My few requests for Witcher 3

My few requests for Witcher 3

Greetings.
I just finished the W2, and while the impressions are fresh I would like to make just a few requests for next game. I'm not a Sapkowski fan, so I dont know if any of these are out of lore.

1. Most important - if we will stay in the North, contrary to Letho's Epilogue suggestion, I would like to throw my support behind Sorcerer Lodge. I really disliked two Geralts' options in dungeon dialogue with Triss - pro-royal one and sceptical one. Country ruled by hot chicks, with illusionist architecture and obligatory mage schools, with a dose of Saskia-style egalitarianism is just the thing I dream of in this game. If I can rule it together with Triss - the better
2. Not less than 5 full chapters, with one of them being a crossroad like W2's chapter 2. Amount of content was somewhat disappointing in W2 compared to W1. Characters are more interesting though, I do hope that whoever designed Iorveth will work on next installment.
3. Better stealth system. Invisibility potions, very costly to make maybe, but still should be there.
4. Return of sex cards.
5. 64-bit exe.

Thanks for attention

Just curious, what are you expecting this to do that will enhance the game? Memory usage isn't currently a limiting factor, is it?

And what do you see as the advantage of "Return of Sex Cards"? Does this mean you want a return to censorship, or to be able to get some kind of achievement based on the number of women Geralt has sex with?

I agree. Sex cards=censored (even the 'director's cut' didn't do a big deal, just 'uncensored cards' thats all'
if you mean you want them in the journal next to respective woman's journal entry, then thats ok otherwise extremely pathetic idea

I want threesomes.

 

[Aditya]

I want threesomes.

did you forget the foursome (five?) in the brothel of the queen of the night in TW1?

 

[falcron]

Maybe Geralt can persuade Yennifer and Triss to join him in bed together?

More options about who to side with would always be welcome, but of course, it adds to the complexity of the game and how many possibilities needs to be catered for. The question is, do we want a shorter game with more options or a longer game with less (possibly only two) options?

Although if TW3 will be the last game, there's obviously more room for choosing sides, especially towards the end of the game. We could leave the north as wildly different places depending on our decisions.

I think this is unlikely though, because even if TW3 is the last planned game, the devs wouldn't want to shoot themselves in the foot and make it almost impossible to make a continuation.

2. Not less than 5 full chapters, with one of them being a crossroad like W2's chapter 2. Amount of content was somewhat disappointing in W2 compared to W1. Characters are more interesting though, I do hope that whoever designed Iorveth will work on next installment.

More chapters doesn't really mean more content.
But a general increase in length would be welcome.

3. Better stealth system. Invisibility potions, very costly to make maybe, but still should be there.

The issue with more combat-style systems is, they are potentially costly to design, make and balance. How much use is there going to be?
Geralt is a very jump in with a sword kind of guy... from what we've seen

4. Return of sex cards.

I think the request for sex cards is about having more options of people to have sex with.
TW1 gave us heaps of possibilities, and sex cards which would not have taken them long to design
TW2 gave us only 4 sex scene possilibities, but full sex scenes which would have been a lot more costly to make. The question is really, more options but each option is less impressive (TW1) or less options but each option is more impressive (TW2).
A good comprimise would be a few main / significant sex scenes to be rendered like TW2, but a return of TW1 style sex cards for other women. So you get the best of both worlds, so to speak.

5. 64-bit exe.

I think you are mis understanding what a 64 bit edition will do.
The reason some software need 64 bit editions, is that they make use of memory above 4GB.
So if the program can potentially use more than 4GB of ram, then a 64bit edition is useful. (And of course, 64bit editions of software for compatibility reasons to other 64 bit software).

Games very rarely will need anything close to 4GB of ram, let alone more than that. You can imagine computer RAM as table space (how many things it can do at once. Or how much crap you can have laid out on your table at once). Where as processing power is how quickly it can do things (or how fast you can churn through work). With games, the bottle neck is about processing power (it takes a LOT of calculations, to render many high quality pictures per second), and not memory. Memory is useful if you are one of those crazy people who keep multiple browser windows open with hundreds of tabs in each one.

Computers with more RAM mostly benefit usability. I can start The Witcher, while keep 100+ browser tabs open and quite a few other programs running in the background. If I had less ram, I would need to close some of those programs first.

LOL. You guys are letting your imaginations run away with you (although it did just give me some interesting ideas involving Iorveth and Roche.... but that's for another thread.)

It was actually, pretty much, a genuine question. The OP has clearly thought through what he would like to see in the game, but I don't get the whole sex card thing. I've seen a few posts in different places waxing nostalgic about them, and I really would like to know why.

Crosspost:
@saintmagician - OK, if that is the explanation. Suggesting "more sex" is a understandable request.

Changing the subject to food and drink.None of it in tw2. Gerald could no longer order drinks after a hard monster
slaying from the Pub[which boldly advertises a giant keg] Only food labled as junk which cannot be eaten anyway.What was he supposed to do with it? I liked the way Gerald ate those giant sandwiches and legs of chicken , replenishing some health in tw1.There was nothing to buy to drink in the whole of Vergen either.Zoltan and Dadelion drank away. Gerald could just look on .Why the change? What must he drink, the locals pis in the waterstreams anyway.One soldier outside the Temerian camp seemed to pis for ten minutes non stop.

He'll have to use a extremely good axii sign if he wants that to happen

 

[yuikami]

did you forget the foursome (five?) in the brothel of the queen of the night in TW1?

+1 I would love that in the new game too

 

[Aditya]

+1 I would love that in the new game too

haha yeah

and as for 'our request' how is the next papercraft coming along?
which one is it this time?

I want threesomes.

Great idea, a threesome with Geralt, Iorveth and the succubus.

 

[Garrison72]

I was thinking Sile, Triss, and Geralt...

 

[yuikami]

edit: ops, looks like DelightfulMcCoy beat me to it. "Interesting" wasn't quite the word I had in mind but I suppose it'll do.

 

[DelighfulMcCoy]

.....umm... I hope you didn't intend that to mean how I'm reading it >.<

[saintmagician]

Well I interpreted yuikami's comment as "a threesome with Geralt, Iorveth, Roche too pl0x...

 

[Garrison72]

We all know lesbians are cooler, and there's no shortage of them in the game anyway. Makes more sense to have two ladies and one guy.
