Designing the Quests of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[@The_Burning_Sensation]

The Bloody Baron is one of the most layered and authentic-feeling characters I've ever seen in a video game. He's like something out of a novel.

[@RanochVTX]

The Burning Sensation I loved the Barron like a brother and was heartbroken to see him so sad.

he is infact out of a novel. The whole game is based on a novel series the witcher

The Witcher 3 has, without a doubt, the greatest collection of side quests I have ever seen in a video game. And really it's not even close.

[@olgastepanov8479]

I have a tendency to do everything out of order, as I'm an explorer by nature and love open world RPGs.

[@RustCohle072]

Blood and Wine has some of the best side quests in the series. Like A Warble of a Smitten Knight, and Equine Phantoms. Geralt's expression when he realised he couldn't understand what Roach was saying anymore was heartbreaking

[@nevan9572]

Before playing Witcher 3, I had no idea what the franchise was about. Just wanted to give the third one a try and I can honestly say that I was completely blown away at what I was missing all these years. The quests (Main and Side), The characters, The world, The Lore and everything about it was magical and extraordinary. As a gamer, I am happy there are games like 'The Witcher 3'. EDIT: Great documentary Danny. One of my fav channels on KZbin :)

[@lsaacN7]

I'm just glad we have a company like CDPR in this industry. They haven't managed to win me over personally, but as long as they continue to lean more into RPG elements and gameplay improvements I don't think they will ever produce a disappointing product.

[@lsaacN7]

+Vig Gurumurphy I would actually be perfectly okay judging it as such if only for the fact that from the beginning the Witcher series has had stat progression and, more importantly from my perspective, dialogue options. Ignoring how limited both of those elements are the only thing they are missing to make it a full on RPG in my eyes is complete character customization and ignoring physical appearance one could also argue customizing Geralt's clothes counts for that as well. All this being said I'm completely fine with Witcher 3 as it is as a stepping stone for the company. They've only made 3 games and a pre-established character like Geralt let them limit what could reasonably let you do, and it works as a completely reasonable excuse. It just won't hold up as well if they want me to feel a character is mine like in normal RPGs.

[@FootprintsForTwoTravel]

Pretty cool idea. For me, the music is what makes this game perfect to me...

[@NoclipDocs]

We cover the music in the final video, be sure to check back!

[@NoclipDocs]

SPOILER WARNING: In case you missed the start of the video, this episode does talk about end-game quests, and many more along the way. So please stop watching and complete the game if you plan to. We don't touch the story of the DLCs so if you've yet to play Hears of Stone or Blood & Wine you'll be okay. If you have any specific questions, please ask here and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Thanks for watching! This is part 4 of 6 - so expect new videos on Wednesday (Localization) and Friday (Everything Else).

[@ConfusionPlus2]

Thanks for the warning, I'll skip this episode for now. I was going to not watch any of this documentary series till I played the games, but that first episode was just so good I couldn't stop. I noticed there wasn't any spoilers in episode 1-3, so thanks for keeping them spoiler free too. I can enjoy this documentary, get a better appreciation of the games, AND have basically no spoilers? Feels like I'm having my cake and eating it.

[@NoclipDocs]

FYI there are some light spoilers in the next one too. We'll put a warning on it also.

[@oki1823]

Does it reference any events in the main story? Because I got decent amount into Witcher 3 but unfortunately never finished it. Furthest I got was the start of Kaer Morhen.

You may have not accounted for playtime with organic gameplay, but you also forgot about the players who searched every. single. house. two times over for alcohest. This game is 500 hours long if you have an illogical fear of missing hidden items.

[@alexa.davronov1537]

​@@Changetheling What do you mean by saying "triple-checking" and "disastrous memory"? That's really long play tbh. I've almost finished the second playthrough for 30 hours or less. I've used cheatengine to ease gaming though but it saved me a lot of time and allowed to experience everything again and much quicker. The first playthrough though took me 200+ hours, including DLCs.

[@Terkzorr]

Over the past 4 months I've played the game and only now have finished it. It was about 200h for the main quest and HOS and 70 for Blood and Wine for 270h total. Though as someone said in another Witcher 3 noclip video now the Witcher 3 withdrawal symptoms slowly start for me and I feel like starting all over again but making different choices in all the quests.

[@Rastafunrise86]

I love that part where Mateusz was talking about how it can feel odd when you go to a place in a game where you can see something is going to happen later there in a quest, but it is not happening yet because you have to start the quest somewhere else before that and how immersion breaking it can be. It happened to me a few times in other games and Witcher 3 did an absolutely amazing job avoiding this.

[@satchboogie2058]

It actually took me a couple of weeks to finish the main quest. Then I did a second playthrough and it took me about 3 years. At some points I didn't even wanted to play the game knowing that the more I played the closer it was to the end. Finishing the game and it's expansions left a bittersweet taste. On one hand it was the best game I've ever played and I couldn't believe I finished it, on the other hand, well.... now what am I supposed to do with my life?

[@sam_making_games]

[@brogantrull]

[@tt_the_blackout7133]

I know that feeling. I recently got Horizon: zero dawn because of all the great reviews it got, but I can't help but feel dissapointed because I'm just not nearly as invested as with TW3 and its expansions. The quests feel boring, the cinematography feels clunky, the side characters feel flat and one-dimensional, the world doesn't feel alive, the main story is cliché, the main character doesn't have an interesting personality, I could go on and on (those were all opinions of course:). That doesn't mean that Horizon: zero dawn is bad game, it's just that TW3 created really high expectations for games in the same genre. If I hadn't played TW3, Horizon would probably be one of my favorite games, but now it's one of my least favorite just because TW3 outshines it so heavily in my opinion. I really hope more games will try to learn for TW3, but realisticly the next great open world game is either going to be from Rockstar or CD Project.

[@GuntherSchmidl]

I almost agree, but Divinity: Original Sin 2 is fantastic, and I also really liked Torment: Tides of Numenera.

[@skibumb220]

[@NatrajChaturvedi]

They contain mostly the same gameplay loop that the rest of the game has but its the fact that they so many of them are well written is what makes them special (unlike the trashy writing that Bethesda games have)

[@Deeplycloseted435]

There are several youtubers who have many videos displaying secret dialogue experiences if you do quests out of order. This makes this game so cool.

[@zrasam]

And I still can't believe there are some people said that Skyrim story and quest is better than Witcher 3. its fine if you like Skyrim over Witcher 3, after all we all have our own preferences. But to say Skyrim story is better than Witcher 3? Tsk tsk.

[@thedarkness125]

Considering the primary storyline has been secondary since ES inception it is completely irrelevant and idiotic to compare the two. Interactive media is unique in this way that drawing comparisons between these entirely subjective things is irrelevant and makes little to no sense.

[@babw]

You are telling me there might have been a quest where Geralt would dress like a Wild Hunt warrior and try to assasinate a general of them? That would have been soo cool, we would get more insights about Wild Hunt and all. This game's quests are so good that some people, including myself, wish there were even more of them, and find the end game a bit short and rushed. That assasination quest would fit perfectly I guess. Anyway, great video, enjoyed every minute of it.

[@jaggedcut8603]

As of October 9, 2017, I firmly believe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the greatest game ever made by far. No game even comes close. Sorry Horizon: Zero Dawn, sorry every Nintendo game, I apologize to every CoD ever made. Every RPG or action game... take a back seat! WWH is master!!! CDPR is the master as well! Love my WB publisher! Best games and movies! I am so grateful that devs like CDPR exist who stuff excellency and content into their games and DO NOT kill us with microtransactions, loot crates, or over priced DLC. The 2 Witcher DLCs were like another entire game for 30 bucks! Thank you!!! Thank you Noclip for your hard work and giving these great devs the spot light! Exemplary work!!

[@BackfallGenius]

I was convinced that it was the best game I had ever played back in 2015 and over two years later, that still holds true. The DLCs absolutely knocked it out of the park and sealed the deal for this game.

[@9Nails]

I agree. Best game I have ever, ever played - by far!

[@BonusEggs4Sale]

Why is it a zero sum game? Do you also have a Best Song Ever, Best Band Ever, Best Novel Ever? It's just weird that gamers feel everything has to be competitive among the things they enjoy. TW3 is A great game. There is no greatest game ever because no game can be the best in every facet. If you really think so, play more games. TW3 scratches an itch, but sometimes I've got a different itch that can only be scratched by another game (rpg or otherwise).

[@jon-umber]

Just brilliant the way they designed these quests and how they added such depth to them all. In almost every case when they specifically identify something they added later in the process, it made the quest so much better, eg. fleshing out the Baron. What a wonderful game.

[@iamtheduke87]

"The team at CDPR meticulously designed the opening area of Velen to ensure that players hit certain points while still feeling free and in control of their destiny." You can't escape your destiny. How very in the spirit of the Witcher.

[@WolfWraithGames]

I think that was really smart what they did with the travelling merchant. I think that's something that made me enjoy The Witcher 3 more than any other open world RPG, was how the quests were done in such an open way that if you accidentally did a part of the quest that was meant to come later, it didn't break the game & more importantly it allowed it. I also liked how some quests could intertwine without ever relating to each other, like 1 quest might say "go an explore this cave for a mushroom" but you just so happen to have a contract in your log and in front of the cave you stumble on the monsters trail which can lead you elsewhere. It made the distractions feel very organic because if you weren't paying attention, it actually felt like it was all part of the same quest, like "oh I guess I need to follow these tracks before finding this mushroom" or something like that.

[@Kyle_Daden]

The dimension/world hopping sequence was probably my favorite part of the game! Separate hubs would have been AMAZING!!!

[@crozraven]

Speaking of Undvik, that was practically what I did upon arriving - reconnaissance of the north coast and came across a set of CSI Witcher clues of graves and other items which weren't related to [The Lord of Undvik] quest so I left them alone thinking they were for another side quest, and explored the island's features in a non-linear fashion quest wise. Took me quite a while to finally get the quest progressing according to the "direction" it was intended. Ultimately upon seeing Hjalmar home, the north coast "clues" went dead without me triggering any separate quest that would've made use of them. I never got to discover what they were meant for.

[@aritark]

i'll have to make a point of going to undvik first and talk to hjalmar the next time i'll play through the game

[@Michaeluj]

I remember all of those times that I completed a monster contract without accepting it (just killing monster because), then wandering away from the site to find some peasants (whom I never met) gladly offer me a sack of coins for my troubles. Woo hoo! Free loot!

[@BL00DYME55]

I love how much fun the devs are having just talking about the game. Many of them have fond memories, and funny stories, and even making Danny laugh. That's what real passion looks like. Take note EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard, Bethesda and pretty much every other triple A developer out there.

[@Gusbus1138]

the one quest from this game that really stands out in my mind is the one from blood and wine when you get the run around at a bank for like 30 minuets. I couldn't believe it, I was smiling the entire time I was in the bank. even tho i didn't kill a single monster or bandit the way CDPR was able to make something like that enjoyable is absolutely incredible in my mind. unreal quest verity in this game.

[@yar3333]

[@TheStowAway594]

I think CD projekt's inexperience in open-world games really made a huge difference, because they tried and implemented so many incredible things that other companies would dismiss or overlook because of established open-world patterns/mechanics. And 100 hours..really! I have over 1000 hours in Witcher 3 and I'm not even done with blood and wine yet. The world is just to beautiful and fascinating, I always just end up wanderering around discovering these small but amazing details in the game world.

I was really blown a way by the size of the world, like I was thinking that the White Orchard was a really big map. And after that when the actual world opens for you, it was freaking huge!

But when you start, you don't wanna stop, and I ended up playing like 4-5 hours in a row :D

The pan quest was referring to Thaler? Wow, am I the only one who didn't catch that?

[@Welshhokkers]

To be honest I missed that... Seems obvious now but thought it was mainly refering to the Nilfgardian spy you are later meant to hook up with.

that damn monacle no-one needs and always stays in the quest tab .. grrr xD

I only watched the first 5 minutes and already love your channel.

This is one of the things that surprised me the most and I loved about the witcher 3...that you can complete quest while exploring without speaking to the quest giver...then just talk to them later and tell them you already did that where's my reward....it encourages you to explore

[@Barney25252525]

i enjoyed this a lot. thank you.

[@karlklein2263]

I love listening to these people talk about their craft

[@yurijedi49]

Man I would love it if you did a whole segment just on Pawel and his Family Matters. That quest has no precedents whatsoever in gaming history, I still think on it to this day.

9:32 I love that they brought this back in the next gen update

[@ataman329]

BASICALLY, this was a nice watch... BASICALLY!

Tue Bloody Baron Questline was one helluva difficult one for me. I'm 31 and knew what I was signing up for when I chose to buy and play a mature game. Violence, language, sex, war, etc isn't an issue. But running into a main quest with an alcoholic father who is abusive to his daughter brought up traumatic flashbacks that I just wasn't prepared for. Very specific sequence of events there threw me for a loop. Now I know what to expect and will be able to handle this game better my next playthrough. But man, that was rough
