The very very first screenshot of The Witcher

After all the threads concerning the beginning of CD Projekt and the future of CD Projekt lately I decided to remind you guys how awesome the very first screenshot of The Witcher looked like in 2004.

Reminds me of gothic 2 a bit actually

Yep. If I were to see it before, I would think it to be from some Gothic 2 mod.

That looks... incredible.

Seriously! It has its own look, it's charming as hell, the bright colours are so uplifting and I'm digging the retro feel. I'm kinda wishing the game was a platformer now

Great find, thanks for sharing!

Go play Gothic 2 then. Because it is exactly how it looks. It is on GOG.

Thank god for the iterative process.

Did you guys notice that is actually Berengar, not Geralt?

Have some more:

There was already someone (Metropolis Software) working on it back in 1997, so these aren't really the first screenshots of the witcher

Well, if we're talking about old Witcher screenshots and nostalgia, this comes to mind:

I dunno from what year (2006?) that screenshot is, but it was the first screenshot from the game that I saw and instantly got me intrigued about the game.

Hello All,

My First Video that got me hooked for TW1.

Cheers!

This actually looks kind of cool and very medieval! I would have liked even this Witcher.

This looks cool graphically, but too much like a normal action-RPG, of which there are too many.

And this looks fantastic! This is the wooden bridge/dike outside of Vizima's Temple Quarter, isn't it?

If by GP you mean gameplay, 'tis not.

Hello All,



Opps!!!! Thx for the heads up E. The trials and tribulations of having multi windows and forums open at the same time, heheheheh



And I would have posted a screen shot to but yours was pretty close to the one I remember, I believe Simaq posted the one I remember similar to your but had the nice sunset with it.



Cheers!

Indeed the dike with it's famous and legendary harbor whore.

Was this supposed to be the salamandra base?
I wonder if cdp still has this version in a drawer.

It's probably an early version of kaer morhen.

I guess you guys will love the first Witcher trailer featuring Berengar.

This supposed to be Kaer Morhen back then. Pretty small, yes?

Same place few years ago.

Kaer Morhen is a ruin right? Maybe a different place or a lore flaw.
