Dear CD Project Red team (and peeps from the forum)
In a movie on Game Informer you asked for feedback for the upcoming game Witcher 3: the wild hunt.
As a very big fan of the series I wanted to share my ideas.
minors:
add back the “collection cards” from witcher 1. You know.. those naughty cards after certain in-game choises. (It might sound a bit pervy, but it was very fun to collect!)
Add a side quest for a novice witcher (a witcher in making). First you have to help him/her and then you train that person. The newlyborn witcher can help in Geralt’s quests, but can also die.
The ability to buy houses
New talentpaths. In the Witcher 2 there was the swordsman, the mage and the potion expert. Maybe add in this game the merchant (buy your way out) and the persuative/ intimidator classes.
Really openworld, less obstacles, it hinders the pace.
Living towns. People that actually do things from point a to b, and in weekends from point a tot c.
The music is very good in this series. Use them more often. Like in Witcher 1, the atmosphere in the game when you go out hunting in the night really suits and boils the hart of the gamer!
Mayor:
Endgame option that Yennefer must be sacrificed. The effect will occur that Geralt controls the Wild Hunt and defeats the bad armies (or stops the current war(s) ). After the fight Geralt dies (again), stays in the world without the hunt. Player can continue with the game, even after main story.
Triss Merigold and Geralt kan settle down after the main plot. Spouse and child? A bit like skyrim’s hearthfire dlc. People love soaps!
For a longtime (lifetime) experience add a modtool! Fans can extend the lifetime of the witcher series and can also feel more as a part of the experience.
Thank you in advance for reading the ideas (and maybe implement them in the game)!
Ps: I’ve seen a few of the television episodes ( have a sister in law from Poland) and also read some of the stories. I must say, no other medium succeeds so well in creating a vivid and intruiging world where Geralt of Rivia breaths! Keep up the great work!
