Frequently asked questions
>What is the Witcher
The Witcher is a series of RPGs based on acclaimed fantasy novels by a misanthropic drunken Pole.
>Are the books essential for the enjoyment of the games?
No, not at all.
>Where should I start on the books?
In chronological order:
>The Last Wish
>The Sword of Destiny
>Blood of Elves
>Times of Contempt
>Baptism of Fire
>The Tower of the Swallow
>The Lady of the Lake
Important thing: the second book, the Sword of Destiny, wasn't translated to english from unknown reasons. You can find fan translation on the interet, there are plenty of them.
>Are all the books translated?
All up to the Baptism of Fire, also Sword of Destiny is skipped.
Also, there are complete translations to German, Russian and Spain.
>Does the W2 do a recap of the first's story?
Yes, it does in one short movie (spoliers alert)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPHgWfWFr9k
>I'd like to play them in order, but all I hear about the first's combat makes me worry that I'll be alienated by it before I get into it.
It's all up to you. Some people don't mind the combat, some can't get over it. You could always just play it on easy mod to finish the combat sequences quickly.

>Viziman sewers, late at night
Salamandras were restless. The White Wolf killed Roland Blenheim yesterday, the rumour went. His twin brother, Gellert, was enraged. He wanted to charge headfirst, crush this freak of nature who costed him his own family. His own blood.
Gellert removed his mask and rolled himself a fisstech smoke. He was largely immune to the drug due to inhaling its every possible form while visiting laboratories. Despite not feeling the rush anymore he still did fisstech, out of habit.
Azar Javed still felt the rush. He injected, snorted, smoked, shoved the drug up his arse, even, the man never seemed sated to Gellert. He was fearsome in his anger and somewhat sleazy, disgusting in his benevolence.
A customer, thought Gellert, hearing the steps from afar. A single man was strolling towards the Salamandra's undercover base, not a bit afraid of the perils hiding between the heaps of shit.
The man had cat eyes. And two swords on his back. But his hair wasn't white, neither did he wear that ploughing skullcap like Berengar, the mercenary witcher Roland killed. Roland...
Gellert cursed under his breath, gave the two sentries, guarding the entrance valiantly, a firm nod. They approached the stranger.
"Oi!", one of the sentries shouted at the witcher. "You wanna buy or you lookin' fer work, eh?"
"I want to buy some", said the witcher. His widow's peak was magnificent in its length.
"How much ya wanna?", the sentry insisted.
"Two kilos, the best sort you have. And make it snappy, will you?"
Gellert smiled. Nice transaction to brighten his day, just like he liked it. Roland didn't like to sell during the night, it made his too tired and nervous the next day. Roland, my beloved brother...
One of the sentries disappeared behind the door. The strange witcher whistled a tune, his toned arms crossed on his muscular chest. The man cared about himself, thought Gellert. I should as well. Never enough time...

Triss.
I also have a shameful soft spot forSilethough.
I still always let her die.
>>88384746
Have you seriously not picked up on the foreshadowing yet?
Obviously the PC specs aren't known yet for Witcher 3 but what would the PS4 version equate to in terms of PC settings roughly? Medium, high?

>>88384989
The sentry returned with a small package held suprisingly delicately in his large, meaty hands. The stranger took it and opened gingerly, using a fingernail to render the paper bag.
"And what the hell you think that is?", he asked after a while.
"Best stuff we got", said Gellert, absent-mindedly. He was thinking about his childhood, back in Ellander. With his dead brother.
"This is fisstech, for fuck's sake!"
"What the fuck did you expect?"
"Cheese!"
The witcher dropped the package. Drugs landed heavily in the muddy water under his feet. The sentries unsheathed their weapons immediately. Gellert smirked.
"You are one strange witcher", said Gellert.
"And you are one cheeky cunt", said the stranger.
He drew his longsword from the scabbard in a motion that defied the laws of physics. The quick slash beheaded one of the sentries. Then he quickly parried a slow blow from the other one, dazed him with a pommel and gutted disgustingly.
Gellert didn't even flinch.
The stranger wiped his sword in the sentry's clothing, smiling sarcastically. He sheathed it in the same uncanny movement, only backwards. Then he approached Gellert.
"One bloke told me you are selling the finest good in Temeria down here", he said.
"We are. The fisstech."
Gellert was calm. He expected the White Wolf sooner or later. To be killed by another witcher meant a naught to him. Didn't matter. His beloved brother was dead, anyway. Why live if not for the ones you love?
"Kill me, witcher", said Gellert. "Your kind stalks me anyway."
"My kind?"
"Geralt, the one they call Gwynbleidd."
The stranger smiled puzzlingly. He offered Gellert his strong, tough hand to shake. Gellert asked with a glance.

Did you see in trailer gow Lambert literally daved Geralts ass? And look once again how Yennefer seemed distracted all the time - she clearly thought about Lamberts noodles
Why we haven't seen dwarf women yet
who /waitingfornewversionofthetrailer/ here?
>>88385150
"I'm not his kind", explained the stranger. "Geralt is my enemy just as he is yours. I see no reason in murdering my potential allies. Allow me to introduce myself, good man. My name is Lambert. The King of the Wild Hunt."
Gellert looked deep in Lambert's eyes. He didn't see madness. Quite the opposite. Lambert's eyes were so sane, so wise, so cold and rational.
"My name is Gellert Blenheim of Ellander, brother of recently murdered Roland Blenheim."
Lambert nodded knowingly. He was calculating, thought Gellert. He was calculating my soul's worth in this very moment. He wants to see whether I would be a fine addition to his Hunt.
Gellert wasn't so calm anymore. He wasn't afraid, though. Meeting the King made him believe in his old grandmother's tale he has heard back in his childhood. With Roland...
One day the King shall walk our earth, his grandmother said. And pity the fools who defy him! For his is the just word, just cause, just act and just reward for whose who believed.
And he will drown in blood all who did not believe in him.
Gellert suddenly didn't care much about his brother, about his fisstech, about the ploughing Azar Javed, even about the White Walk who was going to hunt him down. Gellert believed in the King.
He believed in Lambert. And for that Lambert rewarded him. With noodles.

Anyone know who Yennefer's VA is? I like what I hear so far.I'm still inevitably disappointed it's not Laura Bailey though
>>88385210
We have. They're indistinguishable from Dwarf men.
>>88385252
i really am. Although downgrade would mean i could safely launch game on my toaster
>>88385252
Me. But I'm more interested in seeing a trailer they actually planned on releasing, not something done in the last minute.
>>88385364
Yeah I'm actually happy about any potential downgrade because I'm a poorfag with a shit computer. As long as it looks as good or better than TW2 while running on my machine I'm happy.
where are they going to share the uncompressed hurr durr not downgraded version of the trailer
>>88385336
They have beards too?
Reminder
Also what should our policy about spoilers be in these threads?
>>88385653
Yeah, Zoltan is actually a female.
>>88385480
>Yeah I'm actually happy about any potential downgrade because I'm a poorfag with a shit computer
You can always use minimum settings, there is no need to downgrade the ultra settings for people with monster pcs
>>88385114
>best butt in all of temeria

we assume that all people read all the books and played both the games and found all the little hints

Dude should just admit he's a beta and very tsundere towards her.

>They have beards too?
Of course they do.
>not wanting a properly fearsome drunken and bearded dwarf lass
Are you some kind of faggot?
>>88385729
It's sad that CD Projekt's courageous, non exploitative portrayal of the difficulties of a lesbian relationship went unnoticed because of this. Zoltan Chivay and Eudora Breckenrigg are a lovely gay couple.
>>88385774
>Shani
>Not Baker
>>88385729
Why I can't fuck Zoltan?
>>88385847
it was but a cunning ruse of our lord Noodlemaster
>>88385963his arse is too tight
>>88385963
Because she's in love with a woman in Mahakam.
>>88385847
Treating Triss like dirt is the only way she can understand affection. Why do you think she's with Geralt?
>>88385680
Basically follow common sense, I guess? We avoid talking about the leak or use spoilers if we really have to post something from it.Geralt_lonely
And major plot twists/reveals from books and games.

So, did you actually read the books?
I've heard that English translations are somehow shitty.

we have 30 min gameplay that looks way better than that (but is weak compared to some expectations too)
>>88386725
>>Poles still buttblasted
This commercial caused a little shitstorm here
>>88386725
it's not poles who were rused
So does Yennefer have amnesia or not? I was assuming she'd have some degree of it but after the trailer I'm not so sure. Unless the Nilfgaarians briefed her on the Hunt thoroughly.
>>88386903
>this picture
lol
So who's the new playable character?
>>88386930
she's a fucking mage
surrounded by nilfgaardian mages
I think that it's not a big problem for them
>>88387046
That guy whose arm we see in 0:34

>everyone is called thief in Poland
>arseblown when someone else does it just for lulz
why do I even live here
>>88387062
i support this opinion
>>88387046
I think the Ciri bait and switch is actually true.
>>88387062
But look at the shit Geralt had to do to get his memory back/ Repeated exposure to the Wild Hunt plus the Eternal Battle.

Posted on forums, apparently uncompressed version. 3 GB.
>>88387580
>3GB
>2 minutes
holy fuck they really got mad
>>88387536
I thought Geralt just took some shit from Triss and it came back over time? Plus it was coming back over time anyway.
So, what choices from TW2 do you guys plan tu use for first game of TW3?
Iorverhs path, sile dead, Saskia spared but controlled, mages not massacred, Letho slain for being forefather of Nilfgardian mutant-elite forces - which would result in forcing all witchers into similar servixe of monarchs, or execution

>I thought Geralt just took some shit from Triss
He never got to do that. Triss was abducted before she could use the Rose of Remembrance.
> Plus it was coming back over time anyway.
Yes, but very slowly, and primarily from exposure to the Wild Hunt. Without the Eternal Battle he'd still be fairly amnesiac by the end of TW2.

Anyone seen the uncompressed version already? I am at 50%

The first choices I made in my blind run of the game, of course.

lol, that commercial is perfect
fucking butthurt kurwas
>>88388368
There are good reasons to go with either Roche or Iorveth on your first playthrough, and really you should play both to get the most out of the game.
Let's not start this retarded Roche vs. Iorveth shitthey're both horrible people from a moral standpoint anyway

ive never played witcher but im considering getting 3
i dunno what it is about it but nothing about it excites me or makes me want to play it, despite it not looking bad at all
should i get it? what makes them gud games?

>>88390374
>i dunno what it is about it but nothing about it excites me or makes me want to play it,
Then don't play it.
>should i get it?
No. Why would you play something you're not interested in at all?
>>88390374
Story, tough choices whith unexpected, gamechanging consequences hitting you in the least apropriate moments; you'll think about months after finishing the game.
>>88390421

There's very little quality Witcher porn. I guess because the game already has sex scenes in them.
>>88387871
Roche's path
Aryan spared
Henselt alive
Aided Iorveth
Spared the dragon
Silé dead
Still can't decide if I'm going to use the witch hunt or the no witch hunt save though, I like the idea of a strong Temeria and I would like the North to have support from the mages.
>>88391121
Use whatever you picked first. Stick with your decisions you pansy.
Aren't Ciri's boobs a little bit flappy
Will my I5-3570 and 660 2gb be able to run this on high at a decent framerate?
>>88390462
sometimes things can grow on you or end up being a lot better than expected
>>88391310
Don't have my original save anymor and I've picked both choices in different playthroughs, I've got a Iorveth save too but will probably not use it.
>>88391329
That's what happens when you don't wear proper support during athletic activities, young lady.
>>88391363
Well in that case if you're totally unsure just skip TW1 and go straight to TW2 since it's a lot easier to get into. It's like 5 bucks on GOG right now I think.

Nah, Ciri actually has a decent face.
>>88391664

>>88392569
Ciri isn't a Slav. She's from Cintra.
>>88391329
>>88392687
but isn't she based on some obscure slavic actress like yennefer's original model based on grazina whatherface
>>88392865
I don't think so
>can't expand pictures in tw forums unless I register
fuck off
>>88392865
I thought Yennefer's original model was based on Kate Beckinsale in Van Helsing.
>>88392865

Not the same.
I mean this character was based on Yvonne Strahovski and look at her.

How hard are you gonna break Triss's heart, guys?
>>88396546
Not at all.
>>88396546
not that much since I will choose her over Yen
>>88396645
>>88396751
I can't wait to see Triss's reaction if Geralt chooses her over Yennefer. You know it's going to be utter disbelief and she'll cream herself basically instantly.
>>88396830
She won't have time to cream herself since Yen will blow her the fuck out
more like bitcher amirite lol
Dr. Kalkstein, I'm Blue Stripes.
>>88397012
>Choose Triss over Yen
>This changes the game's finale such that Yennefer becomes the final boss

At least he didn't say Trish.

Where if you choose one you lock pretty much any interaction with the other. Could maybe even change the final boss.

Guilty as charged for having doubts and multiple times trying to write her name like that.
the witcher needs to be more progressive

Dethmold confirmed for straight
>>88398526
so basically, 'its only gay if the balls touch'
>>88398526
what is the origin of this expression?
>>88403505
Why do you think they have a saying that states you can try homosexual sex, without being gay?
>>88404261
I don't know. That's what I'm asking.
>>88404896
Fine. Because then they could try homosexual sex without being gay.
>>88405198
But what made them think this?
>>88407562
Alas, we may never know.
