I suspect the lack of animation melting and smooth transitions is to keep the combat extremely fast and responsive, sure, with these E3 stage AI made to be killed, you cant tell if it was a good idea, but when the game gets fast and hard, that responsiveness will be really amazing for combat.
Maybe they will get better later, and animations will melt more naturally, but between this TW3 footage of combat, and Assassins Creed's ultra fluid smooth combat which looks all like one animation but you can barely play it, I'll take TW3 any day.
Thats overall what I liked so much, it looks like it plays well, rather than being just perfect graphically.

She was a witch as she mentioned making a potion for the guy, or maybe even a down on her luck sorceress. Either way I don't think you will have to worry about a shortage of either good looking, or ugly women...
Give the journalists some "privilege", a cold beer and a beautiful looking game in pre-alpha, and you got good reviews.
Back in 2013 they knew it was pre-alpha, they accepted every flaw they saw. We're 8 months from release now...
Not a farmer girl, probably some kind of a witch.
Farmer girls don't brew potions for fever, they like to roll in the hay.
Not only hot but also cynical and "badass". She was just attacked by bandits alone in the woods and Geralt just killed them all in an instant in an extremely bloody way and then shows that attitude, saying theses lines? Well, of course, why not....
Yeah! What happened to that scenario from the books that is pretty much sapkowski's trademark?
Geralt saves the life of a damsel by brutally dismembering the bastards who were about to rape her, and when he tries to talk to her she cowers away crying and runs into her hut (where her parents lay dead), making us realize that this is fucking war and not some farytale
Exactly, this is why I don't know why people are complaining about, demanding 'realism' or something, this isn't a game set in 21st century where young hot girls are all in great cities, and only old fat crows are left in the villages
Even more, this is a FANTASY set in older times, so there are witcher, sorceresses etc that keep their hot looks even deep in the woods... C'mon people give cut them some slack, you will otherwise complain about ugly NPC's and lack of hot side chicks. And it was a 5 min demo, we didn't see the whole world!
Witches are not supposed to be hot, they can vary.
I think you mean sorceresses.
And there is a Witch Hunt at the time where TW3 took place. Probably, she is hiding.
A guy with a crossbow jumped out from behind a corner, screamed and shot at the sorceress. Geralt jumped like he was flipped by a spring and struck with his sword; the rebound arrow flew tightly above the shooter's head, so close that he ducked.
Geralt quickly covered Ciri. But the girl dashed forward as fast as lightning, she was already postured when the bowstring sprang. The yanked her sword up to an upper quart and chipped off the bolt with so much force that he spun over multiple times before itreached the ground.

The funny thing is, the transitions looked über smooth in the trailers. I guess that's what trailers are for.
Combat is looking very impressive does anybody know when the next presentation is beginning, and where it can be viewed at?
