Story
-----
After helping to stop the rebellion undertaken by the Order of
the Flaming Rose and saving King Foltest’s life, Geralt became
one of the central figures of political turmoil in the Kingdom of
Temeria. Geralt continues to protect the King in the monarch’s
mission to bring peace to his state. The last bastions of the
Order yielded to the royal army. The only remaining task is to
pacify the rebellious castle of Baroness La Valette, who
announced separation from the Kingdom.
It’s been a month since the attempted assassination of the king,
when his army arrives at the gates of Baroness La Valette’s
fortress in preparation for the final battle. In the meantime,
Geralt, stuck with Foltest, cannot begin his personal quest - to
discover the origin and identity of the mysterious witcher-like
assassin responsible for the attempt on the king’s life - a quest
that would answer many questions...
Key Features
------------
* A truly epic, intense, emotionally charged adventure with
non-linear game narration. Three independent plot lines with
several alternative events are dependent on the player’s choices
and lead to multiple different game endings and several
additional plot forks. This time gameplay time will be shorter
than The Witcher 1, but more intense and packed with events.
* A complex, realistic and mature story touching upon subject
matter seldom seen in other RPGs, told in a manner that is
understandable and attractive to contemporary gamers. We
investigate the assassinations of the rulers of the Northern
Kingdoms and follow Geralt’s personal theme, in which he’s
looking for his own identity. Gradually we learn how powerful
forces influence our situation and what role they order us to
play.
* Rich, mature dialogue as found in Andrzej Sapkowski’s book
series and The Witcher 1, presented in highly filmic cutscenes
and dialogues sequences, thanks to a new game engine.
* New, improved system of flashbacks. Now the reminiscences of
Geralt, in which we observe the link between our past choices
with current actions, are realistically and smoothly woven into
the gameplay.
* Sex and eroticism will be introduced in a much more realistic,
involving and mature way, thanks to which sexual relationships
are presented more credibly than in TW1.
* Unique, deep, consistent and rich game world established in a
series of best-selling books by A. Sapkowski and recreated in the
game to provide an incredible, believable story-driven
experience.
* Believable, true-to-life characters with their own motivations
and goals. During our journey we meet ordinary men, soldiers,
rebels, powerful mages, rulers and their assassins. Depending on
our decisions we meet different game characters, and our
relationships shape further actions in the game.
* Highly varied, breathtaking locations, which thanks to the new
engine create a cohesive, fully accessible world!
* Rich, living world in which every character has their own way
of life and unique occupations. Our actions modify the
relationship with the game-world population and, in the case of
the main plot line, open or close the possibilities of
interaction with the game world.
* Greater freedom of exploration to provide increased game
realism and a wider range of new options. Geralt will
sur barriers, jump over fences, scale walls and ascend rock
formations.
* A beautiful new graphic Red Engine based on State-of-the-Art ,
ultramodern technology created by CD Projekt RED.
