I am not sure of the state of the books in english, but have you read them yet man? Seems right up your alley. I am reading the first one right now (in german though) and it is fantastic.

Not yet, but I've wiki'd the series to death. I really should go and read them, because you're right, they'd be right up my alley.

Only 4 of the 7 have been translated so far, and in the wrong order, unhelpfully. The second of the short story collections comes out just after W3, and the final two in the main series are set for 2016 and 2017.

2 reasons why anyone who reads should give it a try:

1- Books are amazing.

2- I guarantee the game will be a much better experience for the readers.

BTW, Gopher will be doing a Q&A session regarding his gameplay time with TW3 at CDPR in about less than 2 hours.

Are there any video's of people playing inside Novigrad? I fear that that area will be by far the most hardware intensive, so I am curious how the performance will be there. (my cpu is an i7 870, which is a little below minimum specs. I don't think it will be a problem out in the wild or in small villages, but in a huge, sprawling city like Novigrad? I fear the worst there).

The detail of the character models continues to blow me away. Check out this old lady:

Quite a few spoilers in this one, but some really nice vistas + the dungeon, cave swimming. And a new sorceress. If it's Keira then they ruined her.

 

[Chaos17]

Lmao xD

I like how Geralt gets hurt if he gets hit, but I dislike it's gone in a second.

That is such a huge step up from Dragon Age Inquisition..

 

[kriskrosbbk]

OK is this game prettier than AC:Black Flag? I still think it was quite nice running on PS4.

No, one second he has blood in his face and the other second it is gone.

The detail is really amazing and it extends to the small intricacies on clothing, armor and weapons as well.

 

[Primethius]

Amazing, simply amazing!

Two steps forward one step backward.

By a quantum leap. Is it not obvious?

Ah yeah, that is weird.

there's also a lot of pop in, but it's an early version he said in the video.

One thing bugs me regarding drowner.

According to the lore, human drown and become drowner. Where the hell they learn to swim then after they become one? I mean, their superior human form can't yet the lesser, monstrous form can.

Spoiler

Yeah yeah, I've lost my mind waiting for this game.

Arrr.

That is one ugly old lady.

Have some damn respects, young man.

LOL, I guess they have spent enough time in the water to learn.

Loving these GIFs and screenshots. My hype grows larger by the day.

Real talk. People who play as beardless Geralt are monsters.

They arent just regular people who got too close to the water. Rather than bury criminals, people tend to drown them or toss their already dead body into it.

"Drowners are scoundrels who ended their wicked lives in the water. Drowned alive or thrown into deep water after death, they turn into vengeful creatures which stalk the inhabitants of coastal settlements."

 

[Stoze]

Honestly unless they get it so hairworks only dips frames by like 5-10, there's no way I would ever put that on, even on an insane rig. The only real noticeable difference for me with those videos that have it supposedly toggled on is the back of Geralt's hair and ponytail bouncing more realistically.

I understand that they put it on creatures with fur as well, but still. The hair already looks great without it imo.

 

[DOWN]

Real talk. People who play as beardless Geralt are monsters.

100% of players who subject themselves to Bald Jawline Gerry over grizzled Geralt have zero taste.

 

[HeelPower]

I love how they implement "realistic" facial quirks in male NPCs and older female NPCs.

I hope to see young female NPCs who are more on the average/quirky/ugly side.They shouldn't all look like swans cuz they're young women.

The dude looks like someone you'd encounter in real life.He actually looks "average" and doesn't look like a model.

 

[Xando]

I wonder if nvidia drivers at release will improve the hairworks situation. Would like to play with it on, even if that means my 980 dips to 30fps.

Well it grows on it's own so I guess going to a barber all the time will deter some of those people from shaving him all the time

 

[BigTnaples]

Oh hell yes.

This looks fantastic.

 

[erawsd]

Is this from a video? Im guessing it is based on the watermark.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

That is one ugly old lady.

One mans trash is Benjamin Franklins afternoon delight.

For a senior woman she doesn't look good ugly at all.

She simply shows signs of her age on her skin.Something you rarely see in games.

I did not know that. Just how rugged can it get?

 

[Staf]

Looking forward to this game. Will be my first Witcher game. Just a question, will you be able to soley rely on magic in combat to take down foes or will the sword always be the primary offensive weapon?
