As much as I like CDPR, this circle-jerk needs to end. They're a company like any other, and they've made a bunch of mistakes with TW3.
They said that we would get the full REDKit modding tool shortly after launch. It's been a year, and all we have is the limited MODKit, which isn't very good.
They said that TW3 would be coming to SteamOS and Linux. It's been a year, and every time it gets brought up, the question is dodged. I have no idea how they thought they'd do this, as TW3 uses HLSL shaders. Converting those to SPIR-V for Vulkan isn't easy.
They said, as late as Jan 2015,
that there would be no visual downgrade, and that players would be able
to achieve VGX and SoD graphical fidelity. As of Jan 2015, the renderer had been changed for at least half a year already, so they knew that wasn't true, but they said it anyway.
They said that the Wild Hunt and Eredin would not be some ancient evil, but a memorable antagonist and Geralt's personal nemesis. Eredin's 5 minutes of screen time and 11 one liners of dialogue were memorable, in the worst way possible.
They said that Iorveth would be a main character and that the Scoia'tael would have a big role in the game. Yeah... the Scoia'tael are absent outside of a minor short quest, and we
know that a bunch of content got cut very late.
