They were good for at least one Chapter at least. Better than becoming obsolete pronto.

were there any info about how the game will consider your choices from previous games?
Good to know. On PC, would my older save games grant me some sort of bonus content or would my previous choices affect the game world in any way?

I cannot confirm this yet, but we're definitely looking at it on the PC side. We don't want to disappoint our PC fan base as we know mechanics like this are very important to them.
okay, thanks.

though I don't have any saves...

Folks on the official witcher forums were kind enough to provide a save with a very specific combination of choices from TW1 for me, so I'm sure you'll find someone there with an appropriate save from TW2.

Apparently, as one of the Polish business websites is reporting, TW3 is in something of a beta state currently. It's possible to finish the whole game, the only work remaining is polish and optimization.

EA is probably wondering why they aren't releasing the game right away.

i was going to get witcher 3, but now that kingdom come's combat test alpha comes out in 6 months for its backers, i don't see the point anymore.
Have fun with you broken alpha version of Kingdom Come. Jesus, it is not even the alpha of the full game, just the combat mechanic.

Once it's released, it's still going to take them an extra year to get out of beta.

Twitcher World sure has become a whole lot browner and duller. Must be trying extra hard for those US dollars.

wonder where do they find inspirations
There are plenty of PoE screenshots with color. Furthermore
So in terms of color palettes and how exaggerated or not exaggerated armor is, how much magic is in the world, there’s a kind of tight band for how much of that stuff you should be seeing and how it’s presented. If we showed them a game that looked as colorful as League of Legends or a game that looked as clamped-down as The Witcher, I think both of those are out-of-bounds. The Infinity Engine games were both more exaggerated and more colorful than The Witcher—by the way, I think The Witcher looks awesome. But the Infinity Engine games were a little more saturated, a little more colorful. The armor and weapons were a little more exaggerated.

well, you know... one comment by roquey based on three screens of a single area in the game and retarded codex talks about the game being browned for five pages. Discussing nothing, saying nothing - all completely useless waste of bandwith and electrons.


Im kinda expecting this to be a decent game. If they manage to stay away from most vomit inducing mass market "mechanics" and additions... A sort of Skyrim good looking sandbox but with content, characters, dialogues, quests and stories that makes sense and may be even interesting.

Saying that the Witcher 3 or PoE are either of them brown or dull is equally idiotic.
Two of those screens were extremely brown and the town was far more desaturated than anything in the previous two games.
