With all the maps >and manuals in the DVD box set (something you downloader people won't >get which baffles me why someone wouldn't want everything that comes >with a DVD version), I think I was intimidated by that. Just a point of clarification: if you get the game from GOG, you /do/ get maps and manuals, albeit in digital format. Also the official game guide, wallpapers, soundtrack, artbook, development art, "making of" videos, papercraft figures, a comic book and god knows what else they've added since last I looked. I used to be a big fan of hardcopy manuals but these days I prefer a nice PDF I can drop onto my tablet. It has all the portability of a hardcopy (read: I can take it to the can ;-) and it doesn't take up room when I'm done. I've got BOXES of old manuals sitting in the closet. >Okay - am I missing something with these games?

Why isn't there a keyboard layout chart on some nice >reference sheet? Well, in Witcher 3 at least there is an in-game tutorial (press ESC and chose it from the main menu). Or you could just go into options and look at the key bindings. But it's not as if W3 game requires you to memorize an extra-ordinary number of keys: WASD, Q, E, R, F, <esc>, <shift>, <ctrl> and <space> is really the extent of it and five of them (W,A,S,D,E,<esc>) have almost exactly the same functionality as in any other game made in the last ten years :-).
