Got the game today, installed from disc, updated to 1.02, went through the set up, clicked new game, watched the cut scene showing them tracking the girl, then the loading screen, where the text keeps rotating through different sayings, game doesn't do anything from there, just sits there.

Deleted and reinstalled, left out update, exactly the same?

Something I'm missing?

Currently reading through the thread looking for the answer but...

Can you import your Witcher 2 save?

If you don't have your Witcher 2 save is there a way to import your choices? (I heard there was but don't know if it got confirmed)

Thanks!

Yes & Yes

If you import your save on PC, there will be more imports compared to the dialogue scene.

Can you import your Witcher 2 save?

If you don't have your Witcher 2 save is there a way to import your choices?

From the game manual:

Importing Saved Games

You can import a saved game from The Witcher® 2: Assassins of Kings.
Doing so will incorporate the choices you made in that saved game into your The Witcher 3 experience.

To import a saved game, click on “Import The Witcher 2 saved game” in the Main Menu under the “New Game” option.
NOTE: This option is only available if there are saves from The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings present in the saved game folder:
%SystemDrive%\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Witcher 2\gamesaves

Any The Witcher 2 saved games present in that folder can be imported into The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
However, it is highly recommended you use the final autosave from Act 3 of The Witcher 2, as any earlier saves will not incorporate choices made in the latter stages of the game.

Default settings will be applied to any choices not imported.

If no The Witcher 2 saved games are present, a dialogue can be triggered during the Prologue, allowing you to answer questions to simulate an import of your choices from The Witcher 2.

What level your swords were? I have been wondering if weapon loses durability faster if you use e.g. level 2 sword against level 8 monsters?

Oh, maybe that's the reason. I just got home and checked, it looks like my weapon is level 1.

 

[erawsd]

Was Yennefer ever mentioned in the earlier games? Of what I've seen they don't really introduce her in W3, so I'm just wondering if there's some story bit from 1 or 2 that I'm forgetting. The way the opening of W3 treats her, it almost seems like I should know her already, but I don't.

Shes mentioned quite often in Witcher 2.

 

[Adry9]

If I have TW2 completed on Steam and I'll play TW3 on GOG can I still import my save?

 

[Snuggles]

I'm going to play this videogame.

Yes, pretty much all of the game's comic-style flashback scenes show her directly or reference her. Some more things are revealed about her in the epilogue.

man I wish they would just lock it to 30fps on the X1. I am really worried about the stuttering. Any other technical problem I do not really care about.

She is mentioned in part 2 as Geralt recovers his memory about the Wild Hunt.

Guys,

MediaMarkt in The Netherlands is selling the game. Can anyone tell me how the game is on PS4?

I haven't played Witcher 2 since launch and I lost my saves. Does Witcher 3 have something similar to that ME2 thing that PS3 players got? Where you can select some important choices from the previous game?

 

[aravuus]

2am unlock? I've got a job interview around 9am so I suppose I could get up at 6 or 7 and play for an hour or two.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

[Parsnip]

Oh right, those. Now I remember, and subsequently I remember being similarly confused back then as well. It always felt like they expected me to know her (and Ciri) from the books or something.

Yup, during the Prologue.

You aren't lying. I'm kind of going out on a limb for this game. I loved EVERYTHING ELSE about Witcher 2, but man...dat combat made it rough. Hoping this is a marked improvement.

But yeah, Yennifer's butt.

 

[erawsd]

Oh right, those. Now I remember, and subsequently I remember being similarly confused back then as well. It always felt like they expected me to know her (and Ciri) from the books or something.

Yeah, I actually played Witcher 2 before reading the books and I really didn't understand any of the Yennefer/Wild Hunt stuff either. Especially since the King of the Wild Hunt from W1 was so different than the one you see in W2.

Oddly, my Witcher 2 save games are located in %Steam Folder%\UserData\%SteamID%\20920\remote

I have no save games in that folder you mentioned.

It must be because of Steam Cloud. I wonder if Witcher 3 will find those or if I am going to have to move those manually.

More than 1,5 million copies of The Witcher 3 were sold in pre-orders.

That is so fucking cool. I am happy for CDP. I just wish I bought some of their stocks few years ago.

Got a question, is there gonna be spoilers in this thread or is that in a separate? Because if there is i'm gonna avoid this thread like the plague from now on!

 

[Fata1moose]

On GOG, the store page says the game unlocks in 6 hours, though in my library it says it's available in 14. So will this unlock at midnight local time or earlier?

Not in Witcher 1 (I'm at chapter 5)
I guess it's because of his amnesia.

Awesome, will spend most of my 8 hours at work in this thread safely tomorrow then!

To anyone who has been playing the game, are there a lot of old ruins and abandoned castles around?

I don't necessarily mean ones that aren't inhabited by monsters or wraiths, but abandoned by humans.

Yup. That's additional 500k units sold since last week. Amazing result.

She is also mentioned in dialogue outside of those cutscenes. I think Letho makes a joke about how Geralt juggles two girlfriends.

I've only played W2, though, and in that position you have no idea who Yen and Ciri are. They're just names mentioned here and there.

Nah, I can't.

why did everyone leave him alive? Yeah he may have known you in the past, but he was an agent of chaos for nilfgaard. Unless, I missed something, I just don't understand why people let him go. I guess in my game I saved Triss so I didn't see him do that either, to be fair.

As a reference, Bloodborne (I know, single platform) sold 1 million in about 10 days after release.
This sold 1.5 million even before release.

[boskee]

I have no idea about how these numbers relate. it sounds good. Is that good? And further: at all or only on gog or overall? Are retail copies accounted?

Overall. Last week they announced 1 million copies sold in preorders, which means a whooping 500k units sold in one week. Compare that to 150k units of The Witcher 2 sold in pre-orders.

G2A finally delivered my Key.

No way to play it before the next 6 hours, right?

Read somewhere that DA:I sold 1.1 million in it's first week according to EA. If that number includes pre-orders, which i think it does, that number is very good for the genre.

Edit: Scratch that, saw that the source for that information was from a unreliable website who shall not be named...
