Or both...

[font=arial, verdana, sans-serif]"I hoped the player would now be trusted to figure out the monster’s weaknesses using Geralt’s encyclopedia, but everything except the actual fight is directed by on-screen prompts. We know from reading about Leshens, for example, that they create totems which must be destroyed to reduce their power, and we’re instructed do this as soon as we enter the forest, following a murder of crows to each of the monsters’ trophies and burning them—it’s possible this is just the player’s first introduction to the beast, though."[/font]

No sign of Didi's report still. I hope she had a chance to interview CDPR team and still plans to publish it.

 

[Veleda.980]

Just wanted to say congrats to CDPR for the E3 showing and all the acclaim. It's well deserved, moreso than for a lot of those yawners. The game looks amazing.

I am now worried. Maybe it was just a quick fix for E3, maybe not.

Wasn't a weekly Q&A with CDProjekt in the works? They need to be asked about this.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I really hope we will have to refer to our bestiary/journal to learn about monsters instead of sign posting like PC Gamer described

 

[Mohasz]

Maybe we will be able to turn off these 'reminders', some kind of hc mode or such.

 

[wichat]

As in this interview posted by Agent Blue we learn that Geralt no need read all books for fighting monsters but only watching eenviromenten signals: crows fliying above each tòtem, hearing the sounds of the monsters... etc.

For French speakers, interesting take. Chouette.

Yes, CDPR have already said in several other interviews that books will tell you about the weak spot of the monster that you can exploit by using the Witcher Senses in combat. Geralt will know how to track and deal with the monster without the aid of books, though.

In W3 Geralt has his memory back. So He don't need to read books, because He already know everything. I thing It's fair choice.
W1- Start everything from scratch
W2- Some memory flashback's but thats all
W3- full memory back, all things from books in head. So looking for the clues and analizing existing facts.
Sorry for my english

Well if I spot something curious, like tracks or a dead body, I'd hope prompts don't just pop up telling me what to do. We'll have to see it in action I guess. IF CDPR hates exclamation points above relevant npc's, it'd be hard to imagine them going this route.

 

[gregski]

In one of the previews I read that Geralt is commenting on what clues he sees, mumbling to himself. So hopefully we will have to pay attention to what he says and deduct from his words where to look and what to look for.
