The Witcher NWN

in General Discussions NWN:EE
A little curiosity I found today - check out this NWVault interview from 2005 in which CD Projekt asnwer the NWN community's questions about the upcoming Witcher game as if it was an NWN premium mod of sorts (it was built on the Aurora engine, after all). Seems ironic that now that series has grown so much more prominent than any NWN offshoot. :)https://web.archive.org/web/20060111085125/http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Interviews.Detail&id=213

    I remember playing the first Witcher game and going "This is built on the Aurora engine??" It looked and played SO differently from NWN1 I could scarcely believe it. XD

    I'm playing the Witcher 1 (the EE) currently and that game still holds up perfectly. They managed to surprise me and make me take at least 2 hard grey-area decisions in my 20 hours in-game. It's a bit surreal to read that interview and think about how all that started.

    The Witcher showed what the (heavily modded) engine could do in a different setting. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic was another NWN engine offshoot. The combat rounds were speeded up to make it look more realistic (no 6 seconds in between hits due to D&D rules). I loved both games. But I'm still playing NWN (now the Enhanced Edition) after close to 18 years because of the DM'd multiplayer experience, which no other game can do.

    most of bioware's games up to about dragon age 2 were made on a modified versions of the Aurora engine
