Now after having played through Hearts of Stones and being in Toussaint I can say only, how much amazed I am by the visual overwhelming beauty that is Toussaint, against the vanilla game..that I can wish only, that CDPR would overwork graphically the vanilla game to receive the same absolutely superior shaders ect that Toussaint received to make also the vanilla game look alot better with much better lighting and shadows, better rendered objects ect.
The enemies in Toussaint are all good, much better AI even than my so far loved Arachnomorphs...heck, against a bunch of Kikimoras is a bunch of arachnomorphs an absolute joke again xD damn and i love it finally do have some realyl dangerous enemies in the game that I can only demand that the AI of the vanilla game monsters needs to get improved and need to receive new skills/attack patterns to become more dangerous
(aside from increasign the monster variety in the vanilla game, especially still Skellige)
Played through HoS, none of the quests are bugged (anymore if there ever was something)..applause, if I coudld say this only for the vanilla game xD saw some new visual bugs that need to get fixed, like for example that on the very last vanilal game main quests theres some kind of bug with Triss' DLC Outfit changign back in some cutscenes to the normal game outfit when defending Kaer Morhen for exampple and one or 2 qwuests later of that in some scenes with her too.
The only places in this game where I have ever seen this happening, everywhere else she always perfectly wears her DLC clothes.
Still have absolutely all quests done with no fail marks exacept these stupid two contract quests Heart of Woods and oxenfurt Drunk, which you get forced upon your throughs with those unneccessary fail marks due to not good thought out quest mark design, while the game has alot of similar situations later, where the game simply removes optional stuff from the quest mark list, so that I absoljutely can't understand what the devs were thinking with these two quests what makes them so different, that there we need to get these fail marks, when evewhere else in the game in similar situations we don't.
OS I can please only again, change these two quests and remvoed these stupid fail marks from them the obsolete second kill the Katakan one and removing the optional path you didn't take in heart of the woods from the quest mark list, like the game does everywhere else in similar quests that if you follow Svens path, then Haralds path gets simpöly completely removed from the quest mark list, because you have chosen to follow Svens path..thesres no need then anymore to show you anything about haralds path >.<
After having played the game now so much and understanding by now also alot of thigns in this game alot better, simply due to having seen now much more and having played all quests of the vanilla game,, HoS and having begun now with Toussaint (so far met no bugs there lol xD) I've the feeling, I could continue with alot more improvements - like i said, my initial list of my first post is most likely only the tip of the iceberg, that by now Ive got somehow the feeling, that the amount of improvements that this game needs are really only something that CDPR should better do by releasing an Enhanced Version of this game...
Because I know too that so much work costs also alot of money and by selling an Enhanced Version they could make new money..more as when they release just only a GOTY edition, which is just the main game with the Expansions included, which is only a perfect interestign buy for people, which don't have yet Witcher 3 and can get this way directly everything with 1 buy
Makign a real enhanced version is i think also easier, than keeping on patching the game constantl,y which is always the problem with havign to speed with Sony and Microsoft to get the patches through, where its alot easier to just make Witcher 3 as enhanced edition as completely overworked new Game - where I say I'd be willing to rebuy it as completely overworked and improved game, that is then also graphically from begin on everywhere on the same level as like Toussaint, because getting the vanilla game into the same graphical level as like Toussaint is already most likely so much effort and work, that they would need to rework the complete game for that from scratch basically I guess.
And if thats the case, then its always better to make a remasterd and enhanced version of the game and re-release that then as completely new game, than to keep on patching the old game.
Doing this step would enable CDPR to include also things then from begin on like upcoming support for PS4 Neo and Microsofts Project Scorpio to let the game make usage of the power improvements of the upcomign console upgrade versions that Sony and MS are working on
plus they could work then maybe also from begin on on addign a feature, that makes it console gamers later able to make usage also from PC Mods that people make like Bethesda does this for Skyrim and we see here, that this game has a modding community for Witcher 3, so why don't make also usage of the creativity of our community to make it possible in the overworked game version to include that creativity into the game in a way that also console players can use that to alterate their gamign experience this way
Hmm ,all i can say now for a Patch 1.25 is, that I wish, that it becomes a final big great patch (if it ever comes, I guess eventualyl with the release of the GOTY edition), which polishes the game more and does also something for the lacking combat system and monster variety, while fixing bugs and especialyl said two contract quests, I think then I'm also happy enough about it xD
I guess anythign more than this is just wish thinking, but this forum just encourages to "dream" about the wasted potential that this game has
