I'm sure a D&D game will go over great in the Witcher engine.
No wait, no it won't. Not at all.

Yeah, I agree with you there. The excellent backdrops for the IWD games were one of the reasons it didn't get dull wading through hoards of monsters.
I'm thinking purely from a gameplay standpoint, however. Compared to Baldur's Gate (which is being remade by some guys in the NWN2 engine), it'd be pretty straightforward. What you'd have to make up in modeling, you'd save in coding complicated dialogue encounters and triggers. You sort of just charge ahead and kill shit.
Also, I wasn't particularly impressed with The Witcher. I had a chance to play it and fell asleep before I beat the first castle place because the combat is easymode. Don't tell me it gets more difficult later on because it doesn't matter. A game of that length that's combat doesn't grab me right away tends to never get played because I just don't give a fuck about timing clicking A SINGLE BUTTON for 80 hours.
Dimmukane:
I still find it hard to believe that it's supposed to be 80 hours. I didn't finish it, granted, but I finished the first two of five chapters in about 15 hours. Looking at the walkthroughs, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of quests for the other three...whatever.

Two things.
1. NWN2 didn't actually use D&D either, just a fucked up version of it.
2. The Witcher engine is the Aurora engine - which NWN1 was made in, which is the only real D&D game out of the three. So I'm guessing D&D does go down pretty well in the Aurora engine.
KvP:
Oh yeah, Aurora. NWN1. One could never ask for a better rendering of D&D mechanics.
