Needs more Yennefer

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
This isn't overly helpful, but:

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?

I don't think CDPR has spoken about key registration yet, but considering you can register retail keys for the first two games, I'd say it's safe bet.

- Will the GOG version of W3 have achievements?

Achievement support will depend on whether or not the Galaxy client supports them.

- 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)?

If there is such a feature, yes, all PC saves will be compatible.

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.

It is pretty awesome to see you this excited over a game haha.
 
The more I watch the trailer, the more excited I become.

If they do it right, we'll be talking about one of the pinnacles of RPGing.

I'm really hoping the game will have more "essence" from W1, than W2, though. The first game felt more adventurous, more traditional. That may be just me however.
 

This is seriously shit. Most people know more than them. Was so difficult to get someone that had read the books that explains things? They even seem to never have played the witcher 1 for gods sakes, talking about Vesemir, Lamabert and Eskel like if they are non important and dont even have names.

bunch of heathens turning on Triss already.

The people who read the books where only waiting for their queen. Triss was only leaving the seat hot while she was not there. lol

Real talk bros. The books any good? I heard the translation was kinda shit and the order was completely fucked when coming to the US so my lore is strictly from the games

The books are amazing. For once Spain got the good end of the deal and we have the whole series and with an amazing translation to boot, and the hard covers with the characters are soooo good.

I'm having a hard time deciding between Triss and Yennefer when the inevitable happens.

#TeamYennefer

Geralt did both so why can't you? ;p

If you get to choose it's going to be really stupid, since Geralt isn't really allowed to. And even if you ignore the fact that the universe has decided that he and Yennefer must be together, the entire series revolves around Geralt finding Yennfer.

Regardless, #TeamYennefer
 
Sooo... what are the projected specs to play this in "high" settings at least on PC? Just trying to get an idea for a potential upgrade.
I think this is going to be a Crysis 1 kind of situation, where the hardware to run the game on Ultra is not yet viably available. Those with excellent rigs will be struggling to maintain 30fps at max settings. At least that is my guess.

Apparently a 780Ti can max it out at 30-45fps, but I'm not sure if that's true or if it includes all the hair stuff. Regardless if there is stuff like Ubersampling I hope they label it as 'for future computers' or something, so people won't get pissed they can't run it. And so people from the future can feel good turning that stuff on at 120fps at 4k.

Wow, I have never played a The Witcher game. Not beacause they don't look interesting, but because of a lack of time.

Looks like I'll have to make some time for this one!

Are Witcher 1 & 2 still worth playing?

Probably not, but I'm curious as to why they chose to show trailer in 30 FPS is this game is running on some beastly PC.

Cinematic feel?

If the rumor that it's running at 30~45fps using a 780Ti and 8xMSAA, then they might as well lock it at 30. Since they're not at the optimizing stage yet, I doubt they even bothered with SLI profiles.

I thought the youtube trailer looked insane but then I watched gamersydes version and...can we ban youtube for all game trailers already? It makes a mockery of this masterpiece.
