I don't like how CDPR wants to sell a Triss as some whore...


I honestly dislike her.She was annoying in TW2.

To be fair, she's plenty thirsty for Geralt in the books too. Overly so. :/ Didn't like her in the books much. She was my choice in TW1, but she was pretty meh in TW2.

Everyone who skipps the first Witcher despite owning a capable PC and owning Witcher 2 is a witchmolol.

They are very different games. W2 is more modern. I thought W1 was great, but it's very catered toward the traditional hardcore PC-gamer crowd.
 
Iorveth was for the weeaboos. Saskia was cool but really was anything as awesome as that scene with Roche and the bridge? Plus I really liked the setting on his path more too, dat war camp

Hmm Nilfgardian king never specifies if he's talking about CIri (who is shown when he is talking about a woman), or Yennefer.

it is about Ciri.

Books spoilers
The king was after her since she was a kid because of her royal bloodline (to rule Cintra), she is also have the blood of the elders elves that why the Wild Hunt were after her but after a while she went away from all of them

I guess She is back to end all of this (because she can)
 
I hope they improved the combat from 1, everything felt over complicated for the reason of being over complicated, I know for a fact my rig won't be able to run this decently

You guys arguing Roche/Ioverth are making me want to play W2 again.

If you played only once, then you definitely need to replay.
I played on release, then replayed with version 2.0 second branch, and I am still extremely excited about third playthrough with Iorveth again, for the first time in Enhanced Edition, with new cutscenes and content.

The funniest part about the books was that basically
everyone wanted to impregnate Ciri and the only one that got close was impotent.

Vergen > that smelly old camp

Only bad thing was Vergen was it clearly designed by a man in love with mazes. Hard as fudge to navigate.

You've gotta play Dark mode on your second playthrough, if only for those sweet armour sets.
 
...Do I need to play the first two to understand what's going on in this one?

This looks incredible and I want it really badly but I haven't played more than two hours of one and two combined.

Probably best to at least play TW2, but it seems like they're making TW3 newcomer-friendly with at least the included compendium. And I'm sure things will be explained.

I did Iorveth's path, then went back and did Iorveth's path again, then went back and played through half the game with Roche. I never finished that one. I would go pick it up right now but my PC is busted and won't see repairs anytime soon.

There is that booklet that comes with Witcher 3 that explains what has happened. But to get the most out of it, I would definitely play Witcher 2 at least. 1 is probably passable

Witcher 2 had big codex entries on everything, so you could more easily understand the Witcher's setting. The two games are connected and related, but the events of both games are largely self-contained, with only a few cameos or references between the two. I see no reason why the Witcher 3 will be any dfiferent.

I would recommend playing all three, but it is in no way a requirement.

Was that Yennifer in the trailer?

Uh... #TeamJennifer ? :x

Finally a real contender for Elders Scrolls , hope the gameplay is great and rises the bar to this kind of genre.
 
This gives me hope that a next gen Red Dead Redemption could be one of the most amazing Western themed games ever.

Only if it doesn't take place in that awful, empty desert setting. Wyoming is calling!

This scenery is outstanding. This is a game I'd buy for the views alone despite not having played 1&2. This looks to be a standard setting game for environments (non-highly stylized environments).

Like others have said, it might be best to play the Witcher 2 first. Still a great game, usually on sale for $4-5 on PC. That being said the Dev's have always been good with making the games approachable. It's got a nice journal that reminds me a lot of the codex stuff in Mass Effect. You talk to an npc, discover a new area? detailed journal entries are updated. Sure that may not be for everyone but they have always been good for leaving the option there for people that want to learn more.
