I just saw that tonight too.

I'm wondering if that'll carry over if I link up my steam account to my GOG account. I still haven't gotten around to doing that.

[Seboist]

I would've liked Keira as a viable third waifu. Which would've been nicer than becoming eskimo brothers with Lambert. >_<

[nfi42]

No love on this forum for Syanna.  I wonder why?

[FKA_Servo]

Syanna was alright.

Spoiler

She was a decent villain and a good character. Better than Dettlaff, who was sort of a caricature.

 

I can't speak to the romance though. I was strictly monogamous throughout all three games - a one-Triss Geralt. All it is is a one-time thing though right?

I would've liked that as well.  She's not the best person in the world, that's for sure.  But she doesn't try to be anything that she's not, and she makes no apologies for it either.  I can respect that. 

 

Though, sometimes I wonder, if somewhere, Geralt has a list that has all of the Lodge sisters names on it and is gleefully checking them off. 

[slimgrin]

I found it interesting both Syanna and Dettlaff are the same personality type - self centered and vindictive to a fault. I just don't get how Dettlaff could be so foolish as to be duped by her. I hope I missed some journal entry explaining why he was so devoted other than being a total schmuck.

Yep, it's a one time thing like Keira and Shani in HoS.

 

And I played Geralt as a complete sleezeball throughout all three games,but stayed "committed" with Triss in TW3 over Yen(although in my first run i got the "threesome" ending, kek).

I especially like the idea of surprising Triss and Yen by ditching them both for a completely new third party.

I think much the same,  I wish B&W had one more main story quest where we got to explore Dettlaff's past.

Regis has explained it very well in one of his convo with Geralt. Dettlaff avoided humans and Syanna was the first human he gave a chance to get to know him because lab @first sight and all that. And as we've seen, Syanna is quite convincing. So human kind naive vampire believed her quite easily.

[Hazegurl]

It sucks CDPR didn't allow us to explore more of Dettlaff's past et al.  Syanna was sort of given the final word on the relationship and the bulk of the whole angsty past deal, we never really hear Dettlaff's own take on everything.  But the pieces of story we get out of Regis is that Dettlaff was a kind Vampire who didn't understand anything about lying and deceit, or humans for that matter.  He was more vampire than human and he seemed to be the Alpha leader pack type.  According to Dettlaff, Syanna was a member of his pack so he didn't understand why she would lie and run away.

 

Regis: "You don't leave your pack."

 

After Syanna split Dettlaff was searching for her, most likely thought the worst already, then suddenly he gets a letter confirming his fears, that she was kidnapped and in danger.  I think anyone could get duped by that.

 

And I played Geralt as a complete sleezeball throughout all three games,but stayed "committed" with Triss in TW3 over Yen(although in my first run i got the "threesome" ending, kek).

 

I had a play through where he visited all the brothels, and screwed any character willing to screw him.  I kinda felt sorry for Triss and Yen cause he was such a man wh*re. lol! I'm now playing the Witcher 2 before playing 3 again and right now I'm doing a 100% true to Triss run.  It was hard turning down Ves, until I realized she had brought Geralt into the same tent Roche was standing in.   Although I wouldn't have minded Roche jumping in.

[Onecrazymonkey1]

What I don't get was why Syanna wasn't honest with Dettlaff about the knights from the beginning? Wouldn't there have been a good chance that he would've helped to make those knights pay if she told him how much they abused her? The only one I can see him refusing to kill outright would be Anna.

[SnakeCode]

Well i've finally completed Blood & Wine. All I can say is, what an absolutely stunning game from start to finish.

Spoiler

I got the super happy ending I think, Anna Henrietta and Syanna kissed and made up, Dettlaff was killed, and all is well. Regis having to flee after killing Dettlaff being the only downside.

 

Toussaint is impossibly beautiful, so many times I found myself just stopping for a while to take in the landscape. No finer place for Geralt to finally settle down for good. He's earned his happy ending. Speaking of which, going home at the end to find Yen waiting there was a fantastic surprise, and turned out to be extremely heart warming. Really showed how deeply Yen cares for Geralt, no matter how well she tries to hide it. Simply beautiful.

Instead of giving my 2 cents to this topic. Bioware should just read what the CDPR developers say themselves.

"We know you aren't stupid" - a quest design masterclass from CD Projekt RED

 

Quotes from the article,

“It's a matter of coming up with a cool idea, and that can be anything,” explains Mills. “An interesting scene, a funny joke, an interesting situation, or even something gameplay related. Would it be interesting to have Geralt do this different thing?”

 

“All of our quests need to tell a story, and the story has to be interesting,” states Mills. “Every monster hunt in the Witcher 3 has its own arc: it has a beginning, a middle, and an end. For side quests I come up with the core idea and then I sit down with the story team and we work out those details. “OK, this character, this is what they like, this is what their motivations are, this is where they've been” We come up with that all together.” 

 

“I think something that CD Projekt RED understands is that if your scenes are interesting and your story is interesting, then that is gameplay,” emphasises Mills. “People will enjoy playing it. That's been our philosophy on this: if it's good people will like it, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't involve swinging a sword.”

 

“We are willing and happy to make games for adults that deal with adult subjects and, most importantly, treat the audience like adults,” says Mills. “We know that you can handle this. We know that you aren't stupid. We know that you are interested in good storytelling.”

 

“One of the things that I like about this sort of story telling is that we remind people that there aren't any easy answers,” explains Mills. “That those sort of heroic narratives - this is the good option and this is the bad option, this is neutral, who do you want to be? - that's not the way the world works. It feels false. It can still be fun but it doesn't feel real, it doesn't feel like this connects to my life.

Same ending I got except for my finding Triss there instead of Yen.

I pretty much feel this is the real ending of the franchise. They made all the right choices regarding setting and theme. As expansions go, It's hard to do better. It's interesting to note they knew how special Murky Waters was in TW1 and that they were trying to do the same here.

It's interesting they associated the lame (good, bad, neutral) type options with "heroic" options, because I actually think TW3 is pretty rife with heroic options. Often melancholy options, and rarely ones where the ending is happy and there's a karmic victory, but Geralt often finds himself in the hero role. And to be honest I thought TW3 was generally as upbeat as Act II of TW2.

I wish we would have got to fight Orianna in B&W. Track her down and have the fight from the 'A Night to Remember' trailer.

I wish I could have brought Syanna home and told Triss to scram tho. I don't know why, but I really liked Syanna.

Been avoiding this thread for fear of spoilers, but I just got around to finishing Hearts of Stone and wanted to dip in to say again that this game is absolutely sensational! Bring on Blood and Wine!!!

I envy you. I wish there was such a thing as induced selective memory loss.

Yes, I wish I could restart TW3 and enjoy it again and again.

Although, personally, I wouldn't call some of the choices heroic. I would say a lot of choices tend to be "justifiably good". Whenever I'm in the Skellige Islands, I feel less stressed probably because of the ambient music. Where as in Velen, I feel there could be danger around every corner.

That would've made one heck of an ending to the expac I must say.

 

Which reminds me,

It would've been nice to see what Dettlaff would've thought of Geralt having bumped nasties with her in fairy tale land, kek.

I feel less stressed in Skellige because they generally treat me better there than they do in Velen.  More respect for Witches instead of spitting at me and calling me a freak.

Bro-inksi talks about the company and the game. 

 

 

So they do have another major title aside from Cyberpunk in production.
