Development Info The Witcher 2 - written in English first

[Elwro]

What? The Polish writing was awesome, don't know

1) what you've been smoking;
2) whether it's even possible for us to properly discuss the merits of Polish writing on a foreign-language board;
3) whether it wouldn't boil down to "lol it's a matter of taste anyway".

Still, I doubt you can reasonably deny that quite a lot of conversations, e.g. the one with one of the dwarves' (Act 2) view on life, or the ones with Baranina, or during Leuvardeen's party, wouldn't be out of place in a good movie.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :'( Fuck you, CDP Witcher written in English won't be the same Witcher. Seriously, Wiedźmin was full of Polish jokes, word-plays and we even had our president Kaczyński's words in it "Spieprzaj dziadu" which were very popular in our culture (especially teenagers). Now everything will be gone... WHY?* It's a decline!


* - screw foreigners!

CRYYYYYY SOOOMEEEEE MOOOOOOOOOREEE!!!!!!

I think he's simply trolling without even playing it in Polish.

 

[Darth Roxor]

So if the writing is poor this time, they won't be able to blame this on the translation. Seriously though, remembering TW's translation fuckup, this seems to be a very reasonable move for a multi-language game.

What exacly do you mean by translation fuckup? I was playing both version( polish first, then english) and a difference between those ain't so huge. English version is as piss poor as polish, it's the same not finished dialogs and some sentences "from the ass".

The problem in TW 1 was not translation, it was the writing, which compared to the other crpg productions was very poor. Polish version suffers from the same things as english

Stop the lies. Srsly.

Yeah, there were some good dialogs, but it's about 60 h/long game and those are the best of it. Remeber the begining of the game? Dialogs with Leo? I couldn't belive that could take place in a game with 6 years work on. Dialog with Triss in the bad? That wasn't even Troma Project level. Writing in TW was very rough. There are some good dialogs, but there are some of the worst dialogs I have ever seen too. Sometimes it's so campy that you could think they made it and didin't even read it

 

[Gragt]

I piss on your juvenile scorn.

 

[Jaesun]

AMERICA FUCK YEAH.

 

[L'ennui]

This is sad. Don't go down the drain like this, you crazy Poles.

It's not Polish if it doesn't have ąłęśńóćźź

 

[TheCowburner]

Oh, sorry my bad.

Just admit that you can't read polish

 

[Elwro]

He can read; he just can't write.

WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO THE TOPIC because it's precisely the case of 90% non-native speakers of English, including me: they can read, but they can't write on a professional literary level (ffs, just look at the awkward epression I just concocted), so they shouldn't be chosen as writers for a very expensive development project.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Wystarczy NIEOSŁONIĘTYM DRYADY USTALĄ ten problem

 

[Elwro]

The point being, I presume, that they don't need dialogues to deliver a quality performance?

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

precisely, a reasonable amount of naked dryads will do the trick just as well

 

[Casus belli]

don't forget the sex cards. i suppose that's one of the situations where a picture is worth a thousand words (or rather the quality of a thousand words).

 

[Rhalle]

The sex cards made the game because they were unabashedly sleazy.

It will just be corny Bioware extreme puppet sex without them.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Exactly. Dump the fucking "relationships" ala Biowhore and keep the fucking sex cards. Yes, they are juvenile. No, Fable is still the un-crowned king of juvenile shit. Keep them, ditch the romances, and make Witcher different from Biowhore bullcrap.

I'm sure that whatever CD Projekt comes up with it will be much better then Fallout 3 which is "the best RPG of the year 2008/2009" or so they say.

You sure, I heard Fallout 3 was pretty good.
