Glad to hear it. Playing Witcher 1 & 2 is, sadly, not an option for me. I hope someone in the fan community will make a comprehensive "everything you need to know" video for newcomers prior to the release.

There's wikis and Let's Plays that should catch you up quite nicely. TW1 isn't even vital IMO. It's a bit isolated in the whole scheme of things.

I implore ANYBODY interested in this game to check out the GOG deal

- you get discounts for owning Witcher 1 + 2
- you get Neverwinter Nights
- artbooks
- soundtrack
- CREDIT FOR AUSTRALIAN OVERPRICING

http://www.gog.com/thewitcher3/en

I don't own a lot of GOG games but if this is the way they do games, I'm going to start shopping there more often.

Yep, that fair price policy is a amazing; CDPR is a real class act. It ends up being $72 Australian after the discounts, and then they give you $20 worth of GOG credit to make up for the regional price difference (Baldur's Gate 1&2, don't mind if I do). Totally happy to give these guys my money.

Ciri is underage?
I know she was a kid in the books (I read The Last Wish long time ago) but she looks like an adult in that trailer at least.

Well, we were talking about her in the books, and she was a teenager there.

This is late middle ages equvalent - late teenagers were much more mature back then as people lives were shorter.

How in the hell did this slip to the second page?

My lord this looks so unbelievable. I thought the first two games were so boring but this...This looks awesome.

Guess game of Show has been revealed before E3 even starts

Welp, looks like Sony has nothing good to show.

I'm quite curious to see if Sony or MS will push this in their shows as well.

Not that it matters for me, PC forever. But the more Witcher love the better.

I think CD Projekt RED are going to show up with W3 at the Microsoft conference (not with this trailer, or maybe with him too, but they are going to show gameplay footage too)

"playing" dumb? unpossible

The latter. If you want Steamworks integration (assuming there's to be any) you'll need the Steam version.

That's a bummer. I'm going to go ahead and pre-order from GOG and then see what's announced for the Steam version in terms of features and the likes. If it's not major, I'll probably just stick to my GOG pre order. Thanks for the info though.

I'm really curious if we will ever see actualy console footage before the game comes out. I'd really like to know how many things they had to downgrade in order to run it. But seeing what they did with TW2 on 360 I expect an awesome port.

Really does look stupid good. The moon is a 3D asset.

CDPR are fucking wizards. It seriously looks like CG.
I now have absolutely no doubt that Cyberpunk will look like the reveal trailer now.

Wow, I was going to buy this anyway, but this has me roof-surfing on the hype train.

I thought it was someone doing a good impression of Charles Dance.
Then I read that it really is Charles Dance.
They've come a LONG way from the original Witcher 1 tutorial voiceovers (anyone remember that badly edited horrorshow from the orignal, non-remastered version?)

The Wild Hunt is a good mysterious antagonist. I think I killed it back in Witcher 1 though ;)

Ciri sounds like a very interesting character too. I hope CDProjekt has the balls to make her the protagonist in Witcher 4, assuming this is the last game for Geralt. I need to collect the Dandelion card...

absolutely.

I kinda wish I could play as her in this game.

Maybe they'll do future DLC episode.

I think we are going to get the chance to play as her - as we could play as other characters in W2 (the small gameplay segments) - and they even confirmed this option

This looks really good. I still need to finish Witcher 2 on PC. But I am gonna go out on a limb and say I'll be there day 1 for this one.

And I think the epilogue of the newest book takes place (spoilers just in case)
after the book series. But nothing of note happens to invalidate the games
. So yeah, they co-exist just fine canon or not. :D
Click to expand...

You're correct,
that epilogue takes place a long time after the saga. 105 years to be exact. It's about a girl travelling to the magical academy in Aretuza, who gets rescued from a monster attack by a man looking like Geralt. He never tells his name, but it's him without a doubt. It end with him saying that the story never ends.
So probably there will be future stories set after the saga, but there is no way to tell at this point if the games will remain canon.

We'll likely see a stage demo, with my bet during Microsoft's presser
Apologies if CDPR has bunked that notion

The day-after cycle:

*watching the trailer*
"Holy crap, this is amazing".
*few minutes later*
"Damn, that was incredibly good good. Well, maybe I'm exaggerating things a bit. I should probably keep my cool and watch it again"
*watching the trailer again"
"HOLY CRAP, THIS IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING".

that's more or less what I'm doing in loop.

Questions:

- If I buy the retail PC version of W3 I take it that comes with a way to redeem the game on GOG for future downloading?

- Will the GOG version of W3 have achievements?

- If I have saves from Steam versions of W1 and W2 will I be able to import them in W3 (if such feature is available)?
