The Witcher E3 review
If this E3 update on The Witcher feels like deja vu, it's probably because the action role-playing title has made an appearance at the Expo for three straight years now. And it still isn't due until Q2 '07.GameSpy has summarized CDProjekt's latest presentation of the Andrzej Sapkowski-based fantasy adventure, and if you like a deep storyline, The Witcher could be for you. Boasting over 300 cut scenes, the game is highly plot-driven and involves extensive decision making to complement its fast-paced combat.
It looks like the Polish developer has been busy modifying BioWare's Aurora Engine, but have they done as good of a job as Obsidian has for Neverwinter Nights 2? You be the judge.

These guys were hanging around outside of the media badge pre-show pick up and asking people with media badges to schedule a time to watch their show in Kentia. 32 & I were more than a little put-off by the hard sell.

not witchy enough, but it's getting closer to my witching standards.

So, what does the Witcher do, exactly? Does he witch?
Yes, yes, I know, plagiarism, but semantics are funny.

The witcher sounds better in Polish - although it's a new word created from the witch - it's a male witch.
in Polish :
fem. witch - wied?ma
thus witcher - wied?min .
By the way, great fantasy literature - if You like this genre, You should definitely read them

Shouldn't this be a preview since the game hasn't been released yet?
