    I think KoA was mentioned because of the class system (the skill-class trees).

    Probably the first one-liner to make me interested for a good while, apart from Dishonoured. Let's see how it turns out... I don't think the presence of Gop in itself will make it Witcher-like one way or the other. Can't be more boring than Amalur.

    I'm fine with action RPGs. I lost any hope about the gaming industry producing any other kind of RPG, anyway.
    On the other hand, they could at least learn to make action RPGs right, for fuck's sake.
    How is that related? Didn't he left the company way before the game shipped?

    I hope it's as hardcore a CRPG as Witcher 2 was.

    Just name dropping, he cited all the recent games easily recognizable by the casual gamers, it's the same as he would have said Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 and Final Fantasy XIII.

    People are surprised it's an action-RPG? If you don't see the word "kickstarter" next to the game title, it's a safe bet that it'll be an action game with stats.

    That varies from company to company, it's kinda a nebulous title. Sometimes the producer is just an overseer, other times he's the creative lead on a game.

    It reminds me of how my nephew described Skyrim to me, "It's like CoD but the maps are really big and there's magic and stuff...IT'S AWSOME"

    Again with the "2 factions to choose!!" thing? It was cool in Witcher, it was great in Witcher 2 due to exclusive faction content, but it's becoming stale.

    Why don't they pick something more ambiguous for once? You have several characters within different factions, some being leaders of sub-factions, now choose whom you want to help.

    "Multiple power-hungry dipshits within one faction trying to seize power from the legitimate ruler" would be much more interesting than "faction A vs faction B". Instead of binary choice you could have a lot more scheming and double-crossing, as well as being able to choose the least asshole-ish or most promising character to support instead of just two equally bad/good factions.
