Developers at CD Projekt RED released a video today discussing features of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt.
One of the most notable features was the fully-immersive world that is present in the game. With the main town sporting over 2,000 residents who all adhere to their own agenda, players can interact with each individual and they all have their own unique reaction to you. From simply greeting you to fearing you with your sword drawn, each NPC is unique in their own way.
Getting Around In The World
Transportation was a key element presented in the video. Having the ability to explore such a vast open world, getting around could take some time, which is why you are given the ability to call upon your trusty horse at any given time. Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, lead quest designer for The Witcher 3, described how players are able to take their adventure across open water. With the use of your own boat, players can cross rivers, lakes and seas at their own will, but risk having it destroyed by sea monsters or more naturally by a storm.
For those who wish to save their feet the aches, fast travelling is an option once you unlock key points of the world.
The Difference Between Day and Night
In The Witcher 3, there is in fact a difference between day and night.
When the sun settles for the night, the world of The Witcher 3 is presented with a new variety of monsters. As presented in the video, players have the choice to wait for the morning light to continue their adventure, or they can brave the dark of the night and challenge these beasts.
I don’t know about you, but I’m really anticipation the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Despite it not being released until February 24, 2015, it at least gives time to perhaps replay the first two.
