Yes, the camp soldiers speak another language that was subtitled

I am wondering if they still continue to consult Sapkowski at this point. Or wheter he still continues to not give a ****, lol.

I'm really looking forward to the game. My gut instinct isn't often wrong when it comes to RPG's so I'm certain that I'll enjoy it quite a bit. I've been in the mood to indulge in a very gritty RPG lately too.

I read an interview that they said something about it, but I do not remember for sure. But they say they have no commitment to the books, as they say happens next. And they also dissect the Sapkowski like their job and everything, but it is not the author of games.

LOL.

 

The Witcher is the Game of Thrones (HBO series) of fantasy RPGs.

Is there any word as to whether we'll be seeing any male nudity? I saw some pretty suggestive shots of Geralt's shirtless form so it seems like there will be a decent amount of eye candy for those who appreciate him. I just wonder if the developers will go all out. Not that it's a necessity or anything, just a perk.

I doubt it. They don't have the balls for full frontal male nudity.

They confirmed there are at least a couple of ass shots.  I wouldn't expect full frontal nudity since most cases of that even in other games tend to be pretty blurred on it.

That's how the mindset works for a lot of people.

 

Medieval fantasy setting? Check. Politics? Check. Nudity? Check. Gore and violence? Check. Dragons? Check.

Is the same logic used here

Didn't really think the comic was funny.  There're obviously a couple of minutes of talking to go along with the sex scene.  There's also nothing wrong if its done tastefully.  Its also used to help set-up the relationship to the player in the prologue since the first part of the game'll be tracking Yennefer down and obviously talking more to her after you've found her.  It reminds me of a poster twisting what someone's saying instead of actually seeing what they're saying in order to get the upper hand in an argument.

"There are hardly any politics in the Witcher series and certainly no where near as much as in GOT."

 

 

Witcher politics > GoT politics.

 

Fact.

I have to agree with you.

The thing that differentiates between the politics of Witcher and Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire is the overall portrayal and focus, which is more multi-faceted in regards to the Witcher.

 

GoT is without a doubt great, with its portrayal on different factions and characters that help build the web of political intrigue, but unfortunately is quite superficial due to the series focus way too much on power struggles, and just barely touching upon issues like ideologies, state interest, economics, geo-strategy, etc.

 

The Witcher however (mostly the second game), delves into these factors (and more) quite astutely, giving a very realistic portrayal of war. Power struggles are certainly present, but it doesn't revolve around it and manages to add several causes and aspects to the narrative, making the different conflicts that it takes up focus on proto-nationalism, economics, geo-politics, racism, revolution and so much more.

People confuse intrigue with politics because often fictional political shows feature a great deal of intrigue. AGoT (whether the show or the books) focus on intrigue. TW2 focuses on politics. They are not the same thing even if tangentially they touch on similar subject matter.

Except this isn't simply about political intrigue, but political reprsentation asa whole, which GoT touches upon issues regarding matters relating to governance, body politic and other aspects of politics, albeit on a rudimentary level. TW also has it fair share of different intrigues, but none of them solely relies on political ones and both series touches upon them.

Both shows are political, there is no denying on that front. One simply executes the portrayal better than the other.

I like both, and we're lucky to have two great authors who invented these amazing fantasy worlds. But they don't have as much in common as what people are saying. Chewin is right, I find the Witcher to be more multifaceted in its approach, and it definitely has more emphasis on humor and satire. I also think the muddled morality in Witcher is about these characters with selfish motivations, whereas the G.O.T series seems to emphasize nearly every character being capable of debauchery or ruthlessness. The books of course may have a more nuanced approach.
