I am posting this without ANY negativity - it is all right and we can surely wait or play as it is.

After considering free dlc's, patches, stability issues fixes, bugs fixes etc I see that game is under development still, which is disguised as "patching and free dlc program" <3

It is a nice move and I see no problem with it - it is like they released early access. And other pieces of a game are beeing released)

So I bought it, looked at it, read the forums and will proceed to wait for when they will finish the game)

Have you finished the game by chance? It's nice if you can narrow down your issue so people can help.

I have to disagree. The game is fairly beyond a playable state, comparing it with early access products would be an insult (please, take a look at DayZ in Steam, for example). Remember that the developers had to delay the release not once, but twice, in order to polish it as much as they could. This patching process is pretty common in this kind of games, where possibilities are huge and almost every behavior can cause some kind of bug. It is almost impossible to forecast them and fix them without the support of a community. A good example of this is TESV Skyrim. It is true that bugs and crashes may be tedious, and they can discourage the average player, but they (at least the bugs, can't really talk about the crashes) are part of almost every open world game. I remember having similar issues with The Shadow of Mordor, awesome game by the way. Now, concerning the DLC program, it is true that they could simply release the 16 DLC with the game, but releasing a few per week is a good way to keep the game alive and extend its duration for us, gamers. I already finished the game once, and I'm looking forward to do it again with the rest of the DLCs.

TBreaker20: I have to disagree....
I see your point - and yeah, game's much more ready then early access crap, but it feels like i have to wait until they implement all the pieces of the game. E.G. I found there is no storage in the game, and they "patched" that IN in witcher2.

And I don't want to go into nexus and rudely reconstruct the game, so I have to wait until they make a storage. I can NOT play.

Plus, some DLC add more playing the game - like for instace Dawnguard for Skyrim. BUT new hairstyles? Outfit? New mission? Possibly the storage dlc? Ehm... what else could it be? I WANT IT ALL in the game from the very first minute of a gamepley. I don't want to suddenly get this things during gameplay - that is weird.

Like if they add the storage with 10th DLC - and I am dropping my stuff near a signpost - it's like what the hell happened? It ruins the immersion for me...

No, that's the point - I started the game, and now I personally have to wait. Wait untilt it is complete.

What's your criteria in defining the state of Witcher 3 as finished and polished?
W3 is definitely playable. It's finished, but not that polished.

You do understand that it was a conscious design decision NOT to include storage in the game? It is not there because they didn't want it to be there.

as it was in witcher 2, the storage system is NOT (yet) in witcher 3 only because this particular aspect of the game is not ready to be implemented. And it will be, when it is due according to the development schedule.

That is what I mean by "they continue to develop".

Cause what you are saying - is that they intentionally DID NOT want that element to be in the release. But something later changed their mind?

p.s. is there noone who agrees with me? Oo this is all so obvious((

AGAIN i am NOT complaining. Just waiting. For them to finish)))

That is only your assumption, it is not necessarily a fact even if it is dead obvious to you. I would never even consider putting a storage system in this game as you simply don't need it. Sure it is convenient for hoarders, but let's face it, you will never use 99% of what you loot anyway, so storing all that shit is really counterproductive.

Customer feedback might have changed their mind as I'm sure the storage system is quite simple to implement (if not already).
I don't think they'll implement storage since there's no need. They already implemented horse bags which allowes more space. I won a good one at horse races.

I think they might do storage space. I mean, they are getting rid of some candles around chests because of fan outcry, why not implementing storage space too? I agree there is little need for it though.
No need for storage since everything weighs 0.01 now except weapons and armor.
Don't carry around 20 rusty battleaxes, looted armor is pointless after the tutorial since the green ones you craft are always superior.

My crafting ingredients + used weapons/armor alone weigh around 60 whatever unit of weight... So that leaves me another 30 to put other stuff in it. Not too much if you ask me.

You mean the crafting ingredients for crafting the whole palette twenty times over that you never ever going to use anyway?


*************SPOILER
As soon as you get to Novigrad, you can simply buy the best saddlebags in the game, giving you 160 units to fill.
First off: its 'Being'

Second, patches and hotfixes are a part of games today, The witcher is still one of the most polished RPG's i've ever played next to skyrim and the like. The patches are not included in the 16 free dlcs.

16 free dlcs are pretty much totally extra minor fun things like armor sets and asthetic additions that add to the already over flowing content of the game.

No negetivity here, you are just incorrect.

Third:
Peace.
