Found an interesting read in http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/14/projekting-hands-on-with-the-witcher-2/#more-57040.Not sure if has been posted. The previewer mentioned there's no manual save but only just Quicksave. Anyone knows it'll be changed in the release version?

Yes, there will be manual saving. It's been confirmed several times by the devs - the preview version did not feature all the main menu options that will be in the full game.

Can you point us in the direction of the confirmation?Because just to state that there will be more menu options, does not say anything at all and I've noticed that they like to answer direct questions very vaguely, like "You'll see when you play, a lot has changed". Which didn't anwer the specific question at all.Nice review though. Glad it didn't have as many plot spoilers as the German one (shoulda known that before), but tackled the basics of the game.

The italian youtube video kinda spoil me.. Argghh.. but can't blame anyone.. blame myself for it

F*cking epic first 15 seconds in the italian trailer! And full of spoilers, too!!!Ok, here is one more, this is from my land (so, in spanish). Very positive review, it seems like the journalist has made an effort to try to found some flaw, with little success.http://www2.meristation.com/v3/des_avances.php?pic=PC&id=cw4da749d7f2ef1&idj=cw4ab35432cee54&idp=&tipo=art&c=1&pos=0And one addittional note: among the users of the forum of this magazine, there are serveral that strongly approves the DRM policy of CDPR and have decided to get the game from GOG. Great!

But on how playable in players rig, stability, loading times, the actual experience of the combat still remain misery till we get the game.Darnn the CE edition is really beautiful... Can't really decide if i should get the version from GoG or CE...

The GoG version or the CE one? The dark haired chick or the hottie with glassies? Life is full of marvelous choices ...

I hope some of these environments are actually big. They look so good I'm beginning to doubt, lol.@ DevilsAdvocate. Yep, it was in there twice.

Yeah i'm having doubts too is TW2 really that good? lol.. i've seen some videos with the archer guy.. was it dandelion? It seems to be that good.There's a new preview in rpgsite for TW2:http://pc.rpgsite.net/articles/273/273/the-witcher-2-preview.htmlThey are still using the 'hansome' Geralt... I think CDPR should notify them that the latest look of the protagonist no longer resemble the earlier look to avoid misleading newcomers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sijdCV-EsXgI found a Czech preview...it contains small spoilers and some new locations from the prologue and the first chapter. There is a dialogue with Triss too, where you can hear her new voice similar to the prison break video.Sorry for my english.
