    Interviews and Articles Part 2

    I don't think people have the luxury of color printers in the world of The Witcher.

    Regenerating Health?

    I think fast regen (even out of combat) takes away too much consequence. If the player can just stand still for a minute and wait for their healthbar to fill up I feel the world becomes too forgiving. Slow or non-existent health-regen forces the player to be more wary in combat. Instead of...

    The Witcher 3 Alchemy System

    I'm going to hazard a guess and say brushwood is used to make campfires for meditation. Based on the "3/3 Swallow" indicator on the bottom left, I'm going to hazard another guess and say that the system hasn't changed, the player receives a maximum of 3 Swallows each time the player uses up a...

    The Witcher 3 Alchemy System

    The difference between the pro-crossbow and anti-crossbow results isn't that big. 27% yes, 30% no, 40% don't care or want to limit the crossbow to non-combat roles. Meanwhile, only 10% are in favor of auto-refill potions, the rest are either unsure or against it.

    The Witcher 3 Alchemy System

    It worked in Dark Souls because the areas were all fairly linear and Estus Flasks could only be recharged at specific points in the game. Allowing the player to meditate anywhere, thus refilling their potions, is far cheaper than simply gathering a lot of ingredients (which takes time and...

    The Witcher 3 Alchemy System

    You create the potions once, after that those potions are always refilled for free when you meditate.

    The Witcher 3 Alchemy System

    I think a better alternative would be the ability to purchase or receive potions from herbalists or alchemists you meet in your travels. Take the herbalist woman from the E3 demo, for example. To thank you for your help you can visit her and share all your known recipes with her, and she'll sell...

    The Witcher 3 Alchemy System

    They could still use the old system (or a new system that doesn't involve infinite potions) without doing away with the hard-to-find ingredients. These rare ingredients could apply an extra effect on the potion, or for different potions required to more easily defeat a tough opponent (such as...

    The Witcher 3 Alchemy System

    Don't like this infinite potions idea. Would much rather see the system from The Witcher 1 make a comeback. To me, preparing potions and such is simply part of the Witcher experience. Having ingredients spread throughout the world would also add extra incentive to not use the fast-travel system...
