RPG Codex has interviewed Michal Kicinski, Piotr Panasewicz, and Michal Madej of CD Projekt about 'The Witcher'. Here's a snip about the literary property the game is based on:2. Why did you decide to make a game based on Sapkowski's books?
For us, it was such a natural choice that it is hard to say what we'd do if Sapkowski's works never existed:). Since the very beginning we knew that this is exactly what we were after. The world, the characters, the dialog, more mature themes – it was the best material for a game we could possibly imagine. Hmmm, I've just noticed that we're doing fairly well with making our dreams come true;). |
