First expansion out 13th October.
Here be the teaser.
Looks good. I wonder where those soldiers are from...
Would have liked confirmation of the Radovid romance.
Some new screens:
I'm curious as to how those soldiers managed to overpower and knock out Geralt.
Also, down with Rad the Lad. Emhyr is bad enough.

You just aren't stern enough.
So....when does the expansion happen? Could it be after the main story? Pretty excited for it!
OT: The Trespasser DLC seems to be very lore heavy! Just saw some livestreams and it finally reveals a lot about the elven gods.

Well, it seems I'll have to sign out for quite some time. I won't be able to play neither DLCs before December and I really want to go in pure.

Huh, so my theory was right; the Man of Glass in the expansion is that bastard from the start of the game that talks to you about Yen. Didn't catch it the first time around, but after he introduced himself again in NG+ and listed Man of Glass as one of his aliases I knew he was probably gonna make a return. I guess he's calling in his favor... But couldn't he have just asked? Wonder why he resorted to kidnapping.
More good news, Everybody who bought the expansion on steam, gog or origin will get a digital comic about everybody's favourite Dragon. The story is a follow up after the Witcher 2 events.
.
Literally the only thing I care about at the moment is the Triss patch. I'm holding off on progressing the story too, and just poking around for witcher gear upgrades. Which I'm pretty much done doing, I think I only have 3 treasure hunts left and I'll have the upgrade paths unlocked for all of them.
On the other hand, I think I might need a break anyway, though.

Shani... YES
Welp, pre-ordered the expansion from the local retail store/company.
Apart from the online goodies, getting the Monster and Scoia'Tael deck as a bonus is nice I suppose.. but I'd prefer the Northern Realms. ![]()

I wish they just start selling real Gwent cards. I've no doubt they would sell a lot. Even if only 2 out of the initial 6 mil that bought the game would buy them would be profitable.
They don't want our money, apparently.
The picture, that Deathstruck posted shows the boxed version of the expansion, which includes two real life gwent decks.

Wow, thanks for the link and the info! Hope I have a chance of getting those.
I agree that Dragon Age should be more like Wiedźmin. Decisions should be awarded with greater consequences. Atmosphere should become far more grittier than it it is in DA:I; return of blood. Gore would be welcome too. Game should stop being a platform for perversions and other agendas; there is no need to paint people.
Ok so first, the Witcher 3 has better game design, the combat is more fun and engaging, despite the occasional sloppiness, whereas DA has never really been a strong point in that respect, favoring an emphasis on deep immersion and lore. ( to go back on my earlier conclusion).
The Novigrad section of TW3 does highlight the strengths of the game series much better than Velen does, which yes came off as a rather by the numbers in a certain sense. The Baron quest did not speak to me in particular, not as much as Iorveth's story in A2 TW2 or Foltest in A1 of TW2, or even the "witch" at the end of the prologue in TW1.
However, then you get Zoltan, and Triss, and Dandelion and it starts to remind me more of TW2 and all the fun that was had there. The most memorable quest I was saying so far wasn't the Baron but the higher vampire quest which was really creepy, much like in BG2 you used to have the silence of the lambs riff. Also I found the fencing instruction quest to be pretty stellar. Novigrad in general just lives and breathes in a way that I haven't seen since (again BG2) Athkatla, it's a bit slimmer than the size promises but clambering from wealthy quarter to the beaten down areas with their wayward streets and below level entrances and stuff is quite something.
It's more than just environmental design, you get the very first quest to just get rid of a rat infestation, it's that kind of down to the earth humbling sort of ability to set aside the extreme epic quest that I find fairly powerful.
Older Bioware games kind of were more ready willing to go to those deep dark places, more modern Bioware games sort of talk about the deep dark places, but they don't really go there as often. That said, they keep in tact the immersion (or perhaps have improved on it) for the most part.
Overall (still haven't finished TW3) I get the sense whatever the merits of 3 neither TW3 or any DA games compare to TW2 which was just incredible.
I'm curious as to how those soldiers managed to overpower and knock out Geralt.
Probably caught him while he was drunk at the Passiflora.
The Witcher just has more balls than Dragon Age, that's why it's more successful and endearing right now.
For example, "more balls" would be more likely interpreted as misogynistic or something by the DA fanbase and/or DA developers, because it would be interpreted as somehow saying only men can have overwhelming moxy or whatever, whereas TW dispenses with the faux-justicisim and gets right in the nitty gritty of making characters empowering without making it gender specific, and thereby would much more likely ignore such a trifling statement for the meaningless silliness that it is.
Outrage is usually an indicator of hidden or latent biases.
