When I first saw it, I was thinking "AWESOME!!!"
Then I came here, of course, to read other peoples reaction. Oddly enough you seem to dislike it. On a positive note though, it seems to be for lore reasons. So then I was like "hm mm".
But now that I've had a bit more time to think about it, I've come to the conclusion that I fucking love the dismemberment system that's been implemented in the game. I can imagine it would be conducive as fuck, to enter a fight, not get hit once and be able to slice every motherfucker apart. Like a boss. Visually, it looks spectacular. Don't even fucking lie about not liking it. Whether or not it's lore friendly is debatable but it looks fucking amazing. That's fact.
Personally, I can't wait to master the combat and fuck every bastard up in the most gruesome fucking ways. Because that's what war is. Fucking misery. The notion of Geralt being this ballet dancer of death and destruction yet never ever cutting any limbs off is so ludicrous and laughably implausible it's making me question the common sense of the good people of the Witcher forum. And last I checked, the Witcher games are going for the realistic, human, relatable tone.
In any case, I'm hoping that they don't scale it down but instead ramp it up. What I do hope however, is that dismemberment is a result of good play, rather than just putting a percentage, likelihood of you cutting off someones arm. Rather, I hope that while you're on your "hit-streak", each kill will end with a limb flying off. Thus encouraging people to master the combat and avoid getting hit or having your flow fucked up. Or something like that.
RED, I love you. Keep being awesome and believe in your own vision. Much love.
