I'd have to see it, I don't think its anywhere near that easy. Its hard to imagine some fixed decals that sit on top of everything from cloth, to leather, to plate without looking look real dumb. Its easy to slap a 2D decal on an equally flat and basic character model. TW3 models are under far more scrutiny meaning the decals would have to be equally complex without being jarring to see.

Theres also just the practicality of it. You spend so much time looking at Geralt backside, does that mean I have to swing the camera to his front to see how injured I am at a given moment? Or will all of these decals so on his back?

The wounds are mostly just simple "slash" looking wounds that have blood in them.

At most you could simply adapt simple "cut" areas around them for different armor types, one for "cloth" that appears ripped around the cut, then one for plate so it looks "dented" around the open wound decal.


Did a quick search and in these videos I found you can see it in action:

Speaking of Yennefer, how do she look in the game?I have seen a few pics but somehow they look different to me, like they changed her appearence for some reason.

For example in these two pics she looks different unless its the hair or something

I think they changed her hair from that first trailer reveal to what she is now. Hard to tell how much she has changed. But one of the DLCs is a different look for her.

It's reached the point where I need one save for each available partner. I hope the training area is a legit training area that allows me to grow before facing the big monsters. Oh yeah, I'm anti shark so I'll miss a couple side quests unless there's a fishing mini game I'm missing.

What's the cutoff point for respectable reviews? I'm asking because this game is really long and need to know at what point reviewers are trustworthy and didn't speedrun the game.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Yennifer was resigned, particularly her hair, as Yennefer being a brunet makes about as much sense as Geralt being bald.

I do like the old hair style quite a bit, even if the color is off.

You don't really see that kind of cut in games all that often. Seems unique.

No way I would choose my 5.1 system over my pair of Adam A7X. The Witcher 3 will sound fantastic on them.
Click to expand...

well yeah but you lose virtually all of the atmosphere that a 5.1 system can deliver vs a 2.0 or 2.1 setup.

Assuming you have a decent 5.1 system that can deliver good low end, good surround sound, etc, I promise you that is WORLDS better than the A7's in 2.0.

I feel those videos just reinforce my previous points. The decals are difficult to see from the front so they just inexplicably appear on his back. The "slashes" are also going through material in odd ways which with those basic looking models isn't so bad, but would stand out like an eye sore in this game unless they developed unique decals for each piece of armor.

Sooooo, I just realized it's Victoria Day the day my CE is supposed to ship, which means I'll be getting it Wednesday instead of launch day. ;_;

Maybe the first look of Yennefer will be made available with her alternative look in one of the free DLC? Cause if it's just her wearing a hood that would kinda suck.

I know it's not apples to apples but I really hope it's a LOT better than DA:I.

Was throughly disappointed with that game after the GotY love it got.

Oh yeah, lol. Length doesn't really matter when it's so repetitive, you get exhausted after a couple of dozen of hours.

There may be a bunch of "meaningless" (in the grand scale of things) quests in TW3 too, but I'm confident they're going to be far from the terrible shit DAI had.

Some of these reviewers were the ones stating that DA:I story was 90 hours or something but I think the average completion time is about 40 hours.

I'll take what they say with a spoonful of salt, sure it will be massive if you do literally everything but I doubt literally everything will be worth doing.

Yep, in reality DA:I main quest was pretty short IIRC.

My guess for this game is 40-50 hours main quest.

Yeah that's what CDPR said. Story has 9 quests with mutiple sidequest each. My guess is the other 50-100 hours are coming from non story sidequests and exploring.

Yeah. CDPR estimates 40-50 for Main content. 100hours if you max out on Side Quests. 200 if you are one of the out of your mind completionist types that'll collect every gwent card, find every treasure/place of power, and craft every item.

Eh, we'll see. CDProjekt doesn't have a great track record when it comes to maintaining characterization, so there's still a chance that Yennefer will turn out to be a trustworthy and wholly pleasant person to hang around with.
The problem with adapting this subplot into an interactive medium is that "canonically" there's only one choice, and it's not the one any well-adjusted person should ever make. It would take some skillful writing to get around all the things that tie those two together.

Not only that The Witcher 3 is fucking huge, it also seems like to have really interesting quests, which all recent open world RPGs failed to deliver.

This game is going to be fucking alley.
