We have not given you a story. We have intentionally lured you into thinking of this as a fairly typical fantasy RPG. Guess what? We don't like those either. We are of a skeptical nature and when faced with the usual fantasy claptrap, much like an inquisitive child, our answer is simply "but why?". There is lots of because in our world. We have taken what appears to be generic fantasy and given it a whole new twist. A lot of effort has gone into this and to reveal it would be to throw it all away. We hold it more dear than the funds we are trying to raise. If by not revealing it we fail in securing your support, then so be it.

Fast alle meiner Lieblingsspiele wie Limbo, Assassin's Creed 1, Alien: Isolation, Amnesia, haben eine lineare Geschichte, Welt und Gameplay. Aber in Rollenspiele hat Linearität mMn absolut nichts verloren, in keinerlei Hinsicht. Wenn es dafür keine Story gibt, kann ich gut damit leben. Mit einem Witcher 3 du kannst mich, wie schon öfters angedeutet, jagen.
Mein Enthusiasmus dem Spiel gegenüber basiert eher auf dem was sie bereits erreicht haben und im Spiel zu sehen ist. Wenn ein einziger ambitionierter Entwickler eigenhändig und von Grund auf eine solch beeindruckende Physikengine inkl. Kampf, Renderer, Soundsystem und Wegfindungssytem erstellt dabei noch an den Levels, Modellen, Texturen, Materialien, Sounds, Geschichte, usw. arbeitet... dem traue ich alles zu was er verspricht.

It takes 5 minutes to complain, not to communicate clearly and in a compelling format to a large community. This is the typical oversimplifying and understimating the work that goes into things. Nevermind when you're already massively overworked.
Hype can be a bad thing, it almost always is in my book, and it's littered with pitfalls. What you might consider "good enough" is an excellent reason to complain for someone else. It's very difficult to commit to immediate goals with the community without placing unnecessary constaints on development, and otherwise to make reliable statements on progress. We wish we were that clear on progress ourselves. We work on the game and when features are ready for public consumption they're basically ready for release. We don't want to tell you what you should be excited about or try to manage your expectations. Fluff something up when it doesn't even work yet, show off something that may be disappoining or worse than advertised when released, regardless of whether we think you'll notice the difference.
We don't know how things will work out until we've done them, or even if they'll survive testing at all. For every success there's a hundred fails and dead ends. Doing things for this game is almost without exception very complicated and without precedents. We work on a huge number of different things at once, most of which don't even have any bearing on the next update. Our work is very rewarding and we love it, but it's work, it's hard and it's tedious, not some kind of amusing film montage. We don't expect players to understand what we go through to get to the results they see, we certainly don't...

heutzutage kann eine AI in Games prima mit "if/then/else" umgehen, sie kann prima zufällige Entscheidungen treffen, sie kann auch Entscheidungen auf Basis bestimmter "Fakten" treffen. Sie kann aber keine Entscheidungen treffen, wenn sie quasi die Frage gar nicht versteht.

Da muss ich widersprechen. Das ist ja, neben vielen anderen Dingen, was Sui Generis besonders macht. NPCs versuchen Dinge (Orte, Personen, Gegenstände, Mechanismem, ...) tatsächlich zu verstehen, wie sie funktionieren und wozu sie da sind.

We dislike linear story, we hate linear story, no, we truly despise linear story. If you asked us what is as pleasant as being poked in the eye, we'd have to answer "linear story"

1) Help the distressed peasant now
2) Help the distressed peasant later
3) Help the distressed peasant reluctantly
That is not role playing. We don't know what it is, but we don't like it.
