The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
- Thread starter DjordjeDtW
- Start date
I got a pretty good ending actually.Didn't turn up that great for Velen but I didn't care much about the damned place anyway. Skellige flourished and Geralt lived happily ever after with Yennefer.
Similar. Aside from I went the route of the ginger just wish she had an English accent
love gingers i do.
I took another random quest in Witcher 3 - ended up with Geralt being so high on mushrooms he started to understand his horse... then we both went on solving monster cases haha I love this game so much!
God dammit, I spend so many hours in this game but I still hear stuff like this I never seen ^^
Its in Blood and Wine DLC, this expansion has few more weird quests like that haha. And to be honest the amount of content they throw in to this DLC can count as a Wither 4 almost.
Wow. Thought I'd seen them all with nearly 400 hours in that amazing game. This is a new one on me. Sounds like a lot of fun that one.
This is why I like this game so much - it can turn from one of the most disturbing dark quests to Geralt talking with his horse ala Scooby Doo adventure. Whenever I start a quest I have no idea if it will be generic or with utterly surprising twist.
I`m almost done with Blood and Wine, only few question marks left on the map - the great adventure is close to the end... I dont want it to end.
Yes. I only recently uninstalled the game and it was with a real heavy heart.
The game does have downsides mainly in the combat side really - for me the levelling of various powers never felt terribly satisfying there wasn't really moments where I'd level some power up and "feel" more powerful if that makes sense. It was all very subtle with numbers changing in the background but little impact on the gameplay. Many games do this very well to give the player that tactile feedback that their choices in levelling make a difference.
Dunno it's a minor point above because like we all say here...everything else in the game is so above the industry standard that it really does make it hard to play the "industry standard" games without drawing comparisons to Witcher 3.
The quest writing is incredibly good.
The dialogue is relevant and perfectly fits the universe without feeling contrived.
The voice acting is the best I've seen in any game let alone one as large as this one.
The graphics are eye wateringly good and the whole setting lends itself perfectly to this.
They created an open world game that felt NATURAL. No one does this properly other than these guys.
.....
I could go on and on.
So much hope for their next projects especially cyberpunk 2077. Really need to see some more on that one soon.

The quest is found near the northern border at a hut near the river. It was real fun.

I think this is due to the fact that TW3 is more of an action adventure game rather than an RPG. Today's open world RPGs works like this. The RPG and character progression rarely have any real impact except minor advatages/disadvantages in combat.
Horizon Zero Dawn borrows a lot from TW3 but here it feels even less important. Same with Mass Effect Andromeda I guess?
The industry do have a crap load to learn from CD Project's quest designs though as some side quests are among the best I've ever experienced. And the world feels coherent with the lore and mythology. Every piece of the puzzle fits like nothing I've seen before.

May I add that if you read the books, a lot of the characters and how they behave make much more sense (not that they don't without it) and the story is much more enjoyable, as you know what Ciri, Geralt and Yennefer went through, from the day they've met all these years in the past, and many little tiny nods towards the book saga events are an additional extra... Man I love Witcher's world!

Have you played the one with the bank and the statue "assets" missing one? Hilarious!

I played that one but annoyingly I had to rush through it cos the missus was on my case about coming off and doing something rubbish instead like DIY.

I couldn't resist. I Googled a video of that horse/mushroom quest. I definitely haven't played it so only watched a little. Funny as hell what I saw.
Geralt: when I whistle you appear out nowhere..how's that work?
Roach: have to be there for my human!
Geralt: that's great but why do you get caught on little fences then?
Roach: we have limits.
Flippin love that the studio totally taking the peesh out of their game.

I know right! I laughed when Geralt asked about the fences lol.
I am pretty sure Roach is something like the Horse Version of Gaunter O'Dimm
Witcher 3 is the special kind of thing that happens when the devs do their craft with total love for their work, without interference from publishers, and don't settle for doing "just a game". I had already loved Witcher 2 for the very same reasons I love W3, but W3 expanded on W2 by ten-fold. This game is such an absolute masterpiece that it has ruined gaming for me. All the other action/rpg games now seem so bland and poor.
After seeing Bethesda get sloppy and negligent with Fallout 4, and Bioware being just a warm distant memory, CD Projekt Red is currently my only hope in the genre for seeing delivering top-notch, instant-classic, masterpiece level material. Can't wait to see their current Cyberpunk project get released.

Totally the same thing here askavir. It has utterly ruined other games for me. I can't help drawing comparisons in other developers games and thinking that if CDP could do a certain aspects right then why can't you. Especially easy wins like voice acting.
Loved witcher 2 also but as you say witcher 3 just 10 folded that even. I didn't finish the first game but I enjoyed what I played enough to buy the second one.

It is most certainly the best PC rpg of its time. I do feel that other games are equally impressive in their own right, Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Persona 5 for example.
Will be very interesting to see what they do with Cyberpunk 2077, perhaps W3 will turn out to be the pinnacle of the studio's success and every subsequent game will be lacking in comparison, as has happened with so many other studios before now although I sincerely hope that's not the case.

Considering how much criticism they got with the whole downgrade controversy I wouldn't be surprised if they don't show anything until the final months.
