Hmm? Moreso than Witcher 2?

Going from what I have experienced so far, along with people's comments here and elsewhere (Gamespot made a video about this) apparently that is the case.

Well, hard to tell what's actually choice/consequence when I'm only on my first playthrough, but Witcher 2 had a lot of those bites-you-in-the-ass moments and since it had almost 50% different campaign based on a very early choice I just haven't really seen anything that blows me away like that in W3 yet.

 

Although, Witcher 3 is definitely Open World choice-consequence and storytelling done right. Still love Skyrim but I also can't take that game's storylines seriously. Especially not after Witcher 3.

Yes, and it has been a selling point for the Witcher franchise right from the very first game. I'm quite impressed with certain decisions that I've made--which I initially viewed as the clear right choice--ended up "backstabbing" me later on, and then even further on solidifying my stance that I made the right one from the very beginning when I saw how it impacted other external factors, rather than just the party involved with said specific quest.
TW3 has certainly made a landmark when it comes to choices and consequences in their games, in addition to the portrayal of them.

The real creed behind witcher series (books included) is keeping you own path/ faith instead of accepting what destiny throws at you. TW3 really nails it. Without any spoilers, TW3 is about Ciri, hence what kind of a father you want your Geralt to be decides the how Ciri's story will end. And there would not be any obvious momentum choices but all the little bits will add up.

It really stresses to you just how much you SHOULD loot everything as you go along.

 

By the end of my first playthrough, I didn't have everything for the Master-Crafted Ursine armor.

 

About to meet the Emperor for the first time, and I have Silver Ingots/Ore and Dimeritium Ore/Ingots that I needed for that armor lol. I think I must of sold these of in my playthrough, and realized my mistake near the end.

See, this is one of those moments where the game just reminds me of DA:I again, and I can't help but compare and usually, Witcher 3 just blows DA:I out of the water. I cringed and laughed farcically. "oh, Bioware, not this silly singing again!" in that Dawn Has Come moment, and here I was like "wow, it's a musical number in a medieval setting, that feels like it's actually inside the setting and not a stage-performance where the actors (characters) step out of their roles to do the animator's bidding"

 

This moment was golden. I don't know why DA:I was full of pop-singer-bards and a theatrical musical number that breaks all believability. This is how you do it, and it's actually a fairly simple scene in concept anyway.

Oh no you didn't. Mother Giselle will come for you. I much prefer The Dawn Will come, for many reasons. It is story relevant, it makes you feel proud of the work you have done thus far. Also it gave me the feels, don't get me wrong i like Priscilla's song, but i never had goosebumps or anything like that. I cried and still do during The Dawn will come. And it is one point that i will say DA:I is superior to The Witcher 3. Personal preference.

There should have been a storage chest in this game, just saying. Atleast since it will continue with expansions. On my new playthrough i am carrying around the cat armor and the griffin armor at the moment and i always manage to sell the rose of remembrance since its in the junk part of the inventory, for some reason. Vivaldi's bank would have been perfect for storage.

I quite like both, understanding that they exist in separate realms for different purposes. I think its safe to say though that Priscilla's Song will get more of a unanimous acceptance amongst people who listened to it as compared to the troops singing The Dawn Will Come because of setting and choreography.

 

Spoiler

With The Dawn Will Come

 

 

Its very in your face about whats happening;the song begins to be sung, there's the slight echo, then another joins in, then more and more folks begin to join in. You've got a few characters here and there for several different reasons that aren't joining in, one character is watching over another as he dies, all the while common men and women are bowing at the feet of The Inquisitor and still singing away.

 

With Priscilla's Song

 

 

Its far subtler and more relaxed;its past sundown at a bar, a bard/poet has a performance people are there to listen to, the instrument is tuned and the song begins. People are shown doing exactly what is expected when one is listening to a song of this nature;some are sitting down, others are standing up, some are having a drink, one person walking by decides to stop and appreciate the performance, a couple are kissing to the sound of a romantic song.

 

The point being that of the two, people can relate to Priscilla's Song more. The Dawn Will Come(in that form) was very reaching;while some players(myself included) are fine with it, its understandable that it breaks believability for others. It was far more of a stretch and was far more involved even with its shorter length, so some will be hesitant to accept it.

 

I don't know which of the two songs will be embraced more by our people. I want to see Taylor Davis perform a violin version of Priscilla's Song, perhaps Malukah providing the vocals(I tweeted them both about it with a link to the video, ).

 

In the end, I like them both for different reasons. I can't rightly say which one I'd choose over the other since I'm in full Witcher 3 mode right now which presents an obvious bias until it wears off, so I might clarify later on when time has passed. For now though I have tons of appreciation for the styling of Priscilla's Song and can see myself listening to it for a long time, using it as an example of the beautiful music that video gaming has brought to the world.

What's amusing about that video is the idiots in the comment section thinking those are real bugs...

Don't see why one would complain about filler, since side quests actually adds substance to the over-arching narrative; be it in the form of fillings gaps regarding the political turmoil--exploring the ramifications and the continuing conflict of the war in various ways--or expanding the world through monster slaying or simple side activities like treasure hunting or card games.

Sure, if you want to simplify it you can argue that side quests primarily revolve around the same concept: talking, investigating, killing and more talking. But that is a huge disservice, since the beauty lies in the detail and what each quest offers differently from the other. Naturally there is a range in quality, but the majority are far more engaging than what I've come across with your regular RPG.

As for dialogue, well that is subjective. Geralt is a pre-established character, so it is limited if one compares to games like BioWare. I personally prefer this method, since the dialogue flows more naturally and adds avenues for Geralt to come across as a living individual in the game, without coming across as binary.

 

After the 4th wraith quest i don't see that much detail but the reuse of a plot for filling a hole.

 

As for dialogue 95% of the dialogue i saw consit in 2-3 sentence where you mix 1/2 question with 1/2 progressive answer, only the main quest offer some difference in this scheme.

Using a similar monster, OMG IT'S REUSING A PLOT.

 

Seriously dude?

Gwent remains super addictive.

Gotta collect them all!

Don't know what you are even talking about with that Wraith statement, since I've seen nothing of the sort.

 

Regarding dialogue, I get the impression you are putting more weight into the option itself, instead of what is actually being talked about. Since Geralt is a character, he doesn't need the player to input every little bit of dialogue. The dialogue tree serves more like a "guideline" that leads to a branching of dialogue, without you have to pick everything that he says.

Hope everyone's enjoying; I've only skimmed to avoid spoilers thus far. Got sidetracked with work so am still in the process of finishing up my Witcher run.

 

Figure at the rate things are going W3 will get a few more patches and possible DLC before I finally import from W2 to play it.

 

I find myself wishing it had a benchmark tool similar to DA:I's.

[Call Me Jord]

I really hope they make a standalone online Gwent game where you can play against others online.

 

I'm not one for online Chest/Card games, but Gwent...I'd play Gwent.

 

2nd playthrough and I plan to give it a lot more focus then before. Have a Guide with me to find all the rare cards so that'll help as well

Where can I find a monster egg?

[Akrabra]

Where can I find a monster egg?

Probably from any of the flying creatures, but i would guess Harpies as the most likely. Or maybe you can distmantle it from Harpy eggs if you already have them.

That's how it works with harpy feathers, at least, though I haven't tried it with eggs.

I must sai say that the fight against the King of the Wild Hunt was disappointing, easier than Corypheus.
I was expecting more from the arch-enemy.

CDP keeping easy final bosses a thing since TW2.

Atleast Eredin didn't dissapoint as a villain like Cory.

 

Though I wished we had a few more encounters with him.

[Mr.House]

Eredin felt like a threat throughout the story unlike Cory.
