NO HYPE ???

I guess you haven't read many gaming magazines or RPG web sites lately ? ...


The hype does seem to be a lot less here... possibly because Sapkowski isn't as well known? I actually did a walk about today, and checked five stores for "The Witcher": only two of them had it, and it wasn't prominently displayed in either.

The gaming magazines on the shelves here mention several games on the cover, but, again, "The Witcher" isn't one of them. "Hellgate: London" and "Bioshock" seem to be getting the most attention.

isorun, many thanks for your commentary thus far. Have you encountered any of the flashbacks yet? (I suppose you'd have to be well into the game to trigger them...)
