So I'm not holding my breath that this game will be any different. Personally, I just want access to the Witcher's map-editor. Not to create new levels and adventures; I just want to create a new world, Minecraft creative-style. I want to see my imaginings realized in beautifully rendered 3D using the game resources. Sadly, Projekt Red (the developers) apparently does not intend to support modding so these tools are unlikely to be forthcoming.
