That sentence (and the whole post) made my heart very warm. Thank you, we need more people like you in the industry - honest, down to earth, willing to talk and discuss.
PRAISE THE BROTHERHOOD!
PRAISE THE BROTHERHOOD!
A bit of strawmanning going on, but ok.
I just said these elements can be present in the game in one way or another simply because the game's size allows it. And that everyone should be satisfied, at least to some extent. Taking the example of politics, it can be present in the main story without it taking away what the main story is actually about (e.g. Witcher 1 - it had politics woven in the main story, and I think it fit in quite well).
Anyhow, thanks Mr. Blacha for the wonderful posts. We appreciate them greatly.

Here I have become death destroyer of topics, and devour of threads. Seriously how many freaking threads has this bloated mess consumed?
Well, you can't really talk about how the game doesn't need to focus on one aspects and then come back in the next post and say how there's one main theme, with others woven into it, i.e. not in focus, that's a contradiction. It's how focusing works, just in general - something is in focus while the rest stays out of focus. Maybe you've worded your previous posts poorly, but please don't try to pin fallacies on others when that is not the case, it's not very nice
Anyway, I think that, ultimately, we both agree that the Witcher offers a diverse selection of themes. Even if the main one may not be to everyone's liking, e.g. the 'what is a monster' theme of TW1 vs the political one in TW2 (in fact, I suspect I'll find the whole Ciri and the Wild Hunt plot... not that engaging, like I did in the books).
Going back to the topic, other than wishing for the dev team not to try and please everyone, because a strong main theme will always be more memorable than a diluted one that doesn't know what it wants to be, I also wish for bigger dialogue trees. So far, the only decision tree that I've liked the look of has been the one right before the decision about the tree sprit from the demo. There have been several places where I feel that a couple of extra options would be nice.
Another thing I wish for is good quest diversity. So far, we've only seen side quests that consist of monster hunts and main quests that consist of side quests that consist of monster hunts. It's a bit alarming, but we've only seen a small portion of the game, so it's too early to truly judge.
You're the one that used the word - and in relation to TW3 being a contrast to focusing on a theme:
TW3, as you said later yourself, is not trying to bring us "full menu". It has the same themes the previous games had and, again, like you said yourself, it will only focus on one, with others being "woven into" it. So, it's either poor wording or a change of position.
Whatever the case, I still love you very much, especially for not wanting to go off-topic any further

It's a reasonable concern Servia has, but as of yet unfounded. In the lead up to TW2 I worried about CDPR neglecting their slavic roots and uncompromising approach to appeal to a broader audience. The game arrived and none of my fears were realized. I think their promotional material and game content don't always overlap, which may be by design.
...Woah, just read Blacha's confirmation of dicks. Ladies, rejoice!

+100. More witcher work in TW3 please
in the style of short stories from the saga. And less politics like in the later parts.Why the mess in this thread?
Minor detail suggestion.
Could horses and everything else have this when temp drops? Maybe blanket when riding in cold areas as well?

adding little touches like this is proven to make everything better
do it CDPR
Would be cool if we could see gypsies/fortune-tellers. Seems like they would fit right in the world of the Witcher.
Probably Johnny's "Granma" can also be a fortune-teller. Who knows?
Hell yes, it seems so simple to add this but very few games doWhy the mess in this thread?

Thanks.
It could be more then just animals, Witcher and other characters walking cold areas could have this. You can imagine characters shivering and reacting to low temperature. I live where it snows really heavely every year people use snow shovels and SUV's to clear the snow all the time. Maybe some characters could do this in the game as well. I really hope thier will be heavy snow areas
I already asked for this a long ass time ago, so maybe they already know. Same for Geralt's breath & npc's so this is a good reminder for devs

I haven't really got that much on my wish list. But what I would like is -
As it is open world, fast travel is a must!
Being able to meditate before combat, particularly for potion purposes (on occasions I couldn't do this)
More stealth options
More NPC banter in the background - I do like that touch and some of it is funny.
Iorveth and Philippa - I would love to see them both again
More Zoltan!
A save game import system similar to the Dragon Age Keep (particularly for those who will be playing the game on next gen consoles)

What i wish for the witcher 3 is to replace geralt with christiano ronaldo and ,of course, hire him for VA. EVERYTHING ELSE stays the same.
Legendary Gearlt armor sets and weapons?
I think a transmog.. feature similar to Diablo III for Geralt's armor sets/swords would be a very really cool and much desired option.
I want to keep my favorite armor sets/styles and swords/crossbows on hand, but keep my new level stats intact with them.
e.g
If we only had some vendor/gypsy we could pay to make all of our new found armor sets and swords look like all the ones we have previously found/unlocked.
This would kickass!!
I would really like to cycle through just a few of my very favorite found/unlocked armor sets and styles.
I want to keep a few of them on hand in my inventory/horse or witcher storage throughout the world.
Like I said, I want to mix and match the sets and styles but keep my new highest stats intact.
It's strictly a cosmetic in game option, but it's also Great Customizable Fun!!

Fast travel is in.
I think it was said in an interview that they aren't doing any stealth sections at all. Can't recall which one. A relatively recent one from our thread - maybe from the past several weeks?
