The Witcher 3 Release Date: CD Projekt Red Answer 20 Questions On Youtube, No Branching Story, No Auto-Leveling, New Potion, And Combat Systems [VIDEO]

CD Projekt Red recently sat down and answered some questions about "The Witche 3 Wild Hunt" 

Community Managers Marcin Momot and Tadek Zielinski recently took to YouTube to answer 20 questions about the upcoming RPG.

For one your horse comes at when you wistle and has its own storage space.

The potion system is being overhauled again, and Geralt will be able to use them in combat this time around rather than needing to consume them in advance. Momot and Zielinski also explained that while the game takes place in an open world, enemies won't auto-scale, meaning that if you are a level one and walk into a level 10 area, things are going to get messy. 

There also will be no time limits for each mission. CD Projekt RED wants fans to take their time with the game as a whole, and play it at their own pace. There will be times when the game will prompt that you finish a task quickly, and these will be necessitated by something important to the story.

The game is set in a large continent, which allowed CD Projekt RED to create different locales. The combat uses the best parts of "The Witcher 2" including dodges, evades, rolls, etc.

There are many things you can do outside of the main quest. You can race on horses, on boats, get into fistfights, hunt monsters for a living. There will also be points of interest, a new system that allows you to find something new to do, so that you can go anywhere and not be bored. The game will generate these random encounters in such a way that you can choose to engage in them or not.

Again drawing a line from The Witcher and other games, CD Projekt RED explains Geralt is not out to kill as many people as he can. There are many missions which will require nonviolent solutions. CD Projekt RED's focus is for Geralt to make meaningful choices.

These meaningful choices will affect the outcome of the game. However, The Witcher 3 will not have branching storylines. CD Projekt RED wanted everyone to experience a single cohesive main storyline as it is.

There will be NPC monsters. Sometimes, you will interact with them in some of your missions.

"The Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt" will be released on February 24th, 2015, to Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. You can watch the full youtube interview below
