was this ever explicitly said in the books? it's been a while since i read them, and i don't recall there ever being any explicit mention of women being forbidden from becoming one.. as far as i recall there just happened not to be any female witchers, though there was one in the shitty somewhat non-canon movie.morvael said:

From all things I've said, I personally believe that there aren't, there weren't and there won't be female witchers in Sapkowski's world.
i think it will be wonderful when u finish the main quests and the game, u can have free roaming on the city and maps with quests that begin after the grand master is killed... a lot of witcher quests, like contracts, and also to have the chanche to have a marriage, a house or a castle, somthing more that make u continue playing, i've finished the witcher in 4 days doing all secondary quests.... where are the 80 hours playing experience?
Mulltipler, the co-operative passing is to 4 persons, to increase the volume of inventory 
I like the pet idea. A following pet, like a wolf or a horse that you could also level up and use as auxiliary inventory storage would be nice. Maybe a coice between a wolf or horse as the player likes. I think a war horse to ride that would also kick/attack the baddies would be kinda cool. As Geralt levels up, the wolf/horse would also get increased speed and strength. The horse would have the added ability of being able to ride it and have stronger attacks, so the wolf could be a more viable option if it offered faster attacks and a chance to infect (rabies/poison damage).Antimatter said:
Talking abou textensions, well...I'm not sure anything short of a full-blown new area or a complete expansion pack would be satuisfying - htis isn't an MMORPG after all, it's a single-player RPG.I'd better wait two years until The Witcher II or something. I mean, this series has potential. This is a great start, and in time this could be bigger than Gothic (well it's already much better, but not a series - yet...).That said, patches could do a lot to make the game better. Like the inventory (really frustrating sometimes) or some optimisation for Vista (yes, I'm running the game on it...). Or that game map to revisit places, together with a random quest generator or something.
Please, add method not only to get smth from cupboards, barrels and etc. , but also to put down items. I tired throw out great number of items.Sorry for my bad english...
Forgive me. I live in America, so I have not had the pleasure of reading more than one short story ("A Grain of Truth"), so I have very little knowledge of the stories. I have also never played World of Warcraft. It just seemed like a neat idea, and in a sense an alternative to the "backpack" idea mentioned by other people as the pet would be able to hold additional inventory items. Also, this game is supposedly set 5 years after the books end. Who is to say that Geralt can't decide he wants a war horse or other faithful animal companion to join him on his quests. Perhaps the whole idea could be a quest to attain said creature, and thus left entirely up to the player. Maybe Geralt accepts it/them as a form of payment and decides to train them up, hence the leveling ability. I personally like the horse idea more than the wolf, but I can see either option being viable. As he did have a horse in the original books, from what I have heard anyway, I personally like this option best. Others have posted the idea that they would like to see the horse. I was just presenting an idea that would make said horse be more than just a ride, by being able to defend itself and carry inventory, and possibly even attack on its own. Just because this wasn't done in the books does not mean that it SHOULD not be done in the game. I am all for keeping things close to the original intent of the creator, but I dont think this is much of a stretch. From trying to learn as much as I could about the story, I understand that Geralt had several different horses over the course of his life. Getting a new one that can fight is not altering the creator's intent so much as adding a new twist to the story.Watchdog said:Geralt had no pets like these in the books, especially not combat capable pets. He only had a horse, which stayed in stables while Geralt was in a city or doing a job.This is The Witcher, not WoW. :
@rjwest0004:Horses don't fight for theirselves, and I'd like to see the one who dares to try to store something on a wolf... In the book, Geralt used horses, but not for company, only to make the travels shorter. Plus, he didn't attack from horseback, as every witcher knows that fighting on foot leaves more chances of victory to him. They are not trained on horse combat. Anyway, the short extension of the map doesn't allow the use of horses, as you can go from one side of the map to another in only a few minutes.Maybe if they made a bigger map with all settlements and towns connected, as I have posted before, a horse would make sense...
Ekhm all those who want to see how geralt become a witcher, read the books, the game was created because of the books, they will not show you how it all happed because fans of andrzej sapkowski know how.This game its all about new story for all, fans and other.
Have the books been translated into english? Im totaly new to ths world, and from the game alone, am very impressed by it. Would also love to know if there are any rules or plans for them of a pen n paper/tabletop rpg in this world?
@Elven_RangerI think they are, but I cannot assure you, because I'm spanish. Also, I've heard there is a pen&paper version of the world of Geralt of Rivia, but only in polish. If I'm wrong, please correct me, if the game has an english version, I'd like to buy it.
I have a some questions about the SDK- Will there be a thorough documentation for the use of the SDK?- Is the language C++ derived like NWN's toolset?- Will there be a 3d model exporter and in which format (e.g. Maya, 3DS Max)?
hello and well meet i´m a dedicated nwn1 modder for some time and one thing i´m realy interested in is in fact the editor and all it´s capabilities. Even something like a pluginn for 3dsmax would be realy appreciated. While the content is top notch from the witcher there are always some little things i need for myself to accomplish my own goals. That would be something i´m looking forward. A pluginn for 3dsmax after the editor is released. Please CDproject Red. It´s just a must have.Here is my latest nwn1 project:http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=7241regardsdiademus
