20% is subjective- As stated above things change or don't work out. What i'm more interested in knowing is how much core content was cut that were apart of the original vision and key features; revealed or other wise.

according to imdb an actor named Steven hartley will be voicing eredin.

Hmm, I have to say, his voice is perfect for Eredin.

AFAIK Boat racing and VATS system was cut.

With this kind of voice tone & timbre, there's no need for CDPR to alter his voice by additional effects like they do now. He's perfect for this role IMO.

 

[MkTama]

Very cool. His voice is rough (which is good for the character) but maybe a bit "dry". Some effects are always necessary and used, even a little bit of reverb can do miracles.. The only risk lies in overusing them

Great news, been itching for some cast reveals

I was actually surprised how his natural voice - without any effects - is suitable for Eredin without any alterations. I guess sounding "otherwordly" with your natural tone is no small feat

 

[Vigilance.492]

Has Steven been voicing Eredin this entire time? Even since the VGX Trailer?

He does have a wonderful natural voice, and I do think that if it is indeed Eredin talking during the Elder Blood Trailer, they're definitely going way too far with the depth & post-effects. I'm still personally a fan of the VGX version, but really all he needs on his natural voice is a small effect to give him a kind of "otherwordly" feel, but certainly not to the extent we heard recently.

Sad, sad news, those are. Thank you for sharing, though, Scryar.

Eh 20% is pretty standard in regards to development, especially on a game this large. Actually it's pretty standard in at least most forms of entertainment, look at any Peter Jackson movie, there's always at least 20 minutes of extra footage for his extended editions, and that's still probably not everything he could have put back in.

(Frankly I think Geralt "infiltrating" the Wild Hunt sounds utterly ridiculous, he's not Altair, glad that one was cut)

There is another cool information on this site. Robert Stoneman, ex- Crytek's lead Cinematic designer is working on W3. He worked on Ryse and Homefront 2. Ryse cinematics are awesome!

Good find. He even mentions The Witcher 3 on his website

I am currently a Virtual Cinematographer working on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - CD Projekt Red

Role: Senior Cinematic Artist

Implementing virtual cinematography & lighting into final cutscenes/trailers. Using motion builder for cameras & motion capture clean up.

 

[BlackWolf500.298]

Of course there is no game without bugs. That's the whole point of my post. Actually, in that regard, there was no difference between CDPR and other companies in the past. And W2 had indeed game breaking bugs, some of them aren't even fixed until today (QTE with Kayran, crash at the beginning of Flotsam,...). But yeah, CDPR solved most of these issues with updates and the Enhanced Editions. But other companies did the same so it's not quite right to call CDPR "unique" in that regard imo.

Never had those bugs.

1. The QTE with the Kayran can be turned off now in the settings
2. Never had a crash upon entering Flotsam
