User reviews and other self-published sources are unreliable and not mentioned in Wikipedia articles (unless called to attention in a secondary source, wherein the secondary source would be cited). per WP:VG/USERREVIEW --The1337gamer (talk) 10:00, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

If this game is "considered to be one of the greatest games of all time" or even the badly worded "considered one of the greatest role-playing games" it needs to have sources and statements in the article proper backing it up.
If it's really as great as it's made out to be, it should be easy enough to find them.  I haven't look myself because I've never played this game, nor have any great opinion on it.  I only have an opinion on unsupported claims in the lede of articles.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 20:28, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

WP:CITELEAD says that citations are not required in the lead, so check the respective reception section for the sources. It also has 10 citations on the very wikilink you added the CN tag on that could be used in this article as well. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 20:33, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Per recent discussions ([1] [2] [3]) on standalone accolades lists, I think List of accolades received by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt should be merged back into this article. The table is far too short to warrant a separate article per WP:SPLIT. The relevant guideline is at WP:VG/AWARDS. Axem Titanium (talk) 23:58, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

That's not a screenshot, that's a promo shot; it was included in Official Fan Kit. There should be an interface, too.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by HeadsOff (talk • contribs) 05:40, 9 March 2022 (UTC) 

is this File:Witcher3Detail.png allowed? The game is not open sourced, so why should screenshot be cc-by-sa? Artem.G (talk) 10:10, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

I read this in the article. 
"The game's story has three possible endings, determined by the player's choices at key points in the narrative."
Yet here I read that there are 36 possible endings and other sources give different amounts.
https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt/Endings
Granted, it says there aren't 36 different endings cutscenes, but maybe it could be explained better what is meant by an ending. Nathematical (talk) 22:54, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

The development section explains that dialogue conversations in the game were “limited to 15 lines, with occasional exceptions, to retain content originality.” The article linked as a source contradicts this, senior writer Kuba Szamałek saying that the team originally operated within a limit of fifteen lines of dialogue per open world quest, often ending up far surpassing this number, leading them to argue the extra lines, often doubling or tripling the limit, were worth the effort and money to include. The fifteen line limitation was breached many times over, to the point where it seems more like Szamałek is talking about early design principles/framework than what ended up making the final game, as the wiki currently has it stated.
