Did you know that in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt there are a number of methods worth exploiting for quick coin? Some of these exploits, for example, involve players harvesting large quantities of hides and pearls for gold.
CD Projekt RED know that players are using these exploits, and with the introduction of a new expansion for the game, called Hearts of Stone, have introduced a solution of sorts.
What solution, you may be asking? Well, in the new expansion, for all your money making schemes a tax man is beset upon you.
YouTuber WhatsMyGame posted this video showing his playthrough of Hearts of Stone and the exact moment he’s interrupted by the aforementioned tax collector.
The tax collector knows about all your undeclared income and the means you used to get it.
He knows about all your actions, using the exploits, including killing cows around White Orchard, stocking up on pearls, and he wants to deal some punishment, which is a huge fine might we add.
However, it must be noted that your judgement isn’t necessarily set in stone. The tax collector will actually question you about whether you’re guilty of your crimes or not.
There’s an opportunity for a special “reward” for being honest with the tax collector.
Whilst other studios would rush to patch such exploits and criticise gamers, CD Projekt RED has found a creative and enjoyable way to deal with these exploits.
