The Witcher: A Full Series Retrospective

[@TheKfiecien]

"Triss gets sick and shits in the woods a bunch." Me, a big fan of the books: Very accurate.

[@altaryumzolat]

I suffer from severe insomnia; I cannot sleep if I don't have something in the background and it's usually either documentaries or your videos (on repeat). Thank you for uploading such a long video that will be played multiple times for me!

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

I'm glad you've found some use from them! Thanks so much for watching.

[@altaryumzolat]

@@YourFavoriteSon1 I just hope my views add up to some of that KZbin income; congrats and best of luck!!

[@Exigentable]

I second this.

[@wodkah]

Where you tested on ADHD? Often people with ADHD take very long to fall asleep, because their brains don‘t shut off in bed unlike in people without ADHD. With something in the background the brain can concentrate a little on that instead of having own thoughts and that helps to shut down the brain and fall asleep. I myself play game or movie video essays myself every night and fall asleep much faster that way.

[@krayzieridah]

This is the longest video of interesting and amazing content I have ever started to watch here on KZbin. This video is going to take me at least 1 month to complete, as I drift off to your videos at night watching bits of 10-15 mins at a time before I fall asleep. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos! You're the best!

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Thanks! Hope you like the extra content in this one!

[@oscargomezrivera]

Perfect Sunday entertainment

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Hope you enjoy!

[@mikea.6696]

Thanks for the great content. As someone with severe anxiety and panic episodes that lead to insomnia, having something to relax me and help with going to sleep is more appreciated than I can say. I always finish listening or watching, it just might take a couple of nights. Thanks man.

[@Notdumderg]

Perfect!! I was literally just looking for some fantastic content for the rest of my day of work. Thank you so much

[@SanalliteSapling]

It took me three days to finish these videos. Sitting here for eleven hours is quite a long time. Thank you for the entertaining information, my son.

[@stnickvidz]

Son, your content mirrors your statement abot the Witcher series - there's something here for everyone. Great job Son, proud of you.

[@ryanmiller1899]

Incredible work here on all three videos. From the writing, editing, and production you provide such comprehensive work of your own making that stands in parallel to the Witcher Series. It is nothing short of astounding. Keep up the great work!

[@derekjohnson8910]

I’ve gone through all of my audiobooks… just when I thought the work day was gonna suck, I see THIS masterpiece has dropped. You’ve literally saved my day.

[@TheHuggi]

Danke!

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

thanks so much!

[@sergiurussu1064]

I know that many people may disagree but I think that Witcher 1 is the best of the three. The combat system did not bother me at all. I cannot wait for the remake!!! Thanks for the video yourfavoriteson!

[@OwlPeeks]

I think it depends on what you look for in these games, personally I wanted to see the books come to life and witcher 1 did that best imo so I agree, but I can't deny that riding on horseback in witcher 3 and feeling the scope of the gigantic world we heard so much in the books ( novigard being my favorite city in any game ever likely) makes me appreciate them both for different reasons, and witcher 2 is for all the witcher world politic lovers. Absolutely love the trilogy though cdpr really gave a lot of love to all three and served the witcher universe a huge justice

[@stanmanlyman4550]

Son you read the books! respect! I love the books

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

They were pretty great!

[@DerpyDerpums]

It's funny how many comments I see about how people use your videos to sleep and I just now found myself napping to this Witcher retrospective

[@solidjake93]

I drive a lot for work so having the full retrospectives posted like this is a god send for me. It’s like having a really interesting audiobook with live commentary on the story. Can’t wait for the metal gear solid video, you make your dad proud 🤠🤘🏼

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

[@rihamjilani9245]

I just love these long threaded vids, keep up the great work, fam!

[@YourFavoriteSon1]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@Darthbaldmouse]

Witcher 3 is probably my third best game, mass effect and F7 being best. Combat and story hooked me. There are about 10 plot points I was really disappointed with as they were never answered. Loved the length of the game and you could bypass almost all the side quests and lose very little related to the main plot. Did get frustrated with aspects of the skill and inventory systems but not to bad.

[@3shutarmurg]

This is my favorite video on youtube

[@Anxiou5Panda]

I had to see the duration again because I cannot believe I'm getting 10+ hours of Witcher content. Thanks man!

[@JF-xj3cu]

@5:05:30 - never used Bombs or Potions unless a quest required it. They're just not necessary, even on Death March. You cast your shield and just use s from dodging. Nothing can hurt you.

[@necro811]

Thank you so much for the work you put into these videos, they are fantastic to have in the background when im trying to sleep (i dont mean that they are boring or anything ofc i just have severe insomnia) , keep up the good work!

If you planning to replay W1 at some point... try to do wyvern island in act2! First - sword is still there, second, in body of this guy you have a letter from Loyvarden (I think that's how it was written) and reveal him much faster and with a bit different outcome.

curious question, not checked all the comments posted before i have to admit...... the ingame text size, is that a resolution thing (i.e 1440p or above) or a ui size setting you did to make it less "intruding" for the video? i dont object to it or have comment on either way of it just curious as for the "why" the text is so small.

Important note you glossed over when talking about the riddle to defeat Master Mirror. and *spoilers* "A Mirror" is not a valid solution to the riddle; it's a red herring.
