The game will fucking rule.

As a bonus: hear the famous drunken sumo-English speaking style from the mouth of one of the designers! Also, some vodka inside.

Ah, so it's not "save the world", it's "save the brotherhood". A step in the right direction. And the flashback system sounds like a really good idea too. Kind of like getting the Fallout ending screens sprinkled throughout the game. I think I'm going to get that game. But then again, I also thought I'd get Metalheart, and I never did.

 

[Elwro]

Yeah, the flashback idea might be quite fun on its own if tastefully done, and it'll also help retards understand why what's happening is happening. It may be viewed as dumbing down done well.

This is the only game I see myself buying in the next 12 months, unless it's delayed beyond that.

I want to get the "most pure" and "least censored" version of the game. Any idea which countries will leave the product intact?

The UK probably will, unless it becomes a big seller.

 

[JarlFrank]

Yea, the UK is the most probable country to get it uncut. I always import my games from there, anyways. Germany will certainly get a censored version, and the US version might get some of the erotic stuff censored [there are harlots, so I guess there will be some interesting stuff].

Oh, and any Eastern European country will get the uncensored thing, too.

Hey, he spoke of the butterfly effect, didn't he? If that's the case the consequences of some choices may not be evident to people of average deduction abilities. You may need to be a Master of Deduction to figure out why something happens, or even that something that happens is due to a choice you made earlier. Especially if the cause and effect are only indirectly related. Hopefully there won't be too many 'random' results from actions though.

And it's also a good way to show that there aren't any bugs in their consequences, such as the game choosing the wrong consequence for an action.

I noticed their picture of Gianna Michaels for their...research on the female form :D

It's look pretty good it seems. The flashback system sounds like a nice touch, but I wonder if going back to show where you diverge along a different path will mean that you won't encounter that many, or maybe the cutscenes are just autosaved movies recorded by the game everytime you make a choice instead of prerecorded videos?

As far as combat is concerned, does the Witcher stick to the swords with no armor combo? And is it true that he doesn't use missles?
