Quite fitting actually that Philippa was the founder of The Lodge because she's Bi/Lesbian and in Witcher 3 she stated that she found people who don't mix their personal life with politics boring which means she simply enjoys the tension when the sorceresses can't agree on something.
all 3 witcher games are perfect in their own right. witcher 1 in atmosphere, 2 in plot and political dialogue (and the badass finisher animations), and 3 in overall gameplay and open world. thank you xLetalis again for the witcher content. No one captures this game as faithfully as you do.
@Ivan Exell Don’t get me wrong, Witcher 3 is an amazing game in a lot of aspects. Every character is crazy well written, the side quests, combat and world building are second to none, but that story is utter horse shit (especially if you played Witcher 2). You rarely ever feel like you are genuinely progressing the story in Witcher 3, most of it feels like any other side quest and the over arching enemy doesn’t feel that scary. In Witcher 2 the Wild Hunt is talked about like they are literal gods who can’t be stopped. And Witcher 2 ends with Geralt saying he was going to take on said gods. Imagine my disappointment when I find that Witcher 3 turned the Wild Hunt into nothing more than an elite hunting squad.
@Ivan Exell if you think Witcher 3 has a better story than Witcher 2 then you either haven’t played Witcher 2 or you are just an idiot. In terms of plot, character development, actively making decisions that impact the story and world around you. The Witcher 2 comes out on top in every one of those categories. (If you insist on saying the Witcher 3 has a better story can you at least explain why?)

@@betelgeux6010 I agree with you on the entiled woman shit but this Triss vs Yen is about Geralt... Triss took advantage over Geralt`s amnesia, you realize that in this scene and even strongly implied by Phillipa moments before. Even Triss imply you to let things as is at W3... I kissed her at the fountain but said to her bye at the boat. Again this is about Geralt, triss is even plain boring since W1 and I see geralt liking more of a romantic rollercoaster and thats Yennefer... he is a hunter, he is the wolf after the gazelle at their romantic cutscene. Damn if not about Geralt but me, I would have supported the stupid Hjalmar to see a King of Skellige and not a smart "strong woman" Queen.
Dark prince Are you kidding he's looks more badass in this one compare to part 3 were he looks like a normal retire guy who just want to spend some time alone with someone but he can't do that
With this, Triss will help you in the epilogue and you will meet a Iorveth paralyzed/crippled by Philippa's magic. Still grasping the enchanted dagger.
As much I love witcher 3 I can't help but think that Geralt was a bit more badass in witcher 2. He was a bit more light hearted and funny in witcher 3 which was great too but in this you seriously wouldn't want to to fuck with him
loafhero eh his physique was fine you saw he was stacked during the interrogation you just mentioned. He wasn't humiliated either, if that interrogation hadn't happened Geralt would have been killed as a kingslayer. Dunno what choice you made but I wasn't captured by Nilfgaardians, I allowed it to see Shilard. As for QTE deaths they aren't canon lol your only good point was the Dethmold fight, it was weak writing to ensure Geralt would see Saskia as the dragon.
loafhero and the point is he is still stacked in witcher 2 even if it is less than witcher 3. Yeah and Geralt can reply with a witty remark to that. He is less worried than Roche expects him to be. Yeah Shilard orders Geralt dead, doesn't mean if Roche didn't interfere that Geralt wouldn't have got out of it anyway. Witcher 3 didn't have QTEs at all in cutscenes which was a better choice tbh but they were easy so if you fail them you deserve an embarrassing death, my favourite being falling off the dragon lol
@loafhero exactly, Geralt has so many badass moments in the Witcher 3 and a lot of sassy ways to respond to people, Witcher 2 geralt doesn't hold a candle against his third game counterpart
People always made triss lying to geralt like it was such a big deal triss wasn't sure about her findings so she investigated more for more evidence i thought that she actually lied not this lel
Witcher 3 is an amazing games. But I just prefer Geralt's look, voice, behavior as well as the story, plot and atmosphere in here. (And of course armors and weapons lol) The lighting is also far better here, much more fantasy like and fitting. I think I'm going to play through it again now that I've seen this lmao. :D
@@xLetalis Indeed, and the most badass imo. It's also a shame that it doesn't make any (big) difference in W3 if you saved Triss or went with Roche / Iorveth. But hey, at least we got W2. :D
As much as I love the witcher 3, I preferred the witcher 2 story. The wild hunt didnt interest me that much compared to the tricks of Letho and Philippa.
@@iscissor1 I agree. Wild Hunt's story could have been 10 times better though, all that build up for the Wild Hunt was great already. Not that Witcher 3 has a bad story, it's very good, just more emotional and with very little to no politics and intrigues at all. :(
You're right, but I wasn't quite talking about the voice. It's in his speech patterns. In Witcher 3, his speech felt more alive despite being somewhat monotone as if he was in the modern era, in here he talks like a man who is dead inside more fitting for the era he's in.
Not sure about the era. But witchers are supposed to be deprived of emotion. Witcher 2's Geralt sounds more emotionless and Witcher 3's Geralt sounds a little more lively despite being monotone.
I think by " Don't insult me "triss doesn't refers on insulting her about being. Used by lodge RATHER ,She asks geralt to "not Insult her love for geralt, that her love for him is infant , and true 🥰"
She offered to help him find her at the beginning of the game. She was gonna do a magic spell with a petal from a Rose of Remembrance that would give him his memory back
I have had this game in my steam library since before i played Witcher 3 but never got around to it... looking at these cut scenes it's quite astounding how much better flowing the dialog in the Witcher 3 is in both writing and performance. just makes me appreciate the Witcher 3 so much more... still gonna have to play through this when i finish my current Witcher 3 playthrough, if it's even half as good it will be worth the effort.
Wow the dialogue as well as Triss in particular is a bit more intelligently written than TW3. Triss comes across much more intelligent and capable here. I never knew this side if Triss in TW3. I prefer this level of political intrigue to the wild hunt.
Hmmm. This is a very informative video for those of us who only played TW3. What puzzles me now is what Yennifer's role was in all this and why she is so anxious to re-establish the Lodge in TW3. Re-establishing the Conclave makes sense, since they appear to have been a responsible governing body for mages, but the Lodge?? And why is everyone in TW3, including Geralt and Triss, so anxious to protect Phillipa and keep her out of Radovid's hands? As little as I like Radovid, I think I would have stood by and cheered as he gutted her after seeing this.
They need powerful mages for the fight against the Wild Hunt and Phillipa qualifies. The only thing you can have against her is personal hatred. She's no different than other individuals who desire power, including those who already have it. People don't become powerful by being nice and smiling. At the end of the day, Radovid has done worse things BY FAR.
@@CanIHasThisName I'd choose the Lodge over North Ruler and the Empire anytime, At least the lodge doesn't plan to exterminate other races and hunt other mages, they're not really planing to wage more wars and expand once they can get to settle in a mage haven kingdom. They are schemers, but which rulers in this universe isn't ? I loved Foltest, but I think the sorceress lodge would make better rulers than any other.
@@sexualharassmentpanda7273 Pure conjectures. I'd give them a chance, beside they already have the power to do a lot of bad things in my list and they don't, so I' have a little more faith in them.
@@Deorman some of them do. And witchers like letho have caused all manner of chaos as well. If mages can create witchers imagine what else they could do?
@@CanIHasThisName That's not quite my point, wether it is 100% based on books, or an adaptation, a story driven RPG will have long dialogues to give context. Moreover in games with a book basis, you generally find longer than usual dialogues that refers to the books (i.e. quoting the books), or a vast unseen lore.
I did not play the game yet, but I find it a bit sad that it seems so ignored by the community. People don't seem to talk about it as much as the first one even, let alone the third. I wonder why that is.
How ? She's a liar who manipulated Geralt and could've helped him regain his memory much faster if she had told him the entire truth straight away in The Witcher 1, and as Philippa said (i think) she lacks courage and determination as a Mage. Losing one more Sorceress isn't that much of a loss, compared to letting Philippa and Sile have a Dragon at their command, and thus leaving Vergen and the whole of upper Aedirn fall back under Henselt's rule or something.
@zgb14 Exactly. Saving Triss means a lot of people are fucked afterwards, she's just not worth it. Whereas saving Saskia still means Philippa and Sile's plans are foiled, Vergen doesn't lose their Leader and Triss lives regardless. I always let Letho live, because he did save and help Geralt prior to TW2, and although Foltest seemed nice, I don't hold much love for the Northern Kings and Kingdoms. My only regret when you save Saskia is that you don't get to kill/have Shilard killed. But it seems that Emhyr takes care of that anyway...
@@Tomcat_Coyote no saving triss means a lot of people and mages are saved. in that case radovid has a conclave of mages and only burns those who don't wanna serve him in witcher 3. you can even meet carduin in witcher 3 in that case. according to a comic named "matters of consequences" iorveth path is canon and judging by its plot it's safe to say that iorveth managed to release saskia from phillipa's spell with her dagger, but he did it in a wrong way so she can't control her dragon form completely, which means that saving triss is canon as well. still i sided with dijkstra because he improved the north and got rid of witch hunters and racism. they should've not turned radovid into an edgelord tho because according to witcher 1 and 2's lore non humans and humans lived peacefully together in redania under his rule. zoltan's dwarven fiance's father owns a lot of mines in redania and elves also had special place where they had jobs as artists, blacksmitsh (one of them still works as a blacksmith in witcher 3) etc etc.
I mean Yenn also cheated on Geralt as well, and Geralt isn't some dude who needs to stay married forever with one woman alone. In fact in these games you can cheat on the woman with other woman. How do you think i got my card collection in TW1? If anything, seeing my waifus sad is more distraught than them finding i cheated on them
"How can you risk your life for a witch?" All I can think is Geralt replying: "How can you?" My only problem with the whole "saving,' scene, is that Triss is so melodramatic, you'd think she be a little more excited? Grateful? A kiss would have been nice... But I do gotta admit, her comment about: "You killed them all?" "They didn't slaughter themselves..." Was priceless.
.. It's not like that! *Geralt presses* .. Alright, it's true What witcher 2 taught me of the lore. Do NOT trust the ploughing sorceresses. That goes double for Triss.
@@masterpiecehunter673 Witcher 2 maybe, but Witcher 1 is definitely not coming to modern consoles. The interface is built completely for PC and it's pretty dated now.
Every chance I got I told Triss I didn’t want to lose her but CDPR fuck you over. The djinn should of had 2 different play throughs, one for being with Triss, and the version currently in game. I hate the way Geralt asks Yen, has anything changed letting her profess her love, for you then to turn her down, it’s completely incentive. I played Witcher 3 first on PS4 and thought it was awesome, and then bought all 3 on pc, and realised that the beginning of Witcher 3 made no sense, it should of been Triss and Geralt
When you realize that witcher 1 and 2 used the same engine as dao and witcher 1 came out looking different in graphics compared to dao like I saw a clip of just the hills and mountains in witcher 1 I thought it was dao
It wasn't the same engine. The Witcher 1 used an heavily modified Aurora Engine (used by games like Neverwinter Nights), The Witcher 2 used the Red Engine made by CDPR and Dragon Age Origins used the Eclipse Engine
It was probably the best way to bring Geralt back from the dead without introducing a large backstory to bridge the gap between the books and the games.
I pity you( It was such a joy to go from dull slow mostly boring corridor filled tw2 to truly open world exciting smartly done tw3 Such a jump in quality for CDPR
@@moonknightish hence of "balls of steel", but its still fun to emotionally abuse her during gameplay. I've called her degrading names to vent my rage too many times to count, same goes for Yen, Roach, Ciri, Geralt.... All the characters names get replaced with "useless cunt" when steeped in annoying gameplay. xD Its not just Triss.
Why does the author hate these games? I am aware that he doesn't like that Geralt survived the wild hunt at the end of the book series, but that can't be the only reason. Right?
Jesse A I think it may be resentment. His books ended on a particular note yet the games then ignored that ending and started Geralt's journey once again, becoming extremely popular in the process. But it's quite alright in my view. People may have their views
A simple reason is that author, Andrzej Sapkowski, didn't expect any success when he sold rights to CDPR. He charged only once not a big amount of money. AND when games became popular (The witcher 1 had sold over 1 mln copies) he realised he was left with almost no profit from it.
She " did ". Yen was the one telling the Emperor everything he need it to know about the Lodge and the Northen Kingdom, so he can invade and ransack the land ...but, hey, that's ok. She got money and power for it.
Witcher 2 was soooooo good. I personally liked it more than Witcher 3. Before CDPR jumped on the open world bandwagon. Don't get me wrong, Witcher 3 was good, but Witcher 2 just felt much more engaging and immersive.
Yeah, each witcher game have it's own strenghts which CDPR made a great job of highlighting. In all honesty though I wish Witcher 2 was a bit longer, like Witcher 1 perhaps, but would it be as strong game then if it was dragged on for longer I'm not sure. It's a great bridge between W1 and W3.
I strongly disagree. I almost gave up on the second game halfway through. Way too linear and very monotonous. While I can understand why that would be more appealing to some, I personally consider it the worst instalment of the series and that's taking into account the horrendous combat system of the first game.
Why y’all hating triss? God damn you either choose Triss or yen to romance like goodness calm down, I’ve always liked Triss more then Yen but y’all do what y’all wanna do idc
@@nukaberry447 Most of them hate on her cuz she's a lying, double crossing, control freak in the books. That being said she's got an amazing character development.
@@xLetalis so many choices, so many outcomes, all are shitty. If you save triss, you guarantee the nilfgaard victory, pretty much? My only question is, after all this much fuckery, why would I save shila? Why would I let Letho go? "I didnt kill you" WEll you damn should have, after all the shlt you dumped on me, you expect not to die?
texteel - Witchers have each other’s backs? Geralt saved Letho pre-game (flashback) and Letho got Yen to safety in Nilfguard. Geralt getting blamed for Foltest’s death was about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Letho did not plan on framing Geralt. Morally speaking Letho is no better or worse than other Witchers. Even the regicides were done for the promise of restoring the school of the Viper...and understandable motive if one is committed to the vocation.
"Dragons are Dragons because humans can't beat them" You can leave her alone, dragons regenerate faster than humans, and when she pulls herself out of the tree, you can see she still breathes. Thats the least you can do.

that choice was a pretty easy one, didnt even help with that djinn thing
@@betelgeux6010 I agree with you on the entiled woman shit but this Triss vs Yen is about Geralt... Triss took advantage over Geralt`s amnesia, you realize that in this scene and even strongly implied by Phillipa moments before. Even Triss imply you to let things as is at W3... I kissed her at the fountain but said to her bye at the boat. Again this is about Geralt, triss is even plain boring since W1 and I see geralt liking more of a romantic rollercoaster and thats Yennefer... he is a hunter, he is the wolf after the gazelle at their romantic cutscene. Damn if not about Geralt but me, I would have supported the stupid Hjalmar to see a King of Skellige and not a smart "strong woman" Queen.
geralt looks so creepy on this one.
Dark prince Are you kidding he's looks more badass in this one compare to part 3 were he looks like a normal retire guy who just want to spend some time alone with someone but he can't do that
Its because of graphics
geralt in witcher 1 is more...you know...
He looks younger and actually like a mutated human would look
You mean he actually looks like a Witcher
Ah, I had forgotten about the instant demonetization when I took a break from the Witcher :)
UA-cam really doesn't like the Witcher then
i hope it is your canon choice
I'm actually not sure which is my canon choice
With this, Triss will help you in the epilogue and you will meet a Iorveth paralyzed/crippled by Philippa's magic. Still grasping the enchanted dagger.
Hmmm witcher is definitely the best for walkthroughs 😀
As much I love witcher 3 I can't help but think that Geralt was a bit more badass in witcher 2. He was a bit more light hearted and funny in witcher 3 which was great too but in this you seriously wouldn't want to to fuck with him
loafhero eh his physique was fine you saw he was stacked during the interrogation you just mentioned. He wasn't humiliated either, if that interrogation hadn't happened Geralt would have been killed as a kingslayer. Dunno what choice you made but I wasn't captured by Nilfgaardians, I allowed it to see Shilard. As for QTE deaths they aren't canon lol your only good point was the Dethmold fight, it was weak writing to ensure Geralt would see Saskia as the dragon.
loafhero and the point is he is still stacked in witcher 2 even if it is less than witcher 3. Yeah and Geralt can reply with a witty remark to that. He is less worried than Roche expects him to be. Yeah Shilard orders Geralt dead, doesn't mean if Roche didn't interfere that Geralt wouldn't have got out of it anyway. Witcher 3 didn't have QTEs at all in cutscenes which was a better choice tbh but they were easy so if you fail them you deserve an embarrassing death, my favourite being falling off the dragon lol
@loafhero exactly, Geralt has so many badass moments in the Witcher 3 and a lot of sassy ways to respond to people, Witcher 2 geralt doesn't hold a candle against his third game counterpart
Look the way those two talk to each other. I can feel romance there😍 Triss will always be the one for Gerlat for me
People always made triss lying to geralt like it was such a big deal triss wasn't sure about her findings so she investigated more for more evidence i thought that she actually lied not this lel
That damn tattoo, I never found the herbs.
wow, their eyes look so lifeless. I'm glad they managed to give it more soul in witcher 3
Its better in witcher 2
This game was a masterpiece in its own way. Nice upload!
Witcher 3 is an amazing games. But I just prefer Geralt's look, voice, behavior as well as the story, plot and atmosphere in here. (And of course armors and weapons lol)
The lighting is also far better here, much more fantasy like and fitting. I think I'm going to play through it again now that I've seen this lmao. :D
I think this look of Geralt is most fitting for his book description :)
@@xLetalis Indeed, and the most badass imo.
It's also a shame that it doesn't make any (big) difference in W3 if you saved Triss or went with Roche / Iorveth. But hey, at least we got W2. :D
As much as I love the witcher 3, I preferred the witcher 2 story. The wild hunt didnt interest me that much compared to the tricks of Letho and Philippa.
@@iscissor1 I agree. Wild Hunt's story could have been 10 times better though, all that build up for the Wild Hunt was great already. Not that Witcher 3 has a bad story, it's very good, just more emotional and with very little to no politics and intrigues at all. :(
Didn't exactly reveal everything but close enough
We need a Remastered Witcher 2 for next gen consoles! Great Game!
Geralt speaks differently in here compared to Witcher 3. And I'm not just talking about the voice.
ScrodingerIsAlive User 627 I noticed the voice changes a bit
You're right, but I wasn't quite talking about the voice. It's in his speech patterns. In Witcher 3, his speech felt more alive despite being somewhat monotone as if he was in the modern era, in here he talks like a man who is dead inside more fitting for the era he's in.
And what era he is in? And what his voice have to do with it?
Not sure about the era. But witchers are supposed to be deprived of emotion. Witcher 2's Geralt sounds more emotionless and Witcher 3's Geralt sounds a little more lively despite being monotone.
But Gerlat is unique in that sense that the mutations didn't supress his emotions.
That glitch tho at 1:58 where he tries to click "I couldn't leave you" But it's stuck and chooses the other option. I hated that
Press Escape it should help
I think by " Don't insult me "triss doesn't refers on insulting her about being. Used by lodge
RATHER ,She asks geralt to "not Insult her love for geralt, that her love for him is infant , and true 🥰"
6:35 she wanted to play Gwent with Philippa
"How could you risk your life for a witch"
Could ask you the same question
9:14 Triss is like: "Oh no he knows of yennefer" and "fuck, i cant use him anymore" :D
She offered to help him find her at the beginning of the game. She was gonna do a magic spell with a petal from a Rose of Remembrance that would give him his memory back
I have had this game in my steam library since before i played Witcher 3 but never got around to it... looking at these cut scenes it's quite astounding how much better flowing the dialog in the Witcher 3 is in both writing and performance. just makes me appreciate the Witcher 3 so much more... still gonna have to play through this when i finish my current Witcher 3 playthrough, if it's even half as good it will be worth the effort.
Emhyr laughing as the manipulated everyone without even stepping outside of his court
The model of Triss is sexier in Witcher 2 than in The Witcher 3
Wow the dialogue as well as Triss in particular is a bit more intelligently written than TW3. Triss comes across much more intelligent and capable here. I never knew this side if Triss in TW3. I prefer this level of political intrigue to the wild hunt.
You know what I like about geralt is that he is an honest and forth right man even when he is surrounded by vile conniving deceitful people.
Hmmm. This is a very informative video for those of us who only played TW3. What puzzles me now is what Yennifer's role was in all this and why she is so anxious to re-establish the Lodge in TW3. Re-establishing the Conclave makes sense, since they appear to have been a responsible governing body for mages, but the Lodge?? And why is everyone in TW3, including Geralt and Triss, so anxious to protect Phillipa and keep her out of Radovid's hands? As little as I like Radovid, I think I would have stood by and cheered as he gutted her after seeing this.
They need powerful mages for the fight against the Wild Hunt and Phillipa qualifies. The only thing you can have against her is personal hatred. She's no different than other individuals who desire power, including those who already have it. People don't become powerful by being nice and smiling.
At the end of the day, Radovid has done worse things BY FAR.
@@CanIHasThisName I'd choose the Lodge over North Ruler and the Empire anytime,
At least the lodge doesn't plan to exterminate other races and hunt other mages, they're not really planing to wage more wars and expand once they can get to settle in a mage haven kingdom. They are schemers, but which rulers in this universe isn't ? I loved Foltest, but I think the sorceress
lodge would make better rulers than any other.
@@Deorman they would be no different. Worse actually as they have far more power than normal humans. And power corrupts
@@sexualharassmentpanda7273 Pure conjectures.
I'd give them a chance, beside they already have the power to do a lot of bad things in my list and they don't, so I' have a little more faith in them.
@@Deorman some of them do. And witchers like letho have caused all manner of chaos as well. If mages can create witchers imagine what else they could do?
Damn I need to replay TW2
The Butcher of Blaviken great game
T: You have no memory of how the world worked.
G: Actually I know *exactly* how it worked.
T: *Oh shit...*
"How do you know of the Lodge?"
"I read the books"
and I thought there was a lot of talking in TW3...
You've got to remember that it is based on books, long dialogues are to be expected
Miraideat I know lol, but I enjoy the conversations, so it doesn't bother me
Miraideat just finished tower of swallow and omg is the dialogue long lol
@@Miraideat It's not based on books, it's a free adaptation of books.
@@CanIHasThisName That's not quite my point, wether it is 100% based on books, or an adaptation, a story driven RPG will have long dialogues to give context. Moreover in games with a book basis, you generally find longer than usual dialogues that refers to the books (i.e. quoting the books), or a vast unseen lore.
See I picked Iorveth cos I knew Letho would have my back.
3:11 👀 the proof that geralt is werewolf 👀
I did not play the game yet, but I find it a bit sad that it seems so ignored by the community. People don't seem to talk about it as much as the first one even, let alone the third. I wonder why that is.
well it's definitely worth talking about ;]
I actually prefer this one to the first
I like witcher 2 more than 1 and 3.
Saving Triss def feels like the best most positive choice for the ending of The Witcher 2 n overall mages
How ?
She's a liar who manipulated Geralt and could've helped him regain his memory much faster if she had told him the entire truth straight away in The Witcher 1, and as Philippa said (i think) she lacks courage and determination as a Mage. Losing one more Sorceress isn't that much of a loss, compared to letting Philippa and Sile have a Dragon at their command, and thus leaving Vergen and the whole of upper Aedirn fall back under Henselt's rule or something.
@@Tomcat_Coyote Yeah I always save Saskia, Letho saves Triss either way wich gives Geralt another reason to let him live.
@zgb14 Exactly.
Saving Triss means a lot of people are fucked afterwards, she's just not worth it. Whereas saving Saskia still means Philippa and Sile's plans are foiled, Vergen doesn't lose their Leader and Triss lives regardless. I always let Letho live, because he did save and help Geralt prior to TW2, and although Foltest seemed nice, I don't hold much love for the Northern Kings and Kingdoms.
My only regret when you save Saskia is that you don't get to kill/have Shilard killed. But it seems that Emhyr takes care of that anyway...
@@Tomcat_Coyote no saving triss means a lot of people and mages are saved. in that case radovid has a conclave of mages and only burns those who don't wanna serve him in witcher 3. you can even meet carduin in witcher 3 in that case. according to a comic named "matters of consequences" iorveth path is canon and judging by its plot it's safe to say that iorveth managed to release saskia from phillipa's spell with her dagger, but he did it in a wrong way so she can't control her dragon form completely, which means that saving triss is canon as well. still i sided with dijkstra because he improved the north and got rid of witch hunters and racism. they should've not turned radovid into an edgelord tho because according to witcher 1 and 2's lore non humans and humans lived peacefully together in redania under his rule. zoltan's dwarven fiance's father owns a lot of mines in redania and elves also had special place where they had jobs as artists, blacksmitsh (one of them still works as a blacksmith in witcher 3) etc etc.
@@Tomcat_Coyote henselt's rule isn't that bad because he only executed 3 of saskia's men whereas nilfgaard commits genocide against the whole city.
Shit like this is why i never felt bad about cheating on Triss.
I mean Yenn also cheated on Geralt as well, and Geralt isn't some dude who needs to stay married forever with one woman alone.
In fact in these games you can cheat on the woman with other woman. How do you think i got my card collection in TW1? If anything, seeing my waifus sad is more distraught than them finding i cheated on them
This Geralt is a zombie, zombie, zombieeee eh eh eh
triss looks better in witcher 2 than in witcher 3
9:15 "That means...You're gonna leave me for Yennefer...AGAIN!"
Watching this you really notice that the scripts in wild hunt are a level above and the voice acting 2 levels.
oh yeah
it's even worse in Witcher 1 :)
"If Síle fears anyone, it's Geralt of Rivia."
witcher 2 is so much more brutal than 3
"How can you risk your life for a witch?"
All I can think is Geralt replying: "How can you?"
My only problem with the whole "saving,' scene, is that Triss is so melodramatic, you'd think she be a little more excited? Grateful? A kiss would have been nice...
But I do gotta admit, her comment about: "You killed them all?"
"They didn't slaughter themselves..."
Was priceless.
I sooo wish that everyone could speak polish and play this game in polish, it's so much funnier than the english version.
so, saving Triss and helping Yorveth is the ending witch had no influence on witcher 3
No, that was my rationale for giving up Roche when Dijkstra made his move in A Reason of State. Sorry, Roche, I’m a Iorverth guy.
YOU'RE BACK!!
I fought almost an entire army though just to save Triss. Why is it not in this video ?
left it out
A dialogue that long we don't have in Witcher 3, thank god.
.. It's not like that!
*Geralt presses*
.. Alright, it's true
What witcher 2 taught me of the lore. Do NOT trust the ploughing sorceresses. That goes double for Triss.
And yet Geralt has no problem with trusting Triss or Yenn.
I burst a laugh when she said "9 women rarely agree on anything" .
As much as I love the Witcher, this was a bit of an info dump.
true, I prefer going for Saskia
Haha. Nothing compared to the conversation with Letho lmao
@@memebot6490 yes but Letho is optional
Yeah, this game has big issues
Don't see why that's an issue. Deep conversations like this are exactly what's missing in Witcher 3.
First time I played this I was like: Eh wat?
Kirea, Fringila, yen, triss, lady of the lake, and shani did all agree to sleep with Geralt. Thats halfway to middle ground
I wanna play this freaking game.

Every chance I got I told Triss I didn’t want to lose her but CDPR fuck you over. The djinn should of had 2 different play throughs, one for being with Triss, and the version currently in game. I hate the way Geralt asks Yen, has anything changed letting her profess her love, for you then to turn her down, it’s completely incentive. I played Witcher 3 first on PS4 and thought it was awesome, and then bought all 3 on pc, and realised that the beginning of Witcher 3 made no sense, it should of been Triss and Geralt

When you realize that witcher 1 and 2 used the same engine as dao and witcher 1 came out looking different in graphics compared to dao like I saw a clip of just the hills and mountains in witcher 1 I thought it was dao
It wasn't the same engine. The Witcher 1 used an heavily modified Aurora Engine (used by games like Neverwinter Nights), The Witcher 2 used the Red Engine made by CDPR and Dragon Age Origins used the Eclipse Engine

It was probably the best way to bring Geralt back from the dead without introducing a large backstory to bridge the gap between the books and the games.
lots of rpg utilize amnesia...it allows the player freer roleplaying options
The Witcher series: Bring your brain! :)

I hope geralts involve in someway tho if he’s not present then it will feel incomplete

Just finished tw3 and i am trying tw2
When i tried it, i am struggling af with the controller shdfkfkfkdskshssksk
yeah.. controls aren't as good
I pity you(
It was such a joy to go from dull slow mostly boring corridor filled tw2 to truly open world exciting smartly done tw3
Such a jump in quality for CDPR

Is this the remastered?
Enhanced edition
I played witcher 2 start to finish and dont remember this part plus the graphics are completely different than what I remember explain this nonsense.
you may have chosen a different path, going to rescue Triss is optional, as for the graphics... they could've been worse on launch?
Maybe because you've chosen to rescue Anaïs, Foltest`s bastard daughter.
The best mission in the whole game.
If there's one thing CDPR does is give Triss balls of steel. Cuz they were nonexistent in the books save for the last five minutes of LotL.
She actually went through some growth during Witcher 2 and 3.
@@moonknightish hence of "balls of steel", but its still fun to emotionally abuse her during gameplay. I've called her degrading names to vent my rage too many times to count, same goes for Yen, Roach, Ciri, Geralt....

Biggest pro to rescuing Triss. Shes hot.
And not toxic like Yennifer. At least in the Witcher 3
Damn the Nilfgardiaans are unending.

Sorceressessesesses!
Radovid?
Why does the author hate these games? I am aware that he doesn't like that Geralt survived the wild hunt at the end of the book series, but that can't be the only reason. Right?
Jesse A I think it may be resentment. His books ended on a particular note yet the games then ignored that ending and started Geralt's journey once again, becoming extremely popular in the process. But it's quite alright in my view. People may have their views
He despises video games and views players as stupid people generally.
@@samaepl Im starting to dislike him...
People who know him (the author) and his work well have a love-hate relationship with him lol
A simple reason is that author, Andrzej Sapkowski, didn't expect any success when he sold rights to CDPR. He charged only once not a big amount of money. AND when games became popular (The witcher 1 had sold over 1 mln copies) he realised he was left with almost no profit from it.
Question, at this point its stregobor death?? or Im so lost as i think I am??
Gosh I'm not sure... I don't think they mention him in the games at all, or do they?
I think Yennefer would have handled this situation better.
obviously
She " did ".
Yen was the one telling the Emperor everything he need it to know about the Lodge and the Northen Kingdom, so he can invade and ransack the land ...but, hey, that's ok. She got money and power for it.
Yennefer deals with everything better lol
@@othergeorgea no
Yennefer handled it way worse
i like the voice acting in Witcher 2 its more emotionless
Witcher 2 was soooooo good. I personally liked it more than Witcher 3. Before CDPR jumped on the open world bandwagon. Don't get me wrong, Witcher 3 was good, but Witcher 2 just felt much more engaging and immersive.
Yeah, each witcher game have it's own strenghts which CDPR made a great job of highlighting. In all honesty though I wish Witcher 2 was a bit longer, like Witcher 1 perhaps, but would it be as strong game then if it was dragged on for longer I'm not sure. It's a great bridge between W1 and W3.
I strongly disagree. I almost gave up on the second game halfway through. Way too linear and very monotonous. While I can understand why that would be more appealing to some, I personally consider it the worst instalment of the series and that's taking into account the horrendous combat system of the first game.
Why y’all hating triss? God damn you either choose Triss or yen to romance like goodness calm down, I’ve always liked Triss more then Yen but y’all do what y’all wanna do idc

@@xLetalis so many choices, so many outcomes, all are shitty.
If you save triss, you guarantee the nilfgaard victory, pretty much?
My only question is, after all this much fuckery, why would I save shila? Why would I let Letho go?
"I didnt kill you" WEll you damn should have, after all the shlt you dumped on me, you expect not to die?
texteel - Witchers have each other’s backs? Geralt saved Letho pre-game (flashback) and Letho got Yen to safety in Nilfguard. Geralt getting blamed for Foltest’s death was about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Letho did not plan on framing Geralt. Morally speaking Letho is no better or worse than other Witchers. Even the regicides were done for the promise of restoring the school of the Viper...and understandable motive if one is committed to the vocation.
No, if you spare the dragon, she will pull herself out of the tree and live. Iorveth has the dagger so he will eventually do it.
"Dragons are Dragons because humans can't beat them"
You can leave her alone, dragons regenerate faster than humans, and when she pulls herself out of the tree, you can see she still breathes. Thats the least you can do.
What mission is this?
it's if you choose to go after Triss towards the end
triss & Geralt Riva of witcher
After finishing witcher 3 after the next gen update and 100% completion i think im ready to try this game again.
First time i player it i played it on easy and literally did no side quests or much exploration so in this playthrough im thinking of playing on hard but i get mix reviews in people saying its gonna make me mald if i play on hard😅
Jesus Geralt sounds like a robot. "Does not compute...." "My logic is infallible...."
Because he is a witcher
