The Witcher 3 Wishlist

Please add in a real-time counter system so you can counter when fighting multiple enemies like batman arkham city has. If TW2 had this, its combat system would have been nearly flawless but it didn't and from what I can see in videos TW3 combat is practically identical to TW2.

Please give us some kind of real-time counter system, and not a parry system like TW2 because that doesn't work when fighting against multiple enemies and it makes combat feel sort of gimped and lame when you're supposed to be a witcher who are masters with swords.

Suggestions for The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

Hello, I watch all your trailers of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, and I can watch always the combat in those. The combat is really important, but not in all activities.

My suggestion is to introducing in the game more activities, for example:

-A horse race in which you can compete with your horse (Watch Zelda Ocarina of Time and the carrots to sprint your horse).
-Arena Tournament, a Tournament in which you can fight to win the trophy and earn gold of the arena as a tie. (not a single fight, it should be a important tournament, and you should be able to play several times, not only one time).
-To hunt animals to get their skins then sell them or make things.
-To talk to someone who asks for help and then you ambushes to steal you. (It can be a secundary mission).
-Archery competition.
-Fish.
-Find the pieces of a legendary weapon or armor around the map and then build it.
-A lot of secundary missions.

Technical:
-A good optimization for AMD and Nvidia.
-Support mods (steam workshop or not).

Thank you for The Witcher 2 Assasin of Kings and encourage you to get the best The Witcher 3.

Greetings.

Horse racing, monster hunting, and tons of side quests are all confirmed to be in the game. Wouldn't surprise me if everything else you've mentioned will be in it too, except the archery competition.

Now that the Gamescom is over and we have seen enough of the gameplay, I think that this is the right time to recap all those aspect of the game that in our opinion need to be worked on. Title your post "After Gamescom advises recap" so we can start a sub-thread.
Also remember to vote with a redpoint the posts that you agree with, to give a priority order to the requests.

I suggest to limit the critics only to the aspects of the game that are really important for the best experience possible.
To help yourselves to do it, consider that the release is only 5 months away (more or less), so there isn't much room for drastic changes.

List what you didn't like, but also what worked well.

# JackieEstacado Post Gamescom advises:

PRO:
-Stunning music

-Beautiful and detailed world

-Alive environment and NPCs

-Johnny

-Dynamic combat system

-Interesting story

-Deep side-quests

-More immediate sign's use

CONS:
-Clunky animations (doors opening, dodging, running uphill and downhill as you were on a plain and flat ground)

-physics (there is no weight in Geralt's attack, Geralt bumping into geese or into knights while horseriding, enemies splitted in two even if thrusted with the tip of the blade, poor knockback when attacked)

-The first attack of the combo is too slow and in the demos it often doesn't land.

-There is no duck-under hits pirouettes.

-Geralt's face is too fat and generic and it is different from TW2 face.
I hope it will be turned in a more lore-true one and closer to TW3 prequels.

-Geralt's hair should be white, not grey.

-The faces are too bloated.

-There's no drinking animation for potions use.

-Instinct is too intrusive and makes the tracking too easy.

-Tips on the strategies to beat the monsters shouldn't be visible until you study weak spots on books.

-Acting: when talking, Geralt and NPCs walk away before the end of the conversation (Downwarren, Djikstra)
In a sudden and innatural way.
When Johnny gets his voice back, his voice is euphoric, but his facial expression doesn't match his feelings.
The same happens with the hag granny when she says: "This is not allowed!". Voice lines should always match gestures and expressions.
At Downwarren Geralt's reply timing is a little messed up when he says in an unusual tone: "Recognise this dagger?".

-The direction sometimes is poor.
The Ladies of the wood scene where
the Granny summons them could be a lot more effective if the attention was focused more on the hag spell, maybe
adding some effect like double image overlay with a slight vibration of the screen, particularly when closing up on the old woman's face.

-Camera in combat should be a tad closer to the action, just like in VGX trailer.

-You can't kill grounded opponents.

Playing Witcher 2 make me wish an inprovement in...

I think the title is clear To talk regarding specific improvements you want for the witcher 3 series, from 2.

Me first:

I want an improvement about the sound. To start I cannot change the volume from the keyboard, as I do with other games, and everything sounds loud!

It would be great also that the sound works with surround, to hear far the people that is far, and near the people that is near...

 

[gregski]

@thewazaa - thank you for your feedback. Your thread has been merged with one already existing that is about the improvements we would like to see in the Witcher 3

 

[BlackWolf500.298]

The animations are okay IMO, though I agree that some of them do not feel weighty. Could be that those hits are light blows though as opposed to (slower and weightier) heavy blows.

As for the signs, like the quick use but I hope they are not OP.

Also, YAY to the fact that alchemy is not auto-refill.

Last but not least Geralt. Well, I agree, the hair should be white. As for his face, I would love it to be more white. But if they include visual effect of toxicity I don't mind that the standard face has more color. That would be really a thing I wished for since TW1, that the toxicity has not only gameplay effects but also changes how Geralt (especially his face) looks. A paler Geralt with Black veins that come out would be a very badass effect of mid - high toxicity and would really add to the experience for me personally.

So if I had one wish it would be the visual effects of toxicity.

Suggestion to immersion

Hey guys,

When i saw the Gamescon video gameplay of Witcher 3 i was amaze like everyone here i think.
In the video, I noticed in the inventory there's recommended potion against Werewolf and i believe it will be the same thing for any monsters. I thought about it and i think it will be great if there was an option to put it off and it will add to immersion if we should find rare(or not) books instead or talk with local population to learn rumors about how do we kill a beast. Think about it, we hear some story how the silver injured a dragon and kill him instantly and well, it will be our experience to try it or die if we consider is this true or not. Then, it will be more of a challenge if there was this sort of research before killing a creature, like we have to learn to be a better witcher before charging a beast we know nothing about. This way they do not try to hold our hand with recommended potions or weapons or at the end, just put an option to put it off. I want to discover these precious information myself.

What you guys think about it ?

 

[Thothistox]

I say all hand-holding should be optional and configurable. That goes for quest markers as well.

 

[didymos1120]

If you check the interviews Kinley did, you'll learn that the recommended potions can be disabled and that, yes, you still have to do monster research. My guess is that you don't even get recommendations until the research has been done.

 

[QCknight]

It's a great news, didn't see the proper video. I agree with you two guys and i hope it will be implement.

Post all you ideas and suggestions in Witcher 3 Wishlist thread

 

[daddy300]

Remove Ciri's heels.

I was just thinking, as player characters in every game always change armors, hairstyles, weapons etc. but your companions always look the same from day 1 to the end of the game wearing same old shirt soaked with blood...

It would be interesting if we could somehow influence our in-game companions to change clothes or have a haircut once in a while. no>?

Merged

 

[sabbath80]

I want this cover art:

 

[Sharpy47]

I would like a kill history in the pause menu of all the things I have killed in real time.
Bandits- 211
Harpies- 72
Drowners- 128
etc..etc..

Cool idea, I really want that too!

 

[Afromane]

hope secondary characters aren't stuck in the same clothes for the duration of the game.
