Will objects fall from monsters?
Yes and no. It will not happen, as in some games, that upon killing a wolf a double-handed sword falls from the creature. It will be possible to mount a monster as a trophy (proof of completion of a task) and to take out precious ingredients for elixirs.
How will the damage be calculated? Will it be the dice system or something else?
In The Witcher the damage is not represented by dice. It is presented by numbers – the minimum and the maximum damage. The final number of damage will be an average that stems from a spectrum of various modifications and parameters like: physical strength, fighting abilities, weapon damage, a kind of strike and the effectiveness of a used sequence.
How can the witcher gather experience?
During the game the hero gains Experience points for battling his opponents, discovering a way to various objects and accomplishing various tasks received from the NPCs. When the hero gains a relevant number of Experience points (EXP), he automatically advances at the next level.
Does reputation have an influence on the dialogue options?
Yes. It is obvious that you speak differently with your friends than with your enemies. As an example, characters under the black star never help us if our reputation is as pure as the driven snow. In turn, if we make Geralt into a killing machine it may turn out that the city guards will give us some black looks
What role will the inns fulfil?
The inns will play a very important role in the game. Above all, they will be the main place to obtain the quests. For example, a shopkeeper will not assign us a quest in his shop, but if we invite him for a beer in an inn he might turn out to be very chatty. It will also be possible to take part in several “competitions” (e.g. a fisticuffs dual) or, more commonly in this world, to get drunk. The inns will also serve as a place for a longer rest (even mutants have to relax sometimes).
Do you plan any tools for creation of unofficial modules?
Maybe not whole modules, but yes, we plan to give some tools for players.
Will there be any rating (age category) in the Witcher?
Due to some explicit erotic content, racism, brutality, violence and alcohol we assume the game will be rated ‘17+’ in Europe, or ‘M’ – ‘Mature’ in the USA.
Bring it on!
Igra je trebala biti lansirana u proljeće ove godine, ali je taj rok odgođen zbog dodatnih usavršavanja.Trenutno je u beta fazi, a očekuje se da će izaći u 9. mjesecu. Ovo me pomalo podsjeća na dobra stara vremena isčekivanja Diabla, čekalo se čekalo, ali se onda bome i dočekalo.
