“Our trademark is the freedom given to the player, but always with limits,” Kalemba tells Lega Nerd

Aye, they try to hype the idea of a main quest line as something that defines their design.

😅

Thinking back I'm not sure I want Witcher 4 to feel more like CP2077, tbh. Less, if anything.

So you don't want the R in RPG, and what you'll get for that is the same generic game over and over again.

What? That isn't what I said at all.

"You don't want to be forced to play a specific role, and that removes the R in RPG" is what they are saying. However, I disagree with them. Real RPGs let you choose your role, ethical alignment, and quirks of behavior. Even older video games like Fallout 3 have that. Being forced to play a specific role is almost antithetical to the concept of RPGs.

Of course, maybe that's not what they meant at all.
