CD Projekt Red explains why youre always poor in The Witcher 3
The sprawling fantasy open-world of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 3 is filled to the gills with intrigue, monsters, an ever increasing list of free DLCs (including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wild Hunt's 📖very own pig d꧋efending exploits) and enough sex scenes to make even Lars von Trier blush, but there's one thing Geralt's a💫dventure isn't overflowing with: cash.
In the latest issue of Edge, the team sat down with senior games designer Damien Monnier and senior quest designer Pawel Sasko from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt RED ไto discuss Geralt of Rivia's final hunt and the conscious decision to make your work hard for those pennies.
Edge: The economy is tightly balanced to ensure you’re never too well off. How did you maintain that? Damien Monnier: It’s very difficult! We didn’t want Geralt to be this multimillionaire that just goes around killing monsters. Ultimately, he does it for money; we really wanted you to try to haggle over prices and get more, because you really need the money.
Pawel Sasko: In the books, Geralt was very poor; he was always struggling for money. It was one of the cool things we wanted to keep. There are a lot of funny stories about our economy. A QA tester came to us like, “I’m level ten, and I have 6,000 gold and have nothing to spend it on,” and we had to work out what🍃 happened. We’d left a door unlocked to a big villa – he’d robbed it and s⭕old all these expensive swords.
