I agree the wait for information on this game is far more stressful than any of the exams I've got at the moment!!
Any confirmation on the platforms the preview material will be showcased on? All 3 of them or just the consoles?
Questions from the comment section are pure gold. They kinda give you a glimpse into the future of the forum. Some highlights:
So. Much. Butthurt. Incoming.
Well all but the last are valid questions for people who don't follow the witcher as close as most on this forum. That is what you can expect because of reaching a broader audience, which is fine but these things can be expected.
The last 'question' is just a troll imho.

This was very insightful. Such an exhaustive and structured approach. Interesting to see how the ideas move up the chain of command and get rated repeatedly.
Oh my god if the final game really has that level of complexity to it then I will be spending hours in the game just following random NPCs round the world!!

Kill me. The worst of all is the Multiplayer questions, I fucking loathe how embedded multiplayer has become in AAA games to the point where people just expect it, even if your game is a fucking RPG, the most unlikely genre to have multiplayer. People should be utterly shocked and taken by surprise when an RPG actually does have Multiplayer.
Seems like a lot of stuff that you could already assume about the way games do quest design, especially RPG's. Although interesting non-the-less, especially for those who might not have thought about it before.
However what is really, really cool about that is how Phillip is working on minor quests, and it sounds like the amount of effort and complexity put into those quests is almost or just as high as other more important quests in the game. Gives me a lot of hope that the Quests in The Witcher 3 will be just as strong as 2, even if they have gone open world... Hopefully there's enough of those quests being made to actually fill the world.
Genres never were able to cope with the complexity and depth of games properly, and through time, as this lack of precision evolves together with games' scope, it's even worse.
The RPG genre today for what I see mostly seems to mean a bunch of "gamefication" elements applied to whatever game is there. That is leveling up, stats, clear rewards and penalization, minigames, audiovisual gratification for everything you do, fundamental goals of living power fantasies, etc, things that are considered "gamey" and are added to transform any activity or theme in something more like a game. Multiplayer has no problems or conflicts with that.
Also games have become extremely popular, and that audience has in turn made games more casual and entertainment oriented, more products with functions and less art, and in that context, multiplayer can easily be seen as a must have, an artifact that helps people connect with their friends or other people who they might not care much for otherwise fulfills a classic basic role in socializing.
For liking single player games and really not caring about or wanting multiplayer I'd say one really needs to love games at their core, and not just their superficial surrounding effects or potential to combine with the real world, I wonder how many of those people make up the gaming population these days...
this article is very encouraging. i always had on my back of my head the worry that the game would have too many boring quests like skyrim and inquisition . but if they are taking so much time to review minor quests. then maybe i wont have to worry so much.
