And I think it makes you a racist too.
Im a little optimistic about this game, but I sure hate real time combat.

If the toolset is easier to use than NWN2's, this might have as many fan-made mods as the original NWN. The combat looks OK, but it's not innovative in any way, as the developers claim. Timing-based combat has been done before, look at action games.

I want even more bloom! There's not enough to do not see people's faces. Ask Betheda how to do it, bitches!

fighting looks pretty good and level design is awesome. Especially I like true forest trees. And not like in most games where they are just 2 meter tall.
However I'm somewhat disappointed with somewhat diablish leveling system.

fuck you!

It doesn't suddenly become a bad game if they port it to consoles after it's finished.

The sword fighting does look good though. At 2:43 you see him actually gripping the blade (half-swording?) and using a two handed sword in a way that isn't the generic smash stuff like a bat that's present in standard fantasy.

well the game is not finished yet. And if "suddenly" they will decide to port it... I'm sure they will dumb it down. They have the time. I just hope they will dumb it down only for consoles if what.

console porting may not fuck up The Witcher, but it certainly will fuck up The Witcher 2.
Just because it happens in 99.99% of all the cases, it does not mean that console portation will dumb down a game or its sequels for sure...

No way that it will happen, they have pc game that is almost finished and is polished, that is decently hyped now. All that could happen if that they could decide to remake it after they finish pc version, that would not make Pc version worse but it would be horrible waste of time, and they trouble.
Atari person: "Nothing official but I would like to see it happen." So duh, he said nothing that is politic talk, you should get used to it already.

Porting to consoles would require a totally different controlls, it will probably be difficult to make (or to come up with a good idea for it) but it can be done. I guess it's easier to make sucky controlls out of console controlls. Anyway, as for now the game is (nearly) done for PCs and it won't suck in the aspects of controlls and interface. Any sequels will probably won't be bad either as they would use same schemes.
The content such as dialouges is something different and doesn't really depend on being a game for consoles or for PCs. I don't think it would get dumbed down in next parts of the game if the first will be succesfull (considering the same developers willl make it).

Have the time for what? The game is like a month away from release now.
In other news, read the comments on the video, they're pretty funny.

Not only did they say that they might port it, though, they said that it would fit well on a console. Add to that what they've said about the combat system, and the best we can hope for is an actiony RPG-lite, like the Gothic series.
Actually, their descriptions of the levelling system (and the combat system) sound A LOT like Gothic 2. True, you don't directly get new skills in Gothic 2 when you level (unless it's something like take trophies or alchemy), but the one handed/two handed ability basically goes towards getting you better, faster, longer combos (although, hilariously, the master combo for one handed wasn't as good as the intermediate one...). Gothic 2 is good, and I suppose a "second" Gothic 2 wouild be welcome, but it's probably not worth the amount of hype it gets around here.

I think so, it wasn't a guy from CDPR but someone from Atari. Amazingly he's called senior producer but I think he doesn't do any more than managing translation and bugfixes of what is already done. He may not even know much about the game production and how could it be ported.Shoelip said:

Gothic 2 is a very good RPG, even better with NotR. If the Witcher is going to have the same level of RPGishness, I'm sold.
Well, actually, I'm sold already, but anyway.
