    LOL, it does.

    Enemies already have too much HP from what I;'ve seen on all videos, unarmored bandits take 5+ hits to kill.

    If you want a group of unarmored bandits to pose any kind of challenge there's nothing wrong with that. :M

    Your ignore list.
    Meanwhile, GTA5 proves you can upgrade graphics while maintaining good levels of performance.

    you can kill most of the trash mob in Dark Souls in two hits yet fight against 3-4 skeletons is butt-clenching experience for most players :M

    That's pretty cool - I wonder if some choices from TW1 will also carry over, though? I have a TW2 save that I imported into TW2 from TW1 - would be immensely cool to meet Siegfried, for example. :)

    Siegfried was in the Witcher 2 at Loc Muine if you allied with the Order in the first game,i think he should be in the game,him being the Headmaster of the Order and all that crap..

    never sided with order in TW1. That is interesting. Though considering where it takes place game probably won't feature order. Nilfgard is really strict about things like that along with wizards and other unwanted people.

    You could make them use their numbers to their advantage, knocking you back and forth like a ping pong ball. The HP bloat is a consequence of having a Power Rangers' "stand aside flailing your arms while the hero fights your buddy" group combat.

    The Order swore to fight along Radovid for giving them lands ,and he should play a big role in Witcher 3.The Order should be featured because Novigrad is a Redanian city and it wouldn't make sense not to include them after the deal they made with Radovid.

    That's good brawler design, a single mistake resulting in a positive feedback loop is bad. Unpatched Witcher 2 had that, then they un-cargo culted themselves.

    So would I, they could give us a pleasant experience and then spend 2 years figuring out how to best butcher the game so that all the console untermenschen can enjoy its undead corpse.

    were there any actual features cut because of the consoles?
    was writing altered and made of lower quality because of consoles?
    were design directions changed to appeal to the console audience?

    sure reducing graphics quality is a bummer but it's far from being the most important thing

    Without a doubt. It happened with TW2 though, and was just furthered with this one.

    can you prove this?
    either by developer statements or a reasonable enough logical deduction

    The proof would be going from grid-based inventory that is easy to navigate using mouse to a list-based inventory that is just tedious on the PC, but common on consoles. Many other developers did the same when they've started developing games on consoles. KoTOR would be a good example.

    Nothing wrong with playing dress-up, it's fun.

    Scaled loot is cancer though.
