I don't have a source which confirms it, but I'm pretty sure in one of the interviews it was said that you can change the difficulty whenever you want.
The hardest available without the one life thingy.
Not really a fan of walking around while semi afk and if a dragon shows up I can react 10 secs later...
If it was up to me I'd make every game like DS2 system where you have no difficulties, you just play the game. It's not like it's quantum physics to focus for 5 mins to kill a boss...

The highest without permadeath.
I'm looking forward to wandering into dangerous areas with monsters way too high for my level, just to get a taste of their power, and then the extra satisfaction (and hopefully excitement wondering what loot they have) that'll come from going back and getting them later. I doubt that'd be a good plan with permadeath.

Exactly, there have been a couple of games (Witcher 2 among them) where, midway through my first playthrough, I had to crank up the difficulty for the purpose of keeping it challenging. I hate to be stuck with a particular difficulty setting in a 100+ hours game that you can't adjust if you feel that it either poses not enough of a challenge or simply is too tough, something you can't really know the first time around when you're still unfamiliar with a title.
Or your wife comes in and babbles incoherently at you (I mean talks to about something
) and you look away and bam death... Happens to me too often in past... She actually expects me to listen to her... Women...
I'll propably go it through on hard first. Because I do love a challenge, and they mentioned that the hard difficulty will require you to use potions and such, which I personally love. And I figure I should feel myself at home, since I played the Witcher 2 on hard first, and after that I made it through the Dark mode.
And if I ever have time to finish the game (since it has so much side quests and exploring in it), I'll propably play it on Dark difficulty after my first go.
If CD Projekt Red is going to bring in to the Wild Hunt

Dark.
Going all the way this time.
Still remember Hard difficulty being way too easy for me on my last playthrough of TW2.
*for all of you out there wondering, according to my knowledge dark is the hardest but without permadeath. If they do it like in TW2 then Insane will be like "hard" difficulty but with permadeath.
I'm going dark, dark as the night.

I really wish they made a "veteran" difficulty, which is just a harder version of normal. I have a feeling normal will be too easy and hard will be too hard to start off with. I really hope there aren't any difficulty spikes or cliffs, and that there isn't anything in the talent tree that is obviously overpowered.
I would go with normal and then increase on second play, that increase could be anything not something immediately after normal. Btw anyone know what difficulty devs were playing on during demos/presentations, the game felt quite easy specially the Royal Wyvern quest, it was barely scratching Geralt. If that was normal then I'd go with something higher.
Yes IGN video was great from difficulty point of view, that is the normal I would like to see.
Probably normal, but I'm tempted to play on Hard. Often it's easier to just learn the game on hard from the start than having to relearn it later after playing on easier difficulties.
