on some good written story and characters to stay engaging.

Smejki, thanks for your responses:) I have to admit I've never backed a project on kickstarter, I ten to pay for a finished product, but I gladly welcome this new world where developers can engage with&listen to the community and their inner feeling instead of having their only bosses in form of big-ass corporate publishers molding games to fit their "analyses" and quarterly reports (M.Iwiński from CDPR had a good speech on it during Digital Dragons). I feel this model especially fits Central/Eastern Europe where the developers more often than elsewhere have the ambition not only to make any game that sells, but to pursue their own vision. I really hope this game beats the expectations, not only for the fun I could have, but for the impact on gaming as a whole.


What kind of fucked up sub-human language is that?

Seems like the snotty anglosaxons thought they can now claim this thread as their own due to the timezone advantage. To no avail, to no avail....

Seriously how do you pronounce that shit. There's no vowels.
It's a made up word composed from from all polish digraphs and everpresent w.
dz = j
rz = r + zh
sz = sh
cz = ch
Polish overuse all of this so zh, sh, ch, rz and their combinations is all I hear when Polish is spoken.

How to prnounce it? Well since some consonants can be a nucleus of a syllable in Slavic languages you can end up with a word like Czech "scvrnkls" which is totally valid word :D
it means "(you) flicked (something) off (a surface)"
or "čtvrthrst" (meaning "quarter-handful")


It's a bit hard for a foreigner to guess proper pronouciation but once you hear it you get it.

Polish has been also much germanised, but they had many clean up periods of their language. The last was after the WW2. But still many german words remained simply due to their usage.

Oh, I thought you were referring to this magnificent piece:

No I wasn't but I feel pretty much like the Nazis.
Now this has to be quoted out of context somewhere!

"Jak Rozpętałem II Wojnę Światową"
is a funny film, while the czechs made movies for children like "Pan Tau", the poles made the polish comedies. I recommend the film to you, if you want to watch something from the 1970s communist era. Basically this is a trilogy, but in my opinion the first one is the best.

Yeah, I'm afraid he's accidentally trolled himself as that is how Czech kind of looks like:P We, on the contrary, can into vowels, sometimes we must even alter Czech names (Plzeň->Pilzno) as otherwise our Potato mouths would be clueless how to pronounce it:P


"Jak Rozpętałem II Wojnę Światową" is a funny film

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz Franek Dolas is a Svejk wannabe, but I love the main theme for sentimental reasons:P Wasn't one of the soldiers in some Witcher game humming the tune or have I mixed up something?
BTW, out of curiosity, can we except any Polish inqusition filthy intruders and generally people of other colors and races ethnicities than Czech and German?
There will be other nationals beside Czechs and Germans that's all I can say.

Good job for being :incloosive: otherwise playing it would be way too triggering. TBH I intended it as a cheap&poor pun but then I looked at Dan Vavra Twitter and I see about a half of his time on tt is spent on fighting off the hordes of Social Justice Warriors bitching that there are no negroes in 15th century Bohemia...the world we're living in, idonteven....

Yeah it's incredible what they did with the Cryengine. Too bad the 0.4 is freezing up on me everytime within a few minutes. No idea what's up with that. Oh well, tech alpha...

For me it does not freeze, but it crashed few times when trying out time skip. But yeah, alpha. It is still very much work in progress.

wow it really looks like proper sword combat (two handed)..

I wonder if they will be doing more combat like sword and shield, maces, spears, and so on and how it will work when you will fight for example twohanded vs spear or mace.

Unless they have some procedural system they need to record those animations which scales back what they can do in game with different kinds of weapons.

I think they said no spears or similar weapons will be in the game.
