Full report from the amazing live-action event that launched The Witcher 2 (plus: you can win a copy of the ultra-rare Dark Edition)
We’ll let you in on a little secret, often press events aren’t as exciting as you think they would be. We’ve been on many a set visit where we’ve seen little more than the inside of a mucky white room only to have minor celebrities wheeled out in front of us at random intervals.
Last week, however, we went to an event for The Witcher 2: Assassins Of Kings Enhanced Edition where we participated in our own live action Role Playing Game! After downing mead and rustic bread in a suitably medieval pub we were separated into teams of fours and began our quest. Our first stop: an audience with the King! Unfortunately it all went downhill pretty quickly when the King ended up poisoned and lifeless on the table.
