I was aroused, but then confused.
Really? I always would check the wiki after playing a chapter (in both games) and see what occurred because of my choices and felt that the Witcher 2 was even better about this than 1 because they dealt with longer branches of choices than they had tried in the first. There were many instances of 'depending on whether you did X vs. Y at choice 1, plus A vs. B at choice 2, then one of, say, four results would occur'.
Unless I misread your comment and mean that you didn't like how the Witcher 2 was more obvious about the effects of choices, which I would agree with, but I think that's a good thing because there were many more instances of parts of the game playing out differently and world states being visibly different depending on your choices.

He's pretty.
What I missed from the first game was the low key pace of the story. The Witcher 2 felt like a summer action movie by comparison.
One of my absolute favorite things about the first game was the 2nd act's detective story. The moment when you do the autopsy and crack the case if you had the right information was an amazing feeling. The sequel never really had anything close to that.
Damn...my coworkers are not going to know what happened to me.
I agree. Some things the first game actually did better. Combat as well. If you played on hard, the swamps were a really fun challenge.

the only thing preventing me from liking witcher games is the combat. when i try to block/roll i should be able to do it, and do it with good response time, instead of hearing an empty fart sound effect. i understand the stamina mechanic, but its just not effective without a better targeting system.
anyways, i definitely await more media on this. going open world sounds very interesting. did the gameinformer article come with in game screens?

Did he say it's the end of the trilogy or am I hearing things?
Last I knew they didn't have any idea how many games they wanted to make.

The end of the Geralt trilogy, I assume.
Maybe they need a break and focus on Cyberpunk after it.
But they did say that the monster quests, at least, would be their own thing, rather than notice board stuff, which tells me they're deliberately moving in a better direction.
They also called them 100 hours of hand-crafted quests. Coming from anyone else, I'd laugh. From CD Projekt? INTERESTED AS FUCK, MOTHERFUCKER
I believe it was planned to be a trilogy for quite a while. I don't know if it was a fan that coined the term but while the novels were called the Blood of the Elves saga, the games seem to be the Wild Hunt saga. I think if any more would be made, it would probably have a new goal and antagonist as the centerpiece. I'm happy with their being a conclusion, but I do feel sadness that this series of games may be coming to an end.

I was talking about the latter...Witcher 2 made it obvious that things would branch at this point whereas in the original Witcher it was a bit more subtle with even the smallest of choices making a difference down the line...(the one example that pops out of my mind being in Act I where if you
let the Scoi'tael take the weapons, the informant in Act II is murdered at the bar.
Alvin/Jacques de Aldersberg thing was just really memorable in making you recount all the little meaningless conversations you had with Alvin without outright stating it
This too...There was a good RPG pace to it which gave you a more complete picture of being a Witcher (Act IV was an amazing change of pace at the perfect time) whereas in the Witcher 2, it felt like you were on tilt the whole time.

I can't wait. 2015 couldn't come soon enough.
2014, barring no delays.
Yeah I'm going to edit the title a bit since people seem confused.

If CD Red can give me TW3 with the size and density of Skyrim with the combat of TW2 the storytelling of TW2/obsidian rpg
Holy shit this game alone will force me to get a launch next gen console.

Damn, I should really get back into TW2, but it's been so long I might have to start over. Any cool mods I should check out?

I am so pumped for this. This sounds like the open world game we have been waiting for. All signs point to yes. Have they mentioned any kind of release timeline yet?

If you have people like this making the game, then you know it's not going to be generic.
Yes, join a gym, get colour contacts and grow a beard. Perfect new year resolution.

Pretty cool.
Kind of early to ask this, but when do you think this game would release? If it's a few years later, it may be a good time to pick up a next-gen console, assuming it'll be more affordable by then for me.
Witcher 3 is the type of game I'd buy a console for.

Goddamn. Many women (and men) would kill to have hair like that.

I'm prefer being in a "story" than in a "world" for role-playing, but I'm not going to complain.
Haha, I don't know if I'm being petty but it sounds like there is a DmC diss in there somewhere.

Well currently it's not really that different looking so I imagine VRAM would be the main concern.
That said they haven't put in the new renderer which could change a lot.

Hopefully I can get a Durango/Orbis by then. It'll be a lot cheaper going the console route then getting a powerful PC!

What... holy... the fuck?
Wow! I didn't even know we were due for a Witcher 3 announcement.
Open world, too? If they can retain even close to the amount of detail they had in The Witcher 2, it's going to be a real treat to explore.
Man, I can't wait. This is the best video game news in a long time.
