Witcher 3 - Velen - Ambience & Music

[@shubhambhatt2704]

can't believe this game is 8 years old. Still looks fresh to date

[@CrniWuk]

Well it saw constantly updates to the visuals. Also mods. But even at release the game looked pretty good.

[@leonidshylovskyy9721]

moreover Im waiting for new one + this is best game for next 1000 years. It was made in very talented mode!

For me, Velen was the most relatable region in Witcher 3. Just people trying to get by, amidst all the darkness and uncertainty. Also, during sundown you would get these absolutely gorgeus views from the plains and small hilltops. Wish I could go back and experience the game again for the first time , not a single game has come even close to Witcher 3 in the way it captured me.

[@CaptainPupu]

And it never will. Gaming is dead.

[@uhtredofbebbanburg5493]

The Witcher 4? And the remake? ​@@CaptainPupu

[@crestfallenknight7983]

Gaming is dead and it's a sad reality. I don't know why you have so few likes. Actually there hasn't been fresh and good games since 2015/2016 (The Witcher 3 Complete Edition, ​Bloodborne and AC Unity and maybe Dishonored 2)@@CaptainPupu

[@snowflake_angie]

dude,u need to try witcher 1. this is the best game in trilogy and music there is even better

[@laurensiaaninditadwi]

Sounds of depression, loneliness, agony, captured by beautiful yet gloomy and blood-soaked land of No Man's Land... Wish I could erase all of my memories of this game and play like its the first time.

[@Omenify]

@dugeor that's a very, very unpopular opinion. why did you not like witcher 3?

[@Omenify]

@dugeor hmm, that's an interesting take. i personally enjoyed witcher 3 the most and only then witcher 1 but then again i started with the games rather than books so my perspective is a little bit different but i do see where you're coming from.

[@restructible9298]

Cant tell you how many times I have said these exact words, this is still is my favorite game of all time. Nothing can compare to how this game makes you feel during the first play through.

[@miiilfhunteer]

Chill sound for playing in DOTA 2

[@poncholovin]

​@dugeor Your comments are really interesting to me. It's fascinating that how a game is advertised directly affected your experiences in-game. Like if your favorite cereal came out with a bad commercial and then suddenly you don't like how it tastes. Personally Im glad the series became more popular and the people that worked hard on everything got extra visibility and $$$, especially my pole brother sapkowski. But def understand we all have our own perspectives. I read all the Witcher books too, and found them to give me similar feelings as when I was playing the Witcher games. I think when you take any book and try to put it into diff media (games, TV, movies) it can never be a 1:1 replica. But if the feeling is captured, then the magic is there imo. I don't know you and I'm prob wrong here, but it feels like what you're really trying to say is "the people that like Witcher 3 are simps, they're not real Witcher fans. Im a real Witcher fan because I like Witcher 1 the most and I knew about the Witcher before all the 3 fans. also I read the books." Except in a less direct way. But like I said, I could be way off.

[@SimonaPoláchová-v7j]

Úžasná atmosféra! Hudba a zvuky z Velenu opravdu dokážou přenést do světa Zaklínače. Tohle je ideální pro relaxaci nebo navázání na vzpomínky na hru!

[@Z3uS2]

The soundtrack is definitely a big part in what makes Witcher 3 one of the best games of all time. My favourite OST ever.

[@erenyeager6518]

Fields of Ard Skellig tho

[@ForestHag]

I keep searching for games like the witcher, but honestly... nothing compares. This game is pure art and I am so incredibly happy I got to live in a time where such a game exists. The ambiance, the music, the characters, the scenery... it is all perfect.

[@eddiestone12]

not exactly the same vibe but similar in some ways and less well known is Kingdom Come Deliverance. I found it a few months ago and definitely enjoyed it, just don't expect it to be the same niche as The Witcher.

[@scottymo2894]

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the closest I've found. It's a western, but music, characters, story, ambience, scenery...all top notch. Gets the emotions going like Witcher 3 did.

[@fabiogameri]

Try Skyrim

[@SimosIoannidis-yi1no]

Maybe not like witcher 3 but soon gothic 3 Remake comes out you should try i think it is the closest ti witcher 3

[@vex4eggs]

honestly, I'm just waiting for Witcher 4. The rumors sound pretty bad, but I hope it stays with the witcher. The classic Polish Witcher

[@edorampo4005]

SPOIL: After having "finished" the bloody baron's quest where his daughter no longer wanted to see him and his wife had become a monster, I thought that this story was not finished and that I still had a lot of things to do. So I come back to the Baron to collect my dues, eager to see what happens next. And “reality” caught up with me. Brutally as she likes to do it. It started with a fade to black, announcing the start of a cutscene, then the legs of a body hanging from a tree. I naively told myself that it was the baron who had again taken these nerves out on his people, but no. The next image left no doubt. The barron had hanged himself, unable to accept the consequences of my choices. And there, the avalanche of emotion in my stomach. Denial, shock, sadness, then acceptance. Repeating in different orders. Thus making me understand that I had become attached to a character that I did not appreciate. I experienced it as a little trauma. I sometimes have the image of the Baron's lower body, hanged, which comes to mind at inopportune moments. Then a feeling of oppression. Since then, listening to music number 3 (3:46) is an emotional ordeal, which surprisingly I enjoy experiencing. It totally reflects the Velen region. And every time, at 4:13 I seem to hear the Baron crying and lamenting, in the last seconds before hanging himself. Feeling my own periocular muscles contract, as if to stop me from crying. And it's in these moments that I tell myself that The Witcher 3 had an impact on me like no other game has yet. Nor even like any other non-musical work for that matter. Long live video games, long live The Witcher 3.

[@MeekoBear808]

well said friend

Same story and recollections here man! I feel ya!

[@Alpharabius99]

What a masterpiece. Not just a game its an experience one in a lifetime.

[@Turkishguy3000]

The witcher 3 soundtrack suits the witcher world so well...sad and depressing thats how you know they did a good job with the soundtracks

[@laszlomatyasovszky7696]

Few days ago I finished my bike courier shift in a remote location next to a village. I rode home along the river and the weathrr was exactly like in witcher 3. Gray, cloudy sky and the wind was blowing very strongly. All the trees and bushes were wildly flailing and I just rode next to the river. I will never forget that day.

[@alexandr1641]

Это видео не просто саундтрек из игры,это уже скорее состояние души,будучи большим любителем природы и тем кто прошел ведьмака 3 раза,я уже не могу прогуливаться по лесу,степям,лугам без этой музыки включенной на телефоне

[@H_Dimenss]

у меня так с трекам из Древних Свитков Обливион.

[@annarkin]

Так и есть , музыка в ведьмаке 3 играет одну из ключевых ролей. Я очень надеюсь что в 4 части на музыку так же сделают акцент. Я не играю какое то время в ведьмака но музыку и по сей день слушаю. Природа и эта музыка - магическая сила, которая вдохновляет.

[@crestfallenknight7983]

А я полюбил все славянское ещё сильнее как прошел третьего "Ведьмака"... Природа, кроны волнуются, бездорожье, кметы... И Геральт в русской озвучке такой батя, как будто тебя на рыбалку с ним взял, он всему этому очень подходит... Эх.

[@crestfallenknight7983]

Ещё "Ведьмак 3" вызывает во мне любовные, романтические ощущения периодически... Все эти красивые волшебницы и травницы, селянки на фоне славянской природы... Музыка... Бархатный голос Геральта... Хочется получить тот же спектр ощущений в реальной жизни и быть интересным для противоположного пола как Геральт :)

[@fernandojimenez2736]

did you finish the game ?

[@AbdullahEmir-iRumi]

Bana böyle duygular yaşatabilen bir oyunu hayatım boyunca hiç bir zaman görmedim, göremeyeceğimde. Oynarken yeri geldi güldüm, yeri geldi ağladım, yeri geldi kızdım, yeri geldi oyuna sımsıkı sarıldım, yeri geldi oyunun içinde kendimi hissettim. Bu oyun; müziğiyle, şevkiyle, grafikleriyle, hikayesiyle günümüzdeki bir çok oyundan daha iyi, çünkü beni kendine bağımlı etti. :) Buna neredeyse çok yaklaşan oyunsa benim için: RDR2'dir. :) Çünkü Red Dead Redemption'da da aynı duyguları yaşadım. Bu 2 oyun efsanedir benim için, ama eğer bir oyunun içine girmek zorunda olsaydım seçimim Witcher 3 olurdu. :) İlk çağ zamanındaki o sefaleti gösteren oyundaki acıyı, buhranı başka hiçbir oyunda da göremezdim zaten. Seni çok seviyorum Witcher 3. :) Polonya'nın ve benim göz bebeğimsin. Gerçi o kadar güzel oyunsun ki, sen tüm herkesin gözbebeğisin. :) Saygıdeğer videonun sahibi, sana da bu müzikler ve videon için teşekkür ederim. :)

[@kcnsky]

My soul aches how much I love this game but man…the music captures and infinitely amplifies that emotion

[@Orihimex3]

I LOVED Velen the second I started the game ... I know a lot of people didn't like it but for me I HAD to go back doing side quest and discover locations in Velen after visiting Novigrad and Skellige because Velen just captured me with its haunted and wild beauty. Fond memories of my first playthroughs

[@MateuszLawa97]

When I'm playing TW3 i'm always thinking about my childhood memories when i went to my family in small village in Poland on vacation. That games really makes me chills and also I'm really proud as a Polish that The Witcher 3 is worldwide hit and one of the best games ever made! Thank you CD Projekt Red! You make us proud of our roots!!! ⚪🔴

[@enemystanduserturek9752]

Witcher 3 is such an unique experience. This game changed my entire life, before I wanted to live in Spain when I grew older, now I see where's my home and why I should stay in Poland. My love for The Witcher universe started here and also thanks to the game, I started reading books, before I was thinking they are boring, now I feel like they are more relaxing. If somebody thinks about reading witcher book I recomend do this with witcher 3 soundtrack, it makes experience more inmersive.

[@iLikeDMR]

This is one of if not the best games ever made. When I first played Witcher 3 it has been years and years since I experienced childlike wonder in a video game. No game since has given me that feeling and I don't think any game ever will. Man I hope Witcher 4 will deliver

[@Azuetallica]

When I listen to this Velen part of the WItcher soundtrack it takes me back to the bad times I had in my life at the time I was playing it. So much depression, worry, desperation, sadness just like Velen, I survived it! THANK YOU ALL who made this piece of art and for uploading.

[@col_d_ice]

man the violin plus the background music is groundbreaking 35:03 it slowly gets good, what a mix

[@JudoEagle32]

I envy the people that can listen to this and study. It just makes me think of the amazing journey, world, and characters... and then I must play it again. lol

[@NoName-ug7si]

I can't explain this but there is Slavic soul in this music. If you feel it too you understand what I mean. What a masterpiece

[@Rellyks]

That music evokes such an specific feeling, it's hauting, lonely and extremely beautiful. Thanks for posting

[@farron2551]

I both hated and loved Velen for that sinking feeling in my chest I got whenever I passed by it and for giving me one of the most unforgettable experiences in a video game. I definitely feel more of the latter now that I haven't touched the game in a year and get to enjoy the music on its own. Also, am I the only one who didn't feel that sorry for the Baron? While I believe in second chances and didn't want him to end up dead, I'd rather choose to give the children a chance at life rather than the man who (if I remember correctly) beat his wife and made his family feel unsafe enough to plan an escape. Maybe it's because I'm a woman myself and I've seen too many real life cases where husband have dealt their wives a lifetime of trauma only to lament about how hurt they are when they face the consequences of their actions. Of course, it's also important to understand how cultures and inherited trauma affect these individuals, but it's never an excuse. Anyways, I'm getting too deep for a KZbin comment here, but that just goes to show how much life the writers have breathed into these characters to affect us so deeply. I love this game so much!

[@FatKitty66]

Great comment, I was about to say that The Witcher gives us so much reflection upon various (mostly tragic) situations and complex characters, confronts us with our conscience and deepens us into ethical dilemma, broadens horizon... Valuable enrichment I'd say

[@FatKitty66]

Baron's case is so difficult to jugde, I can't condamn him completely, but also don't wanna justify his horrible actions, I just don't see him as totally evil, black character, it's all so much not black-white, anyway I get your point of view (also woman here). To me he seems to have some good, he really helped and befriended Ciri afterall, was emotionally damaged because of all wars and battles he had taken part in and his wife cheated on him, but he had no right to be so cruel and extremely abusive towards her, it's reasonable that she (and daughter) escaped and hated him

[@matrixexd]

If there is a game that should be called a work of art, it is The Wither 3, for its art, for its music, for its narrative, and much more. a game that if it had 1000 expansions I would play them all.

[@zuzannastogowska6628]

Yes! Lets hope for more expansions!

[@1Rabih]

true and same can be said of Elden Ring even though the approach is very different in terms of gameploy and lore and world building / characaters / NPCs...

[@Falcon36891]

The definition of perfection is the Witcher 3 ❤

[@igoonx15]

When i first played this game, i hated Velen so much that I didn’t care to understand what’s going on in it. But after 4 playthroughs It became my favorite area in the main game, yes even better than Skillege. Sure there’s beauty in all areas but Velen was the best, like there’s almost a personality in this area, perhaps it has a personality. There’s a sense of Desperation, loneliness, fear and evil in Velen, truly a No Man's Land. I think all areas are great in their own way but Velen captured these feelings perfectly. My second favorite area is Toussain of course. That area is the exact opposite and i think that’s why i love them.

[@rickrenaud6253]

As a 40-year old. I almost has a bunch of stuff to say.. but instead. At 40, this is amazing music.

[@verycreativename2110]

40 is still young. It's when you hit mid to late 60s that you're truly old. And even then, the true clock of age is your health, not how long you've lived. And, in that sense, you can reverse your age slightly by making healthy choices. Been thinking about this a bit lately.

[@1DoctorEvil]

For those who haven't read it but would like to experience something similar to the atmosphere of Velen, I recommend the short stories by Andrzej Sapkowski, which inspired the Witcher game: "The Last Wish" (7 stories) and "Sword of Destiny" (also 7 stories, I believe). These have been translated into enlish but also other langs.

[@Mick3D]

Played the Witcher 3 for the first time this year, thought it couldn't possibly top the Netflix series. How wrong I was. The game stands head and shoulders above the Netflix series and after many an hour spent reaching the end of the story I jumped straight into New Game+ to start it all over again, that's a testament to the sheer quality of the game, which would lose its vibrance without this amazing soundtrack.

[@tacbore]

the Netflix series could never be even 10% of what the game was to me it lacked soooo much

[@Mick3D]

@@tacbore I most definitely agree with that now. But I, like a good few others I imagine, got here because of the Netflix series. Despite how different some of the characters look in the game, the Netflix series gave more context to the game during my first playthrough.
