From what I've read in PC Gamer the game is based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski (a polish author whose books have never been translated), so the story is suppose to be rich and complex. The battles will be fast and direct (no turnbased crap
). The game will deal with good and evil and how there is no distinct separation between the two.
In one sequence shown at E3 the hero fights a vicious monster. When the monster is laying at the ground defeated it will start to prey for its life saying that it's really a normal human being that has been transformed by black magic. If you choose not to kill him then you will make enemies with your employer but you can help the monster to regain his human form. But the monster isn't necessarily speaking the thruth. Your choices will reflect how different people will see you and the game will have three different endings. The story is suppose to present harsh subjects like racism among others.
