Argh, still need to break out the first one & get through it before the sequel comes out. Too many good games have been coming out lately pushing back my plans.

Can't wait. Not sure how I feel about the game being shorter though.

@Binman88:  thats not really what they said.  they said the story will be shorter compared to the first one but because its on a grander more epic scale the number of gameplay hours cant really be determined (it could very well be just as long or longer, with more gameplay vs. direct storytelling.) where a lot of the garbage storylines (such as bring this item to this person and then come back) have been cut out.  they could just as easily make a dungeon significantly longer gameplay wise to compensate for such things.

Daumn it sounds better and better with every trailer and vid put out.
And wow I did not see it coming that the game will allow for importing of previous saves, nice to see them adopting this from ME series, hopefully it will be a bit more meaningful them in ME2.
Geralt getting scabbards is also a plus :)

I would much rather that they narrate the dev diary in a language that's comfortable to them and can be accurately translated, rather than some mangled English that will just confuse all of us.
You don't see Japanese developers making English dev diaries, at least not for the non-blatantly promotional ones *cough*FinalFantasy*
 
Also, I read somewhere that the Witcher 2 is being developed with English in mind as the primary language. Is this still true, or did they just mean that localization won't be an afterthought this time? Either way, really excited for this game. It looks like they've been taking lessons from the first game and other action RPGs.

I CANNOT wait for this game! Loved the first one, and CD Projekt has been pretty much one of my favorite developers ever since I played it. Dare I say, I am excited about this a whole lot more than I am about Dragon Age 2. Probably my most anticipated game, by far.

FYI I'm from denmark so I'm quite use to read subtitles, but I'm of the oppion that there should be only one language - anyways just hate the way it sounds...... and considering that most westeren people understand english, should make it an easy choice

I think they learned their lesson because they felt the need to put the Enhanced Edition out later. I'm pretty sure given the money they are going to make a good English localization.

i can't get over how cartoonish geralt looks in the witcher 2. he had such a rugged seasoned warrior in the first one. i don't understand why they decided to change it...

The funny/weird thing about this game is that The Witcher 2 development team is actually from Canada. I guess all that Klingon they're speaking is some kind of inside joke.

Interesting about the save data.  That's pretty slick, considering.
 
It seems I still have my Witcher saves somehow, from about 3 years ago... 681 of them in fact.  12Gb of save data.... thx Witcher.

This is a boring way to present your game babbling about it in polish for 6 plus minutes.

Oh yes, this is going to be awesome. 
 
The Witcher was a really good game and presented alot of great RPG ideas and a great fantasy world. Biowares DA felt really flat except in overall polish. DAs choices are always super simple to choose between good and bad and man the story was so cliché that it almost hurt. The Witcher atleast tries to introduce a world made up of shades of grey, no direct good or bad, just people with different views and opinions on how things should be done. And it succeeds pretty well in that regard and hope that gameplay both in and outside of combat will be perfected in Assassin of Kings!

What the hell did they do to Geralt's face?  Doesn't look like it used to at all.  I don't like it.  He had a grittier and more unique appearance to him before.  I don't understand this facial redesign.

It sounds like they're just cutting down on things like fetch quests and running from point A to point B. As much as I loved The Witcher, you walked an AWFUL lot, so this could wind up being a good thing.

@Th3dz: Listen to someone speak Slovakian and then Russian. They are really similar, especially Slovakian.  
 
Loved the first Witcher, just couldn't stand the bugs and didn't bother trying to the Enhanced Edition. Hopefully this one is going to be more stable from the beginning.

I'm in the same boat.  It's sitting in my Impulse, downloaded, installed, but haven't had the time to go through it yet. 
 
Hope the Witcher 2 translates well!
