| | | Moddable?
Is The Witcher moddable? I'm curious, because that's one of the features I'd always liked best about Morrowind: the ability to expand the quest system and introduce new gameplay elements via player-made mods.

| | Going by this brief interview it looks like it might be: Quote:
We will be very active in developing updates for The Witcher. The game will have very strong and long-lasting support from our team, which means that we will release patches as long as there will be nothing left to improve.
Going back to the question: we are planning to release a toolset and demo soon. And what is even more important is that along with a toolset, or soon after its release, we will provide players with new adventures, developed using the toolset. For now we are already working on one adventure that will be free for all registered users of the game.
| It's not entirely clear, but if they are releasing a tool set, it seems reasonable to speculate that there could be mods..

| | | Now, if it's detailed enough in results and easy enough to figure out and emply, that could make this game suddenly much, much more attractive to me.

I'd like to think that mods for The Witcher would be somewhat like those made for BG2 in the sense that they do a lot to extend the lifespan of a great game.
While Morrowind mods extend the game's lifespan by a significant amount, I also view them as necessary. I find that vanilla Morrowind is quite boring, I would not play it without mods. BG2 without mods, on the other hand, was still a damn fine game.
Of course, I am still waiting to play The Witcher, so where my personal reactions are concerned only time will tell.

| | Haven't heard much about mods so far. I'm the same as DW as well. I prefer playing a game that doesn't require mods to provide a better playing experience. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. comes to mind as a game that need mods to make it much better. Had to download some user-made graphics mod just to improve game performance.
