I did a complete playthrough a half year ago:
Chose Triss in Witcher 1-> Neutral-> Saved Adda- >Didn't give the grandmaster's corpse to the King of the Wild Hunt (though I doubt it matters)
Killed Aryan-> Iorveth Path-> Stennis alive->Saved Triss> Spared Cynthia/Sile/Saskia/Letho

That's a lot like mine except I spared Aryan only to have him burn himself up in the prison. Also I let Sile go pop.

I hope there are a lot of TW1 callbacks. I'd love to see Toruviel and Yaevinn, for instance.

Aryan doesn't die in the prison. You can meet him in Loc Muinne if you spared him in the prologue.

Well I just played it and I didn't see him anywhere in Loc Muinne. Guess I missed him.

Not that easy to find.

That looks like an area that's filled with hostile soldiers on Iorveth's path, which would explain why I didn't hang around much.

^ That monster is a bit on the bizarre side, lol.

 

In depth coverage on combat. They really added depth to the skill trees.

This game looks more amazing with every video that is released of it. It's stuck to the roots of The Witcher 2 in terms of combat (whilst making it faster with more actions) and the world looks stunning. I'm just hoping now that it doesn't have the empty world syndrome of Skyrim or Inquisition. I'm hoping every single cave and dungeon will be unique or at least a large portion of them will be.

 

I've watched some videos where side quests are being done, so far, each one has been unique and involves you more in the struggles of the world. So everything looks good on that front.

 

The one thing that has really blown me away though is the diversity and dynamics of the world. I watched the Angry Joe video where he went sailing and started getting attacked by harpies, even after they had knocked him into the water meanwhile every region truly looks different (again, I just hope they're worth fully exploring).

 

If I can move away from Bloodborne, I can see myself investing heavy hours into this game. Combat and side quests look neat, story is a given, the world just has to be worth exploring with exploration off the beaten path rewarded with good loot, encounters and perhaps enemies you wouldn't encounter otherwise.

Combat looks good as Geralt is faster and more responsive.
My only concern is how you target the enemies and how the camera is positioned.

I don't know why the fast swinging is considered a positive. I prefer a more realistic look to the fighting. But eh, I don't play for combat anyway.

There is a lore-based reason for Geralt's speed. The mutagens that turned him to a Witcher also give him superhuman speed and reflexes. Geralt's attacks should seem fast to remain consistent with the source material.

[Addai]

Ok, but that doesn't mean he has to be anime fast.

I would of loved to see him encounter Bonhart in the Novels. But alas he didn't. That, and giving Geralt's experience with experimental trials on top of the normal ones Witcher's go through, I wouldn't of been surprised if Bonhart died in no time.

 

But anywho, I decided to give another crack at Witcher 2, and I have to see I'm surprised I'm feeling it. Only at Flotsam, done the bounties from the board, the Dice quest, arm wrestling quest, the fight one, and the fight club. 

 

Now I'm currently helping a Troll overcome his alcohol addiction!

 

Also rocking the full ponytail hairstyle. I wanted the elven style (hair is all loose) but in Witcher 2 it does look a bit weird. Looking forward to the hairstyles in Witcher 3.

 

I think at the moment, the main thing that excites me with Witcher 3 is just actually hunting monsters as a Witcher. Do the research, find the patterns, find the monsters, kill, and haggle the person out of as many Orens as I can!

Just watch this:

 

[wicked cool]

Every trailer/bit of gameplay i get more impressed. I dont find the combat fast compared to inqusition.
I feel that this game is truly the first next gen rpg we have seen on consoles and i had no interest in this franchise until this winter.
Things that appear to truly shine

Decisions in mini quests have impact
Visuals seem a big step above its closest competition
Crime system
Equiping and calling horses
underwater combat
Getting to know the enemy type after defeating one
Knowing your enemy level

Things im wary of

No Potion spamming-even on easy i do this in similar games

Magic-signs seem limited to othermagic systems im used too

Stealth/non swords-skyrim truly spoiled me on stealth gameplay and using any weapon i find. It doest appear geralt can get the jump on his enemies. Looks like you can use axes etc but you wouldn't want to

I get this van helsing with mutant powers vibe and i just hope i dont get bored
With the lack of variety

This is how Geralt is supposed to move and swing just like he did in the novels.

My main problem with previous Witcher games is that he was way to slow with sword especially in the second game. TW3 absolutely nailes his speed and agility.

Could someone with a greater understanding of the lore explain to me why mages in the Witcher universe are so important they can call a conclave and pass a list of which mages will be assigned to which courts to Radovid's hands?

 

I haven't seen them fighting in an army beyond when Henselt attacked Vergen, they appears to have no revenues beyond what kings give them except for that mention of Philippa owning shares on a dwarven bank.

Why are these people so important?

[Addai]

Just watch this:

What am I supposed to be seeing? They even say that Geralt has "crazy, movie-like" movements. Unless you're saying that someone connecting a blow, sinking into flesh or armor, then pulling out and swinging again, should have the same movement speed and airiness as someone just fighting air.

It's just an aesthetic preference. For me the fluidity in TW1 is the best, the most exciting and appealing to watch.

That should be obvious from scenes like these or Dethmold breaking the gates of Vergen.



Also the Conclave was a pretext, as Aryan La Valette says in that video posted above. The real aim of Loc Muinne was to decide the new balance of power after the kingslayings.

The mages do play a role in major battles The Battle of Sodden Hill is probably the biggest example in the lore.

 

 

 

The Battle of Sodden Hill, also known as the Second battle of Sodden took place during the first war with Nilfgaard. The hill itself is also known variously as "Mage Hill", "Kite Hill" or the "Hill of the Fourteen", because fourteen of the twenty two mages involved in the battle were said to have been killed fighting the Nilfgaardian army (at least according to official sources). A reported one hundred thousand participants fought in the battle, of which at least thirty thousand were either killed or wounded. The battle ended in a disgraceful defeat for Nilfgaard and marshal Coehoorn in particular.

 

Although there are fourteen graves, there are no more than twelve bodies. Triss Merigold is said to be among the fourteen, but she survived if not unscathed. The fourteenth is generally considered to be Yennefer of Vengerberg. The names of the fallen (including Triss and Yennefer) are carved on a stone obelisk. Each year at Belleteyn, fires are lit to commemorate those killed on the hill.

The wiki article on the Northern Wars is great by the way, if you like military fiction. The Witcher series has a lot more detail on its battles and wars than the Dragon Age series does.

 

Northern Wars

 

They'll probably be referenced a lot in The Witcher 3, as they were in the previous game.

Did 22 mages hold off a hundred thousand Nilfgaardian troops?
Because, if there were 22 mages amidst dozens of thousands of Northern soldiers, the entry doesn't really explain what their role in the battle was.
