Witcher 3 - Complex Plot & Twists

The Examiner has a few quotes from CD Projekt RED about The Witcher 3 plot. The article is very short, but might be of interest to some of you.

Like any well told story, CD Projekt Red doesn’t want to overwhelm players with too much information. To ensure that this doesn’t happen, Krzemiński says that the bigger parts of the story will be disclosed to the player as they advance through the game. One of the reasons behind this approach is because the game’s story is said to be “pretty complex”. Find Krzemiński’s full comment on the story and its structure below:

"It’s pretty complex. We don’t make the mistake of swamping gamers with a ton of info and leaving them to deal with it, instead, we’re unveiling parts of the bigger story as they proceed."

In addition to a complex main story arc, The Witcher 3 will throw a lot of twists and turns at players. Apart from these unexpected storyline twists, players can also expect numerous side stories featured in each side-quest. Some of these side stories and quests may not be tied to or related to the main story arc directly, but they will deepen the overall experience one has with the game. Krzemiński says that the side-quests and side stories will give the game’s world greater credibility and offer extra material about what you experience from the main story. Find his full explanation below:

"You can expect a lot of twists, yes, but you can also count of a myriad of side stories, we give you with each side-quest. These might not be related to the main story arc directly, but they greatly enrich the general experience, give the world a ton of credibility, and provide further information about what you experience in the main story arc."
