I had kinda been hoping for a multiplayer aspect for grouping up with a friend or two for shits and giggles, but I guess I can understand not worrying about that at all. Perhaps they will use Witcher 3's (hopeful) success to make a fully open world Witcher where you make your own witcher and oh god what am I saying it would just be a new version of WoW or something that had good graphics.

Strom Cuzewon posted:The flashbacks don't occur in the books. The books end with the Rivian Pogrom and Geralt's apparent death. All the Wild Hunt stuff happens in the ~6 months between that and the first game. Question about this, spoilers just to be safe. The Rivian Pogrom is when non-humans there start getting mass-murdered but then Geralt stands up for some non-humans, gets pitchforked and dies, then he gets revived somehow, the wild hunt stuff happens, then Witcher 1 with Geralt running from wtf with no memories right at the beginning?

Demiurge4 posted:Yeah Geralt is interesting in a game sense because he's an established character in a universe where he's well known but he has amnesia and the player is left to figure out wtf. Someone basically went "Wouldn't it be cool to make a Witcher game?" and they went with the main character and continued a book series instead of making up a new character in the same universe. drat, yeah that is pretty sweet. Probably part of its success of the game. I dislike the "OH MY GOD, <insert name> YOU ARE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SAVE US FROM THIS ANCIENT UNSTOPPABLE EVIL THAT IS GOING TO DESTROY THE WORRRLLLLDDDDDDDD!!!!" games, which the Witcher games, in my opinion, are far from. Strom Cuzewon posted:Yeah, my understanding from the flashbacks is 1265 the war with Nilfgaard ends. September 1268 Geralt takes a pitchfork to the heart in Rivia. Yennefer heals him, and they go to the Isle of Avalach to recover. The Wild Hunt carries off Yennefer, and Geralt chases them halfway across the world. He teams up with Letho, Serrit and Auckes, in 1270 and they confront the hunt, Geralt trading his soul for hers. He escapes them, losing his memory in the process, and Witcher 1 starts with him fleeing them. Witcher 2 is in 1271, and the first game takes place over a couple of months, so he can't have been with the hunt long. Interesting. I wonder how much of this will be explained in Witcher 3. I presume a lot since it will be the culmination of the super-large plot.

The end of my Roche's path was Geralt and Triss just wandering off. I had let Roche kill Henselt, the Dragon got impaled on a log, I killed Letho for being a bitch. The ending was very anticlimactic.

I did that quest when I did Roche's path and never finished my Iorveth's path game because a patch hosed my save....I will definitely have to check it out if I ever retry. Gobblecoque posted:Yeah, I don't know what the gently caress the devs were thinking with that. I'm not sure which cause is worse, that the devs designed the fight like that and actually thought it was good game design, or that it was a bug and somehow the devs have never patched it. On top of potions not working for the fight.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:Yep, still excited about this game. I wonder if there is any significance to "multi-region open world", as opposed to just open world? I think its what Alex314 said. There will probably be a huge region that Novigrad is in, in Redania; but when you sail to the island chain (that I do not know the name of) that is off the coast you will move to a different large open region; then if you go somewhere into Nilfgaardian (sp?) territory it will be yet another different open region, ect. They will be big places with no loading screens leaving the city to go into the countryside or into a castle, but there will be a loading screen to go from Redania to Nilfgaard.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:Speaking of levels, it's kinda funny how Geralt start from scratch in 2 and, presumably, 3, despite being a veteran witcher. I wouldn't want amnesia for every game but it would be cool if some specific skills from 2 carried over to the next game. Throne of Bhaal-style. I hope they expand the skill tree that they had in 2 and let you start off with a bunch of skill points to apply as you see fit (or depend on a loaded save, I guess). So that it does not feel like you are starting from scratch but still have a reason to level. Heck, they could keep the same tree and simply let the player get enough points to have skills in every tree.

Yes, this thread is pretty dead at this point; TW3 is a ways off yet and a thread for it would be mostly pointless because news is intermittent at best and there would probably not be much activity in it, either. I do not know what to tell you about the changes, but I am fairly certain nothing major -including the length of Act 3- changed. edit: people are posting Witcher 3 news in here when it pops up, though, so if you are looking for stuff on it keep the thread bookmarked and watch for activity.

"I am going to read into one screenshot of an unreleased game really hard." Ravenfood you do have a good point but if you played Witcher 2 you would know that most opponents do not have that much armor on, and we have literally zero context about that screenshot. Also some plating on the upper arms and torso does not necessarily mean "full plate". Leb posted:They've said as much, in fact; your saddlebags will replace/supplement the innkeeper's storage that was patched into W2. This is awesome.

steinrokkan posted:I suppose I would appreciate a Witcher game that was just about Geralt roaming around the countryside and solving smaller but well-developed cases more than I do enjoy the grand-plot approach they have taken. I am actually kind-of surprised that they have not said that they would do a 4th Witcher game where you get to make your own Witcher and it would have the ability to do multiplayer co-op with friends and be able to chose to go into a part of the world where there is PvP. It would also be possible to go purely single player, though. I think it is a great setting for it but the idea has been kinda beaten to death. And it would be hard to balance.

Ice Fist posted:If there is one developer that delivers on a promise like this, it's this one. Prolly the only developer I have any faith in at all. Ditto. I am holding off on getting a new computer now, so I can have a better one when W3 comes out. I need a new one pretty badly but I will endure this shitheap another ~6 months so I will have more money saved to spend on parts that will be cheaper those 6 months down the road.

Lava Lamp Goddess posted:I think one of my fears about Witcher 3 is the size. A world larger than Skyrim, but with gameplay hours amounting to a lot less. To me that says a whole lot of empty ground to cover. Skyrim is just bursting with content though, maybe a little too much with caves and such every 500 feet. But I'm still afraid of big expanses of cool looking scenery with nothing really there. Supposedly they want to have more of the basic Witcher-ing to do. If they have the dynamic hunter-stalks-prey and certain creatures have certain habitats, they need a big world. I thought Skyrim was ridiculous with how much content there was in both a good and bad way. Good because some of it is really really neat; like a cave you go into that has poachers... they have lines they say to each other and there is poacher paraphernalia (including a mammoth carcass) laying around. The bad is that the good ones are few and far between which means a lot of caves and ruins are the exact same tileset without much variation with the same Draugr or bandit enemies. I say this because I get the feeling that what CDPR is trying to do will have much more variety and require more thought/observation/skill to do encounters. Also there will probably be a decent bit of "well poo poo I walked right past here and never saw this path or that moss which means this monster lives here" which will mean you will need to do more searching around/exploring/whatever. I think I have now rambled quite a bit but what I am trying to say is I have a feeling they know what they are doing and I doubt that there will be that much useless huge tracts of land.

Megasabin posted:There won't ever be a second play through. I only play games once. Act 2 has two very different/distinct paths. If you are only going to play through once I think the consensus is go with Iorveth's path so you get a better idea of the bigger picture/what is actually going on. I suggest making a save at the end of Act 1 before you commit to helping either side so you can do both without needing to re-play the rest of the game. Just my two cents though.

cmykjester posted:I thought the wild hunt were elves from a different dimension. Or at least they seemed like they came from a far away land where elves did not face hardship. Maybe I should just pay more attention. I'm playing through both games again right now. Only in act 2 of the first Witcher. They are inter-dimensional elves, but I just phrased it poorly because they are mysterious and all that, but we know who they are.

pik_d posted:Is there any reason to not pre-order now? I know the EE version of the previous game was free so I would sorta expect it to be again, but is there any indication that there will be any other versions worth waiting for? CDPR is the only company I would pre-order from at this point in time. They delayed the games launch by how many months to give themselves more time to perfect it? And the only "glaring" bug I remember from W2 coming out was the villagers in Flotsam not having any pants, ever (not really a bug, if you ask me....it was loving hilarious).

beer_war posted:Why would you pre-order anything? You have literally nothing to gain from it. If you own Witcher 1 and 2 you do literally get something out of by saving money by paying for it now rather than later If you buy it after release it will most likely not be discounted, thus you literally save money by paying for something now that you will want later either way.

monster on a stick posted:Are you saying that TW3 will never be discounted after release, unlike TW2 which is currently $4? beer_war posted:Yes, because games in general and the Witcher games specifically are never, ever discounted after release. I'm not really losing any sleep over how total strangers spend their money, though, so I won't belabor the point. TW2 was released on 17 May 2011, which is over three years ago. I didnt see W2 go on sale on Steam for quite a while after release. It took a similar type game Skyrim almost year to not cost $60 and was never (to my knowledge) on sale in that timeframe. So sure, if you want to be pedantic, I said that W3 will NEVER go on sale ever and pre-ordering is the only way to get a discount. I was actually just trying to make fun of beer_war for saying "literally nothing to gain" when, earlier on this very page of the thread, I spoke my opinion that CDPR is the only company I would consider pre-ordering a computer game from at this point in time, combined with the fact that you literally DO gain something for pre-ordering IF you want the game on release and you already own the previous two versions. If you think W3 will be discounted to $4 a month after release, then sure, wait to buy it. I want it right away because I enjoyed the first two games so much, I believe it will be a good game on release, and I will literally save 10% by pre-ordering. I am sorry I did not explain my opinion better and apologize for any misunderstanding.

The whole setting seems to be just "imagine a fantasy world, but lovely and with made-up swears". It kind of seems like they went out of their way to make every character act like an awful jerk for no real reason. Like every peasant seems to love talk poo poo constantly for some reason.

If you do want to check out the existing mods, look over here: http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher2/ I would suggest a carry weight mod simply so he wouldnt have to deal with inventory management. Because inventory management can be a pain when it is your first time through and you have no idea what you will want/need down the road. Other than that I dont think it needs any mods.
