In Blood and wine there is a side quest where roach or rather originally ,,Płotka" speaks, but no spoilers, you should really play, i would love your reaction to so many things. However, if you don't want to play i would like to see a reaction to ,,Prisccila song". in my opinion the polish version is the best but english version is ok too.

This is something interesting about gaming culture, and cinematic trailers for games in general. A Night to Remember for example: many things you see in the trailer are actually options that the player can use or face inside of the game itself. The enemy Geralt faces, the "Black Blood" potion that he drinks at the start of the fight, the medallion alerting to danger, the bomb he throws to reveal the vampire, the crossbow, etc. Not all gaming companies do that, but many like to show off some of their features that the player can actually interact with through these more cinematic uses of them. If a player is prepared properly, an actual fight in the game could actually go down incredibly similar to what you see here, possibly right down to the severing of the vampire's arm.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

😳😳😳😳 COOOOOOOOOL

[@ZrodyApo]

Might I add that the cinematic "A Night to Remember" portrays what happens long after the whole ending of the game and that they released it as the trailer of the game before its release. You start to connect the dots once you finish the game and its expansions and then you realise that the trailer which promote the game was an ending of the story even before you knew what will happen in the game (I hope it's clear enough 😂 )

[@jerekheadrick3379]

I would say at least 80% of gaming companies do not accurately portray gameplay in cinematic trailers.

[@maciejkleszczynski9808]

Your comment is great, but i would like to correct one thing that is the medallion. It doesn't detect danger. What it does detect tho is magic. In this scenario Geralt got the idea the Vampire turned invisible, because she needed to use magic to do that. If she didnt use magic the Medallion would act as normal. I dont exactly remember how well was it illustrated in the game itself but it was a pretty big thing in the book (I only read the first one from the series)

[@spiderturtle5292]

@@maciejkleszczynski9808 Meh. In Geralt's line of work, it can often be interpreted as the same thing. In the games, Geralt often comments about danger nearby when it reacts, so that's likely where I got the idea from. Besides, the conversation was between what the trailer shows and game mechanics. Book lore really has no place in that conversation considering how the medallion works as a game mechanic.

[@scattysafari7742]

@@HannaHsOverInvested The games are amazing. You know how sometimes games make it obvious which is the 'bad' choice and which is the virtuous one? This game doesn't. You can make a choice with the best intentions and STILL have a terrible ending.There's a quest involving releasing an imprisoned spirit from a tree. I won't spoil, but you really cannot tell if the spirit is good or evil, so you just have to trust your gut. What you decide can have awful consequences for a man whose wife ran away. You really cannot see the bad ending coming. All you can decide and hope it's the best choice. Also, being a helicopter parent to Ciri seems natural. You want to protect her. But doing that is so not a good idea. The grey morality of the game is really interesting. Also the soundtrack is incredible.

The song in ‘night to remember’ is ‘Lullaby of Woe’ sang by monsters to their children to teach them to be afraid of Witchers.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Interesting.

[@crypticcryptid4702]

The fight scene music is 'A Hole in the Sun' by Two Steps from Hell and I just appreciate that.

[@barba3377]

not really, it is a song that speaks about witcher but is not sang by monsters, it is actually sang by commoners. in the world of the witcher series witchers are actually despised by people, they are seen as monsters paid to kill other monsters, a "necessary evil". so the lullaby of woe is actually sang by ignorant commonfolk demonizing witchers since the early days of children. It's basically the perpetration of ill stereotypes trough seemingly innocent acts such as singing a song to put a child to sleep.

[@DuyHa1001]

Yea....... Not many monsters can speak human words. And even fewer that care enough to sing to the children. They just eat the children.

[@MrAlathiel]

@@barba3377 no, it definitely is a song that sentient monsters, mainly higher vampires, sing to their children. Maybe at some point humans adopted it, but it definitely is meant to be from the perspective of a monster, that should be silent and hide from the boogeyman (witcher), because he will cut you up for gold. Witchers dont get paid to kill children. They get paid to kill monsters.

[@chance757]

ok so i’ll try to sum some things up, let me know if i didn’t make something clear enough! :) there are many different types of games and the witcher 3 is an rpg which means “role playing game”. in this game, that role is geralt. just as you’d have a main character to follow in a book or movie, he’s the medium through which you experience this game. it’s his story. there are hundreds of rpg type games like ‘dungeons and dragons’ or even ‘the sims’. what makes them different are the settings, characters, way you play etc. pretty much the same things that would make any story different from another. this game takes place after the tv show btw. maybe a good 6 or 7 years. sidenote: witcher 3 is actually the most awarded game in history, not just out of rpgs but out of every game ever created! it’s my favorite game so i’m always happy to share that fact lol. to address a couple comments you made: yes, geralt is very jingly😂😂 that medallion he wears is actually very useful! it vibrates to let him know if there’s danger around. certain monsters, magic, some deceptions, it alerts him to them all! although he couldn’t see the bruxxa (female vampire) his medallion vibrating told him she was still close. also, i don’t know if you noticed but that was what the glitter was for. it clung to her outline making her visible. and good on you for noticing that the potion he drank was what affected her! a lot of people don’t! oh and the gravely voice you heard here is actually what henry cavil based his own voice off of in the show. he’s a big fan of the books AND the games! hope i cleared a couple things up and i apologize for the essay. i noticed you mentioned having an addictive personality under another comment and that’s just how i am too! anyway, all things witcher used to be one of my obsessions and it’s coming out now lol. really do hope this helped in some way!!

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

If its vibrating to let him know danger is around, its also letting the danger know he’s around haha! And I think maybe they both based their voice off of throat cancer batman… but hat might just be me. I did hear Henry Cavil is a big nerd and begged to play Geralt which is pretty cool!

[@chance757]

@HannaH's Over Invested geralt’s voice is described as gravelly and unpleasant in the book so that’s what the game voice actor went for😂😂 i don’t know who had it first since the first book came out in the early 90s

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

@@chance757 ahhh I see. That makes sense.

[@bogna8877]

​@@HannaHsOverInvested actually second trailer is a backstory which Geralt in the show is referring to in a first episode. He is talking to the Roach about killing his "first monster". The hooded man riding with Geralt is his mentor. We will meet him in second season.

[@Worldclass_6]

@@bogna8877 Cool idea but I don't think that's true. The trailer talks about the emperor of Nilfgaard and no mans land. That doesn't fit the timeline. *Spoilers* This is the very beginning of the game when Geralt and Vesemir search for Yennifer. Lambert refers to this moment later in the game.

To me role playing games are like interactive movies where your choices and actions affect the story. I've only played witcher 3 but I think all the games take place after the books so he's older than in the tv show and the books. Happy belated birthday by the way 😊

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Thank youuuuuu!!!

[@creaturecore13]

Witcher 1 starts a few years after the end of the books and where the tv show will leave off. Witcher 3 spoiled the ending for you if you where paying attention to all the lore and dialogue choices, but easy to miss if you didnt. So might still be a surprise for you. Witcher 2 makes it impossible to not know the ending of the books/tv show. Its already been stated the show will follow the books exactly for the ending.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

@@creaturecore13 good to know! Thank you!

[@CP-ll6qg]

Totally. Geralt having amnesia at the start of the series was a really clever role-playing choice by the creators. It let the games pick up a huge complex story without alienating players who knew nothing about the books. A dwarf will walk up to you like "Geralt! My good friend!" and you gotta learn who he is. Or even better, "You bitch! We have a score to settle fight me!" and the character is just as confused as you are, but they think you're bullshitting if you say you don't remember so you gotta fake like you know what's up. In the Witcher 2 especially, finding clues about your life is part of the plot and gameplay that leads directly to you seeking out Yen (who you had forgotten existed), and transition to the opening of Witcher 3.

[@JohnTheSten]

I have to recommend you the first 2 games too. Without them huge part of joy and experience is missing to you. And the serie has also some important bonds with games. SPOILER- for example the matter of dragon egg... :)

[@inspektical2393]

Kinda late to the party here but there's one thing for me specifically that can make games better than movies and be right up there with books as an entertainment medium that I haven't seen many people mention. It's the factor that YOU are in control of the character and his/her actions. It's easy to downplay that small and obvious aspect, but in all stories, be it movies or books, the author needs to make sure you empathize and relate to a character in order to have any sort of impact on the viewer. With games, relatability is easier to achieve than any other medium since you are the one making the choices, so when something goes bad, you instantly think "that's on me". It's the ultimate form of stepping into someone else's shoes. I think that's a major element in why I have cried more times playing games than I have watching movies or reading books. The connection to the main character surpasses anything a 2 hour movie or a 250 page book could achieve.

[@MrFlyindog]

The witcher is a non-linear story based game. Witch means that there is a main story that allows you to chose on witch side you fight (even nilfguard if you want to). The game also allows you to just forget about the main story and just help some old lady to find cooking tools if that is what you prefer to do

The short of it is that a lot of story can go into games because a lot of them are at least 20 hrs long. The Witcher 3 was 125hrs for me. I'm sure you could watch the "movie" version of the game on KZbin somewhere if you're no gamer lol

@@HannaHsOverInvested I could not imagine writing a story THAT long. It's no surprise that video games take 5-8 years to make. Their next game Cyberpunk 2077 was announced back in 2013 and is only being released this year. I looked up the movie version of Witcher 3 and it's 13 hours of JUST the main story. Doesn't include side missions that also have great stories and the DLC (extra content post release) which had the best story in Hearts of Stone.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

@@undertakenheart Oh wow! I had no idea they took that long but thinking about it, it TOTALLY makes sense when you have to go in depths in different paths. WILD!!

[@caffeinedelusions]

In fairness, part of the trick to getting a game that long is to tell lots of stories in it in ways that seamlessly interact. Witcher 3's main story is equivalent to about a television season's worth of serialized storytelling, and the secondary quests are more like bite-sized short stories to take in along the way.

Even in the easiest setting, it's a breeze for anyone used to playing action games, but I expect it would be quite challenging for someone that isn't used to gaming at all. Personally, I would probably start with Portal 1. It too does have a story, but that's not why. I just think it's an excellent game for a first-time gamer to learn about moving and orientation. The very basics of gaming. It also helps that it's a stellar game in on its own right as well. It's also not the longest game ever, which makes it easier to use as a jumping platform to gaming in a wider sense. I'd choose Portal because of its excellent tutorial starting with very basics and because of its strong theme of just learning to move your character in ways you might not have thought about before. to what you see in other games.

The first episode of the Netflix series is actually based on one of the short stories in "The Last Wish" book. That story is titled "The Lesser Evil." The episode where Geralt goes to Cintra at the request of Queen Calanthe and deals with the proposed wedding of Princess Pavetta...the one where the helmeted knight turns out to be cursed and looks like a hedgehog was based on a short story in the same book titled "A Question of Price." So far a lot of the episodes are based on the short stories. Geralt's primary love interest in the Netflix series, Yennifer, doesn't even appear until the last short story in the book titled "The Last Wish." In the three GAMES, Yennifer is barely mentioned in the first two...Geralt's main love interest is Triss Merigold, another sorceress and a human healer named Shani.

games and films/tv series have a lot in common at least when it comes to trying to tell a story, the difference is that in games you need to figure out how to progress the story yourself instead of just watching, I think it's a lot more immersive but everyone can't or doesn't see the point in spending 20+ hours completing a game

[@s.p.o.o.k.s.1]

Hay!! I actually found myself subscribing! Well done haha I really love your enthusiasm towards stuff that's new! You don't really see that much anymore, plus the Witcher franchise is really close to my heart! Theirs usually quite a big world and lots of lore behind successful stories like the Witcher or the Elderscrolls that make them what they are, sometimes the world created is so vast a game on it sits like a book inside it's vast library! But yes! Games are unique! Not like films in the sense that you sit and watch cover to cover from whatever the directors want you to see, a game allows you to take a story and tailor it around you through open choices! If your new to gaming it can be difficult to get used to the controller's and navigating the menus and what button does what, but! If you ride that out and stay patient, well well worth the hassle! And some wonderful stories await you! Like Nathan drakes uncharted or the tale of Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, these are truly wonderful examples please try them! You won't be disappointed I promise you!

Expecting 40+ years of culture surrounding an ever evolving medium that made the jump from toy to art form in just under 20 to be explained in a "short comment" is like a baby dumping a box of cereal on the floor: both adorable and incredibly frustrating. The easiest way to think about it is like this: if some movies are like short books but with moving pictures instead of written words, than some videogames are like long movies but the plot doesn't move forward unless you give it some kind of input. Sometimes that input can be simple, like pressing left and right to keep a kart on the track. Other times that input can be extremely complex like choosing between releasing an evil spirit that was a plant but now's a horse so it can rescue a group of small children from a terrible fate but dooming a poor cursed woman to a painful death in the process; or lifting the woman's curse by letting those children die so she can return home to her violent abusive husband with the knowledge that like a BUNCH of kids got Hansel-&-Gretel-ed all because she had a miscarriage when he drunkenly pushed her down the stairs. If you're interested at all about trying to get into gaming I would NOT recommend The Witcher 3. It's fantastic, of course, but it's got a ridiculously steep learning curve, even for experienced gamers. I would recommend Life is Strange as a good introduction to gaming. It's short, easy to play, well written with a compelling story, and most importantly: inexpensive.

So the thing with The Witcher is that it's originally a book series. That got turned into a series of games, went viral and recently became a Netflix Series. The story over the course of the Netflix show is essentially the origin story of the games, based on one of the books. The first game's introductory cutscene/launch trailer is also shown in one of the Netflix episodes.

The medallion around his neck is enchanted. It vibrates when he is near a source of magic, that's why it jingles in the barn in the first trailer. Also, I'm not sure if you have already, but if you haven't, you should definitely read the books. They are brilliant.

[@HunterSentinel]

Video games are interactive stories. The same way that a movie, tv show, and book tells a story, except this way you can be the character. The best video games in my opinion focus on the story being good. Some are silly, some are dramatic, some are action packed, and some are long and drawn out. If you like a good story and an engaging story then pick up gaming!!! Seriously my greatest piece of advice/life lesson I can give you is is to get into video games. Start on easy if your not good at the game, but focus on the story. How good you are doesn’t matter, only that you enjoy yourself and love the game in the end! SERIOUSLY PICK UP VIDEOGAMING!!! You already seem like a fan of scifi and fantasy so you shouldn’t have to much trouble getting into the various stories. Ask your fans and followers to suggest videogame trailers and amazing games, START STREAMING YOUR EXPERIENCES AND ASKING FOR HELP FROM CHAT!!!

The amazing thing about the "A night to remember" trailer is that it is actually the epilogue to the whole game. This happened apparently after all the events in the game has taken place.

[@vornamenachname4298]

Gaming Culture: Some games have no story at all, and some are so full of it that you could fill several books with it. Imagine a movie, or a book, where you could actively participate, make decisions, and thus influence the outcome of the movie or book: That's Gaming Culture.

[@k.c.s.4455]

the full on immersion you looked like you had in the beginning of the fight in "a night to remember" that is a gamer state of mind at points when your really into the storyline as more than pixels on a screen and it was amazing to see.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

[@Vitalabyss]

Playing campaign based (solo) games is like reading a book. But the details are visuals. And you control the hero/villains actions. In the Witcher series and similar games, your choices actually effect the story like a choose your own adventure novel.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

I'm learning this!!

[@ISoloYouRelax]

The best way to explain a game is it's an interactive movie, one that you can "watch" at your own pace. It's also like when you're watching a movie and you have questions that yoy have to wait to get answers to, you get to run around and explore the area and get the answers you want. There is so much more that I could explain but I'll leave at this as a short comment.

Hey Hannah! Yes, games like the Witcher 3 allows the storyteller to take their time in guiding you through the story that they want to tell, without time constraints (like a TV show episode, only 1 hour, etc.). CD Projekt Red are AMAZING storytellers. You can play the Witcher 3 as a standalone game (which was my first foray into the Witcher Universe) and get so much out of it. There's so much detail and nuances in the stories that it's fun to find out how different choices affect the overall story.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

Thanks for the info!

[@kolapon6832]

Usually rpg (role-playing) games of this genre, meaning having cinematic conversations, are my favourite. The Witcher, Dragon Age, Mass Effect are all of this genre. And the best thing is that if you are non-gamer, like yourself, they have story modes where the combat is easy and you can just play for the story, and the beautiful worlds.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

I am learning so much from talking to people about games. I will start gaming one day, but not for a while, as I'm trying to write my next novel.

[@caffeinedelusions]

Honestly, if The Witcher as a setting and story is up your alley, the Dragon Age games are likely to be as well.

[@PowerThirteen]

7:10 it's his mentor Vesimir who tells him to make it quick, but you joked about it being his horse and I had to mention...there's a quest in the game where Geralt uses some sort of hallucinogen he hasn't used before to track down a monster, and he's not sure what its side effects will be. One of the side effects he discovers is that Roach starts talking to him! Their conversation is based around certain aspects of the horse controls, so it might not be as funny for someone who hasn't played the game.

[@Pumpernickel420]

That jingling he was making was his medallion it hums when magical entities and or residue are nearby

[@blablubb4553]

Some games, especially role playing games like the Witcher in particular, have a long and complex story from beginning to end with memorable characters and locations, much like a tv series or series of movies. The story of the Witcher is one of the best in gaming history, and it has moments that have literally moved some invested players to tears, because they‘ve grown so attached to Geralt and his friends as characters and feel for them when they experience hardship and loss. Basically, video games are an art form and an interactive story telling medium that can in some cases rival what movies and tv shows are capable of.

[@JohnTheSten]

The important aspect of gaming is that you are part of deep story. You are the one making decisions, fighting monsters, in games, especialy masterpiece like Witcher, you will become hero, monsterslayer, you can talk to awesome characters and see the story flow and set it's direction. That's reason why i love Witcher saga - games, serie and books. It's close to me because Witcher contains many aspects of slavic mythology and culture, Andrej Sapkowski is polnish autor and i'm czech. I've seen whole serie, played all 3 gorgeous games and now i'm reading Blood of Elves.... and also i'm working on Geralt's cosplay...yeah...i love Witcher!

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

I'm reading the last wish! Albeit, slowly.

[@danieltukua4527]

The medallion Geralt wears shakes whenever danger or magic is near which is why it was shaking as he entered the barn The potion he drank in the first trailer is called a Black Blood potion. Basically it poisons the witchers blood so that when the vampire drinks from their veins it slowly kills them, like a weak but consistent acid in their body which is why she was so decomposed by the time the sun rose.

[@LukiKruki]

In the Witcher 3 near the tree of this trailer you can find a village. Its all villagers are killed. You never know if the woman or Nilfgard guards killed them. You never know if Geralt did the right choice. Just like Stregobor said about Renfir in the books.

[@aaronherazo5309]

The medallion hums when there are monsters or magic near. Very perceptive!

[@DrRoo91]

I'm very happy to see that you're becoming a big Witcher fan! This was the reaction I wanted for people don't even know what a Witcher is. Here's why I believe you would love the books and the games more than the show. Netflix really missed a lot of opportunities from the actual source material. I won't get into details but as a fan who read the books and played the games, the show was really hard to watch. Sapkowski wrote such a damn good story and it didn't need any tweaking or changes. I understand you have to cut out material from the books to make any show adaptation; but Netflix actually cut out many of the good parts that actually hurt overall story and world building. Honestly, in my personal opinion, the show runners, the writers and even the actors don't really know the source material and have no clue what they're doing half the time. Here's what the game's got right. CD Projekt Red did their absolute best to follow Sapkowski's source material. Their story is not perfect but they did their absolute best and even improved as the games went on. They had an obsession of detail to make sure Sapkowski's world came to life. The game constantly makes references to the books so if you read the books, you would actually have a better experience. Give the books and games a shot. You will not be disappointed.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

[@noah4279]

To answer your question about The medallion on his chest yes it does help him it vibrates when monsters are nearby

[@kavar5733]

the script for witcher 3 is over 450,000 lines of dialog, requiring a total of 950 speaking roles. Storytelling is a big part of games called Rpg (role playing games) and games can often pull on emotions more then movies/tv shows because your the one either making the choice, or happening to you. A huge game like witcher 3 is over 100 hours long to playthrough

[@borislav1212]

Games and especially RPG's let you experience stories in a way that movies never could. The fact that you actually make choices that decide the fate of characters and the whole world around you and see the changes happening is what makes them the most immersive kind of media out there. The Witcher 3 has the best story and world building I have ever seen out of the many games I've played. Unlike most other RPG's, The Witcher 3 doesn't make you the centre of its universe. You are not a hero that saves the world, you're just a witcher on The Path. That fact makes the world really believable and immersive. Just walking down a road and listening to the crowds, the people having normal everyday conversations makes you feel that this game has been made with lots of love and care.

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

People are telling me its the best game ever! I'm a little confused at why so many are comparing games to movies. Kind of seems like apples and oranges to me. Both fruit, but very different.

[@celticbabs3105]

The Witcher 3 game is not just a game.... It's an *experience.* It has the power to transport your heart and soul to another world and fall in love with the characters you meet. If you read the books prior to playing, it just invests that even more. It's truly unlike anything you've ever seen especially the Blood and Wine DLC which the 'Night to Remember' trailer was about.

I don't know if this has been answered yet, but since you mentioned that you'd like to know how video game story progression works I'll try to answer: In The Witcher and other role playing games (RPGs) story progression and character development usually comes from completing quests (think of these like episodes of a TV series) which grant you various rewards (experience, resources, equipment) as well as plot points or information about the world the story is set in. Quests in the witcher usually fall into one of 3 categories: Main Quests (used to progress the overall story and eventually finish the game) Side quests (used to tell smaller more personal stories relating to important characters or factions, or to provide lore on wherever you are) and Contracts (requests given by villagers and townsfolk to hunt down a particular monster or creature causing trouble in the community) By completing these kinds of quests the player is able to experience the story of the game at their own pace Hope that was informative:)

" Rpg" genre games ( Role Play Games), are basiccaly a genre of Vdgames that you could consider as dozens of hour film in which you are the hero. Which means you do everything in the character's life, and that the story behind it evovles accordingly to your choices etc...

[@ericmontiel3234]

The Witcher 3 showed me that video games, when done right, is THE BEST medium for story telling I have ever seen

[@darksteelyurius]

So I'm like 3 years too late but here goes. Games these days have LOTS of writing put into them. Games like the Witcher 3 are a prime example of that. They figured out that you can tell a story more effectively if they give the target audience actual control over major decisions. Imagine if you were watching a movie and were able to select what the main character did at pivotal points during the story. It would make you resonate more with that character by the end right? That is kind of what they are going for. Not all games are like this. Obviously if you play sports based games you won't get a killer storyline lol. But yeah just a simple short comment on why games have so much more story than say back in the day where your princess was in another castle. :P

[@LlamaDrama142]

Well, to summarize, video games before 2000 were mainly just sort of arcade entertainment. Games today are basically interactive movies. They have everything you’d see in a movie from voice actors, cinematography, plot, etc etc.

Long story short the trailer is actually showcasing a villain in the game that you actually will not fight until they released an expansion for the game (basiclly more story content that you can download) , the last word you say to her is I will come back for you and apperantly he did.

My girlfriend has about as much knowledge as you do in games, and there's nothing wrong with that! Infact, I absolutely love watching my girlfriend (as well as people who aren't well versed in games) discovering the medium for the first time, and seeing just how valuable these experiences are. They're essentially almost always interactive stories. The Witcher 3 specifically is an open world game which takes place in an entire continent, you get to explore it and ride along with an incredible story that it tells you. The game is so beautiful and so genuinely interesting and it's one of the many games that showed me just how genuinely amazing games can be as a medium. The first game to ever do this to me was the Half-Life series, and, infact, the Half-Life games are what inspired me to be a 3D artist and game developer/animator myself! The beauty of video games is that they are an intricate blend of multiple different art forms creating a truly personal and impactful experience that is driven by the player, and it makes me so happy seeing people who aren't necessarily interested in games being introduced to The Witcher 3 thanks to the new Netflix series, because, i'm going to be honest, there couldn't have been a better choice to introduce you with :) I'm trying to introduce my Girlfriend to video games as well. I've introduced her to Half-Life, but I plan on introducing her to other incredible games that I so deeply love, too, like Dishonored. Infact, I'll recommend it to you, too! Look up the Dishonored 2 Cinematic Trailer, if you'd like! It's another amazing trailer, and just like The Witcher 3's trailer, it's just as intricate and relevant to the source material. Everything you see in the trailer for that game is actually in the game! Infact, the actual in-game things look cooler than the trailer itself in my honest opinion lol. I reckon Dishonored isn't as popular nowadays, but honestly, even just watching it in private is amazing, as well as watching playthroughs of these games!
