First time in a long time I remember nvidia having serious issues at a launch of a game. Most of the time its ATI, especially with their crossfire stuff (which can take weeks or months after release for them to get around releasing a driver to support).

Everyone seems to be focusing on resetting your combat skills...
Why wouldn't you just reset the easily trainable crafting skills -- and then you can use the perks gained from those to fill out your other trees?
I don't powergame enough in Skyrim to know how the level up formula works exactly... but pretty sure you could just keep increasing in level by resetting nothing but the crafting skills? I mean at some point you eventually hit a spot where you've got nothing really to spend money on anyway.

I think you're misinterpreting their use of the term "neutral." They mean that the game doesn't have a binary morality system and that there are no clear good or evil choices. The choices you make are morally ambiguous. You are still forced to make choices, however, so you can't remain truly neutral.

The not-an-entire-continent-of-snow setting, perhaps?!

Oblivion was rolling hills of ice? And Morrowind was all hills full of ash too right? Hell even Skyrim isn't full of snow, maybe 20-25% if you don't count the mountains.

Yeah I don't understand this point.

What I don't really seem to understand is why they have to go for the Skyrim setting. Sure, they have to follow the books.. which I guess is a good enough reason -- but still.

Skyrim setting? What would you prefer, the Crysis setting?

Oh god, not another game with Geralt, doing fake neutral quests. Why, oh why would such a talented studio keep torturing themselves and fans with this false narrative. I dislike my game narratives being based on lies...remember Abigail or when we had to decide between Shani and Triss (chap 3). Oh then being forced to choose between the Order of the Flaming Rose and Scoia'tael at the bank was just as stupid. These are some really fucking neutral choices, thanks CD Projekt Red!

On the whole their quests are creative and fit nicely in the world. However this bullshit pretending they are neutral is ridiculous. Their neutral quests are possibly the worst in the gaming industry. Some of the best RPGs (and movies, yojimbo) ever created are based on NOT being forced to choose between two sides.

It's not like I don't care about this franchise, I've said since the release of the first Witcher, this is a terrible idea. They should/could have made the story about the player being a newly discovered Witcher in an open world (or hub base) game. The player wandering the world, doing quests. Trying to learn about being a Witcher and Geralt's adventures could have easily been used as backstory and lore.

Don't even get me started on QTE!

This is the fault of CD Projekt Red, they constantly advertise neutrality but never offer it.
