Lupus in fabula. Hope the developers take a look a this one

It all boils down to a simple truth: this is and industry of trends. The H&S/MMO itemization system proved time and time again to be successful, so people in the industry started to think that it has to be a good thing per se. Gosh, even experienced RPG developers like Larinas are...

No, I fear you missed Tuco's point (again). He's not just talking about reducing the amount of loot displayed in the game world. He's talking about reducing the amount of loot AND at the same time the loot required for crafting (or for other purposes). As for your aesthetic objection, it's...

I was about to state my sincere agreement with your post until it became... for lack of better words ... delusional. The way CdP handles loot and exploration (or quest design, for that matter) is far from perfect. There is no point in denying that. But - for Christ's sake !!!- compared with...

Actually, it wasn't the health regeneration per se that scared me, but the answer the developers gave to Pierpaolo Greco. They are considering what?

It's a complete different story this time. The Italian journalist described a significant rate of regeneration even during combat.

According to Multiplayer.it (http://multiplayer.it/articoli/119849-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-witcher-per-la-terza-volta.html)Geralt's health was regenerating during the demo (and that was completely unrelated to the use of potions). When the Italian journalist asked the developers about that...

Yeah, after the 3rd chapter I've lost any interest Fallout. FO: NV renewed my hope :D. I loved its quest design and its faction system, but, honestly, the way it handled exploration wasn't anything special. In Italy we say: "according to Statistics, if you have your arse in the oven and your...

Making RPGs IS definitely harder than making shooters. Organizing space/contents in RPGs ISN'T. CdP Red should look at Rockstar (instead of Bethesda) simply because the did a great job in this regard. So, when you come to judge something remotely related to the concept of Art you have to make...

The way designers use space to allocate contents is not easier nor harder in a shooter. It's basically the same shit. The only factor that comes in to play is the travel speed of the main character. So, due to a score based on a random number of votes, that not necessarily come from informed...

This is also my biggest concern, man, but, despite all this analogies, there are also important differences you need to consider: 1) Piranha Bytes moved to a "TES-like" model of open-world because of its former publisher's pressures. They never wanted it. 2) CdP Red is a WAY BIGGER team than...

Yeah, more or less />

To me in the first two games (especially in the second one) CdP artists did a great job to find a balance between historical accuracy and personal taste. Now clothes and gears look more "generic fantasy". It's not a big issue, but they are losing some point in "style".

Graphic crap aside, I have a plea for CdP Red. Ok, guys, you wanna set the 3rd Witcher game in an open environment? Fine, I'm a fan of open-world RPGs since Ultima IV. I'm totally into it. Keep the vistas, keep the diversity, keep the freedom of exploration but PLEASE: 1)DON'T copy the silly...

Nope. I'm playing on an old CTR (4:3) monitor cause my new LCD (16:9) monitor needs technical assistance.
