Good lord there is so much crying on the internet these days! You play as a Witcher! Don't you know they can see in the dark? Of course they won't see night as we do. And by the way, who stayed out in a forest without any light source for more than 45 minutes? Make the test, you be impressed with how good you can actually see in the dark.
Nice, combat looks improved, I'm just worried if to toggle characters will be ok, because some games are a real mess to choose the right character, the hardest thing in combat is balance fluidity with control (with two meanings:toggle characters and autonomy to control the character, not the case of assassin's creed for example) and I hope they did well
Well this worries are about combat
Because, for example,the hair still didn't got wet

Isn't it still an old build? I think Only difficulty was increased, everything else stayed the same
Is this from an article or just your idea? Metal Gear Solid 3 does this in the cave section. You can see this happening a bit when geralt exits the tavern too. Short video of it here- Dynamic Pupil Contraction -
Effect that simulates in real time the contraction of Geralt's pupils, that is the amount of light that enters his eyes.
Ex:
When Geralt is in a bright room then he leaves to a dark area you would at first see everything very very dark, like we see it, and then gradually the dark becomes brighter.
Ex:
When you are in a dark forest and light a bonfire, while Geralt is looking at the fire the forest around him should be very dark, because his pupil would be very thin, then when he turns his back to the fire he starts gradually seeing the night brighter.
I believe that this effect happening dynamically and smoothly, will be able to delivery both, the feeling that you are in a very dark and dangerous place, and the feeling that you are a badass witcher.
We shouldn't also forget that full Moon nights are very bright.

In one of the books, Geralt kills a mouse by throwing a knife at it in the dark, without being under the effect of any potion. The guy sees in the dark period.
Now, I also understand that a dark night really gives you a nice feeling of danger.
Unfortunately, we can't have both, for it wouldn't make sense.
OR, maybe we can!
In order to display the darkness of the night, and still maintain witchers witchers, the developers could use something I call...

Ex: When Geralt is in a dark forest and lights a bonfire, while he is looking at the fire the forest around him should be very dark, because his pupil would be very thin, then when he turns his back to the fire he starts slowly and gradually seeing the night brighter.
Ex: When Geralt uses Igni sign in the dark, he should see slightly quickly darker, because a light source interfered with his pupil's state.

I know this effect is present already, but what I propose here is enhancing it by adding it at some other occasions and adjusting its time and intensity.

I really hope they do something about the opening door animation.Is this from an article or just your idea? Metal Gear Solid 3 does this in the cave section. You can see this happening a bit when geralt exits the tavern too. Short video of it here

I don't really find that piece of music irritating, I like it. But I usually like music with some beautiful vocals in them.
Glad to see Geralt still stabs at the monsters weak points, instead of being a brute all the time.
