Don't forget, after they killed the first boss, the companion dude calls the boss a pussy. Where's the outrage??

I own all three Witcher games, love reading the Witcher stories, and have watched people LP the Witcher games, but I can't play any of them for more than 10 minutes because I just can't get to grips with the 3rd person perspective in combat. I just flail around like a drunken sailor. So if this game is 1st person, I'm buying it and playing the hell out of it. If it's 3rd person, I will probably buy it, flail around for 10 minutes, then go find a Twitch stream or YT Let's Player and have done.

Have you tried them with a controller? I know it has helped others that can't quite come to grips with a third person view with KB&M. I think there's also a first person mod for W3, although I can't speak to its quality

This game is apparently fully first person (as he states in the gameplay trailer), however there seems to be a third person camera option for driving which is fine. The report from E3 that this game was first person was very good news to me. I replayed nearly all of GTA 5 in first person as well and found it to be a much more enjoyable experience.
TW3 I played fully with a controller. I felt it was way too "loose" with KB+M, much more enjoyable with a controller. Highly recommend trying that if you haven't.

I think given cyberware is a pretty major thing a lot of the fancier cyberware make more sense to show in first person mode than third person. Given the setting it makes a fair amount of sense to do FPS mode for this game.

I remember when I first played Morrowind, i almost didn't buy the game because of the first person view - what a mistake that would have been, as that has to be one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. I prefer third typically, but think this lends itself well to first. VR GOOOOOOOOOO

I was not a fan of Witcher 3. Just wasn't my style as I really don't like narrative driven games (among other things). Watching this demo has me hyped, but I'm hoping it's more open ended. Meaning I liked the story of gangster dude wanting a robot and the chick going on a mission to get it, and all of the story beats that intertwined in said mission. I like that, but I really hope there is not some heavy handed "main mission" and I hope places respawn and repopulate. Someone already alluded to this, but I hope the itemization is deep enough to handle a world of this size and scope as well.

It might have more open world opportunities (lol at the idea of witcher 3 not being open enough?) but I think you're going to be disappointed if you don't want an important main mission narrative.

It will probably have a main mission, but hopefully it will be similar to Skyrim. I think that game nailed it on the head when it came to main missions in open ended games. You had to do, what? 2 hours of maim mission to unlock the full potential of your character, probably less if you bee-lined it (I'm talking about getting to High Hrothgar to learn the way of the shout). After that, you could do whatever you wanted. I had probably over 100 hours in Skyrim before I decided to "finish the game", which I did by cheating (god mode) and just bee-lined to the end just to see it. Playing normally I only ever got to the Thalmor Embassy quest, and since it bugged out for me at the time I just explored the world and did everything else. Good times.
