In fact, make that universal to every game.

Make gwent the main game
But seriously,very few things i would change. Maybe would have made a skill tree like the first Witcher with interesting mutagens

You still have a "written" character male and female could even keep the script the exact same. YOu'd just be able to completely alter how they look and their abilities based on the schools.
It's not rocket science to do both.
To extrapolate on this, Geralt has a lot of choices in his games especially 3 that could be seen as defining his character that are optional and/or can affect different outcomes in things like letting people die and the like. Just because he had a set name didn't mean you weren't already given control. I'm just saying we should go all the way
More immediate controls in connection with visual feedback. Combat hasn't been my issue with the game, it's the responsiveness of everything though.
I went back to it a few months ago to play more Hearts of Stone and finally play Blood & Wine. This is after a year plus away. I couldn't do it. Why can't Geralt move when I move him? It's like riding a horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 except for literally everything you do. It makes no sense.

I'd love this, honestly.
It sounds like Cyberpunk's Gunplay is its weakest aspect too... A shame because CDPR is so good doing world building.
If I'm limited to making only one change, I'd make the game first-person.
I have many issues with the game which have prevented me from making much progress into it despite repeated attempts, but I think it all starts with the game being third-person.
I don't get drawn into a game or immersed in its world when viewed from a pulled-back third-person perspective, and can barely stand to play it for an hour or two let alone 50–200 hours.
There are mods which put the game in a first-person perspective, but as with most third > first person mods, you still have the janky third-person movement holding everything back, so you can't really play the game like that even if it makes for some nice videos.

I wouldn't say absolute necessity as I didn't need them when I got higher level and larger amount of potions.
And as you said it's only used often on higher difficulties. I had hundreds if not thousands of them by the time I'm playing Blood and Wine.
Great game play instead of below average game play.
-close second is the encumbrance system and all the junk item acquiring.

I know it's almost a meme to want platinum doing everything now, but this would sell me on it. Most WRPGs feel so sluggish to me but this would have me sold on giving it a go. Imagine that world but with great and tight combat.
They made Thronebreaker and there is a kind of a mod for that on PC.
Mine's a little different, I want even more interesting locations that add to the lore or feel unique. New Vegas somewhat does this despite its heavy asset reuse (I'm sure other Bethesda games do too but I'm not as a big as a fan so I'm not too familiar with them). To give a couple of examples of what I mean, you could explore and find a vault where you would learn what happened to its residents, and then come across some ruins where the robots still give tours for the space company that was housed there. Doing great quests and finding unique locations like that made exploring New Vegas a treat and while TW3 does the first well, it could be better. BOTW's sequel could learn from this too as in my opinion, it was even worse and as a result I didn't really enjoy exploration as much as I thought I would.

Better combat. Witcher 3 was only a 6-7/10 for me because the combat was absolutely abysmal. That and hopefully remove witcher vision or something. It's no fun just having witcher vision activated the whole game.
Since I can only have one it would be to either have a) combat with more depth and weight or b) significantly improved enemy variety and design (which I thought W3 was quite lacking in)
100% agree. I don't want a 'create your own Witcher'. Folks can have that for their Elder Scrolls but leave my predefined, established characters alone for this series.
This is a great suggestion and one I feel is almost a given considering the changes they made to the REDengine to acommodate the increase in verticality (amongst other things) in Cyberpunk 2077

Same! I actually downloaded it in early May to play it again, but that was when the Witcher 3 on Switch rumors began to surface, so I figured I'd wait. Now it's coming, and I'll just play it then when I manage to get it there, but it's really hard not to throw myself into it now lol.
I expect most would say combat and quest design and that's completely fair and valid.
Main thing I want is a different timeline and set of characters. Youve done Geralts story, it'd be a waste of an IP to stick around with his group of friends instead of using that IP to come up with brand new characters and explore a timeline you have a bit more freedom to do what you want.

I did say most. Contracts can keep it, find another gimmick for side and main quests.
I was so bummed out when I didn't get to play Post game Witcher 3 with Ciri as a side kick.
Keep encumbrance but make it a big ass backpack you can instantly drop when you enter combat or hook up to horse or pay NPCs to carry back to your stash or something. You know, something actually interesting.
Nah thats dumb.

I would remove the retreading of the books in a heart beat. So many story beats and small quests are taken straight outta the book series but given a new coat of paint. Would much rather see new stuff in this fan fiction world.
This would be awesome idea to do for an online witcher game(many probably dont want this). Maybe they take influence from RDR2 and have a separate online mode. Ciri could be the playable character for the single player story.
Jesus Christ, you didn't have to kill the thread so fast. Damn.
Less sex stuff. It was totally unnecessary and I could never understand why 'progressive' twitter gamer types thought it was so edgy and cool and #woke. It was super male gazey and just lame.
That would be pretty lore breaking. Women can't be Witchers.
And I for one would like them to keep the predefined character, just not Geralt, but let you choose your Witcher School.
Ciri as MC please, Geralt's time is over. Outside of that tighten up the combat a bit, don't care much about other things like verticality etc. Oh make Gwent an even larger part of the game, that shit is so good.
