The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Preview

Should you be looking for some more impressions of CD Projekt's hands-off E3 demonstration of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, you'll find them at Gaming Nexus.
Speaking of combat for those who play RPG's for just the story, CD Projekt has tweaked the easy mode of the game so that you can experience just the story of the game without having to worry too much about the combat. That seems a lot like reading Playboy for the articles but it's nice to see CD Projekt serving that part of their user base.

Conversations are a huge part of RPG's and the one in The Witcher 2 will feature the standard trees along with certain timed responses that must be answered before a timer expires. This seems like a nice evolution of the system in Mass Effect 2 and does seem to amp up the drama in the game.
