he was stil an asshole to me for my 2nd run through but on my 3rd I decided to just really get to know him. there are times which it was really hard especially when I wanted to slaughter those baron bastards that were at the crossroad village who wanted to rape the girls and such.

[@SpeedyRogue]

@@zxidi LOL

[@Brando_02]

The Witcher III may be the third in the series but some video game titles such as Halo don't follow that rule, Halo 4 for example is NOT the 4th game in that series, that would go to Halo 3 ODST. After ODST came Halo Reach which would *technically* be the fourth but it was realized after ODST so it's really the 5th. Making Halo 4 the 6th game in the series and Halo 5 Guardians the 7th. So not *all* games follow this rule

[@thianwoonlin5807]

It is like how Fallout 76 is not the 76th Fallout game and battlefield 1 is not the first game in the series...

[@reika542]

This masterpiece was created under a budget price? I refuse to believe this.

[@DarkPyr0Gaming]

Would you also believe that The Witcher 3 is also CD Project Reds third game ever developed?

[@chrissk08]

Brock They didn't have a publisher and investors breathing down their neck to release the game during a certain quarter of the year.

[@VansLegacy]

TW3 cost less than half the budget of GTA 5, cost 20mils less than GTA 4 and Skyrim. Not to mention, nearly half of the budget for the Witcher 3 went to marketing so the game development cost itself could be even lower. During the development of TW3, CD Project team is 2/10 the size of Ubisoft (counting only the employees that work on AC), 1/10 the size of Rockstar and 2.5/10 size of Bioware. Not only did CD Project Red created a masterpiece, but they did something that no other game studio could have done. Therefore, I have the deepest respect for CD Project Red and it kind of upsets me that the game did not sell as well as other games in that year, it didn't even break the top 5 chart of best selling games even though it won multiple awards in 2015.

[@אביבעזר]

yep. good as it may be, witcher isn't casual... thouugh with over 25 million combined sales (the first witcher sold 800K in it's time so i guess most come from 3) they were rewarded handsomely for their efforts.

[@sammyshehole]

They gave us an already packed, solid game with the base game. Then gave us two amazing DLC releases. One of which gave us a whole new map. Altogether, this package is worth the $85-90 all that cost and then some. More developers need to take note on how DLC should be handled.

Brandon Taylor I’m hoping you get to maybe bump into Ciri during a mission or cutscene, but having it be the central part of the mission/cutscene. Or that you can see her in the distance but not interact with her or something like that.

[@davidbujna8480]

She was there for like 6 months, right? Or was it different world? Dunno. But mission or two would be cool.

But once Geralt gets to Zed, he finds him dead. Geralt even delivers the famous line by Bruce Willis, "Zed's dead".

[@Witcherino]

There's also one in Crow's Perch when two of the Baron's men are talking and one says to another: "wee, bring out the gimp" and the other responds that he's sleeping and the conversation continues with the first guard asking the first one to wake him up.

[@chengye8485]

That Daedric Guy the witcher 3 is more open world than skyrim. But you’re right in that you can’t compare the two. One is a game that will not be topped in many years to come, and the other is an unfinished, buggy, unoptimized game developed from an outdated engine. While i still do think that skyrim is a masterpiece, it is only a masterpiece because it came before tw3 and was something never before seen. People can fanboy all they want to back skyrim, but the vast majority of players will agree that it is unplayable without mods.

#60; The steel sword is actually used for monsters who are resistant to silver or who have such a thick skin that only steel can cut it. They do use the steel sword against humans but only because the silver sword is too delicate to use against them since striking or parrying an armed opponent will ruin a silver sword. Great video.

The witchers have 2 swords, one of silver and one of steel.

How many Witchers are there exactly in Witcher 3? How many are left? Are there rumors of others in the world outside Kaer Morhen?

[@alexvallegre]

SparxCarnival I think there are more Witchers. There were 6 different schools. On the ohter hand, the fact that they stopped recruiting children because they didn't need more might had ended with witchers

Geralt is actually "The Witcher" after the trial of the grasses he proceeded to do even more mutations to become even stronger and he is the only one who has ever survived that. (That is also why his hair is white)

I'm just on my first play through and is somewhere about 1/3 into the Bloody Baron arc. And I'll be damned to say the story is going so good so far. I've already seen clips on youtube on the quest and honestly, I'm taking it quite slow just to preserve it. Starting from the moment Baron's burying the botchling, to the setting, the lines, the expressions. Top fvcking notch.

I like the old note you find near Kaer Morhen addressed to the bandits and written by Azar Javed who are of course the group that attack Kaer Morhen in the first game. Cool little nod

[@chilltilc6140]

In the Philippines we have a very similar version of the botchling(dunno if I spelled that right)called "tiyanak" though there are many versions of this depending on the region in the philippines the common version is that the Tiyanak is believed to be a baby whose mother died in childbirth or an aborted one. It is also said that a Tiyanak cannot go to the after life because of not having a name. It then led them to be an Earth bound creature which wonder around searching for someone to give them names.

Really cool Easter egg from the book; if you're riding in novigrad, you might come across a crowd looking at a monster in a cage, and a man shouting to come see the basilisk. You tell him hes lying, the "basilik" breaks out of its cage, and you kill it. This exact scene happens in the book, however it is Ciri who confronts and kills the creature.

[@KewlCrayon]

Heres some interesting facts: Earth exists, a separate sphere (universe) than "The World". (although according to Avallach it might be destroyed in its present timeline) Timelines can be traversed depending on how the spheres cross. They cross at different timelines. Ciri visited Earths past during Medieval times and met King Aurthur. Ciri also talks about a world where humans fly in airships and have robotic augmentations, she speaks about this in Witcher 3 so may not be canon (Future Earth Cyberpunk 2077?) Dragons come from Earth. Obviously Humans are from Earth, and may have originally been modern humans, but regressed back into medieval times after conjunction.

[@brookehancock6244]

In the books avallach says humans came after causing the ruin of their own world in the conjunction of spheres, I believe it's in tower of the swallow?

I'm Northern Realms, a bit traditional considering that's your first playable deck, but I got good with it, they each have different strategy, Northern Realms is especially good with catapults, the Sociotech elves favor archers.

I think Gwent is possibly the best thing about Witcher 3. I'm not undermining anything else in the game, but the fact they took the time to create a second game within an already over the top massive game is just amazing, and it means some times I just sit back and be like "I wanna play some cards, not kill monsters today".

[@PescadorGama]

-In the Tower out of nowhere mission one of the key items says gog.com in its image. -Ciri mentions she traveled to a world where people used metal on their heads to comunicate and moved from location to location by flying. -The mission where Geralt finds Ciri is a tribute to Snow White with the seven dwarfs and Ciri being dead. Man there are so many in games easter eggs and fact I just can't remember them all. You gonna need to make another video.

the "gimp" scene from pulp fiction played out in the cellar of the bloody baron's castle. hilarious!

[@luisfelipepraxedes403]

In Hearts of Stone, when Geralt checks out a portrayal in the dead ex wife's mansion (i don't remember the name or the name of her husband but is that dude who is sort of the villain of hearts of stone) he says "All happy families are the same. Unhappy families are unhappy in their own particular way" (or something like that) which is the first sentence of Leon Tolstoi's famous novel Anna Karenina. And there's a really cool reference to Pulp Fiction, also, in the Baron's land in Velen you can hear soldiers saying "bring out the Gimp - but the Gimp is sleeping - i guess you just have to wake him up now, won't you?"
