So who's the blonde girl?

Or guy perhaps?

(Judging by the flowing hair on the hooded rider.)

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

This is supposed to be an open world game so that would seem almost guaranteed. I would think at least.

Correct.

I hope there is some horseback riding

There is, from what I'm reading. Mounted combat is iffy, but horseback is important as the game is open-world.

Ok for now I will just read it and post the good bits. Give me a bit.

[metalslimer]

Need to know platforms!? :)

Launch year game?

[rvy]

So this is a digital copy; since it's not scans, is it acceptable to post screens and what not? If not, I will summarize the juicy bits. Man, I'm fucking ready.

JESUS CHRIST! How good does it look?!

[toastyToast]

Who is that with Geralt? They have blonde/white hair so it can't be Triss and Yennefer has black hair

Another Witcher?

Aww shit

edit: they have a silver sword too

[Tokubetsu]

Feel sorry for any other RPG that drops in the same year.

[LastNac]

How long before dem scans appear elsewhere?

[Nairume]

Is that the Ciri or w/e chick? Isn't she some Mary Sue(lax use of the term)? She gets mentioned in a poem in The Witcher 1.

It's definitely Ciri, since that person is too small to be either Triss or Yenifer.

She's not really that much of a Mary Sue

But she did inherit a massive amount of magical power from her late mother

What is this? Awesome.

Am I just rusty, or am I not supposed to know who Geralt is riding with?

I like.


Also, one of the other books is finally being translated/published, so something else to look forward to.

[Jarmel]

Profile looks female.

[maquiladora]

yessssssss

[Thermite]

COME TO MEEEEE

[zkylon]

So who's the blonde girl? Or guy perhaps? (Judging by the flowing hair on the hooded rider.)

A witcher I take it from the sword on the horse, certainly not raven haired Yennefer or Triss, but it does have sort of a female shape, sorta.

Are there even female witchers in the books?

[mileS]

as many have said... geralt with beard? GOTY inc :P

Female Witcher? interesting. I wonder if she will be playable. My guess is probably not, but that would be interesting.

[Exuro]

Oh man I cannot wait. Are we getting information soon or just the cover art?

EDIT: didn't realize the magazine was out now. Give me all the info.

[EatChildren]

Old Geralt.

Legendary Witcher.

One final mission.

[vic2020]

Cover gives me a bad feeling of potential multiplayer elements

[wingz]

Gearalt with a beard = EPIC

[Riposte]

http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Ciri

[JDSN]

Ways to improve an already great character design= Give him a badass druid beard. At first glance it seems that the other character is a witcher since it has a silver blade but it seems he/she is carring Geralt's. Screw Ciri, I want Shani back. :/

[SerArthurDayne]

Also, positive beard reception is important, guys, so keep it up. If it gets negative feedback they will change it, like bronze Geralt from early W2 media.

[Hypron]

I've only read the first 2 books but Ciri was trained like a witcher.

[Nairume]

If it's Ciri, it's actually quite possible that she could be playable.

When Geralt "died", Ciri became one of the central characters of the Witcher stuff.

[Derrick01]

Old Geralt. Legendary Witcher. One final mission.

Ploughing....ploughing has changed.

[Voice of Reason]

Probably someone that'll lead him to Yennefer

[Technosteve]

Man where is Triss Merigold's titties

[Nirolak]

In case people didn't see the other thread btw:

Was this mentioned? I just got an update from Zinio that my new issue of Game Informer has arrived. Guess what the feature is? GOD IT LOOKS AMAZING>

[zkylon]

Wouldn't say no to this. (Ciri fan art)

[GillianSeed79]

That's definitely a silver sword, but it looks like Geralt is only wearing a steel sword. Maybe the horse is just carrying his sword? Also, someone remind me who Ciri is. Was she just mentioned in the books? I vaguely remember hearing the name Ciri, but I don't have a clue who she is.

[Riposte]

Isn't she 13?

[Zarx]

omg omg omg omg omg
when is the trailer going to go up?

[Nairume]

The books might have mentioned it, but the TV series had some. One of Geralt's mentors in the series was actually a female witcher.

He boned her

[inm8num2]

Looks badass.

[RedSwirl]

Damn now I need to see if someone can add a beard to this:

[Nirolak]

That's definitely a silver sword, but it looks like Geralt is only wearing a steel sword. Maybe the horse is just carrying his sword?

Ciri had a sword:

"A gwyhyr is a splendid gnomish sword, regarded as the best in the world. The gnomes had ceased production of these weapons more than two hundred years before the events of the saga. Gwyhyrs were forged with "dark iron" which made the blades light and sharp as a razor. They were also characterized by their undulating edge and hide covered hilts.

Leo Bonhart wanted a sword for Ciri, and he had chosen a gwyhyr from the collection of a particularly dedicated swordsmith, Esterhazy. She named it "Jaskółka" (English: Swallow; Old Tongue: Zirael)."

Though it was steel.

[Lulubop]

Oh man, need screens and a release date/window whatever.

[disappeared]

Old Geralt. Legendary Witcher. One final mission.

[Currygan]

most excellent news

[Jarmel]

Isn't she 13?

Time skip.

[androvsky]

So why's the female witcher talking on a cell phone? ;)

[zkylon]

Isn't she 13?

Well maybe she's older, as would be Geralt, now bearded and all.

I didn't read the books so I'm just blindly throwing myself into the hype.

[Violater]

When is Geralt just going to settle down with Triss

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

Ok wow, the text is small. I don't want to miss anything good. Here's a small few things I got that I loved.

World supposedly 20% bigger than Skyrim's
30-40 minutes to cross world on Horseback
New streaming technology (CDRED Engine 3)
Geralt's Memory is restored
No chapters/acts
Dude is fucking DONE fighting for everyone else
Everything from solving MYSTERIES to slaying monsters
Coming out on "all top-of-the-line" consoles - I'd say that confirms next-gen is in.

I'll be back with more.

Is it ok to post the screens from the mag, mods?

[Hypron]

He boned her

who would have thunk

[Angelus Errare]

Just when Geralt couldn't get any manlier, a beard arrives. Also second rider seems to be another witcher since that's a silver sword on the horse. Interesting.

That's Geralt's sword. It's a wolf's head on the hilt.

[Riposte]

Time skip.

Oh, the "Sherry Birkin" rule? Fair enough.

[Nairume]

Well maybe she's older, as would be Geralt, now bearded and all. I didn't read the books so I'm just blindly throwing myself into the hype.

Games take place a few years after Blood of Elves, so she'd definitely be older.

[dmr87]

I expect a release date along with a _sick_ trailer when I wake up, don't disappoint me Internet.

Ahhhh yea, this shall fill the PC RDR void.
