RPGamer has released their <a href="http://www.rpgamer.com/event/e3-2004/journals/witchera.html">impressions</a> of the upcoming Polish RPG, The Witcher and needless to say, they're very impressed. Here's a scoop:<blockquote>
<br>
The combat system slightly resembles NeverWinter Nights or Diablo, but brings in a customizable combat queue to allow variation in attacks. Finishing moves display attention directly to gore, but allow even more diversity in combat. Following a battle, your health and fatigue bars consistently rise. Meditation also helps in speeding up this process.

<br>
From what I've seen, the interface looked quaint and easy to use. Your mouse will control everything, but you have the option to use default keyboard controls or setup your own. DirectX 9 is used in conjunction with the original engine to improve the particle, lighting, and water visuals. The game is set to please the eyes.</blockquote>

That's actually the gist of the impressions they had from The Witcher. Now you don't have to visit them.

seen the video demo. the combat looks extremely boring. the demo guy click once on the enermy, and the next few minutes witcher hacks away while demo guy watches on.

So they haven't changed it from NWN at all?

no. if possible it looks even more boring. to be fair the demo combat consists witcher just hacking away. no spells used, no special moves/abilities. maybe the final product toss in a few special abilities to spice up the boring combat abit.

i find it amazing RPG gamer is impressed by it. to me it looks so boring.
