Every video I have seen has some horrid culling and pop in issues. Is this being optimized? Because holy poo poo it's terrible.

I dunno, what with the almost certain time travel implications of the end of the first game I don't see why they wouldn't include it more if they wanted to. And really it isn't about referencing the first game for it to make sense, all they need to say is "sources can now also time travel. ok? ok." and I think most people would get it.

I don't know but it wouldn't necessarily be apart of the main quest and therefore be something that must be explained. I'm not expecting it or really anything to with Alvin to show up in the game but it's in the realm of possibility.

I thought they just put Alvin into W1 because they didn't want to introduce that whole Ciri dynamic but wanted to play around with her time travel powers anyway.

TW1 is a bunch of callbacks to the books with a surprisingly well done twist snuck in at the end.

Wasn't the first Witcher game built on the same engine as NWN? If I'm remembering that right, I'd just like to take a moment to congratulate CDPR on doing so well with so little and coming so far.

Yeah it's pretty cool how they started from humble beginnings, programming on Slav rock computers. Now they can downgrade with the best of 'em.

Ciri should be 21 but she looks older in the trailers because of the harsh life she's had. The question of course is what she's been up to these 5-6 years, living in other literary worlds. On the other hand Alvin's personality is nothing like Ciri's, and he is also completely different to Pavetta and Calanthe. He was constructed as a random peasant boy who happens to be a Source. quote:One of my favorite things regarding the books and Ciri, is the true origin of the plague. I love that poo poo!

How is the combat in this game going to be handled this time around? I am getting Witcher 3 for free cause of a videocard deal and I want to like it because hey free, but I found witcher 2's combat to be atrociously boring and easy.

I guess she must have considering her dodge in the game is a teleport. So who knows how old she actually is, she could have just gone back in time.

Pigbottom posted:I know they stated already that they are originaly a pc dev and all, but the fact that nobody has been able to try the game with kb+m yet makes me feel terribly uneasy. I assume it's less an afterthought and more about needing the console controls polished and done before 'going gold.' The PC version would've had at least a couple of extra weeks.

The assumption of the other one being Triss is merely a product of my wild imagination, but but, the woman on the left is wearing the very same bra top as Yennefer in that unicorn scene. At least the patterns on them seem to match. I have studied these pixels.

Yeah the way I've heard it described is that CDProject bough the rights to the characters/world because they really liked them and wanted to make games with them, not because they wanted to continue or retell the story or anything like that.

Dark_Swordmaster posted:Really? I was under the impression they were an alternate timeline to the books essentially. No, they most definitely take place after the events of the final book. Stuff from the books features in the games, characters from the books appear, recognize Geralt, and make references to events from the books, they just give Geralt amnesia in order to acclimate players who haven't played the books. To spoil the end of the book series, Geralt is killed by a mob of humans while defending a group of dwarves, I believe it was. The games take place after this, with most people assuming Geralt died, but he wakes up with amnesia, which is cured by the end of Witcher 2 Turin Turambar posted:They are an "alternate timeline" in the sense they aren't "canon", for the author the story is the one he wrote in the books, that's it.

Sapkowski really should stop writing, he's terrible now. But he also delivered one of the best and most comprehensive books on fantasy as a genre, from the earliest legends to XX century. iCe-CuBe. posted:Polish people in general are those things. Classy.

From watching the Gamespot vid on character creation/animating, I believe technically you could put any of the hair styles in the game on Geralt's model. Wether that's an option though is yet to be seen.

I just hope they take witcher sense off the L3 button, I've lost count of the number of times I've gotten frozen in place caressing my amulet while something chops me to pieces because I got a little too frantic trying to dive away from that something and clicked the stick in by accident.
