I'm reaaaaallly hoping that was a leaked video... Using placeholder VOs without explaining it is most probably going to be viewed as a negative. And if they are the ACTUAL VOs, in which case I hope it comes with the original Polish VOs.

The claims by the fella were a bit dubious and ostentatious though:
BEST graphics in an RPG to date
MOST DYNAMIC combat system
INTERESTING BOSS FIGHTS

Doesn't help that the "dynamic world" aspects sounded a bit like Oblivion's Radiant AI presentation...


Combat looks about the same with the first game and the boss fight just looks like it has QTEs... whoop de doo

I wish he'd expanded more on the consequence system from the first game, that was awesome.

Did you play the first Witcher game fully? In it, certain actions that you did in the earlier parts of the game would cause changes in what happens a few chapters later.

For example:
In the prologue, depending on whether you chose to fight the Beholder or Wizard, you would get different enemies to fight later.
If you chose to assist or hinder the "terrorists", you would have different consequences later.


Yes, its just a consequence system, but unlike other RPGs, the consequences themselves only manifested many many hours later instead of instantly in most RPGs.

Which is good since this year is getting pretty crowded already... If it weren't for Modern Warfare 2, we'd probably have almost a dozen more being released this year.

Then again, Q1 next year is looking mighty crowded as well (mmmm Mafia 2)

Its most definitely place holder dialogue (Just about EVERYONE in that video had a Polish accent) unless of course they had some massive budget cuts in the audio department.
