Is all buildings enterable?

Is all buildings enterable?

In the 35 min gameplay demo it is stated that there is no invisible walls and everything you can see can be explorered. But does this include the intertior of every building, house, tower, castle? Or are most of them just 'boxes' that have a door that is not able to be opened or locked? I have searched for an answer to this question but I am not able to find a satisfactory answer?

I mean in the 35 min gameplay demo in the begining we enter Norvigrad and I see endless buildings but can every single one of them be explorered/entered or just a few key ones - like the tavern with Dimitric?

I am that type of player that explorers every single corner og games like this and I can use hours on end entering every single building looking for loot and quests and I so hope this is possible in the witcher 3.

Yes it was mentioned in one of the interviews that almost all buildings are enter-able in Novigrad.

Exactly, here is one video interview that mentions it (it starts in German but the interview itself is in English):

Thank you both for the answers.

It sounds absolutely awesome that I can enter almost every building. My excitement rate for the game just went up to over 9000!!!!!!!!

I wonder if we can walk into people's homes and loot them without remorse like in Witcher 2

 

[Mefris]

Hm,almost all of them can be explored.I hope that if we enter someones home uninvited there will be repercusions because otherwise Novigrad will become Geralt's free source of money.That would be broken as fuck IMO.

Edit:

You cannot do that anymore, also confirmed long ago. NPCs won't let you rob them blind.

 

[Mefris]

^Yeah,I remember now that they mentioned something about that when they talked about Geralt not being able to murder everyone on the street.I think that's pretty reasonable.

 

[OliverDK]

Great that they finally make the inhabitants react to your random looting their stuff and orens. It bums up the realism and I am all for that.

............ In other words I now have to choose my moments to randsake every home in Norvigrad and all the predastrians will wonder who the clever theif is that empty their houses of valueables, while my Geralt throws away orens at the courtesans in the brothels h34r:

Hm,I hope they don't completly block off the option to steal from people's homes because if that's the case then it would be taking it to the other side of the extreme.Make it more difficult then just waltzing in and taking you full but don't make it impossible.After all,there's one thing that unites every rpg player regardless of age,background or taste and thats our love of stealing shine things h34r:

 

[Kinley]

I wouldn't mind if they cut out stealing altogether honestly. Geralt is a monster slayer, he doesn't make his living stealing things from people's houses.

 

[HellKnightX88]

Well, it's not like they're forcing you to steal. You can always just no do it. But as stated before great care must be taken with it because you risk through economical balance out the window.

Believe it or not during my last Skyrim playthrough my vampire paladin lady (gotta love them SkyRe aura buffs) didn't become a kleptomaniac (unlike basically every character I made in RPGs).

To be honest, the possibility to loot everything thats in your reach is only fun/impressive for the first hour of the gameplaye, after that it just becomes annoying when your picking everything except not the items that you like or want and you have to loose time to separate them from the garbage that was fun to collect for that first hour of the game(Skyrim is a perfect example here-first your impressed with that possibility, then you cant stand it), so i hope that this "looting system" will be limited only to the more important stuff.

You are a better man then I friend.I honestly can't play that game without stuffing my pockets full of stolen goods.Even if I have to crawl to the nearest fence to unload everything I'll still do it.

 

[OliverDK]

Well for me it's mostly just joking about stealing everything. That's not why do it. I just love to exploring every inch of a game like this and for the vast majority it is about looking for sidequests, experience the 'life' of the inhabitants and just plain curiuosity. I prefer to have the choice to explorer everything instead of like in some games most buildings, houses etc. are just empty boxes with locked doors.

The same goes for me.I'm very curios by nature and I play games mainly for the story so I don't feel good if I don't comb every inch of a games world for everything about it.So what if I take the occasional candlestick?Do you think adventuring is cheap?Pfhh *Rolls Eyes*

 

[OliverDK]

So not to start a new topic I ask it here - is Norvigrad the only large city in TW3? I know there's villages but are there other large cities and towns?

There's Oxenfurt, (possibly) Vizima.

 

[EliHarel]

Skellige will also probably have a big fortress.

 

[OliverDK]

It sounds fantastic with so many cities and places to explorer. Damm couldn't I just fall asleep tonight and first wake up the 24th of February 2015. Althis excitement is just far too much to handle
