Unreal Tournament came out in 2001, and it looked a lot better than NWN did in 2002.

Awesoeme graphics in Witcher has nothing to do with Aurora. Their graphics engine was done from scratch.

However, I do think that it was just a flame bait. No man can be this stupid. Period.
On the other hand, Volo may be a woman (I wonder what's her hair color, then) or a mischevious alien from outer space, so the chance is not zero.

Up to recently most folks thought Autumn 2005, but one of the guys working on the script gave an interview for the Polish biggest daily newspaper and said that "the game won't be ready for a year". This hasn't been confirmed and ppl on the official forum say that the guy is working outside of the studio and is not sufficiently informed about the state of the game.

On the other hand, for the last two months CD PROJEKT has been running those full-page ads in Polish game rags, exhorting ppl with any programming/scripting/gfx experience whatsoever (or hopes of gaining same) to come join the WITCHER team. "You and your younger sister can be a part of the Wtcher magic!" If this does not sound desperate, what does?

BTW - hi all!

Hi!

Yeah, I also wondered about that. Either they have lost half of their team or they're thinking about expanding.

Well that sounds crap. I hope there's a good explanation.

I, for one, raise a skeptical eyebrow that any of this matters. Idiot gamers may buy RPGs for the graphics, but gameplay is truly king. So what if Neverwinter Nights had bad or dated graphics? Good graphics wouldn't have made the game any better, and probably would have made it harder for modders to make the game worth anything.

So, I want to hear about gameplay, not see pretty screen shots or videos. Though hearing about gameplay is something promised but not always delivered.

Yeah, but Shiny GFX are important for E3 and E3 is important for finding a publisher.
