I went for hunting only, but my vote is really hunting and specific quests only. If there're particular scenarios where a crossbow would help, fine, but not as an option in all combat.
Crossbow will be good in hunting and attacking flying monsters you cant reach by normal methods. For me its yes.
Very true, I forgot that there might be several kinds of flying monsters now.
Geralt seems to be doing ok with his sword alone:
That is with a flying monster/beast that chooses to go in for the kill. If there would be a monster that uses ranged attacks from the sky than those swords are completely useless.
I'll hold my judgment until I know more as well, but for now it's a strong nay. I think it was unnecessary and that it could add very little to the game.
You're right, I've always wanted to fight an imperial manticore since I've seen it in that flashback in The Witcher 2...
...And kill it with a crossbow.
I went with the same option. Just please, for the love of Tzeentch almighty, don't give Geralt rope bolts and sleep bolts.
I know but the comment still stands, among all monsters there are probably several with ranged attacks and one of those might fly.
In my opinion I don´t care but if I would develop Witcher 3 then adding crosbow for Witcher would be the last thing I would think about. There is no necessary need for this.
EDIT: Now I saw that screenshot with crossbow...that feels kinda awkward.

Your words made me remember the Beginning of TW1, in the Labaratory of Kaer Morhen, where the Professor kills Leo and runs into the teleport.
There Geralt threw his sword....
Maybe we'll be able to throw them now too? (joking) ;-)
Hmm... there is another thing that came to mind. Up until now we've had 'scripted' encounters like we know in which area what we'll find.
Endregas, Nekkers in the flotsam forest.
Drowners in certain lakes and rivers.
Arachas in certain caves.
Wraiths in places that will scare you even from a distance.
But this time we'll be in a big world and know nothing, it's a big big world. I think the crossbow could be useful for certain encounters.

I can only imagine the sheer shock when a dragon or worse would come down from the sky as a complete suprise.
If it can be useful in fights with Griffons, harpees, or ..... A certain Dragon .... I can't see why not implement it as long as it stays limited in use, Geralt is no crossbow master and should not be so.
(and yes, I voted for the first option)
