That was the most brilliant (and probably very expensive for them) thing i have ever seen in RPG which is such story heavy.
Most of quests in TW2 ware rather refreshing. Outcome of those choices were just simply grand.
If they will even go deeper than that then it will be simply mindblowing.
No one can say they played witcher 2 until they replay it from other side perspective.
If they could connect above with The Witcher 1 unpredictable outcomes then we would have truly top notch RPG. And something like investigation in TW1 act2 would be just mindblowing. No handholding.

I think there's a middle ground somewhere. Witcher 2's split seemed like too much of a toggle switch, in a game series that prides itself on natural choices. You can still have the occasional quest that isn't available because of who you traveled with, but I prefer they expand on the Witcher 1 way where your choices can effect quests later in the game in ways you don't know until they happen.

Personally I'm all for vastly diverging outcomes, quests and NPC interactions, but I'm not a big fan of preventing access and exploration of entire areas as consequence of your choices. If anything, even just because I don't find it a very cost-effective solution (and in fact I don't think it's just a coincidence that the third chapter felt rushed as hell).
Found the source for the forum rumor. It was a post from a CD Projekt Red employee on the Polish forum. Anyone can translate that? I have added a Google translation below for now.
That at least confirms that we will get the announcement tomorrow evening Polish Time. Given that they are talking about a annoucement that is "typical for the biggest hits in the industry" I would say a GI cover seems likely at this point.
Google Translate said:Ladies, ad announced on 5 February 2013 will be a completely different character than our previous events of this type, and at the same time will be typical for the biggest hits in the industry worldThe message will be routed directly to the largest global market - the U.S. players - so specific information so you can expect on Feb. 5 in the evening

Yeah looks like they want to deliver this time.

I don't think I can take both of these back to back after Rune Factory 4 a few days ago. Better start preparing my body now!
The Witcher 3... I bought the 560ti for 2, I guess I'll be getting a 7XX or 8XX whatever is out by the time it releases. Maybe I can has ubersampling this time

I hope Roche appears in the game. team vernon for life
Both of them won't be in TW3. Roche is part of Redania special forces and elf has it's own things to do in Aedirn especially if he has hots for Saskia and does want to be part of human-nonhuman country like he wanted to.
But you will have Yennefer. Who she is ? Someone who is just infinitely better, more awesome than roche (if they get her right)
As much as I love Triss, Yennefer is so much better than her too. Like you said, if they get right.
Where did we hear about a P5 announcement?
Do you know why Geralt hates unicorns ? Because of Yennefer and her ... fetishes.
If they get her right i doubt there is character in gaming that will be as awesome and interesting as her.
Yes, I am curious with where he heard that too.

I'm the only one here who don't like Yennefer at all...LOL
I like her when she appears in the genie case on the book, but after that thing just got worse and worst...IMHO!

Wasn't the game based off a book? Or am I confusing it with Metro haha.
Anyway, I can't wait for tomorrow, had forgot about it, good, since I didn't realize I had to wait for like 3 weeks since Project Cyberpunk.

Yes, GMT+1.
Both Witcher and Metro are based on books. Yennefer hasn't really had an apearance in the games yet, aside from the memory sequences.

To be honest it sounds to me more like he's just suggesting that their marketing efforts will be more aimed to the american audience.
That would be crazy.
It is very very very very hard to describe her.
Think something like this:
Woman that is powerful. As sorceress and and superbly intelligent. She is first and foremost manipulative and use people left and right, when someone do something to her bad she will repeat that 100x times more with vengeance in her "evil violet eyes". She will use anyone to achieve her goal and if she can't get it in normal way she will even use her charm be it mental or physical to full extend.
As love interest to Geralt she was/is like wife who love him and the same time beats him and generally she always decides stuff completely controlling Geralt and because of that both of them constantly were fighting with each other often ending with few months of being single and spending their time having fun with other girls/boys.
She is one of the reasons why sex=/=love is so true.
She even get laid with Geralt and some dude same day (her long time friend).
All above still doesn't describe her character fully.
It will be very very very very hard to get her character right and i trully don't want to be in place of writer which want to get her character right.
Meh, bring back Shani.

I'm on Team Ioverth too. I like Roche but I don't get why he's so loved either.
Right on!
Maybe they are refocusing to no-tits policy on witcher then
Damn, what wrong with tits. I like tits.

OH, NOT ON MY WATCH!!!
You don't see something like this often in RPGs
