"Hopping on the Yenn train"... Pfft, Yenn is the love of Geralt's life, Triss is just the rebound chick 

 

I am very excited for TW3, just hoping for some solid way of importing my choices since I'll be playing it on the PS4

 

Not anymore. Triss is his new love as far as I'm concerned!

 

I have a thing for red heads too so that seals the deal.

 

 

Sure thing. But it's no where near as cheesy as the "I love you Triss I want to spend the rest of my life with you" crap you get in TW1.

 

I do want an option to say that to Roche though.

 

*BROche.

The Witcher series is something you'd get if you took the corpse of J. R. R. Tolkien & George R. R. Martin, ground it into a fine powder, and snorted it off the doughy breasts of a prostitute.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

For those interested, Doug Cockle will be on the panel at Comicon and they'll be showing new gameplay. Now is the time to pipe up if something rubs you the wrong way, since we're still 6-7 months out till release.

That is sweet news. Was wondering if CDPR would ever have their own VA attending on panels, glad to see the man Doug himself makes an appearance. Now get Charles, Broche, iorveth, Philippa and Radovid's VAs to join and I will nerdgasm like hell.

I'm hoping they found a new VA for Triss in the English version. She had some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard in a video game. 

 

That's why I've always been glad I could play the games in Polish. Overall, the VA work was a fair bit better there, I'd say. 

 

Guess I won't do that this time around, however.

I definitely think Charles will appear at CC.

I always hear good things about the Polish version of The Witcher games. I might give it a try at some point.

I know Polish well enough, and always figured it was the most fitting way to play the game given its place of origin, so it's kind of stuck as the way I play it now. 

 

Even if my Polish is still sketchy here and there. Learning experience I suppose. 

[Milan92]

I can't wait to hear how "Ooooooooooooooodrin" is gonna sound in Polish.

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

Can't say I remember that, but I do remember that Polish Geralt>>>>>English Geralt tbh. :S

[Milan92]

Sounds good to me. Can't say that Geralt has come across as the most living protagonist of all time.

 

From what I've seen in the demo cutscenes so far though it looks like he has improved.

Well yes, but I am more afraid he won't be portrayed as that magnificent bastard he was in TW2, where he managed to outwit the entire north and doing so without even making an appearance. Seeing him finally reflected as a character and his ultimate goals in the war will be interesting and hopefully given justice.

I think you are giving Emhyr too much appreciation. Let's not forget it's his third try to conquer the north. He failed two times although his armies heavily outnumbered the north armies. In Witcher 2 Letho did most of the work. It was Emhyr's idea, but killing the north kings and trying to blame the sorceress is no masterpiece of a plan. And Letho only succeeded because of the help of Sheala and the Scoia'tael. I wouldn't say that Emhyr is a exceptional leader.

No, I'm giving the exact appreciation he deserves. As I haven't read the books, I can't comment on his actions during the two conquest he has previously conducted, so I am basing my appraisial on events that take place in the game.

While he certainly has failed in conquering the North twice, it has hardly stopped his resolve or his ability to do so once more, and thus time with a more calculated gambit. The share complexity of the orchestrated plan that transpires in the game, the precision of the military maneuver, and the effective communication and coordination between Letho, Shilard and Cynthia who proved capable due to their own ingenuity and resourcefulness during the act, makes Emhyr var Emreis such a brilliant character. Also let's not exclude the fact that even if the war ends in a stalemate and the Norh prevail again, due to the chaos that has happened in the North thanks to Emhyr's plan, which will have the Northern leaders at each others throat after the event with Nilfgaard would be settled, which would ultimately favor the Empire in the end and make a fourth conquest the last.

I recommend reading KoP's blog on a more detailed explanation, which Batman so nicely posted.

[Milan92]

I wonder how much of our decisions will influence The Witcher 3.

 

It sounds like the North gets conquered no matter what.

[Chewin]

@Milan92

Yeah, that has me being the most skeptic of all. I'd hope depending on the different states TW2 ended will have different outcomes in how the war continues and which parties take more losses, and such. As we can conclude during the trailer at least, Vizima gets conquered without a doubt, considering Emhyr is sitting in Foltest's throne room.

[Chewin]

I actually don't see this happening. If the northern kingdoms successfully repel the black ones, then it will be just as unifying as the battle of Brenna. There are very few things that could ever unite citizens of the northern kingdoms, but repelling an invasion of that size is exactly the kind of thing that would do it. If the north is successful, I expect a period of peace immediately following the conflict because they will all be recovering from war and splitting up the spoils of their victory. I don't see any of them looking to then engage their neighboring kingdoms in a fresh conflict. 
 
Also, I plan on wearing Emhyr's head on my hook as a trophy, so maybe that is a bit of a bias on my part.

Certainly, a common threat will unify the North yet again, but the peace afterwards will hardly be a long one, not after everything that transpired in the game. Letho himself notes it: "No matter the war’s outcome, the Northern monarchs will accuse one another, pursue their god given rights, seek vengeance and be at each other’s throats for years to come."

That is why Nilfgaard will hold the upper hand even if it doesn't turn as they wish.

Yeah, I expect the choices in TW2 to have as much impact on TW3 as the choices in TW1 had on TW2. Which is to say, basically none at all. Small details and story crumbs will be added to remind you of characters and quests from the last games, but there won't be any real meaningful or radical divergence. I think the biggest choices to import will be about which characters are alive and dead. I think Letho being alive might be the biggest choice you can import, since TW3 is all about the wild hunt and Letho is the wild hunt expert.

I'd think the whole Iorveth/Roche thing would be about as big if either of them become involved.

 

Which brings me to my question, have the devs said anything about a way to determine such choices in the game besides direct import (For us console gamers)?

[Chewin]

Not that I am aware of, no. Heard something about a si ilar approach that BW did with having a comic and choosing options, but think that was just speculations.

[Farci Reprimer]

It has already been stated that the Northern forces have been largely pushed behind the Pontar river at the beginning of Witcher 3 and No-Man`s Land is largely just leftovers of what was kingdom of Temeria.

 

It is interesting that the map in the outro of Witcher 2 shows clearly that the Black ones leave Brokilon and Mahakam untouched. Makes sense considering that both are very hard realms to conquer, very large portion of all weapon trade in the world comes from Mahakam and Nilfgaard has always treated nonhumans better than the Northern Realms. Another reason why it is not necessarily bad thing if Nilfgaard conquers all the known world.

 

Also, if you look closely the Sword of Destiny trailer you will notice that the place where Geralt has the audience with the emperor is almost without the doubt the same throne room of king Foltest that we saw in Witcher 1 in Wizima. If so that means two things: Emhyr has come all the way from his capital in the south to lead his great army and Nilfgaard seems to use Temerian capital as their base of military operations in the north.
