This page is a giant advertisement. You can't just "cite" a forum post that pastes a press release and call it good. LOL JK that is exactly what you can do! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.139.48.109 ( talk) 05:34, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Linux support was never confirmed for the Witcher 3. All sources used are speculative and use the poster which appeared on the front page of Steam. That poster was removed since, and the preorders available through Steam and GOG don't mention Linux and SteamOS in particular at all. Therefore Linux availability should be removed from the article. Official confirmations from CD Projekt Red, GOG or Valve could clarify the matter. -- Bahaltener ( talk) 04:58, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Shouldn't it be menioned that plot has stronger connection to original Sapkowski's book series than earlier games, including introducing character of Ciri who was secondary protagonist in the books, and giving bigger focus to the Wild Hunt, who were antagonists of some books in the series? 46.112.104.107 ( talk) 21:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Look at the cover, they've decided to go with Roman in the end (dumb decision, by the way). — Preceding unsigned comment added by TVippy ( talk • contribs) 21:53, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
GOG.com din't sell 690,000 copies yet. The source says: "...almost 700 thousand gamers worldwide have gone with GOG Galaxy as their monster-huntin’ platform - more than all other PC options combined". Plese remember that Box versions of Witcher 3 are activated through GOG (not Steam as is the case with other games) and are included in this number. We may not tell how many copies was sold by GOG, but it's probably many times less than by Steam. Also we may not tell that "...Witcher 3 was the best-selling video game in the UK in 2015 as of 26 May 2015". The source says it was "...the biggest UK release of the year so far". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.76.125.255 ( talk) 19:59, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
The story section is absurdly long and recent edits are making it worse. I'm restoring an old version which is a better template for editors to improve upon. Please read WP:PLOT, WP:PLOTSUM, and WP:WAF before attempting to rewrite the story section. It is meant to be summary, not a written adaptation of the game. -- The1337gamer ( talk) 15:39, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
I have a better summary. This is as short as its going to get. This plot is VERY complex, so a longer summary is needed for this game. -- Texasgoldrush 29 June 2015
The plot section is far too long and way too dense. It needs to be reduced to half the current length, cut out side quests and only focus on the specific detail that will explain the main story to the reader. Other games just as large as this have managed it; and achieved GA and Featured status. I know removing stuff can feel wrong, but after doing it myself I know that the end result is the correct one. - X201 ( talk) 08:28, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
The genre "high-fantasy" is entirely misleading. While there is some traditional fantasy elements in the game, there are too many dark themes and horror elements in the game to call this a high-fantasy. Even the protagonist is regarded as a "mutant" or "monster" by the story, and is morally ambiguous. The dark atmosphere, war-time plot, and low-tone atmosphere also attribute to this. This is hardly something that needs to be referenced by the personal opinions of other sources but a question of a solid definition of the genre and what styles the game actually contains.
