What did CDPR themselves promise that isn’t in the game?

I recall a lot of promises about how you would need to replay the game 3 times because each background you chose would completely alter the game, from beginning to end.

Pretty sure it got the mass effect 3 ending treatment, no?

No, the endings diverge pretty drastically. Some even have entirely different end missions.

If you have a quote with them saying that about the backgrounds I’d be interested tho - the backgrounds are pretty much solely for some additional flavor dialogue, nothing more.

Wall running

That was a functioning feature in the game when they were working on it, that they removed because it caused issues. That was an active choice on their part - not something they lied about.
