Witcher 3 | Of Ambition, Witching and Beard Maintenance

This is just a list of the crucial details to take away from the interview:

• Our beloved protagonist is now a superhero called Epic Beard Man. When he's not making ghosts experience bowel movements he is Geralt.

• "We think that the main story will cover around 50 hours. The thing that you said about the other quests filling the gaps (side quests), that’s probably another 50 hours of content."

• Superior to Skyrim: while skyrim was soulless[size=8]1[/h] and an ocean with the depth of a puddle, Witcher 3 will have meticulously crafted NPCs and will require diving suits. There will be a non-linear narrative. While Skyrim's plot was easily avoided because there was a linear quest chain, Witcher 3's plot with be separated by themes. Avoiding certain quest relevant to the themes can still count as progressing the plot.

• What you do or don't do has a significant impact. There are 36 different states you can leave the world in

• Revamped combat (again) with a more tactical focus that emphasizes Geralt's sword mastery. Camera angles have been reworked.

• Better AI

• A larger emphasis on his Witcherness.

• The different epilogue chapters are actually significantly different. "We don’t have multiple colors of endings in our game [laughs]."

The point here is that Witcher 3, like Cyberpunk, is a huge and very ambitious project. I am very confident in CDPR's ability to create the sequel Witcher 2 deserves. A proper end to the trilogy. No colors, only consequences.

This thread is just a backhanded way of saying Skyrim is overrated.

I never played any of the Witcher games but I have kept my eye on them. I wanted to get Two but I had insufficient funds at the time and from what I am reading of the Witcher 3, the game gonna be so hype and possible one of best open world games of our generation. Hopefully for the Story "Theme" thing, the time limit isn't super short, it needs to be long like very long like 3 weeks in game or something.

Nothing that new, just a reinforcement of the idea that the game will be better than skyrim and won't have a red, green, or blue ending.

I was thinking recently about why Witcher 2 is a great game. One reason I narrowed it down to is the fact that the game doesn't judge you. Just like in Deus Ex, your choices have consequences and you have to live with it, but the game doesn't give you a measurement of your morality. This is opposed to games like Mass Effect and Fallout 3/New Vegas which have the devs judge your behavior, applying their moral compass to decisions of ambiguous morality. At least in Dragon Age it was your companions who judged you.

Can someone give me a brief summary of how witcher 2 is as a game?
I never really got around to buying it since I went and played skyrim.

I'm wondering if it's worth the 21$ price tag on origin right now.

Just started The Witcher 2, and I have to admit, it's a pretty interesting game. I haven't gotten to a part where I can explore freely yet, but the character actions, their very characters and how they act are very in depth, so far.

Combats a little tricky, since they kind of change it up on you at the beginning. I can already tell that making money is gonna be a bitch. The inventory system is nice, but you're gonna need to experiment with the objects in your inventory to understand what half the junk you just picked up does. Really, they want you to experiment, and really go with trial and error.

Sadly, I never played the first one, so I have no idea on the story or what's been happening.

Overall, a good game, as long as you have a good rig. When The Witcher 3 comes out, I'm gonna stick to the console version, since that would play the graphics better than my PC ever could.

You can get a drm free version on gog.com for $19.99.





I sincerely hope this game pulverizes the new Dragon Age game.

Good thing you did my job for me. I thought I was going to have to be the guy who jumps in slow motion at the potential victim yelling "nooooo," and hoping to be able to slap the poison from their hands before they take a gulp. Never buy a CD Projekt game from anyone other than CD Projekt. Look at all the extras you'd be missing out on:



Witcher 2 is pretty fucking good. It has character depth, important choices with great consequences, challenging combat (more tactical on higher difficulties), gorgeous environments, and fucking. Also, each boss battle is epic and is essentially treated as a grand finale for the area you're in that tests your abilities as a Witcher. The game also has replayability, since you can develop your talents differently, but more importantly, at the end of the first act, you'll be forced to make a major choice that determines which area you'll be going to next. By playing the game once, you would be depriving yourself of playing through an entirely different area. However, there's less monster variety than in the first game, and you don't get laid as much. The laid part is not really a criticism, but an observation. The first game treated pussy like pokemon; gotta fuck 'em all. (You get a first edition, for collectors' eyes only, ultra rare trading card for each lay. I shit you not.) Finally, the combat system's targeting is not as precise as one would like and fighting can become tedious if you keep attacking the wrong guy. You can circumvent a lot of bullshit by just exploiting the dodge button.

"A larger emphasis on his Witcherness."

Good good. It was integrated well into the combat and story of the Witcher 2. I'm hoping they go pretty deep with the lore, 'cause I love stuff like that in IP like this and Mushi-shi.

I'm very excited for this one, except I kind of wish they would focus on just one of the games instead of two ambitious projects.

Holy shit, that's a lot. I thought you were exaggerating, but apparently not.

100 hours of rich, detailed content, a refined combat system and a beard?

http://www.polygon.com/2013/3/26/4146714/the-witcher-3-will-have-three-different-playable-epilogues-driven-by

• 3 different epilogue chapters with 300+ minor differences in the endings depending on how you played the game.

• "The open world, they say, will be roughly 35 times the size of the previous game's world."

• "The game will also feature enhanced combat which includes a new Witchers Senses system that allows you to attack weak points of enemies." This one just elaborates on what I mentioned earlier.

Again, just another report with promises. So many sexy promises. I'm saving my biggest hard-on for when CDPR starts flaunting the goods.

My nigga Erik Kain talked to the project lead. The first part just reiterated shit we already know. Then came the discussion regarding combat, and the info here expands on what I posted about the combat system:



The last part just reaffirms CD Brojekt Red's position as a bastion of pro consumer policies.

Also, if you don't see a certain trailer posted by me, it's because I'd rather avoid marketing bullshit and focus on the gameplay. I know CDPR can make a pretty cinematic, but it's not relevant to my purchasing decision, nor is it very informative about the actual game. Sticking with this theme:


CDPR teased gameplay by letting only vidya journalists see it. I was excited, but I only got a chubby; it's not something I could break wooden boards with, so CDPR are going to have to stop fucking around and release that demo.

Ha, is there japanese modders creating porn content for witcher or none of them at all

If none of them at all then skyrim is definitely superior XD

Cuz u know, the whole skit of making out happening off screen is getting quite bit old for me.

Hey, I'm right there with you on the perverted front. I think Skyrim's the biggest porn game since Oblivion. Now, while jap modders waste their time with kawaii uguu bullshit like this

people with good taste fap to shit like this

and play the game like this: http://www.xvideos.com/video3316946/tesv_2012-12-08_03-46-37-32

Furries get this:


Also, you've clearly never played Witcher 2, because CDPR doesn't hide the fucking; it's softcore.

You're right, I've never played witcher 1 and 2 because i intensely hate being disappointed when a game isn't up to my expectations in porn quality.

And those three spoilers you provided? I'd fap to all the girls you used in the pictures. They're all hot. And I need to update my skyrim porn mods, they're way out of date cuz i haven't played it cuz I want moar than 4 sex positions thiniges XD So i've been waiting lolz.

One of my most anticipated games, CD Projekt Red makes pure quality. I have played few games as immersive as Witcher 2

I know this is technically Witcher 2 news(I wanted to bump the most current thread), but CDProjekt has released the REDkit, which is a modding tool for the Witcher 2.

Christmas in May.

E3 Trailer is out!
