All in all, good.
The only bit that's ominous is the passing mention to procedural/random/on-a-loop content.
Believe me, it gets old really fast.

Wow, I can't find a single thing to dislike in the revealed details. Thanks for being so awesome CDPR!
I wish their attitude towards game development would rub off on other developers.
HomemComH and Sirnaq: haha, very accurate portrayal of player feelings, including mine

Should you ever drop by this neck of the woods, first round is on me.Yurtex said:
Q (Rimsky):
What monsters there were except giant?
What about old characters?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
Sorry not much was showed. Wild animals and bandits, all story related characters was carefully hidden.
Q (geralt_novgorod):
How much time it takes to complete TW3 demo?
Will Geralt be able to swim on his own or only on boat?
How decisions that were made in TW1,TW2 influence the game?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
Quest it self was possible to pass in half an hour, but we were able to walk around location. That was small northern island, size of whole TW2 game. But we haven't seen whole island, be course not every thing is ready yet. It was an alpha, rather than beta.
Geralt will be able to swim, and how well! But he will have stamina, so not every island may be visited with out boat. And in cold water stamina will drain much more rapid, so at north boat is necessary. By the way one of the quests related to that. You arrive to the island, but boat get sunk.
Decisions will be important, so dev recommend to keep safes. Will they make a mass effect like presetup (were you can choose decisions) - they are still thinking. But how decisions will manifest , obviously nobody will tell/>/>
Q (geralt_novgorod):
Please tell about targeting system and weak points of the enemies. What about stealth and melee? Does auto targeting uses energy?
How fast Geralt dismount?
Is there any difference between steel sword animations and silver one?
Are button bindings the same : lmb - light strike, rmb - strong?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
Sadly but most above is a precise details, which will be balanced and rebalance. There a still two strikes. And he dismount the horse say speed as skyrim did.
Q (Bibizinskiy):
//in general about how bad optimization was at release//
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
Optimisation were promised to be better. At least devs stated that TW2 was to demanding for its generation in their opinion.
Q (Yurtex):
1) Are we going to meet the other witchers? Will be there anything related to Kaer Morhen.
2) Will we be able to navigate the sea as we like (go everywhere, explore small islands, fight sea monsters) or is it going to be like in TW:1?
3) Can we import save games from TW1?
4) Is Geralt going to use the chain from the first game intro?
5) how many towns/vilages will the game have?
6) will we get the strong/fast/group stiles back?
7) How levelling system going to look? More like in TW1 or TW2?
8) What about weak points and detective mode?
9) can we keep on playing after the main story ends?
12) Will we have time to expore and do side quests to our hearts content without fear of missing a main story quest / save a vilage from x enemy? (are we going to fail a quest only if we start it and ignore it, or can we fail a quest if we don't accept it at a specific time in the game?)
11) What about drinking and food? Like in TW1 were quests to over-drunk your opponent?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
1. Story related - secret.
2. Boat is controlled manually, where never you like you can sail. There a no invisible walls, but it will be kind of stupid to land to the giants at level 1. Basically quests only give you mark were to go, but you decide how to go there swim or ride, knowing nothing about it. And Yes IFT will be, if you want to use it. Works like usually only with visited locations.
3. Already answered, Keep your saves!
5. Quote: "lots". One capital, few town and a lot of small villages. Flotsam from TW2 falls under "small village" category.
6. Seems no, will ask about it.
7. Still in devleopment
8. That a good question, hard to answer in short. Its like new wticher sense, witch makes Geralt a bit more batman. When entering this mode, every thing becomes grey and all related item are highlighted. This way you can see animals tracks, see enemy weak points , see last seconds of the victims live and much more.
9. Another secret.
10. About failing - doubtful, but forget and then come back - as much as you want.
11. Such quests will be definitely, but will you be able to drunk on your own - need to investigate.
Q (Alce):
Сyberpunk 2077? Вживую не показывали, но на вопросы отвечали. Скоро будет и превью, и запись видеоинтервью.
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
They answered some questions, soon going to show preview, and recording of the video interview.
Q (Im Vlad!):
//Game play time , Horse name//
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
On presentations numbers 40 and 40 were mentioned (40 hours) 3 endings and a lot of combinations what happend to the world thanks to our action.(like in fallout)
About Roach, main horse will be called so. But the other question that it wont be always available(on the island for example). But no buddy stops you from calling your newly obtained horse - Roach.
Q (Diixtra):
Will be colour gamma the same as in TW2?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
Three regions - three different colour gamma. Cold blue on the norht, dark green on No man land and gold + pearl - in Novigrad and neighbourhood.
Q (chaos_204):
1)What about stupid amnesia, like in TW2 were you lost most of your skills (compared to TW1)
2)Secondary characters from TW1?
3)Does mob hunting give any xp?
4)Is there any effect from previous game decisions?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
1 and 3 still in dev. 2 is plot related. 4 haven't seen, but was promised to have fully.
Q (zyzz):
How inventory looks like, more like in TW1 or TW2?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
Neither, was an wip inventory. More like tw2, but dev said that inventory and map will look completely different.
Q (geralt_novgorod):
1)Companions?
2)New media?
5)New inventory for traders
8)Will be game world developed after TW3?
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
1. Seems like part time only.
2. SOON.
5. Inventory still in development.
8. TW3 is a last game of trilogy about Geralt. And look at the writer was a cunning. So new games are possible.
Q (P1a9v8e9l):
2)//Fauna//
3)//New combat//
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
2. While travelling animals do appear and from time to time interact with each other. Wolf running after rabbit, pride attacking sheep.
3. If I got it right, its returning to rhythmic combat. Button pressed in right time will give better result, then chaotic, random pressed one. So not only combination is important but timing as well.
Q (simple_intelligence):
1)//Mini games//
2)//Monster count//
4)//female dwarves//
A (Alexander Pushkar', Igromania):
1. There will be more mini games, but that all info. There were phrase stated: "Quests related to mini-games"
2. More defiantly, will ask how much exact.
4. Plot related.

I love the bit about Geralt being a great swimmer.
Please CDprojekt, do not let this opportunity pass. Let's have some underwater content.

Yourtex can you ask if there are any underwater caves in the game? (can Geralt dive?)
can someone please translate this? thanks in advance.
1. Пардон, сюжет 2. Лодкой управляем вручную, куда хотим - туда плывём. Искусственных ограничений нет, но было бы несколько неразумно высаживаться у великанов на первом левеле. По сути, квесты только дают отметки на карте куда именно двигаться, но приплыть/прискакать в квестовую точку можно и самостоятельно, ничего о не не зная. Ну и да, квик тревел - будет, если вы захотите им пользоваться.

I hope not. A presetup has the potential to ruin and trivialize the storytelling process. It's better to give the player a default storyline.Yurtex said:
A default storyline is also sort of like the Developer's version of events, which can be fun to experience in itself.
Is this for real, will choises from the first game make a difference..... this brings so many posibilities for meeting past charactersYurtex said:
Maybe I am pessimistic, but I took this to mean that Geralt will die.Yurtex said:
