Did you think about it?


Yes. Yes you did.
The twist will be that this Ciri is actually a Geralt from another dimension where everyone's genders are swapped, Yennifer becomes Yohn and Triss becomes Trad.

Nah, that'd be a lovely twist for multiple reasons, some of which might be spoiler-ish.

Ciri resembles Geralt because like Robutt said, their fates and destiny are intertwined. Sword of Destiny, Child of Prophecy, the coming of the Wolf's Blizzard, all that poo poo.

Yea just to be clear that wasn't meant to be seen as a GOOD thing, just like, what I'm used to in situations like this in games.

Its because we lose them often.

Orv made a new one because this thread's OP washed his hands of it and the game is being released in a couple days, so Orv did the new one with links to videos, articles, and poo poo related to W3coming out.
edit: found the post:

Orv posted:

Section 31 has washed his hands of the OP so I'm gonna take my customary amount of caring too much about something no-one will ever read to a new one. Anything you guys think needs to be in there? Thinking the Killing Monsters and Launch Cinematics, W1 & 2 summary and info posts, nice big lore poo poo on Witcher in general + 3, anything I'm missing?

Section 31 is overseas right now and trying to keep in the dark about Witcher so I made a new OP because this one isn't really anything. Should be closed in the next couple days whey they get time.

And yeah captain psycho has standing Kewpuh orders to keep out so it should hopefully get down to talking about the game.

There is no reason Book Geralt would choose this thread over the other one. I'm not saying you shouldn't post in both threads, but if you're a true roleplayer, you need to post in the other thread over this one.

This is the page of the article it 's on. Under the subheader "Wenige Übernahmen" it roughly says:
If there's one thing that disappoints us about the story, it's this: At the end of the prolog, we can reconstruct only five of our decisions from Witcher 2. And even these five only influence which side characters appear.
The political climate and general story remain unchanged by this. Witcher 1 decisions are completely out of the question; None of them will be imported, even if you imported a W1 save into W2.
At least if you import a W2 save, more than five choices will be imported.

The only thing that would have mattered remotely was Adda or Siegfried and then it's not really that important. And if you didn't play TW2 why would they give you options for decisions you made in TW1, the significantly older and less popular game?

Kinda weird they wouldn't carry over flags that existed in TW2 but whatever.

I don't much care about imported choices. I think there's a difference between external choices (imports) and internal choices (like At the Crossroads). It's the internal choices that I think are good. The problem I had with Mass Effect choices wasn't that the import didn't affect enough stuff, it's that the course of the gameplay was identical regardless of your choices within a game. Have internal choices affect the course of the game and I'm fine with the import only customizing dialogue.

So I never finished my second run through of W2, to see all of the Roche's path jazz. I stopped about halfway through Act 2. Is there a good walkthrough out there so I can just fly through it this evening? I want to have two distinct saves to import for 2 playthroughs if W3.

Is the wild hunt itself something you can just encounter in the game world, or is it always somewhere else until the plot calls for it?

Also I spent up until almost the end of the second game not having a single clue what it actually was. I'm still not 100% sure I know. Angry undead elves or something?
