“Our trademark is the freedom given to the player, but always with limits,” Kalemba tells Lega Nerd

Aye, they try to hype the idea of a main quest line as something that defines their design.

😅

Thinking back I'm not sure I want Witcher 4 to feel more like CP2077, tbh. Less, if anything.

CDPR should stop hyping their games so much and just focus on making a good game. Announce and release in a 6 month window.

Maybe they need to hire Larian to consult.

Yeah, the money they are putting in hyping the game would be better spent on development. Don't talk about it to people who aren't involved in making it, just do it. I much prefer the steam early access method where it you think you have a good idea, you release it early on for a cheaper price. Then you see how it does and receive player feedback and iterate from there.

Too much hype can make a game seem worse by raising expectations too high.
