That said, the developer also wants less of learning curve that was required in the Witcher 2.<\/p>\n<p>The combat and immersion will be highlighted in the Witcher 3, as CD Project Red are emphasising the mechanics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe combat system has been highly refined and improved, making it much more responsive,\u201d said CD Project Red.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mechanics of The Witcher 3 allow complete player immersion, with no Quick Time Events &#8211; only intuitive RPG gameplay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stealth will also play a more central role, as players can distract guards with a hornet\u2019s nest or other objects in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Players can also customise their own unique Geralt, and even head to the barber to give Geralt a good trimming.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the new screens
