The Witcher 2 - Interview @ Bit-gamer

Bit-gamer has a short-ish interview with Tomek Gop about The Witcher 2.  Here's the current status:

BG: How has the game progressed in the last few months, and what have you been adding in to the title?

Tomek: We’ve pretty much just been wrapping things up. We’re nearing beta now and the game is finally shaping up, so at the moment it’s not about this or that feature – it’s all of them. You can already walk through all of the game, taking any sidequests that you wish. We’re at the final stage of optimisations, balancing and trying to gauge the number of gameplay hours in The Witcher 2. That’s the question that everyone’s been asking us.
