The Witcher 3 OST - The Wolf And The Swallow [EXTENDED] (Geralt finds Ciri scene)

[@JeKeScy]

I really thought it was too late when I finally found her. After all the shit that Geralt went through I was pretty sad, and seeing him desperately going in and starting to cry and hug her, thinking she was dead, I shed many manly tears. And then she woke up. Pretty intense, man, pretty intense.

[@antoinegpp]

I've never lived anything like that

[@JeKeScy]

That's definitely one of the strongest emotional moments in videogame history. And it will probably be for a very long time.

[@antoinegpp]

When it happened I started crying because I was like "that's not possible, what did I wrong"

[@mohdsalmand1385]

Same bro what a shocking , emotional and epic moment it was i had tears when geralt found her dead and then goosebumps

[@Fenrispro]

Ugh i hated the shitty baron, in fact i wish the design of the game allows players to opt out of the baron's blackmailing, coz talking to the Ladies would alr go on to next clue. When i tried to save the baron's child it sudd became a botchling wtf haha

The face of geralt in this moment is so heartbreaking, Witchers doesn't have emotions.. yeah..

[@x_gipsy_danger_x5222]

He learned to hide his emotions, not a broken heart

[@aliatack19]

Actually, in the books, when Geralt comes together with Ciri after a long time, he starts crying. Yeah, this is full of emotions. It's impossible for a human being not to cry at that moment.

[@ts6603]

geralt has some unique mutations going on. the white hair and he has some emotion and empathy left unlike most other witchers. thats what ive heard at least.

[@moira4707]

@@ts6603 Judging by how Geralt broached the subject of emotions in the books, that "Witchers have no emotion" thing is probably a rumor they themselves spread as a manner of shielding themselves from the worst parts of their job.

[@suc125]

I only read some som of the books years ago. But I always thought the "wicthers have no emotion" was only another prejudy that people had against witchers, just another excuse not to treat them as humans...but I may be wrong

I'm jealous of you, and it's something I don't quite understand, I feel a lot less emotion when thinking of the witcher and listening to the witcher music than when I had just finished it, finishing this game, especially the main game and blood and wine, felt like losing a friend. My emotions were so intense with everything, and now it's a lot less. but I just realised, you said that 9 months ago, what about now, do you experience the same thing that I just described? Do you also feel less emotion than when you had finished it all a shorter time ago?

Around 1:50 the violin(?) sound reminds me of a swallow clasping its wings and as the piece continues the wings move faster and faster... Kind of like symbolizing Ciri becoming alive/awakening. Really beautiful piece of music. The scene would not be the same without this!

[@Captainkebbles1392]

@@jeremiahharrington2380 little bit of backstory I lost track of the quests was doing and realized I had almost gotten to this part "too early"(mant side missions hadn't been finished) I had taken a break, and had no play the Ciri parts for some time because of this, I suppose that helped my personal reaction upon finding her. I did remember declining to see what she looked like from our shape shifting friendo. Ngl I was fucking pissed at the dwarfs for keeping me from her behind the damn locked door only to find her there lifeless. I was absurdly angry, And in the most dramatic way possible the light that came onto the screen snapped me back, I looked up and saw it. My Ciri was ok. Sorry for being a little personalized but I wanted to be invested in this game and my living situation means I don't get extended gaming time. But wanted to experience as much of the game in as big of chunks as possible.

@@Captainkebbles1392 I get it, this masterpiece was basically life changing in a gaming aspect. Nothing holds a candle to it, I am probably on my 5th playthrough, and not just main story, just every detail I can get out of it I do, it never gets old. been playing it for 4 years, I'll play other titles and quickly get bored, come back to W3 and start a new one. Just an absolutely perfect game.

[@etsunao]

This strange feeling of finding his dead child, when I myself never had one. It's just a huge emotional feeling, I cry so much, at the same time because I was sad, at the same time of happiness to find her ... And Géralt him so strong, to see him in this state, disarmed, destroyed completely broke my heart and all emotions crossed me. This game, this scene is just huge ..

[@anthony-vp3dq]

My favourite scene in the game

[@PolishGod1234]

Imo this along with Meeting of Crones and Botchling.

[@magdachlebicka3895]

The witcher's training doen't affect their emotions. It's all that shit they've been through, all the blood they've spilled. And people who blindly think that witchers are just killing machines. It all make them act as if those rumors were true - it's easier to say "yeah I don't have emotions" than explain it to everyone. But in moments like this we can see that they're just like normal humans. Extraordinary hopeless, introverted, mean, tired of living for too long and spilling too much blood humans.

[@alonnie1919]

Witchers are made to believe "Minimum expression means maximum effect." For common folk, they'd rather be emotionless killing machines - they're there to kill the monster and take the coin. For personal matters, they can act like a normal human being and that's different for every witcher as each has their own personality.

the amount of tears I shed during this scene could easily fill a lake the size of lake ladoga in finland and there'd still be some to go around. you can literally feel geralt's pain in the scene, the desperation when he steps in, the heartbreak when he sees ciri laying there lifeless, the fatherly love he has for her when he's cradling her in his arms and the shock coupled with I'm guessing happiness when she hugs him back. best game of all time, hands down.
