Storylines such as Yennefer imprisoning Geralt on an island and Geralt's covert recruitment to the Wild Hunt were discarded to make the game smaller and avoid splitting it into two parts. The card game Gwent was preceded by other minigame proposals, including a drinking game, knife throwing, and ice skating.[41] A re-enactment of the Battle of Grunwald was recorded for the sounds of battle, marching, blacksmithing, and the firing of arrows. Recording the knights' voices for post-processing, the speakers wore helmets for an authentic sound. Marcin Przybyłowicz was the game's music director and composer, with additional music contributed by Percival, a Polish folk band that plays on reconstructions of medieval instruments.

 If you reach or exceed the Toxicity threshold (by default it's 75), Geralt will start to take small amounts of damage over time.

When you have the shells, proceed to a nearby armorer and dismantle the shells into pearls. You can then sell those pearls for great value.

CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin Iwiński listed three pillars that he considered integral to marketing: game quality, a "gamer-centric value proposition", and communication with fans.
