Witcher 4 - Where Could It Be? | Kovir

[@GerryBolger]

I love the chapter where Djikstra travels to Kovir and we get the backstory to the land. I'm glad you told it, Kovir is fascinating and has lots of potential for countless storylines.

[@obrgrs2547]

Ngl that chapter sucked. I didn't mind the world building but it has no place in a mainline book. It was tedious and completely irrelevant to the greater novel.

[@olafmikoaj3121]

​@@obrgrs2547It's purpose was to ilustrate the world building of this world. Like to show Reader that even thou characters have their stories, the oustside world is still happening and it’s at war. Even though if it was ever adapted into a serial then it wouldn't be that great to watch at. I would combine it with Yennefer chapter.

If Ciri is the main character, or one of them... Could you potentially travel to another world as/with her? Maybe into the world With Galahad? Would be cool to be able to switch between those worlds.

[@Fhrek42]

My fear is that they get carried way and try to do too much... Witcher 3 was big, but not overwhelming big. Just keep it interesting to explore and not running repetitive little things around on an empty open world... like they did with Cyberpunk (before the updates).

[@ni9274]

WItcher 3 map is way bigger than Cyberpunk and has more repetitive encounters (all of the point of interest basically). Cyberpunk open world even before the update has a higher concentration of content and the point of interest are often more interesting than the one in Witcher 3 (you can get unique weapons, cool stories and there are tons of secrets). 2.0 update didn’t change the world map, it mainly changed the systems of gameplay.

[@personwhohasayoutubechannel3]

​@ni9274 It's hard to accurately explain why cyberpunk feels so empty. But to start id say enemy respawns are a huge problem with it. To get the same depth of content that Witcher 3 provides in cyberpunk, you more or less need to be a completionist and go out of your way. The main quests felt too disconnected from the side content. There were tons of things that just felt sidetracked and shallow.

[@WeyounSix]

Kovir seems likely to me. They have talked about it enough in previous games that it has just enough lore to be interesting, and have already piqued players' interests. It seems very logical because there is just enough lore to base something on but not so much that you can't create anything you want really for a new story without plot strings.

[@eafstudios6436]

I've been anticipating at least a DLC or game section in the future that takes Geralt to Zerrikania. The region and its culture get relentlessly referenced throughout all three games and the more desert/near eastern type of setting described in it might give the game an atmospheric feel similar to Assassin's Creed, which would be interesting. Especially given Geralt's enhanced abilities and mutations.

[@GREGE3EGG]

Flotsam. I want to see more of that place. Who ever came up with naming that place needs a bump in their pay! It looks like Geralt might not be in the next trilogy as the main character unfortunately, but the first game is getting a remake so all’s not lost for the white wolf fans. If it was up to me he’d be in all Witcher games. Geralt is the goat. Cheers for the vids fella. You do a fine job.

[@zowbaid89]

Imagine if this was like a modern day witcher world. That would be crazy. But theoretically, even if this game takes place 100 or so years after W3, we could still encounter Geralt because we find him being able to warp to the future at the end of SoS. So Geralt could show up as a side character or easter egg even. That would be awesome. I would love to be able to create my own witcher, especially if it's a new school we haven't heard of before, it seems like the potential for that is really high.

[@soundbonz]

CDPR teased in December that Geralt will return in this new trilogy. I, for one, am grateful for that. No mention if he will be the protagonist, but c’mon. His presence alone takes center stage when he’s in a scene. I always thought Beuclair was a terrible way for Geralt’s story to end. No Witcher has ever died in his own bed.

[@Captain.B.Fang572]

I've recently been getting back into your videos, and I saw this one and I remembered your video talking how it might be a good idea for us to make are own character and choose a school, or we can create are own character for the new school, you might have covered this if so I'm just dumb, but in the witcher you don't really get to choose what school you go to so what If it's something like we create are character who gets taken by a witcher via law of surprise and are taken to the new school

Im fairly certian that there is dialog with Keira and Lambert that happens after Vesemir's funeral where Kiera states that they could theoretically create Witchers using magic and would no longer need to use the Trial of the Grasses. Canonically, she and Lambert leave together, so there is a good possibility that this is how the Linx School is formed.

It is a shame that the witcher 3 haven't got a decent ending it deserved, i mean there's plenty loose end in my opinion specially the death of the prince of ofieri in the sewer. That incident could lead to a new map and new expansion pack with new possibilities, but CDPR seems too afraid to squeeze the maximum potential of the witcher 3

[@SplitFinn]

I can see The School Of The Lynx being established by the Koviri crown as an instrument of the realm. It could be a collaborative effort from remaining witchers who travelled north to Kovir to keep the practice alive. We could see some Wolves, some Griffins and even some Cats (Lynxes are essentially a cross between a wolf and a cat... maybe the two schools are attempting to converge?). A really nice touch would be if the some of the schools founders and some of the mages who helped establish it are people we're familiar with (Eskel, Lambert, Triss, Kiera etc). I would also like to see a time jump of about 100~200 years. This would allow technology to flourish, especially in a place as wealthy and resource-rich as Kovir. Perhaps we see rudimentary firearms or other advancements like a repeater crossbow with silver bolts.

[@stefankatsarov5806]

Not sure about the time jump, but honestly a time right afther witcher 3 might not be bad, since you will be dealing whit the fall of Novigrad and Redenia as it developes and your protagonist coud be Eskel sinse he said he wont be coming back to Kaer Morhen and is more reasonable than Lambert ( more of a chanse to agree to a new school ). That being said Lambert coud be the man since he had a friend from the Cat school and Keira is whit him and coud help.

[@nomadikphoto]

This is what I sent them years ago for what I wanted....I doubt it'll happen lol So I know that Geralts story is supposed to be over, but it just cant be, it just cant be lol. And I know you guys are busy with cyberpunk, but for a couple of weeks Ive been daydreaming about a new DLC, and I thought I might share it. Im no writer but here it is. So obviously it starts with the narrator talking about the things Geralt has been doing for the past couple of years in retirement. Then the cinematic opens at Corvo Bianco, where a full on battle is waging in the fields by the vineyard. Geralt is fighting dozens of enemies, progessively getting more and more tired. As the last enemy falls, Geralt falls to his knees, he looks around at the dead enemies, his gaze falls to the ground. In the distance we hear the Majordomo "lunch is ready sir", Geralt looks up to a bright and hot midday afternoon. Instead of bodies lying around, its weeds, lots of weeds. He grabs a rag and cleans the green goo off of his sword and walks to the house. They eat lunch on the porch, play some gwent, and drink some white wolf as the hours pass by. As the sun starts to set beautifully over the estate, Majordomo says "This is a nice life" Geralt responds "Of course it is, you keep beating me!"gesturing to the cards. Majordomo chuckles and takes a sip of wine. Geralt leans his head back, closing his eyes says "yeah it is a good life, a nice quiet life." He doses off and a dream sequence starts, hes hunting monsters, fighting bad men, saving damsels, relishing in the glory and excitement of the chase. He jerks awake to the sound of crickets in the darkness, hes alone, finishes his glass of wine, and mumbles "starting to feel too quiet". He walks into the house, softly closes the door and the screen fades. In the morning, he decides to make a trip into town, to get out of the house and to have a master blacksmith sharpen and clean his sword after the yardwork he did with it. He does this, and walking out of the shop over hears "Im done! I quit! I cant take it anymore!" Another responds "Well how will I get to skellige?" "I dont care! In fact I hope a centipede gets you right here in toussaint!" Geralt is intrigued and goes to talk to the guy being abandoned. He ends up accepting a job offer to escort the man to skellige. Upon arrival, he hangs around for a little bit to visit with old friends. He keeps coming upon various mysterious contracts. People and animals keep disappearing in the mountains. Sheep and cows taken from the fields, travelers and farmers taken from the path, but all leaving no evidence behind. Even cyclops's are being driven into the town causing havoc. He starts to believe its all connected to some flying beast, but what could it be to be causing such problems. He investigates and investigates, sets traps, waits and waits, but nothing works. Finally on a very stormy night, hes asleep under a tree, waiting for his decoy livestock to attract something. Something shakes the ground and awakes him, thru the thick rain, and wind, and clouds, he cannot see anything. He draws his silver sword and takes a knee, waiting for something to appear. He thinks he hears....a low grumbling...laugh? And then a MASSIVE stream of fire erupts, engulfing the live cattle and wooden and spiked decoys alike. Above the sound of the storm he hears the rushing of large wings and then nothing. "A dragon? Couldnt be." Through more events and investigating we learn that a young mage had fallen in love with the daughter of a disciple of lebioda. Clearly this would not be approved in the family. A bunch of drama goes down, maybe the daughter ends up dying? And then the mage turns himself into a giant dragon to wreak havoc on the area. Of course in true CDPR fashion, there would be multiple possible outcomes of the story. So I know youre probably rolling your eyes right now haha, I know the likelihood of this being a DLC is low, but I just had to share it, get it off my chest you know? Thanks for all that you guys do! And thanks for reading this, I appreciate it. Now off to see if Im going to win those gwent decks on ebay! Oh and P.S. if you guys came out with a classic console styled gwent for android, I would most definitely pay for it. $10 or more would be well worth it! 😘😘

Is there anyone else worried about the fact that they announced a trilogy of games (this doesn’t happen often or at all). This worries me because it could mean that the open world they make in the first game is not as massive a reach as The Witcher 3 and they might be trying to tell us to be patient until the 3rd game in the trilogy to get the biggest world possible. I just hope they go all out for each of their games instead of trying to give us pieces of a trilogy. I have such high expectations for the Witcher game after The Witcher 3.

[@WitcherGeorge]

I hope so too. It would be nice to have a cohesive story across 3 games (the Witcher 3 dropping Iorveth and many other characters was annoying but the game was so great it's hard to complain) but if the quality suffers overall that would be frustrating. Let's wait and see!

It's not that they even need to explain it honestly, I don't give a shit if people call it racism but that's culture, it's inspired by real history, and it's an aesthetic that doesn't need to be emulated by other cultures who had their own history and aesthetics.

@@fire-typhoon123 wont be a create u own witcher we get one MMO witcher where we have that option having same here will be no logic School of Lynx was maded in 1273 after 1272 wild hunt story and Dragonfly with Lambert are the leaders they might change that who knows

[@ashleycoburn9770]

Kovir and Zerrikania please

[@kicokyaw1039]

I'd think if it does take place in Kovir, roughly a short while after the Witcher 3, then there should be an effort to show that Kovir is beginning to enter the industrial revolution. Kovir is the richest northern kingdom with its economy based on industry and finance. It would be a huge breath of fresh air, seeing Kovir as more modern and tech advanced than the late medieval setting we are all used to. We can also have access to new toys such as early firearms and experimental gadgets.

[@darken2417]

I hope its not set in Zerrikania, I doubt Western writers will take the leap to portray a middle eastern themed society in an interesting way. It would be far too sanitized. The Zerrikanian merchant in Witcher 3 was fine but I wouldn't like the whole region to get his demeanor. Hell, I even doubt that Warhammer Fantasy would do Araby justice if they ever try it and that goes double for CDProjekt Red with Zerrikania. And of course there would be too much desert filler space.

[@danielsuperkool]

I just want to be apart of a functioning witcher school. Not to just stumble through old ruins and texts that tell us how the schools use to be when they had lots of witchers and mages living in the castles, but to actually have a thriving school. See first hand the witcher trails and how it's performed on the children and confronting that morality first hand.

[@sejtn4626]

So Kovir is like Alaska

[@tomjones8859]

When did they confirm the School of the Lynx? I thought it was still a rumour. Regardless I've been iffy about a new school because the others still haven't been explored but if it's set post Witcher 3, maybe at the turn of the century I'd be more accepting i think. Running with the consequences for the 2nd Conjunction of the Spheres. Also a second continent is discovered is discovered in the early 14th century so that could be a cool DLC or something. Maybe a venture to the Far North too

[@olafmikoaj3121]

They confirmed that the animal on that medalion is a lynx so many people think that means we will get witcher school of lynx

[@tomjones8859]

@@olafmikoaj3121 Thanks. Hadn't heard it was confirmed. I think they've confirmed it's set post W3 so I assume it'll be sort of new Order of Witcher. A melding of all the school styles to give the players full freedom if we aren't playing as a previously seen character. Interested to see what they do.

[@olafmikoaj3121]

@@tomjones8859 Player original character is the last thing I'd like to see in a witcher game. Witcher franchize stands on it's characters and how complex and intresting they are. Protagonists createf by players are usually bland, often speakless and boring. The exeption is V from Cyberpunk because that character had an actual backstory and some kind of personality even though the player is the one choosimg it. I hope for the New character as a protagonist or maybe some other witcher like Eskel or even Ciri would be nice.

[@tomjones8859]

@@olafmikoaj3121 I'd definitely like to play as Eskel. He's almost on-par with Geralt when it comes to swordsmanship and plenty of room to be fleshed out. While I'd like to play as Ciri I'd prefer for that to be in a spin off. Ciri can't cast signs or drink potions so the core gameplay would be different for her.

[@olafmikoaj3121]

@@tomjones8859 With Ciri they would have to make a new combat elementy because she can't drink witcher potions and cast signs. But she has her time and space Powers and normal magic. Maybe they can make her combine witcher combat with actual magic. That would be kinda cool.

A think Kovir is a bit like Venice

a retcon with no Geralt, sounds like a great foundation surely it won't be goofy as fuck. CDPR hear me do a prequel please, witcher is it's already existing characters we dont want new stuff

[@eljay2224]

Apparently keira metz and lambert are involved in this new school somehow?

[@stefankatsarov5806]

Lambert had a friend in the Cat school and Keira is whit him so she is the mage they need. And as someone mentioned a Lynx is kinda like a Wolf and a Cat mixed.

[@eljay2224]

@@stefankatsarov5806 i thought his friend died no? After kaer morhen, keira said she has an idea but needs a witcher to complete it, and this is never elaborated on again so i assume we’ll learn more about it in the next game

I really wished this trilogy was about Vesemir youth because post TW3 means a lot of decisions players made in TW3 will become non-canon.

[@TimoCruz177]

it baffles me that out of all the interesting little pieces of lore we have from the other schools like the bear/cat/griffin/viper school CDPR decided to create a new witcher school where we know absolutely nothing about it. I mean, I wont hate it without even knowing what they are all about but c'mon, no need to invent even more witcher lore

[@WitcherGeorge]

I felt the same way. Honestly it depends on what the story is, perhaps a new school is necessary for it. But a game about any of the other existing schools would've been really good

[@gaalanonim4503]

Since we're off to explore a new witcher school, which (from what I've heard slipped off the tongue of somene in CDPR) was founded by Keira and Lambert, I'm all for creating our own witcher. Maybe even seeing older, Vesemir-age Lambert as a grand master of our school. CDPR proved they are able to create personal story for a new character made by the player in CP77, so I'm excited by the possibility of them polishing that even more. Imagine just finishing up your witcher trials, going on the path for the first time. They could implement seasons too, so that you'd be able to get back to the school in winter, like, 3 times during the game, as you slowly gain experience, scars and fame. It's just my childish dream, but hey - although it wasn't perfect - I got my much needed Harry Potter massive game last year.
