Soon, I believe beginning of February, there will be a press conference for western gaming magazines. Then we should have some more info on the game.Krendel said:

Like I said in the other thread, I hope that PC Gamer does an article on it...PC Gamer is a very popular PC games magazine in North America and I think it would be great publicity for TW to get a feature article in it. Myabe it's wishful thinking, but who knows, it might happen.
I don't think CDPR would miss such an opportunity and they will invite PC Gamer for the preview. This will be also the first time that the journalists will have the chance to play the game. I had some time ago - it was hell of fun!
The Witcher is just in pre-alfa??? So what about relise date? Is it still 2nd quartal 2007???
We can't be sure of that any more. First there was info about Fall 2007 in the US, and then some more info that the premiere will be the same all over the world. There was quite a long dispute on the Polish side of the forum and we are still waiting for the official information.Ksandr Warfire said:
Well, waiting for official info. Funky Monk said not to be affraid. I hope he knows what he sais.
Whould you say in what stage is game's build right now? Beta? Pre-release?
Will there be ANY version of "the witcher" in english(or german, but i expect, that this won't happen), which is entirely uncensored?i don't care if i have to import the polish version, with a polish cover etc., as long as i can switch to "english". so: will i be able to play the game entirely uncensored if the languages i understand are german and english?Please give adults the possibility to play uncensored games. please.
The only info that we've got now is about the German and US edition. All the others should be 'full'. However it's nothing official yet.
I have read that it won`t be any skills such as sneaking, stealing or picklocking in the game. I understand that witcher never stole anything in book stories and some claim that such a behavior doesn`t suit to him. But in my estimation banning thievish skills is bad idea. It creates many stupid limitations and kills the main idea of the genuine RPG - the freedom of choice. For example if geralt had to get into some locked guarded room he would have only few possibilities- to convince or kill the guard, and then to bash the door. But if he were able to use stealing he could lift the key and sneak behind watchman's back. He also could pick the lock etc. I understand that individuality of Geralt was created by Sapkowski but I believe that every player should be given a chance to play on they own. If I want witcher to be assasin or burglar, why not? Witcher should also be able to bows. They should be hard to use, unaccurate, whatever you want, but witcher should be able to pick them up. I hope you will get my point 
As far as I know (and I know that from some previews) Geralt will be able to use other weapon than swords. He may use bows, axes and other, however he will not be as skillful as while using his swords. So it's like yariash suggested.I know nothing however of Geralt being a thief or a burglar if we want to. I suspect it will be possible. It's true that Sapkowski didn't make his character in any of those professions, but this is an RPG so we have to be able to use such skills. But we will have to wait till Fall to see for ourselves.
