Agreed and something like this would had been nice to have been implemented officially.
I also remember seeing an area challenge mod in the works but I'm not sure what happened to it.

please next time give a little warning for spoilers to be presented in the thread. For example, i didn't know.Regis Returns
Actually, the series went in a wrong direction much earlier, starting with TW2.
In terms of the story itself it definitely was a huge stepup from TW1, which was more on fanfiction level than a standalone. But in a lot of other aspects it had much less identity than TW1 and felt like a normal action game. I mean it focused much less on the discovery by the player, but most explanations were given to you by the NPCs where to go next so that you never felt much motivation on your own. This was especially ridiculous as it featured a detective mainquest, where you should feel like it's you who has to figure out things. Together with the less open hubs and the lesser focus on some good old witchering, it didn't feel that much like I was actually playing a witcher game, but instead a typical action CYOA game, where the developers pride themselves in their own story and characters like almost all Bioware games, except that it had a story of value.That's when the game series found itself, establishing a powerful narrative separate from the books and creating new characters and themes. They should have followed up on TW2 instead of destroying all of it for the sake of Darth Eredin and Super Ciri.

Reading this stuff is hilarious. No wonder the devs are just like, "Fuck it. We'll do what we want to do." Fans are always telling them completely contradictory things.

So now the problem is TW2 for how bad the white frost/Eredin/Ciri/politics/last act are and not CDPR?
Yeah, totally makes sense.
Of course not, what I said is that the main plot of TW3 didn't come from nowhere, it was already heavily foreshadowed by the ending of its predecessor. CDPR didn't abandon anything, they continued with what was left unresolved.
The problems with the White Frost, Eredin, politics are not because CDPR decided to blindly follow the books.
Could you please point me where in this thread it was said the opposite?
I guess it's all those trashy books that made Eredin the primary antagonist who wants to capture Ciri through kidnaping Yennefer and later Geralt. Not TW2.
Also, it's the books that introuced Geralt's recovery from amnesia and his desire to search for Yennefer. Not TW2.
Likewise, disintegration of the Lodge of Sorceresses and the 3rd Nilfgaardian invasion happened at the end of books. Not TW2.
Damn those poisonous books that forced CDPR to abandon their original plans for TW2 sequel and instead make this game that follows the story of Lady of the Lake. Not TW2. :laughing:
All I've said is when CDPR tried to do Sapkowski's work for him, that's their weakest writing. It's clear when they distanced themselves from the books their characters and plots were stronger. Expansions included. A lot of TW2 fans - most of which are gone now - didn't even want Ciri to be central to the narrative. But we all know that such a character, even if she's bland, has wide spread appeal.
