The Witcher - Preview & Media @ GamesRadar

GamesRadar has posted a pre-release look at CDProjeckt's soon to be released RPG, The Witcher. The preview summarizes a lot of the material that we've heard before, focusing on the choices and consequences aspect:

All this knowledge is gleaned in retrospect, nearly ten hours after your seemingly innocuous choice on the riverbank. Whether or not you made the right or wrong move earlier is besides the point. By shrouding the consequences of each decision you'll make over the course of the game, and creating an elaborate web of actions and reactions, CD Projekt hopes to bypass the tendency to "test the designer's vision" and have you playing that role, steering yourself to one of the game's multiple endings.

There's also a hands on description of the chaining of combination moves in combat:

When we got our hands on The Witcher to feel out its combat system, we found a rather unique play mechanic hiding beneath its third-person hack 'n slash skin. It's all about timing. After you left-click to start your first attack, you'll need to watch Geralt's swing animations carefully and feel the flow of his moves. If you follow up your first strike with a well-timed click, you'll create a chain combo which - if kept up long enough - can result in some crazy kills and brutal blows.

It takes a bit of getting used to, and we found ourselves flailing wildly before we got the hang of it. But once we did, Geralt was soon slicing his way through demon dogs, mercenaries, and monsters like butter. In one instance, we saw him toss his blade into the air. Grabbing on to the sword's tip, Geralt proceeded to swing his backwards blade like a heavy axe, piercing an enemy's throat with the hilt.

 There's also a media page here, with some new screenshots and the previously covered ten minute quest trailer that's going the rounds.
