Haven't seen the official thread? Really never went into it myself but the title piqued my interest in itself. GAF is the reason I bought the game. Really liked the first chapter and need to get back in it but I liked it and will get this.DennisK4 said:I am rather surprised the thread got this long already. I didn't know the first game had such a following on GAF.

Here are some wishes:EvolveTom said:Some quick responses
BobsRevenge said:I just hope they make the combat and skill progression more compelling. I felt both were pretty weak in The Witcher. The combat was boring for the lack of skill and thought it took. I'm not sure how far I got in it, but I never really got into the game. I felt like I was running errands most of the time. I think I'm on my first visit to the swamps.
Vagabundo said:Add me to the group that never made it past the first chapter. And I really disliked the combat system's timed click thing.
Maybe the sequel will be better out of the gate.

Kinan said:I haven't read it in English, so I cant comment on the quality of the translation though, but if it at least half as good as the original/russian translation it will not be possible to put the book away until you finish.
Kinan said:First book (which is the best in the Withcher saga) is available in English already. English translation of the second is is planned for 2011, could be synchronized with Witcher 2 release actually.
But the short novels collection dubbed "Last Wish" is one of the best if not THE best fantasy book i ever read, and its also translated, so go and buy it asap.

I bought the Witcher more times than normal (disc + digital), so that post pissed me off a bit more than usual

Its understandable that no one likes things they got attached to being changed - thats a fact, thats why the new face woke up so many emotions. Let me give you a short clarification though Smiley
In case of TW1 Geralts face was done, as I remember, 3 times totally from the scrap. It changed a bit every time, which you can see on various promotional materials. Since we started working on TW2, the face has changed another 2 times (the face from the first leaked material, believe it or not, was totally different than the one in TW1). Were just constantly looking for and complaining.
Since the times of TW1 we got experienced and got more skills, we can make more realistic faces which have proper proportion and human features. We also have incredible concept artists whose creations are way better than the ones from TW1. Thats why we decided to redesign all main characters, and once again design their faces, just barely based on the originals (keeping only the most important features - Dandelions little beard, Zoltans haircut, etc)
Once we had the full set of main characters put together side by side, Geralt started to look strange... his disproportionate face stood out making the impression of badly made model. It pushed us to iterate Geralt one last time, thanks to which the White Wolf got his human proportion, which bizarrely provoked many of your comments.
For you, the old Geralt had a face with intentionally highlighted wolfish features, for us he was simply a badly made model.
Nevertheless, you rightly point out in your comments that Geralt looks too young, has too shallow scars, too few of them and too flat texture - WELL FIX THAT! The texture of the face definitely needs to be fixed and will definitely make Geralt look differently. Well probably mess with the eyes as well. However, the proportion of the face, its structure will probably stay the same - we wont come back to the old proportion both for technical reasons (ready facial expression system is done based on this head) as well as for time limitations (each iteration of Geralts head takes a lot of time, which is always too short). Moreover, were simply happy with the face which you could see on the main page of GameTrailers:
In your comments you focus mainly on the last shot from the film, in which Geralts face is in strange grimace. Let me point out that those shots were not prepared especially for the film, they are part of the game, they were recorded and used in the film which you will have the chance to check on Thursday.
Regarding the rest of the model:
Geralts hair in the film and current gameplay has no physics applied (the hair is still), has no shader (which will diametrically change the look) and is taken from the first leaked material (June 2009) - we plan to make it from scratch. Additionally, there might be a possibility of changing the haircut by the player, Im totally in favour of that.
On the film Geralt is wearing a heavy armour - thats why hes looking powerful and heavy, in TW2 the character will have much more equipment elements and armours. There will be light armours - just like the first three in TW1 - and heavy ones like the one from the film. Scabbards are not fully done yet, thats why they split while sword is being taken out - that will be fixed. We also have a sabre with curved scabbard, already done. Maybe it will be presented on Thursday as it looks super cool.
Well, it took me a while but I hope I dispelled a few of your worries. Im sorry I wont answer your specific questions but you created loads of them.
Keep tight and thanks for your support!

Wow those Russian numbers are pretty crazy. I wonder how that compares to the NA numbers.BiasedGamer said:About first game:

-budget (includes cost of Enhanced Edition): 27m PLN (less than $10m)
