Witcher 3 and Permadeath
Before Witcher 3 was released there were a lot of articles stating that Witcher 3 was going to have Permadeath. This means that you would only have one save and when you died that save was deleted. For myself, this was a VERY exciting feature. Unfortunately no such option exists in the game. Has Project Red decided to not add this feature in? Or is it still being worked on?
I know many people hate the idea of playing a game this big with a one life rule. That's fine, just don't play with that option. But there are quite a few people that do. Many people say "Well why don't you just delete your save when you die?". It's not the same thing.
With a "delete your save" method those feelings of anxiety and fear are not the same because you know that if you die, you don't really die. It is up to the player to than delete the save. But in knowing this, the feelings of fear and anxiety dwindle especially the further you get into the game. In true permadeath, you know that if you die, you REALLY die and those feelings of fear and anxiety intensify the further you play.
Permadeath is not for everyone, in fact probably 90% of the players won't even try it. But this game is an IMMERSIVE game. You start feeling a part of this world. To fear death will increase the immersion 10 fold.
So Project Red, please let us know: Is permadeath or a permadeath-like option still something you are preparing? Are there any details about when it will be added in or if very unfortunately, you have decided not to add this into the game can you please state your reasons why?

, been reading lots of forums on the topic and speaking with quite a few people and there are lots of people really hoping this gets implemented. The fact that the game is so HUGE makes the perma-death even better the way i see it, more to lose.
