Hey!
So i wanted to propse some suggestions for the pc version of The Witcher 3 that is getting an upgrade.
Since im new on this forum i need to post it here in the welcome thread.
Suggestion/question1 :
Is there a possibility for you devs to make the pre-rendered cutscenes in the original game to actual in engine cutscene animations for the PC version of the game?
why1 :
I find it immersion breaking that characters dont wear the same set of clothes or have the set hairstyle(beard etc.) in cutscenes that plays pre rendered as in my current local game save.
THIS ALSO goes for MODS. Mods that change appearances made by the modding community. clothing etc.
Since PC's in general have more power than consoles. Why bottleneck the immersion with console features?
Suggestion/question2:
Could you expand and or add or redo the modding support for the game ?
why2:
The current modding tools for the game is limiting the communitys freedom to do what we want to do. (for example the mod limit in game is game-breaking, and the difficulty of creating a proper mod for TW3 is much higher than example : elder scrolls. The freedom is limited. Creating quests is hard)
With better tools, support and freedom the community can easily expand the already astonoshing game experience we have today. This increases replayability. Immersion. Keeps the game alive for longer, and the fans more happy.
Elder scrolls in comparison have some amazing tools that let modders/creators easily craft "gold" for the community to enjoy.
Thanks for the attention. I do love TW3 with all my heart , and hopefully togheter we can come togheter and make this great game even better <3
Best regards

A bit late to the wishlist party, but here I go, in -more or less- order of preference:
Edit: I want to second something someone already said, we need real time cutscenes and not pre-rendered ones. It just breaks immersion by introducing non matching clothing, capped framerate, worse quality...
- TAA support: Omg am I crazy? Asking for antialiasing before any other form of graphics improvement? "But man, TAA is a blurry mess". IMHO TAA, when properly done & tweaked, is one of the greatest improvements in image quality that we have had in the latest years, along with volumetrics and raytracing. Not only is a pretty fast and good quality AA but does an incredible job removing specular aliasing, which I can notice even at 4K on a 27" monitor. It also pairs incredibly well (greatly enhancing "performance / quality ratio") with volumetric effects such as what I mention in the next two points. Besides, DLSS 2.0 (point 5) requires that the engine supports TAA, so for 5 to happen this must be added.
- Volumetric, raymarched clouds: Since Horizon ZD many games have implemented it, such as FFXV, RDR2 MS Flight Sim... This is an absolute must for me to keep W3 alive and real next gen quality. I do not see it happening because it would require a huuuge revision on the wheather & day and night system to be coherent.
- Volumetric lightning / fog: W3 uses screen space light shafts I believe, which was already getting old when W3 came out. I can hardly see it happening either because tweaking all the game lighting locations & moods would be even more tedious than the clouds. Regarding volumetric fog, I miss having intense foggy days (A Plague Tale: Innocence comes to my mind). I'd love to get lost in the swamp with such fog.
- Raytraced shadows, reflections and GI: Another must for a next gen game. We were already told that is going to have some form of Raytracing.
- DLSS 2.0+ / whatever is AMD equivalent in the future: I can't conceive a game that uses any form of raytracing without these right now, specially above 1080p resolutions. I see this more likely to happen if DXR is going to be used.
- Enhanced textures: Very likely to happen, I haven't look for the exact announced details but I would be surprised if it wasn't mentioned already.
- HDR: Finally coming to PC, I probably will not use it unless I buy a new monitor or TV, but it was shame to not be on par with consoles for PC players.
- Enhanced existing graphics settings: Going further in some existing settings such as grass view distance or density would make sense. I always got really annoyed by lens dirt / water when it rains. An option to disable it or adjust the intensity might be nice.
- Real built in ultrawide support: It is almost 2021 and we still have to deal with black bars in some games, specially in cutscenes. I understand that a proper support for UW in cutscenes is most likely not happening since they were not thought to be played at that aspect and may have glitches outside the 16:9 viewport but I'd rather see glitches or worse framings than black bars.
Edit: I want to second something someone already said, we need real time cutscenes and not pre-rendered ones. It just breaks immersion by introducing non matching clothing, capped framerate, worse quality...

Well-well-weeeeeell,
Dear CDPR, this is the first forum thread, I want to be a part of.
The case is, that I'm used to The Witcher 3 story and many times I tried to break it (consider me as an amateur tester with no further reason).
I like this freaking awesome games for minor details and small hidden dialogues and different content based on my personal walkthrough.
After releasing Dandelion, I've opened the quest log and there was the first Blood and Wine quest to meet knights. The sadness after this microevent waved me away to the shore of microdissapointment. I tracked my further way - end Blood and Wine main quest (events at 1275!) -> return to resque Ciri (events at 1272!). Yeah, my spirit of breaking the games is fully fulfilled, but the deepening atmosphere was tatally ruined.
Then I create a question to yours:
• Why should a player have even a possibility to ruin the timeline entering Tousaint 1275 before 1272?
• The entrance of this prettiest Duchy ever seen is a small moment, so when I listen to this music and see the landscape (after reading books it would be much cooler) it provides me pure chills. Everytime. So this Blood and Wine expancion is the place, where Gerald should come after everthing at Velen and Skellige happened. Why don't you give player these pure emotions of facing Tousaint afterwards? Just a moment of a good scenary and best players impression, not only about timeline.
• Why does this first quest open in the middle of the main quest voyage? This was intended to be, I guess because this is a very grand thing to discuss. Have you got any explanation on that? Would be great.
These I'm asking as a true fan of yours, books, everything's connected to this saga. My pure curiosity and will of improvement shall guide ye to answer mine. Or by the name of the Duchess and on the heron's honour, I shall send my lads to thee to cause a skirmish!
Regards,
Cirill, the Count of Cintra

With the current Cyberpunk situation this upgrade thing needs to be successfull more than ever. The studio has a lot of trust to regain. I expect a lot of work on that too now. More than before. This upgrade must look like a gift to the player base and also make honour to the devs that have seen their awesome work amputated for years now... Give us back what devs put efforts on developping and never got in to the game. Us getting the game the dev team really envisionned but never got because of you know what is the least the management must allow now. Saber Interactive can bring back this just fine to spare CDPR team that are already under insane pressure because of this terrible management.
I sincerely sympathize with CDPR staff...This is terrible... Being crunched like this (bad already) and getting this hell release anyway is truly heartbreaking... I hope this upgrade done by others will do justice to the staff by restoring what they worked on ultimately for nothing back in 2015. And I sure hope they get through thisCyberpunk nightmare with all their physical and mental health.
