I know what you mean, dont get me wrong. And I never said that he beheaded or dismembered every enemy he met. All I wanted to say is what Sagitarii and C0bR said, that Geralt was a nasty fighter. Witcher 1 had gore and dismemberment, and it was very well implented, but Witcher 2 was a step back, so Im glad they brought it back in W3.

It seems that after each new gameplay video only people that never played the previous games start to post:
- why are choices highlighted -
- why does Geralt redirect arrows -
- why is there gore and dismemberment -
- where is Geralts farm -
- this looks exactly like TW2 with a little upgrade -
etc etc

I'm also glad they brought some gore to the mixture, but enough is enough, for 6 enemies he killed, 5 were decapitated (1 got killed by aard so it shouldn't even count), it's over the top, forced, and I don't appreciate it done this way.
Despite your obvious issues with reading and understanding (where did I say gore is bad?), I resent the implication, I probably already read the books and played the first game before you even heard the word "witcher" so please, just because I have low post count, it doesn't mean I'm some random dude that didn't play previous games, and as a matter of fact I own TW1 and TW2 Collectors Edition.

Lot's of assumptions directed towards the OP's perception of the world. Quite unfair I might add, since he knows about Blaviken. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, no need to bash him about it.
There is a little bit too much gore they should tone it down. I like seeing the occasional decapitation here and there though.
There should be potions like Rook that increase Geralt's strength as well as the rate of decapitations so you really feel like a fucking badass and see the difference of preperation.
I would have less decapitations without potions, and taking rook while make you decipatite like the current state of the combat

With monsters I dont see it as a problem, with humans... yeah. If it happens everytime you kill someone then it needs to be toned down, but I dont think it will be like that.
Now there's nothing realistic or believable in the combat in the TW...or in any combat system actually.
For instance can we cut the griffin's wings so to ground it? I doubt it but that would be believable and realistic.
Can we cut enemies' arms to force them to flee? I doubt it.
Can Geralt be killed by a signal strike? Nope! He can be hit sever times and yet he still will fight as if nothing had happened, which is not realistic and believable.

I dont care about what he knows about the books. Just as I dont care about his post count or join date compared to mine.
It says nothing. But his posts speaks volumes.
We are talking about his perception that suddenly dismemberment is sthg new and shocking in the Witcher games while it has been around since day1.
That is an indication for me that he has not "really" played the game

To be fair, he said that dismemberment, in his opinion, should be rare. That is all he said, I don't get why you guys have to quarrel about it.
Edit: Love is in the air, TW3 only 8 months away. Well plus some change.
It's extrapolation from a short gameplay snippet, but I think yours is a balanced point of view.
If every single kill, even if just most kills, involve dismemberment, than it will soon have lost any impact. Make dismemberment the exception, not the rule. Perhaps have it happen only to particularly tough unarmoured enemies.
It won't happen, but maybe those different body parts could be put to use, for having different alchemical properties from each other.
I think it's perfect.
There seems to be frequent 'lesser dismemberment' (heads off, arms off, etc) during regular fighting and 'heavy dismemberment' (diagonal torso slicing) when the enemy is stunned by Aard or otherwise impaired.

I'm seeing some signs of frazzled forumites from all of the excitement of the last few days. A few deep breaths before posting will help considerably. Please keep it polite, everyone.
(And, on topic, I remember an awful lot of heads rolling around in TW1)

Not a huge deal for me, but I do hope it's kept to a minimum. I can understand it happening more often with a certain type of monsters. For instance, maybe drowners have rusty bones that makes them easier to cleave.
I would not be that thrilled if Geralt can just cut humans in half all the time (cutting off hands or arms is another matter).

the game showing dismemberment is more realistic anyway, and this obviously not a children game
There seemed to be quite a few people asking for dismemberment, and more gore, a couple of months ago...
