This is the thread where I posted a translation. First post has a link to the original. I didn't translate beyond the first section due to potential spoilers, but gameplay is discussed in the later sections.

What I really liked was Geralt's evasive jump. It seemed a lot better than what was shown in the swamps a while ago. But I am not sure if I am correct in this aspect. The animation just seemed smoother. I do want to note that the igni seems to be very crippling to that monster, making it like a pushover. However I do understand all fights were made easy for the sake of presentation. However if you burn a monster with igni for a long time, and afterwards you can hit them all you like because they are busy saying 'ow ow ow this hurts', you could take enemies down pretty fast which might be a bit out of balance. I can't tell for sure though as we have not seen how one would normally deal with the monster during a normal playthrough.
You're right about the jump. It's improved version appeared in the 12 min footage against the wraiths and ekhidnas, then against the wolves in the 3 minute footage, and now here, so it's consistent. And very much improved.
It's nice to spot all the small modifications they performed to the animations throughout the development. This one, the fists closing while jogging,t he sword being held steady, the different legwork when moving up or downhill which wasn't there at first. It's satisfying.
Another small but very immersing animation that was added, is Geralt adjusting right after getting on the horse.
And the skirt(kilt
is clipping through the horse, RED please add physics to a horse.re looting...
would be cool if the inhabitants of the cottage/house you loot got a bit pissed off and called you a robbing bastard......instead of sitting eating their porrige and letting you get on with it...hah

Because as far as I understood it, he doesn't drink them during combat. He drinks them before, while meditating and then just activates them during combat.
I absolutely LOVE what I have seen so far from TW3 gameplay. This game not only looks absolutely stunning, the actual game content looks very promising as well.
However....
Geralt's walk and run animations -
Is it just me, or does it look very awkward and stick-man like? Compared to the fantastic combat animations, the walk/run animations look like they were generated instead of mo-captured.
And what makes it worse, Geralt's animations don't seem to react to the terrain at all, not even his footstep sounds change depending on the surface, i.e. ground or snow or grass.
And I am going to compare it to the animations we see in Dragon Age: Inquisition. That is one thing they really got right in that game. My toon feels grounded in the terrain.
This is meant as constructive criticism, of course. I really think CD Projekt RED can do better.
Everything else however (gawking at the fabric physics) looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait for this game to be released!

I also dont like walking too much, and legs look a bit unnatural to me, in W2 walking and running looked better, as far as I am concerned.
I think they changed it again but im not sure. you can see the duration is also very short.
