TVG: Readers from the UK and many other European countries might not be familiar with Polish Fantasy author, Andrzej Sapkowski, who is working with the team. Can you explain the reasons for his popularity and the part he played in the making of the game?

Developers Sapkowski's popularity in Poland is an absolute phenomenon - his works are read by basically everyone, including people who do not normally read fantasy. It's hard to name a single defining reason for this; for sure, the main character of the Witcher, Geralt, is very important in this regard - a character that is very interesting, extraordinary and original. Geralt was supposed to be a cold, soulless mutant created for the sole purpose of slaying monsters, but - due to an error in experiments - he still has human-like emotions and feelings. Another significant factor has to be the innovative, mature and post-modern world in which the novels are set. This world does not have the standard good vs. evil divisions, but thrives on real issues, often referring to modern world problems such as racism or even ecology. Lastly, there's probably the most essential characteristic of Sapokowski's writing - his lightness of style and often strong language that is rich beyond compare. (Madej)
