Witcher 3 devs “opened” a system that would prevent Jerlat from swimming – until he took off all his coach before.
Since the CD Project is continuing to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Red Vitcher 3, the studio has shown an idea that seems to have ended on the floor of the room very quickly during development. The studio said in a tweet, “We played with the idea of a mechanic where Jerlat enters the water if it enters a fully prepared water.”
If you wanted to swim, Geralett “will have to take down and leave your coach and weapons to the coast.” The CDPR asked, “Community or a little realistic?”

I would say that the answer is almost certainly the latter – if this concept does not make it ‘with the idea’ in the past, I also think that Davis himself did not like the mechanic especially. Although I can see that the quick working for quick dips to bring cache in the shallow river, it will quickly become painful when moving somewhat further. And how will it work for a deep sea detection, or a inquiry in which the underwater water disappears for minutes at a time?
Interestingly, this particular idea has some historical ideology. At the end of the 12th century, some accounts of the death of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barberosa claim that, tired of a long ride, stepped into a river to cool into the full coach. It loses weight, it is said that he was drowned, in a beautiful makrooh destiny for a emperor.
Whether Barberosa’s death has really diminished or not, but it is enough to say that it does not seem to be the most entertaining game play mechanic in the world, and I think I am glad that the CDPR has left it – when they did so – if not just like this in Vachar 4.
CDPR Davis has been shut down in Vacher 4 that he is accidentally using his new control scheme while playing another game.
