Hardcore mode please ( and overall increased difficulty)
No need to say, you guys have created a masterpiece. As a Polish I'm so proud of what you've achieved.
Hovewer, there is one thing that is big issue to me. Leveling is way too fast, and there is no way to stop Geralt from becoming a God, after spending some time in the game. I have started playing it at hardest difficulty, and while it was somehow challenging at the beginning, it becomes incredible easy, at some point. I'm not even going for certain builds, which would make it even less challenging. I was doing all side quests or contracts I've came across, and found out, that I was way above recommended level for main story quests. Here is few ideas that would improve gameplay imho (not sure, if they are possible to apply, but hey, this is suggestions subforum).
1. Enemy level should be ALWAYS at minimum same level as you or higher. You are killing pack of wolves or drowners at lv 5 with single fart, when you are lvl 15+. This way even if you are way above given quest level, you are always paying attention to details, using oils, potions, preparing to fight as Witcher should.
2. Let us drop experience, if we feel overpowered (some sort of pills or potion).
3. Make some changes to experience points gained from quests ( in short, let them give much less exp upon completion).
4. Tweak some abilities, so you would not be a one man army after a while ( becoming more efficient is nice and desired, but being
as mentioned above is not).
5. Hardcore mode please (I've read a bit about it, and I know you will deliver it sooner or later - hopefully sooner). Any ETA on this one, and will it be available on consoles as well?
If No. 1 is possible to do, then there is no need for 2, 3 and 4.
I'm talking about changes to Ps4 version and X1, as one of the biggest advantage of Pc (along the obvious graphic enhancement) is the modding community. Poor console gamers are left at developers mercy.
I hope I am not alone in need for some better challenge. And I'm damn sure, you guys at CD PR are able to make it even as hard, as Dark Soul series. Playing Witcher 3 at Hardcore at DS difficulty - can't imagine how epic it would feel.
