More or less, yeah. Though the fantastical elements of the parallel worlds storylines is actually dialed down quite a bit from the books, particularly noticeable in TW3. I think CDPR wasn't entirely comfortable with how much it could bounce between fantastical fantasy to borderline sci-fi at times.

 

Very interesting. Funny, before really knowing anything about the WItcher,  I thought it was a super hardcore medieval game without magic that was super grounded in reality (then again the protagonist was a badass warrior with yellow eyes).

 

Roche path > Iorveth path
Roche >>>>>>>>>>> Iorveth

Just wondering, is there a neutral path like in Witcher 1 ?

Roche path > Iorveth path
Roche >>>>>>>>>>> Iorveth

I have never played Roche's path. Only played the game a couple of times, but i can't help siding with Iorveth each time. Quick question. Does Zoltan follow you if you choose Roche?

I realized I dun goof'd on one of the images. Still, more cut content from CDPR. Again for anyone who missed it, stuff like the wild hunt attacking novigrad, a Iorveth appearance (apparently he was to be featured heavily but was removed) Lambert could potentially die, Vincent would have made an appearance, ect.

Its either Roche or Iorveth, the correct choice is Roche OFC.

For this heresy you should burn at the stake!

Zoltan follows you, but when you cross the misthe decided to staywith his fellow dwarves.

Even if you are 110% objectively wrong, that choice has it´s perks.

[I WANT YOU TO FUCK ME JERY]

I like Roche as a character more, but I like Iorveth's path more.

 

Decided to go with Roche's path as my 'canon,' and after TW3 I'm glad I did, frankly.

The Witcher is weird. Whereas other settings like Dragon Age are fairly resolutely high fantasy all the way, while ASOIAF is decidedly lower fantasy, Witcher veers between the two quite a lot. While on the other hand you have peasants in huts practicing creepy, eldritch rituals to appease evil witches and politics as well as human pettyness are of great importance, you also have badass mutant warriors sleeping with smoking hot sorceresses that use giant domes of magic, rain down fireballs, or travel through time and space. That's without going into the calvacade of evil spectral Elves who wear armor worthy of Skeletor and fight unicorns. The creation of Witchers involves genetic mutation as well as plain old magic too. It has fairly modern themes, some of them quite ham-fistedly presented; for instance, religion is almost always evil, and cocaine fisstech is bad mmkay. And then TW1 had a werewolf playing at being batman, complete with the word ''superhero'' being used. Yes, really.

 

It's a big reason why I never really got behind the idea that TW is a gritty, super-realistic dark fantasy. Maybe if you only hang out in Velen or only play Act 2 of Roche's path in TW2. But the setting has more than its fair share of high fantasy above and beyond what even LOTR offered, and I think the lack of consistency within the setting of The Witcher is why I prefer Dragon Age a bit more overall, and A Song of Ice and Fire far more.

The Iorveth arc of TW2 - specifically, Act 2 - is about as light and soft as you can get these days. It's all just a heroic narrative. Of course, it gets cleverly undercut in Act 3, which is part of what makes it wortwhile. 

 

I think the comments about the setting being gritty largely just come from CDPR's storytelling style, not the source material. I'd wager you could give them D&D and they could churn out a game that's very gritty in "feel" because of what they choose to foreground and how they do it.

There are some anachronisms with some of the government and military aspects as well, like armies having special operations units or being organized into brigades, and states having secret police.

Just FYI there's a mod out now that disables Hairworks on Geralt while enabling it on monsters, animals, etc.

 

http://www.nexusmods...her3/mods/165/?

 

It looks really nice on monsters and wildlife, but I never found the FPS drop worth it on Geralt, so this mod is something I was waiting for.

It's dark fantasy, like Berserk, but I little more... crazy.

They just catered to the popular choice instead of the right one.

 

That`s why they are working hard on that expansion that´ll set things right again.

 

I believe that. I have to ...

They ignore Iorveth path, Roche don't even remember that you choose Iorveth. What a shame.

He is alive, BELIEVE! YOU NEED TO!

[Giantdeathrobot]

Eh, I still remember walking to the giant camp in the bottom right of the map and seeing that the Nilfgaardians (clearly based on Germanic cultures) named their force the Army Group Centre.

 

Subtle, CDPR. Subtle.

Yeah I agree, Roche is a great character. If Iorveth shows up in an expansion I wonder how butt blasted he'll be, or if he'll have gotten over his anal anguish.

I always believe that Iorveth was more popular.

[I WANT YOU TO FUCK ME JERY]

Well, Iorveth has legions of fangirls. And fanboys. Understandably. Mrrow. 

 

Too bad he'll probably forever be the Jorah Mormont to Saskia's Daenerys. Notice meeeee...

No need to feel bad for the elven scum who helped the Kingslayer kill the broest king ever. Thats waht he deserved! 

Come to the Roche side, we have high levels of Bromance, nice tatoo and more interesting story.

[Red of Rivia]

Blah, Letho>Iorveth>Roche.

''EREDIN IS A KING, YOU KNOW, LIKE FOLTEST'' 

[Han Shot First]

Iorveth was a great character, but

Spoiler

news of his demise didn't sadden me. He kind of earned this:

 

[Red of Rivia]

He is alive, pal.

Spoiler

In the fans heart. or in the Gwent card, you still can have him.

[Boost32]

Blah, Letho>Iorveth>Roche.

''EREDIN IS A KING, YOU KNOW, LIKE FOLTEST'' 

Only if thats the order of who needs to die.

There is a motive for Roche to be caled Broche.

 

And now I remember how fun was to do the Iorveth path, save triss and let the Kadwenis soldiers have him, it brought a smile on my eyes to see him get what he deserved.
