Interview What The Witcher Taught CD Projekt about RPGs: A Gamasutra Interview

[GarfunkeL]

It's a good ruleset. Quite detailed and should have been fairly simple to port to computers.

 

[Suchy]

Oh ffs, did you really expect exact pnp rules in an action game? I'm more afraid of CDP going third person popamole.

 

[Volourn]

CDP is all about action games. This isn't new. Their new shit is the same as their old shit. Grade F garbage. Some of the worst games ever. Take their Twitcher, Twitcher 1.2, Twitcher 1.5, Twitcher 1.78, Twitcher 1.9999, Twicther 2, twicther, 2.1, twitcher 2.345, and twitcher 2.7899965 and combine them and they're still barely worthy of 3/10. R00fles!

 

[Excidium]

At least they're pretty to look at.

What The Witcher Taught CD Projekt about RPGs:

...not to try to make RPGs.

Very edgy of you, indeed. But tell me: how the first Witcher is more of an action game and less of a role playing game than, let's say... number 4 on 2010's Codex Top 5 RPGs, Bloodlines??

 

[racofer]

Here we go.

 

[Excidium]

OH SNAP!

 

[Severian Silk]

I quit playing The Witcher 1 because the combat sucked.

 

[Jaesun]

So you quit playing Planescape:Torment as well?

 

[Roguey]

So you quit playing Planescape:Torment as well?

Didn't you quit The Witcher...?

It's more obnoxious than Torment because of the forced rhythm game and because you can't click on anything if there's enemies about and locked in combat mode, so it's not like you can run to the level exit without stopping in some cases. The red ribbon becomes a liability in this case since the jerk's just going to keep running away from you while you're attacking and as a result you're going to spawn more drowners who draw Geralt-aggro but don't actually attack you so you have to remove and reapply the damn thing each time. I can see why some people just don't want to deal with all that.
