We also had whetstones in the previous games, to sharpen the tools of the trade, so I expect they'll make a return as well.
I believe one of the Red suggested that whetstones would be used to improve weapon durability without having to go back to town.
If you're referring to the PAX gameplay, according to the stream they set it on easy because they had a 10-minute time limit, but they wanted to show off the whole quest. Even after setting it on super-easy, they still had to cut out a substantial amount of the gameplay recorded (if you look at the in-game clock, it appears an entire day passed between leaving the village on horseback and arriving at the wagon crime-scene). If they had left the difficulty on normal, they would probably have had to cut out even more

Its prerecorded footage so I dont buy that as a proper excuse. They cut out the parts where Geralt is traveling. They didnt use up the whole 10minutes anyway. I just think constantly showing off the game on easy does a huge disservice to the combat.
Maybe so the person recording it doesn't have to spend hours on recording and editing just to end up with 7 minutes of gameplay? Especially when the video is not about combat & difficulty but to show the game in general.
I cant imagine it would have taken hours to complete that one very straight forward quest under normal circumstances. Anything in the video is informing the audience, so it doesnt matter that the video is not focused on combat. The use of combat, witcher senses, voice acting, graphics, music, ect... The video will create impressions of all these things, whether its the focus or not.
Go into a dark room, where you still see some light and objects and light a match.... you will see nothing but the places the matchlight shines.... other places will go darker than before because your eyes adjust to the matchlight....... Physics say you are wrong!
OK. Don´t you think that it's still too much light in the cave? In W1 we couldn't go to a cave/crypt without a torch or Cat.
The devs said that there would be unlimited potions, bombs and oils.
Considering where the mouth of the cave is + Geralt being a Witcher, I dont think thats too much light at all.
@Shmelekrabe
It might be the cave opening that goes into the area that Geralt fights the Wyvern. The arrow on the map (God I hope we can turn those off) shows that direction, and if you remember he climbs up to an opening before fighting the Wyvern. It might be the light coming from that area.

I cant go the witcher 3 forum, yes to another forums like new or general disscussion but I cant the witcher 3 forum. WHY?? I know its oftopic .
Thank you
Thank you
Umm... you're in the Witcher 3 forum. Which forum did you mean?
I have the same problem. The page where it shows all the threads for Witcher 3 is offline, every time I try to access it I just see a picture of Vernon pointing and saying he'll fix it. But for some reason I can access the individual threads, really weird. The page where they show all the witcher forums for everything else is accessible though.
Hit ctrl-F5 (or whatever the hard-refresh keys are for your browser) whenever you get the offline page.
Chris can we expect new media content soon? And what style the new diaries will have? Like in the Beginning dev. diary or that beautifull cartoon/comic style trailer? Will it be more about the game mechanic or continuation of that trailer with witcher lore?
Well... define "soon".
There is more new media coming. It isn't like PAX East was the last bit we'd say or show until the game appears on store shelves. However, I'm not going to give hints at when things will appear. In my experience if I was to say (and this is made up) new video coming on the X day, fans would get super excited, something would happen at some level that delays the video a day or two, fans riot, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
There is more to come, but you'll have to be patient till it shows up.
