8 Years Later... More Details You Missed in The Witcher 3.

[@xLetalis]

Thank you everyone for being here after such a long time! Also yes, the 8th anniversary is actually a week from today, but I may not be able to publish another similar video at that point so I thought I should celebrate it now :)

[@Imperious123]

Thoughts on the new patch?

[@silmarlis9449]

Thank you

[@shadow_song]

thank you for your AMAZING input and effort! your effort will always be greatly appreciated by the witcher community!

My KZbin feed has gotten so boring but ur videos always brings joy! Thank you!

[@emmelineboutinaud4581]

Hey, I saw a lot of theories saying that Gaunter O'Dill's name refers to God. Actually, I do not believe so. In the French version, his name is translated to Gaunter de Meuré, and GDM is not the abreviation of anything (god would be "dieu" un French). So, it may be a coincidence?

[@CallmeKenneth-tb1zb]

That cut scene was probably cut for pacing reasons, because it is quite long, which is a shame because it really gives you a feel for what's going on in the land, and how terrified the locals are of the Baron's men. Velen is probably the most tragic land in any game ever made.

[@xLetalis]

indeed

[@petrpinc7695]

I guess FromSoftware games contain a bit more tragic lands than poor Velen.

[@DBfan106]

@@petrpinc7695 Velen is tragic because elsewhere in the world are places like Toussaint or at least Novigrad, or hell even Skellige. those places are actually pretty decent places to live most of the time. Meanwhile in FromSoft games EVERYWHERE sucks. there is not one place that you hear about or can go to that is in any better condition than the place you're in.

[@petrpinc7695]

@@DBfan106 ok, that is a fair point of view.

[@savannahwise7058]

@@DBfan106it also hurts more to me because the issues that plague Velen are mostly issues that are realities for people irl. Hard to say the same for some of the more fantastical miseries seen in FromSoft games.

[@xLetalis]

And many years later you're still here Scarlett

[@darko-man8549]

@@xLetalis you supply them with fresh blood

[@MyUnsecretIdentity]

I think the shadow thing is more a practical choice by the devs. . So they were selective where it happens as more of an Easter egg in certain scenes like 2:45 , but they decided to keep the shadows in general because it would just make things visually too weird/awkward if characters like Regis were walking around without a shadow.

[@xLetalis]

you could be right

[@BaranoSekai]

I noticed the damage Roach causes now because I ran through a group of deers at Kaer Morhen and there was a strange sound I hadn't heard, then saw there was a dead doe. Took me a second encounter with another group of deers to understand what was happening 🤣🤣 didn't know it worked with foes too... good to know 🤣

[@jazzman7441]

A small detail i noticed from a Witcher mod that gives names to characters that should have them, David Artensbrow, the fire breather at the wedding you attend with Shani, is also found in Toussaint, near the palace gardens marker, during the quest where you first encounter Detlaff.

[@ms.wonder]

Happy 8th Anniversary to Witcher 3 aka one of the best games I've ever played Remembering the first time I've played this game, fascinating❤️ Also, lovin these detail videos, thank you!

[@xLetalis]

happy anniversary and thank you too :)

[@MrCoolAttitude]

This channel feels nostalgic everytime a Witcher video is out. Feels like just yesterday I played witcher 3. Can't believe it's been 8 years now. I wonder if we will ever get a new one.

[@MasterKing-25]

Hello. Thanks for mentioned to my channel in your video I learned great things about Witcher series in your videos. Its a honor you're mentioning to me ☺️

[@xLetalis]

hey, no problem and thank you again!

The shadow thing could also be an oversight, CDPR aren't immune to mistakes.

[@breakmanradio2530]

CD Projekt Red should put you on their payroll. Very, very few people would understand how much of a masterpiece it truly is without your insightful videos that demonstrate the absolutely extraordinary attention to detail that makes this game so immersive. I bought my first console in a decade and this game because of your videos.

[@xLetalis]

Thank you :) nice to hear I had such effect on you

[@BaSiC47]

I can't believe how deep you dive into this game. I played it completely trough 2x times and missed tons of details.

[@JayTCU]

I remember coming across that bandit and peasant conversation after sparring them at the inn at the crossroads and thought, “fck it, I’ll just enter crows perch through the underground again” and slaughtered them all.

[@alicat4201]

I can’t get enough of these missed details videos! Just when I think I’ve watched them all, out comes a new one! Thank you for all the amazing Witcher content you have put out ❤

[@xLetalis]

[@olivercash6586]

Please never stop this series

[@xLetalis]

I'll do my best not to ;]

[@Mr.Glidehook]

I can't even remember the first video of yours I watched. You have done more for this series than any promotional campaign could, and that kind of devotion to any game should be recognized and honored by the people who obviously put a lot of work and love into the creation of this classic and epic game, one of the few that ever repayed its buyers with a game worth far more than its sticker price. Gamers take a lot of heat, and your awesome videos stand as "Defense Exhibit A" in the case of why we don't deserve it. You're a true gamer and a rock star. Don't stop doing what you love. You're the best at this game or any other you've shown. 🎉❤

[@SebastianSalich]

My theory is that Vampieres themself don't cast shadows, but every piece of clotheing does. Why should the clothing change when worn by a vampire?

[@Wuptidoo]

That would make sense as to why the women cover up completely. If their shadow were missing a head and hands, only to show the covered parts. Then again, aren't higher vampires good at illusions?

[@yar3333]

@@Wuptidoo yes, and I think that higher vampires don't wear clothes, but make an illusion of that! That's why they are not real clothes (though why they wouldn't be able to wear them in principle...). So if it is an illusion, it doesn't cast a shadow, otherwise it does (and this could vary).

[@ulquiorraschiffer1956]

what the.....I discovered your channel when Blood and Wine was released. It's crazy how you are still making videos of undiscovered things in Witcher 3. Impressive work as always, dude 👍

So happy you are still making content. Might run through witcher 3 again!

[@xLetalis]

go for it ;]

[@Aone339]

Man wouldnt it be funny if CDPR came out and said the only reason they decided to not remove the shadows on vampires was because people kept reporting it as a bug. Especially in a cutscene you can notice these things and I wouldnt immediately assume thats intentional

[@benschulthies3621]

Holy shit, Udylryk still has the has shadow of the Hym at the end and it's visible?! That might be the most incredible detail in this game, even more than the salt that appears in front of the doors in Crow's Perch the night you are helping Dea leave her Botchling form and rest in peace. Seriously, no other game has ever been made with such love and care. And it's why W3 will always be the GOAT.

[@bd145dc]

Oh my god, it's been so longed, can't tell how much I missed this series.

[@zsuzsannaferenczi7119]

I found 2 things, but I'm not sure if they were already in the game or new. (sorry for my bad English, I use Google Translate and my own poor knowledge) 1. Sirens can knock you out of your boat. They attack from below and can tilt the ship to the side, and you fall out of it. The ship does not take damage after you fall out of it, it returns to its original position. 2. This is simple and more "old" than a new discovery, maybe I haven't experienced it before. Geralt's new phrase "A storm is coming."

[@Rosol1997]

11:30 I left a comment about it in one of your previous videos, I'm glad that you confirmed it for us :) Keep doing great stuff.

It's such a great way to give you even more info as to what's going on in Velen at the time of your arrival and in line with the timeless tradition of getting information..

indeed!

this is SUPER random, but it took me a ridiculously long to realise that Uma's name is titled "Ugliest Man Alive", U M A, and THAT is where his name comes from, not the fact that his sounds only sound like "uma uma"

I spent a little too much time running over enemies with the wild horses in skellige a couple of months ago, then my horse's tail randomly turned purple and pink 😂 then I ran back to the herd of wild horses to see if their tails were also purple and pink, and they were 😂 I think it was a glitch but I have footage if you're interested :) also I noticed that if you kill an animal by running it over, the screen shakes when you get off the horse. I found it peculiar and wondered if there was anything more to it. I might be wrong though 😅 if there's anyone that can figure it out, it's Letalis ❤️ awesome video btw, I love how passionate you are for the game 😊

In the cut dialogue at the end, the bartender makes reference to "Cemetaurs and Strixens", are those local names for necrophages like Nekkers or Ghouls/Alghouls? I was thinking if those were cut monster creatures it could be a reason why the dialogue was cut, but that does seem like a bit of an over-reaction considering they could just use audio editing to cut that line out instead, so it seems unlikely
