From what I understand, They are still using dudes in the office for demo voice acting. I'm sure I heard some clicky microphone when Geralt spoke too. I'm sure they'll keep it consistent in the final product.

The best PC RPG in years is getting a sequel. I might actually get a new PC just for this game!

This makes me sad. I loved The Witcher, but my PC is no longer capable of playing anything new. No Witcher 2 for me.

Okay, that does look pretty awesome. Never heard of the first one, though.

I heard an interview with the guys that created CDProjekt and GOG.com on BBC Global Business back in December I think and they were talking about that their next project was a sequel to The Witcher, although I believe they also mentioned porting the first game to 360 which apparently isn't happening. I was kind of hoping that at least the sequel would be coming to consoles. That trailer looked pretty sweet.

I'm slowing playing through the first game now. I hope they release it for the 360. I really don't like playing PC games anymore.

For those who enjoyed the Witcher game, and maybe the books/stories (if anyone here has read them), you might like the TV mini-series Wiedzmin, or you won't. It got low reviews, but I enjoyed it.

It all comes down to money. Can't upgrade, I would have to build a whole new PC.

Luckily, you're in the minority. 1.5 million >>>PC<<< users bought this, I think they have a winning formula and the idea of them changing it is nonsense, imo.

" I liked the combat in W1. Far more interesting than the usual click, click, click, click, click, buff, click, click, click, dead, found in almost every RPG.  I just hope they have more character weapons and armor upgrades.  And W1 has an awesome story with a good twist. "
Instead of "click click click click click click" of the standard RPG, Witcher's combat was "click.....click.....click.....click....." Hardly an improvement. Luckily, everything else in Witcher was awesome.

The first one was great even though I never finished it. But I played it for a good 40 hours before I got distracted by some other game. Looking forward to more cardcollecting.

No. Don't, man. Don't recommend that series to anyone. I'm planning to translate the blog from radkowiecki.is.evil.pl about that TV shit just to show what a crime against mankind that "movie" was.

I bought the first one off steam when it was on discount. Maybe I will get around to playing it someday.

i never got to finish the first one. i got to the fourth chapter and the game would keep on crashing, even on the special edition version. it was quite a shame. i WILL be picking the sequel up, though.

After that first game's ending, I've been waiting on this. STOKED. 
Greatest moral choices of any RPG I've ever played.

I am currently playing through the first one right now and must say i'm loving it.  I feel like it is a great mix of the human world and a fantasy world.  Hope this one is as good as the first.
