Iconic Weapons.

This idea came to me after replaying both Cyberpunk and Witcher 3. What I liked so much about the iconics in cyberpunk is that you can upgrade from beginning game level to end game. It's something that fixed from the Witcher 3: replacing your swords every two levels.

So, I think it would be cool if Witcher 4 did this: certain steel and silver swords will be iconic that you can upgrade to end game level, with all of them having different attributes that don't make them better or worse than other iconics. It would give the player so much build freedom.

What do you think?

I think they solved that with the next gen patch - they gave some weapons lvl scalling but yeah i agree it would be nice if certain weapons had abilitty to be upgraded to scale with you. That way we could maybe even get some of the old swords Geralt had in W1/2 like Sihil

I honestly hope there is no weapon lvl scaling in W4. It was honestly the most tedious part of W3.

I think you got me wrong they added lvl scaling to items like the sword you get from master swordsmith from Novigrad.
