Bummer man, you sound way upset.
I'm still really stoked to play this new game, I hope you still give the game a chance when it comes out.
I really think all this change is for the better of the game, it looks WAY more fun than TW1 & 2 combined.
I want to play it (is a witcher forum after all I'm in), just they got a bit more generic, I mean, in a more EA way, appealing with crossbows and beautiful geralt (like appealing with dumb things)(meh maybe we need the crossbow, as they stated, but those aren't the only 2 flaws)
High heels: She (Ciri) wore them in the books even when fighting. I'm not really surprised or bothered by someone like Yennefer wearing the boots she's wearing in the CGI opening
Wolves with red lights: It's not lights. It's their eyes in the dark. I think it's a bit overdone
Everyone beautiful: Really subjective. I've seen many people complain about how ugly yennefer or other characters are
Recommended potions: I'm pretty sure this is no different from having to read a book in the past games to know their weakness. You're probably going to have to read a book just like you did in the past games
Exclusive Xbox One features: What? No. The collectors edition has some worthless cards that nobody will care about a week after they buy the thing
Crossbow: Geralt does use something like that in the books. It's not a full sized crossbow. The ammo recharged fast probably because of a dev cheat. Just like how health and vigor recharged very fast
Bad UI: I do hope to see it improved. The build we saw is now about 9-10 months old and they said they were working to improve it since then. This includes all the hand holding elements and the monster icon. I want to see it improved with that too
Well about face appearence, geralt is too beautiful and hollywoodish, plus a generic face
About high heels, well I'm kinda shocked then, just recently I started to read the books so I'm a bit lost (I'm loving the books)
About the wolves, yep, it's as mentioned by someone too arcady, too world of warcraft style (well is not that arcady, and not horrible at all, just watch dragon age and you will see what I'm talking about)
Crossbow:If he uses something like that in the book, then sorry :/
Complaining about Xone exclusive: because of ethics, they tricked us,and with the dumb detail in the following sentence "no
in-game exclusive content between platforms" , and that's a dirty trick that I expect from EA, not cdprojekt!
Bad Ui:bad UI is bad and I too hope they fixed
Probably they updated the game quite a lot so who knows
And yes, I'm a bit upset with some things, the cdred mistakes can be because no one is perfect, or because we got nitpicky, but there are flaws and one or two at least aren't nitpicking, really
I want epicness that tw1 and tw2 had (I'll post this in an another thread to not get too off-topic here)

But anyone agree about the spikes things
? (That aren't good)
