The Witcher Retrospective

I count The Witcher 3 as one of my favorite games of all time, but I missed a lot of context having not played the previous two games or read the books. I've now read all the books, and this video is the first of three looking at the entire trilogy. Enjoy.

    Hi everyone. This video took a long time to make, partly because I had to do about 80 hours of reading before I could even start playing the game. I know I say something like this every time, but I'd REALLY appreciate any love you could show the video, whether it be a like, comment, share, etc. It'll help keep me motivated when I'm working on the next two videos in this series!

    The secret is that Triss is going behind Yenniffers back and wants to bone Geralt.

    The sister quest is based on Balladyna by Słowacki.

    I always feel old when people say their first Witcher game was the third one...

    You can make the fight against the Beast a lot easier if you talk to the witch earlier while she's still in her hut. She gives you specter oil which turns the fight from a diceroll to a cakewalk.

    if any game needs a full remaster this game is one of them. Especially since cd project red has more money and has more credibility.

    I've never had any issues with the combat, but this was my entry into the series a while back.

    Apart from character models, Witcher graphics were actually good the year it released.

    You can completely stay neutral between the Order and the Elves. It does make several fights a lot harder since you'd essentially be fighting both sides at the same time, but you are essentially siding with the people of Vizima by staying neutral.

    There's a Witcher 1 Mod by a now CDPR employee called Full Combat Rebalance or FCR, which really turns up the challenge in the game and makes the most out of the fighting system. I can only recommend it.

    ryslaw the project director of The Witcher clarified that his team mainly based the game on KOTOR, in order to honor Bioware for allowing them to use their Aurora Engine for it.
