Freya is in the Details (the small things you love about TW3)
Firstly I apologize if there is already a thread about acknowledging some of the small things that make The Witcher 3 great. I could have sworn there was already a thread on this but I searched and couldn't find it. Maybe I'm thinking of a thread in the Dragon Age: Inquisition forums shining a light on some often overlooked small but important touches that sets TW3 apart. Yes, it's not just this forum that is in awe of TW3.
In any case I'd like a place to put those sometimes overlooked yet important and brilliant small touches that catch our attention. Ok...I'll go first.
The fact that the Hornwall Horn is perfectly in tune (playing the root note) with all music in the game.
At some point the tired but dedicated developer / sound engineer who made that horn sound took the time to make sure it was in tune with the rest of the music in the game. She / he didn't have to...probably wasn't even instructed to. But they made sure that even this seemingly small detail was not overlooked.
I sometimes drink some ale and play this horn in time with whatever group of musicians is entertaining the tavern patrons. The fact that the time was taken to make sure that the horn was in tune with any and all music in the game makes me happier than it probably should. This attention to detail should be acknowledged and appreciated, for not many game developers will go to this length to ensure that even this tiniest of details will add to our experience.
Ok...your turn....
