CD Projekt admits one of the main flaws of The Witcher 3’s open world

The question-marked interests that covered the map were one of the most criticized aspects.

While there are many requests to know what’s new in the new chapter of the saga, CD Projekt Red In a post to mark the twentieth anniversary of the work, they reviewed the team’s work with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and left us with some interesting clarifications.

During the direct broadcast on the company’s YouTube channel, Philip WeberThe mission designer for the third episode, and now the campaign director for the fourth episode, admitted that he was partially responsible for one of the most criticized aspects of The Witcher 3’s open world: question marks on the map.

They were not intended to have an icon on the mapPhilip Weber“I freely admit that I am one of those people who put question marks in the world,” says Weber. “It was the end of 2014, so It wasn’t long before launch and we filled the world with them“, he explains, the countless points of interest that pop up almost overwhelmingly.

“We had to and we didn’t do it perfectly, but I have a defense,” he continues. “I’ve made a bunch of these horrible smuggler caches but we actually put a few seagulls on them so you can explore them for yourself, they weren’t meant to have an icon on the map. […] I agree that this is a mistake. i wouldn’t do it again‘, he concludes.

The next innovations of the wizard saga will come with the next-gen version scheduled for release after a delay in its release. this is the end of 2022. At some point then we should see what the plans are for The Witcher 4 (although it probably won’t be called that) which is currently in development and will use Unreal Engine 5 as its engine.
