The journalist said that he killed all beasts/monsters in an area and they didn't respawn after two or three days, iirc. This doesn't mean that the same or other creatures don't (re)spawn eventually.
The enemies probably do respawn but slowly, trying to simulate repopulation, or only respawn if the right conditions are met (dead bodies make new ghouls enter the world)
did they mention anything else concerning the gamplay mechanics ? especially the alchemy system.
because according to a post made by BlackWolf500.298 posted in the " the witcher 3 alchemy system", which pretty much sums up everything we know so far:
any additional informations or articles would be most helpful ^^

It all sounds fantastic!! The skill menu looks alright, but I really liked how the previous games had unique and kind of exotic looking menus. This one seems like a cross between shadows of mordor and DAI... Perfectly functional, but a little lacking in character. Oh well, pretty small quibble. Overall shaping up to be awesome!
I will do my best. This my personal understanding so it may not be completely true.
We know for a fact The Witcher 3 features a dynamic eco-system. What this means is that the population of creatures in regions is dynamic and can be effected by different things. For example, the developers have said if you kill bandits and leave their corpses lying around more corpse eating monsters (like Ghouls and Nekkers) will begin to appear. They've also said if you kill a lot of dear in a region the wolf population will also dwindle because they will migrate to other regions to find food. Presumably, if you complete quests that improve the economy in a region more bandit enemies will begin to appear. And in regions with a poor economy fewer bandits will appear than in regions with a wealthy economy.
So I expect what the developer said (that enemies don't respawn) is somehow compensated for by the dynamic eco-system in the game.
Hmm it's awesome to hear all of those news, hype train is definitely leaving the station!
I am also happy to hear that they are stunned by the Ultra graphics, I do wonder though if they could compare it to the VGX/SoD trailers and say how much of a difference is it and if there is, if Ubersampling is what will be able to probably make them equal?

i was going to play it on tne xbox one, but now i will play on my pc. the beard grow fucking awesome
Well the major difference on Ultra is the vegetation and lighting, whereas the latter depends on the location as some areas look really great and some have no real difference on lower settings (i.e. ultra to high)
I was disappointed by the layout of the skill tree. It's not visually interesting at all. Here is a short description for those who haven't seen it.
Basically it's just a small 4 x 5 grid (almost like an inventory system) with white symbols representing each skill and number next to each skill representing how many times it's been upgraded. There are 5 tabs at the top: one for each skill tree plus the mutagen tree.
In the center of the screen there are four rows of three boxes where you equip your skills. And next to each row of boxes there is a large diamond where you equip your mutagens that augments those three skills.
Overall it's very simplistic. There is a lot of empty space on the screen that's wasted. I expected a tree that was at least somewhat stylized. Even The Witcher 2's tree was more stylized IMO.
EDIT: In reality though I'm probably overreacting and the skill tree is still a work in progress. I'm sure there is a reason why they haven't shown it off to the general public yet, and it's probably to avoid fan reactions like the one I had.

I still think the auto refill is a really good idea, besides the devs know best since they have been playing it these past 4 years. I think if it sucked they would scrap it guys.
On the other hand, I still think the black screen in the menu system kinda sucks. It's just boring like Skyrim,ME SoM and DAI. I don't mind the grid system and it's nice to have a 3D model of Geralt, but the color of it was way cooler in the old 35 min demo. I'll get over it, I'm sure this game will be super, awesome fun to play for years to come

Well you say there is a lot of space wasted, but I think that we haven't seen much of it. For instance - maybe when you have a mouse cursor over it displays a description, some stats etc? Maybe you can compare different skills? I would guess so. What I mean, it is useless to judge whether it is good or not, because it will be clear only when we start to use it. The design is a different story of course.
As for it being a work in progress, I wouldn't count on it. No time for placeholders at this point.
It would be pretty amazing if enemies respawn or not depends on the foe itself or the location.
IE it would make sense for common monsters in the swamp or forests to respawn after a while, but not when taking out a specific rare monster boss or perhaps a bandit hideout where it would make much less sense if they're there again a day or two later.

The bandit hideout could be overrun with creatures instead, after a while.
Then again i don't want to run out of humans to slice into pieces.
S...! Anita Sarkeesian already had a go at TW but with dics shipping with the game she will go absolutely kamikaze at TW3! :excl::rant:
And I wonder how many dics 200 developers can make in a day? :blink:
Yes but in PDF from here https://www.idgshop.de/GameStar-XL-04-2015.htm?websale8=idg&pi=1-5556&ci=140-5298
It cost 3.99 euros but be careful to pick it and not the paper magazine unless that is what you want of course
