Was The Witcher Inspired by an AD&D Campaign?

WotC New WotC Game Studio Headed By Bioware's James Ohlen

Ex-Bioware designer James Ohlen is in the news a lot right now! He’s behind the Odyssey of the Dragonlords Kickstarter, the new Heroes of Baldur’s Gate hardcover, and is now also heading up a studio for WotC! OH MY G- It’s not a D&D project though. It’s original IP of some kind. *closes tab*

Once again instead of making a really good CRPG based on 5th edition, they do a gimmicky game trying to cash in on a fad for a quick buck. Meanwhile Pathfinder: Kingmaker seems really awesome, aka the model for gaming that WotC should have been looking at.
