I love how colorful the game is especially considering how dark the world is thematically

Yep. You could watch some "story so far" video on YouTube if you want to get caught up, but it's not necessary. You can enjoy the game without being familiar with the lore. Hell, even if you play through the first couple hours of The Witcher 3, they give you a lot of background on the world and a witcher's role in it.

Southern France is a general inspiration for the region, yes, among other fairytale medieval tropes.
Oh god i hope not. Then we'll probably get the awful bad french accent Dragon age was filled with. I will strangle myself.

Pretty sure the main enemies being
isn't actually the big reveal of the game.
Every time CDPR has said in interviews that Toussaint had a dark secret they also added that secret were
The trailer looks amazing and just yesterday I bought the expansion pass.
Souther France mainly.
They also said they took inspiration from parts of Italy and Spain.

Quite spoilery, beware.
19.99$ standalone. It's 10% off right now on GOG so 15.69$
The season pass for 25$ was such a steal.

Looks really great! I see some Italian culture made it into this region. Pretty neat.

They've added five new general skills.
Some more pics of the new mutagen menu.
How it works: The big centre mutagen is called a synapse. These 12 new synapses take normal mutagens (red, green, blue) and EXP points to unlock, and research to identify. There's a specific NPC you have to go to do that, called Professor Moreau. His story is quite tragic, it was one of the things I read about that was added in the 1.12 strings.
Anyway, this new system apparently allows for easier mix and match (or hybrid) builds. With this new system, the four new skill slots can change colour, as you upgrade the centre synapse. So you could have two red and two blue. At least, I think that's what it trying to be said.
The more mutagen skills you upgrade, the bigger the centre synapse gets - level 1,2,3 ect. Every time that synapse upgrades, you get an extra slot (one of the four). The centre mutagen will give bonuses to the ability slots that are above or below it.
You can see all the new armours, and their stats in this video. Go to around 17m30s.
All the Grandmaster armours are level 40. No Viper Grandmaster, as that one is already level 39.

My penis is so erect right now give it to me cdpr.
I was getting chubbed up throughout the trailer then at the point it goes "what brought the white wolf to this land of sheep" and they show the grandmaster bear school armor I went full torque.
God damn, should release earlier I don't know what I'll do for the week and a half.

meh. I bet it ends up only 50 hours long.
God it looks brilliant!
Yes me too, I'll never be in time to finish up my NG+ playthrough before the end of may, perhaps I'll load up a save of my first playthrough just for this.
