oh what have you done, I had this kind of topic on here before and it was the same thing "I wanna clear it all out" Honestly I think with the tool set we can make respawns. For those of us who understand just because you clear what you see...does not mean you have eliminated everything,nor does it mean more will just move in.
Now seriously to those of you who are just down right stuck in the mud over this, that respawns will break the game.. do you honestly plan on just playing the game once..rushing to the end and being done? Dunno about you all.. but when I get a game I love just exploring around. Plus with the turn based combat on here~ super excited to just roam around killing monsters.
Also from my understanding the game is open ended, meaning once you complete the final task you can keep roaming around. Bet that is when the forums will be flooded with the same people here not wanting respawns going "Am bored, make a new expansion" a week or so after release.
Unless the game was a loot-fest or very small I have generally had very little urge to revisit cleared areas. There generally is no point to do so. If the evil-skeleton spawning wizard living in the creepy castle is dead all that will be left a few weeks from when you cleared it is an empty castle... (unless some bandits moved in or something, but that's not respawning...)
If the game is set up in a good way non-respawning monsters will not be an issue. It never was in The Witcher, or BG, or KotOR (1 & 2), or VtM: Bloodlines...
On that note, The Witcher (the first Witcher, that is, the combat in the second sucked so hard I gave up halfway through chapter 1) didn't have respawns (none at all, every monster was either there, or spawned due to a quest trigger) so I'm not sure how it could have made the game tedious.
