For Christ sake Gop, practice a little before you give interviews.

Can't they get someone who speaks English properly to do the announcements? The awkward sentences their PR department puts together doesn't make them seem all that professional.

The big question is what king i have to protect? a new one created by the game team or any of the kings of the books.

Any idea?.

Yes, you could seen that king in the Witcher outro. You know that part when he fought that masked assassin.

Yeah, but from W2 trailers we know that the game starts with one of the kings dead by the hand of some though looking bastard.

I guess someone-- who will be the end-boss or the penultimate boss-- is hiring a bunch of different assassins, hence AssasinS of Kings.

The assassin in the outro rendered video from W1 obviously is not the big beefy killer dude from the W2 videos.

So perhaps the bad-guy archer is the middle-man out hiring assassins for the big-bad guy? Or for the Under-Boss who answers to the Crazed Cult leader/Ancient Evil boss who wants to be King of everything, maybe?

Also, these W2 cutscenes look a tad bit more JRPG than they did before. Feels kinda homogay and consolified, but I can deal with it, I guess.

"Tom Gop knows well English and is able to undertake interviews through after English" would be the localised version.

It's perfectly understandable so why should we expect more from a non-native speaker? Personally I'm grateful that foreigners learn my language so I don't have to learn theirs, but go ahead and pretend that we should hold them to the same standards if that suits your boat.

PS. Leaving in "suits" for humor value.

Which trailer? I seen only leaked video made for publishers, it didn't talked about story much, if at all.

This is more reliable resource, but I didn't have time to watch it whole. They said northern kingdoms would be plunged into chaos, so lets grab a map and try to guess what are northern kingdoms. I'd guess that Ada lover will be unscratched, which drops the ball at that king who gave 8000 orens to the main character.
