How the fuck has Detective Mode become this popular? How?
Geralt actually has super senses. It makes sense within the context of the game.

Can't get much more spiced up than this http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/ScoopI hope they sneak in some shield usage, maybe some other weapons besides swords. Just to spice things up a bit.
Where did OP get "20% bigger than Skyrim" from?

Each armor piece has unique appearance, new cloth simulation tech.
Barber is in from the get go. Dyeing hair is OUT OF QUESTION, White Wolf.
We'll all have to deal with watching the movie instead.WHY CAN'T HBO DO A WITCHER TV SHOW?
Very glad to see this.- Enemies dont scale to the players level
Hmmm, not sure what this means exactly, but I hope they avoid QTEs for things like boss fights.- The team is deciding between using a handful of in-combat special moves for particular attacks and a slow-motion quick-time event style
I may have clarified. It's in the beginning of the article. The quote is: "The team is challenging itself with the task of creating an open world the team has measured at 20% larger than Skyrim's."
Thank you.High resolution watermarkless version of the cover:

So am I.I like what I'm reading.
WHY CAN'T HBO DO A WITCHER TV SHOW?
Over 100 hours of hand-scripted quests
WHY COULDN'T CD PROJEKT HAVE HANDLED THE GAME OF THRONES RPG. FUCK.
Very glad to see this.

Don't lie to me.
At least there's no level scaling.

Next big update:
So it's saying that they had to change up their design philosophy when developing TW3, due to the open world structure. So NARRATIVE comes in three forms:
Lowest level = free form activities like crafting, monster slaying (seems to be much more extensive this time around) and questing.
Next level = Political situation of Nilfgaardian invastion is resolved through a core plotline for each area. These areas? -> Skellige, Novigrad and No Mans Land!
Final level = Geralt's main plot line, his search for his loved ones, and the chase of the Wild Hunt.
Sounds like a lot of interwoven plotlines, decision making. You can skip things if you really want, but there will be consequences to your actions if you do so.

So more about the monster hunting:
Clues build up information (like a Bestiary perhaps?)
Books garner information about monsters
Townsfolk provide information
Potions and such are important
Time of day and other conditions affect where monsters appear, and their abilities
[Some combat info]
Critical strikes in areas that matter depending on how much you learn about said monster
You can disable a vampires poisoning attack by hitting its venom gland (Vampires are poisonous?) or skewer BOTH ITS HEARTS with a thrust attack (instant kill)
Monsters drop loot like unobtainable alchemical and crafting ingredients for unique potion, mutagen and item crafting.
Provides income as well
Any word on importing a save game from The Witcher 2 or how they'll deal with your past choices?
If its still set in the Northern Kingdoms, I'd imagine they'd have to address some of the things you could have possibly done during TW2. Or I guess they could pull a Shani and write certain things off.
Really? Then who?
If enemies don't scale doesn't that kinda make it hard to explore the world without getting destroyed?
Could not possibly be more excited for this. Best new franchise of the century, and I would rank TW2 as the best RPG of the generation. CDPR are development heroes in my book.
The collection awaits. Room for one more. (Quoted for size.)
You mean coverage.....
