I was really hoping the alternate look for Triss would have been the Witcher 2 outfit.

Funny detail, you can actually see her Witcher 2 outfit laying around in her old apartment in Novigrad.

And the free DLC keeps rolling out, men i love CDPROJECT RED :3

[ProphetOfDoom666]

Quests and decisions that have consequences, a properly filled open world, much less pointless harvesting and looting, and much better gameplay. Also CD Projekt Red is giving out Free DLC specifically to divert from the greedy norm, putting Inquisition to shame.

God forbid but TW3 is far from perfect especially gameplay wise.CPR did a good job with characters and story, presentation but the gameplay is almost as bad as in the witcher 2.Both games have ups and downs.

You guys are a terrible influence, I just bought a cheap second-hand xbox 360 so I can play Witcher 2 (neither my ancient PC, not that I can play on my pc anymore anyway due to disability etc or laptop can play it), just hope my fingers can cope with the xbox controller...     

 

I do have both 1& 2 for the pc just became to ill to play on computer hence the switch to console gaming... Perhaps once they have finished Cyberpunk CDPR will remaster 1&2 for next gen consoles...

If I can offer a little advice, I found that TW2 was a bit slow going in, but once I left Flotsam, it really started to pick up. I say this only because a couple of friends of mine found it boring at first, until I urged them to stick with it and they were certainly glad they did.

Have fun playing it! Let us know what you think.

Thanks, I enjoyed the first one, so I am sure I'll enjoy the second one, I will certainly persevere with it... Funny thing is even taking the cost of the second hand 360 and W2 it's cheaper than DAI ...

I wanted to, just to see the difference, but couldn't do it. I'll get around to it eventually.

Its not actually that bad, freeing it is still the better option but its not a blatantly evil path, like say, murdering Keira Bezt.

Just for that ,my Geralt couldn't harm Keira =p

Just finished the wonderful Tower Full of Mice quest. Absolutely fantastic for a side quest. It's funny how these people come into your life for maybe a half hour, but you can really care about them.

One thing I'm slowly realizing with the Witcher is the side quests can also be inter-related and flesh out the world. I don't know how to use the spoilers function, so I won't elaborate too much - but I love how you learn something about the world in passing, and then unexpectedly a side quest will add a piece to the puzzle. Or things townspeople talk about come up later in a quest.

It might not seem like a big deal, but I'm used to villagers just spouting nonsense and wasn't expecting some of the tie ins.

Where she and Graham are reunited.

I am glad you're giving it another try.

That's the ending I got

I just also finished the side quest about the Werewolf / love triangle. Also amazing. But one thing I'm coming to learn after these two quests is that if a character purposely avoids answering a question, they are hiding something. Though I love in Witcher the characters do this in different ways. Some characters get angry at the questions, others genuinely try to act clueless.

Thanks for the spoiler tip - been here for years and never knew

I was going to allow that werewolf to live. I knew that sister was up to know good, why else would she not want Geralt looking? Sad that the man no longer wanted to live.

Some quests are a real struggle to know what to do. One my favorite quests is in Skellige that you do with Cerys. I don't want to spoil it, but she asks you to do something atrocious and you don't have much time for a decision to be made. I loved it.

I love how a lot of quests aren't good or bad. Usually there are consequences for "good" or "bad" endings. Such as that quest.

Spoiler

They're united, but he dies. Do as she asks without caution, she kill Graham and remains cursed. I wish I could remember the exact quote, but IIRC, Geralt kills some peasants who were going to lynch some guy. After it is over, the man thanked him, to which Geralt said something to the effect: I saved one, but had to kill three.

It's nice that Geralt feels remorse for killing, even if he has to.

Yes, Geralt is one complicated monster killing machine. But fortunately, Yenna always help me to make tough decision.

I think the emotional parts of TW3 is subtle but very emotionally powerful. When the Baron was holding the botchling and you get to decide to kill it or not, my tears started running. And I thought " what??? Where t f did that came from? This guy is bumhole!!" But the setting and the presentation was soo well done with the rain, the botchling started sucking on her feet, the very poignant music and the words to lift the curse, all blend in together to get that memorable scene cemented on my brain.

But then bioware can do the same thing also. I cried when Tali and Mordin died in ME. Sadly, I did not feel any of that in DA 2 or 3. Heck, even Legion's death touched me. Even when Hawk's mother died, for me, it was just gruesome and something I'd rather not see and better off to forget.

Wait till you find Ciri, that emotional roller coaster is amazing!

Be sure to play the "Possession" side-quest in Skellige. Probably my favorite quest in the game, but Tower fulll of mice is also really awesome.

My favorite is "little red". It does not have complex back story but Gearalt's choice really reveal a tragic werewolf story.

There are so many emotional moments in TW3 and I agree Bioware used to do that well but for me they failed in DAI I can't remember any scenes that affected me as much as those in TW3.

I am not sure how far you are into the game so I don't want to spoil it for you, but there is a scene with Geralt talking to a little boy and it really tugged the heart strings for me. So did so many other scenes, Uma, battle at Kaer Morhen, reuniting with Ciri, and so on...

So many hard decisions too, like the Crookback bog quest...

I have been moved to tears a few times during TW3 and not had that from Bioware since ME3 really although I did find the death of Hawke's mother emotional too but not as deeply.

Edit: OK don't read if you don't wish to have the game spoiled, but here are a few of the scenes which moved me ...

Spoiler

Crookback Bog - Geralt talking to the little boy about his parents ... I just wanted to hug the poor little chap.
The Botchling.
The death of Vesemir and his funeral.
Uma's trial of grasses - this actually had tears streaming down my face while forcing the potions into him. Got quite attached to Uma preferred him in that guise as opposed to Avallac'h.
And so many more, too many to list...

So other than hopping in to complain about unrelated crap, I've mostly been avoiding this thread since it's full of spoilers, and I was pretty certain that I would to play TW3. At the moment, I'm comfortably in the middle of TW2, and I have to say... I'm pretty goddamn impressed. To the extent that I can't actually believe that the first one was made by the same developer. It's very, very good. If TW3 is half as expansive as it seems from the conversation here, I'm pretty psyched to finally hit it.

 

Though I actually like Triss' old actor a lot better, though. Shoulda kept her around.

 

But yeah. Didn't know what I was missing, apparently.
