HomeLAN - How did the idea for The Witcher come about?

Michal Kiciñski - Both Marcin and me are great fans of RPGs and action RPGs. We immensely enjoyed first Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance and suggested Interplay that we could port the game into PC platform. We were discussing it for couple months, but there were some problems on Interplay side and we decided not to involve ourselves in the project. However the idea of game development stayed with us. So we decided to create a completely new action rpg, and started to fulfill the plan step by step. First we founded CD Projekt RED and then bought the license for The Witcher. Thanks to this the game is set in a very interesting world and has a very cool main character.
