"This is literal dehumanizing of people of color. We are relegated to non-human species, whose treatment is supposed to mimic real-world racist policies. This sci-fi/fantasy trope of dealing with racism by showing inter-species treatment could work — if all the humans weren't white."
The writer needs to speak for him or herself. I didn't feel that way at all while playing any of The Witcher games. Plenty of other games have black characters. Yeah I make my characters black in Skyrim & Fallout because the option is there and Elder Scrolls has a black race in their game world.
However, I don't need "colored people" shoe-horned into every game especially if the game takes place in a a setting like The Witcher or Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
@Legend_of_Link: The only thing I dislike about minimal HUD is not seeing which weapons I've just picked up. I wish they would've given us the option to remove specific things from the HUD.
@navyguy21: I've been slowly learning that the hard way. When I lock on to an enemy, I get attacked from behind with melee & ranged attacks. I've always enjoyed combat in the previous games but this new combat system is definitely a welcome change.
@jasperwest: I usually read (or re-read) a book before I watch the movie but in this case I'm not going to. I think I'll be less disappointed that way.
