    Nah, it actually does look a bit unusual and not a lot like we see in games today. A bit DarkSoul'y with that mask and relatively believable proportions.
    For a king of Wild Hunt though, there is surprisingly little of a "hunt" in him - no skulls or pelts or animal companions or any other ancient world attributes you'd find in characters of that style.

    That's funny because CDPR's Lich King looks suspiciously like Blizzard's Lich King:

    Anyway, this has to be the best character concept ever:

    Yeah? And the Wild Hunt dude is what? He looks lame as hell. Even the TW1 Peter Jackson-style spectre was better.

    Looks like it might be time to start some overclocking testing on my two GTX670's. Oh, yeah.

    Going out on a limb and guessing this will be 75% graphics and 25% gameplay.

    The King of the Wild Hunt looks better in the game engine than in that artwork. I still prefer the TW1 version a bit more. Anyways I really like the art direction, most locales and creatures/armor (except perhaps said King of the Wild Hunt) look very folklore-ish rather than the usual BEHOLD MY SHOULDERPADS look that plagues fantasy nowadays, or other bland, generic designs like the ones in Dragon Age.

    I enjoyed the second game, this one looks to be at least as good as that one, so I am hopeful. They may not be a "True RPG" holy grail but I really enjoy the Witcher games.

    Do you think my HD5850 will run it on max with 30+ fps or should I go buy a PS4?

    Either way, GOTY2014. Even Metro agrees.

    Shit, being able to climb is a major improvement in and of itself. Game of the Week, for sure.
