Development Info The Witcher 2 - written in English first

Never touched Risen, but though I'm sure Rhianna Pratchett's English is perfectly fluent, she's a shit writer otherwise.

What exacly do you mean by translation fuckup? I was playing both version( polish first, then english) and a difference between those ain't so huge. English version is as piss poor as polish, it's the same not finished dialogs and some sentences "from the ass".

The problem in TW 1 was not translation, it was the writing, which compared to the other crpg productions was very poor. Polish version suffers from the same things as english

Stop the lies. Srsly.

What lies?Srsly

What? The Polish writing was awesome, don't know

1) what you've been smoking;
2) whether it's even possible for us to properly discuss the merits of Polish writing on a foreign-language board;
3) whether it wouldn't boil down to "lol it's a matter of taste anyway".

Still, I doubt you can reasonably deny that quite a lot of conversations, e.g. the one with one of the dwarves' (Act 2) view on life, or the ones with Baranina, or during Leuvardeen's party, wouldn't be out of place in a good movie.

CRYYYYYY SOOOMEEEEE MOOOOOOOOOREEE!!!!!!

I think he's simply trolling without even playing it in Polish.

Yeah, there were some good dialogs, but it's about 60 h/long game and those are the best of it. Remeber the begining of the game? Dialogs with Leo? I couldn't belive that could take place in a game with 6 years work on. Dialog with Triss in the bad? That wasn't even Troma Project level. Writing in TW was very rough. There are some good dialogs, but there are some of the worst dialogs I have ever seen too. Sometimes it's so campy that you could think they made it and didin't even read it

I piss on your juvenile scorn.

This is sad. Don't go down the drain like this, you crazy Poles.

Jeśli to schrzanią to powyrywam kłaki z rzyci i przyłożę rózgą na goły tyłek!

Chłodna anegdota, braciszku.

It's not Polish if it doesn't have ąłęśńóćźź

Oh, sorry my bad.

Fixed

Just admit that you can't read polish

He can read; he just can't write.

WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO THE TOPIC because it's precisely the case of 90% non-native speakers of English, including me: they can read, but they can't write on a professional literary level (ffs, just look at the awkward epression I just concocted), so they shouldn't be chosen as writers for a very expensive development project.

The point being, I presume, that they don't need dialogues to deliver a quality performance?

don't forget the sex cards. i suppose that's one of the situations where a picture is worth a thousand words (or rather the quality of a thousand words).

The sex cards made the game because they were unabashedly sleazy.

It will just be corny Bioware extreme puppet sex without them.

Exactly. Dump the fucking "relationships" ala Biowhore and keep the fucking sex cards. Yes, they are juvenile. No, Fable is still the un-crowned king of juvenile shit. Keep them, ditch the romances, and make Witcher different from Biowhore bullcrap.
