What’s great about “wild hunt” is that I read the novels AFTER playing the game, and I had no idea how much lore was packed into the game. The books gave me a deeper appreciation for the game.
The idea of Witchers not having emotions is propaganda by those who fear them. If you study what Witchers go through to become Witchers and to ply their trade, the “lack of emotion” is really the product to PTSD. Is how they emotionally adapt to the horrors they’ve experienced and that they have to deal with once on the path.
Was about to start Witcher 3: Wild hunt myself and did not know the backstory as I haven't played any Witcher game ever either. This video explained and helped me alot. Thank you so much!
The only video I found that actually made everything really understandable for me. I love that your summaries of the games aren't overwhelmingly detailed to the point where nothing makes sense. Other videos gave way too much information for a brief summary to stay coherent. Really appreciate ur work thanks a lot
Cookie, this video was amazing. I went into Witcher 3 with zero info. After 10hrs of gameplay, I came across this video, so now I am more immersed into my gameplay.
Thanks for this. I am starting this game today and know it will be a long time before it is completed. I only get to play 2-5 hours a week. Very helpful, thanks again.
thank you so much for this, especially for not speaking or explaining too fast- i've looked for other recaps and english not being my first language, i sometimes get lost or confused through them cause they tend to sound hurried but i managed to understand all of this perfectly :) you're great!
why not listen to recaps in my own language you might ask yourself uhhh... i like playing videogames in english. 🫡 that's all really, so i look for recap stuff in the same language
I am going through the comments to see if anyone appreciated the " Fire nation avatar joke " as much as i did . Didn't find a comment though so i think that i am obliged to drop one myself . Thank you for brightening my day, i bursted out laughing .
If anyone needs a giggle, "Jaskier" does not translate to English as "Dandelion"...that was a call made when the novels were translated. Jaskier's name translates as... Buttercup.
I think there’s something weird in the translation, or it isn’t completely direct because Jaskier also translates to Rittersporn in German, which translated again into English is Delphinum, which is another small Yellow flower.
What a gem of a video to stumple on, i was just going to replay the game, and i never knew much about the lore from the first games. This was wery informative and good story telling :)
Thank you for this! I bought the complete edition a year or two ago, tried to get started once, and I just couldn’t cause I don’t understand anything going on lol. Now I’m gonna go start it up 😁
This helps loads. Ive been trying Witcher 3 on and off for years but never gotten into a proper groove Gonna give it a fairer shot over this holliday break and see if I cant get invested at last. Some backstory really helps
Thank you for this. I started playing the Witcher 3 but have only watched the shows. I’ve get super confused during the game so I’m excited to give this a watch and feel more caught up
Really enjoyed the video, but wish you'd make a video discussing some of the choices in the games. Or go with the choices that make up the Witcher 3 non imported save, like letting Letho live
Nice vid :) Though I do wanna point out Geralt regaining his memories (flashbacks) is also very relevant to W3, arguably the most important. Also the Letho battle is totally optional and you can forgive him, which is most likely what book Geralt would do considering the circumstances. Good research in any case!
First time Witcher player here! Started today and I was like, maaaaybe I should learn the backstory before this game. This video did just that, thanks!
Never liked witcher franchise but i'll definitely watch this one, as the previous vids of this channel are very nice thanks to the excellent narrator and storytelling
The realities aren’t infinite, or parallel in the sense of ‘multiple almost identical universes’ like something in marvel. There are many worlds, but not in the ‘Geralt from a different universe’.
@@storieswithcookie not to intrude and merely asking, have you got any social media that's affiliated to ur channel? Like a promoting insta page or twitted?
The best part is they are making a complete remake of the first f2 games by combining them I believe and making it a full open world rpg like the Witcher 3
Our focus for this video was to not spoil anything. There is a section on her in our other video at the time stamp 2:25-6:10 but beware of spoilers: ua-cam.com/video/rYK3lJz5Ioo/v-deo.html
@@storieswithcookie Yes, i undertand, but i think a brief background story about her would be goos since the 3rd game is all about her.Theres olenty pf usefull info you could give w/o mentioning the 3rd game at all, since to me, thats the most confusing plot point I finished the game like 6 years ago and needed a refresh Thanks
Yeah, was looking for the latest news on the upcoming TW1 remake so your vid appeared. Cool info, but it makes me wonder how (and why) many people jumps first and rigth into a game leveled with the number 3 on it and based on a books series? Granted, books aren't a mandatory thing, but games should be a must🤷♂️😒
Watch a summary of all the Witcher books here! ua-cam.com/video/4I1D1YLpe58/v-deo.html
I just bought the Witcher 3 Complete Edition with no knowledge of any Witcher stuff and this video really helped me, thanks!
Amazing, glad to hear!
did you enjoyed the game?
Welcome to an amazing immersive world. I was the exact same. I never heard of it until I played it and have been a fan ever since.
Yeah I loved it!@@Supahotfyah
Thanks! I'll think I'll also play Witcher 2 soon!@@nickbriggs8059

The games gave me a deeper appreciation for the books
@chrisd6287 the ideal outcome of an adaption is that each medium elevates the other

Yes, I think you are the first person to comment on the fire nation joke 😂 glad you enjoyed it!
Hahah yes!! I cracked up at that. Love the reference.
I instantly subbed the moment I heard it.
Haha, thats funny...I wuz just about to write one...I wuz gunna go with "the last broom-bender"
I looked for this exact comment 🤣
your chapter header for when witcher 2 recap begins is at the wrong time
If anyone needs a giggle, "Jaskier" does not translate to English as "Dandelion"...that was a call made when the novels were translated. Jaskier's name translates as...
Buttercup.

I really appreciate it to have watched your video before actually playing the witcher 3: wild hunt game
Happy to hear! 😄
Really enjoyed the video, but wish you'd make a video discussing some of the choices in the games. Or go with the choices that make up the Witcher 3 non imported save, like letting Letho live
Great idea for a follow up video!
The Avatar joke had me cracking up 😂
Yay glad you caught it! 😂
Eskel was actually also a survivor from his era. They participated in the trials together
very informative and well done! thanks! 👍
❤️
Great work!

just started playing the games and this is the only recap that I actually understood
Woohoo, glad it was easy to understand 🥳 have an awesome playthrough!
I found the Witcher books at a local book event and found more on audible, i downloaded the Witcher 3 to play along side!
That’s awesome! Enjoy 🥳
Great job! This is much appreciated 👍🏻
Aw thanks! 😊
Can’t wait to play I played the trial and got so far but I didn’t quite understand but after watching this I’m more educated in the lore !
Yay glad you enjoyed the video. Have an awesome playthrough 😊
Hey great video! Super clear and love the pacing, you could cut the lengthy gameplay bits but that is ofc just my preference :)
Thank you!! We appreciate your opinion ❤️❤️
0:40 very funny. Perfect video for me! Just gonna start W3!
Perfect! Hope you have an awesome playthrough
I just started playing the Witcher 3.
Basically I'm a minute into this video and after your "The Fire Nation..." joke I just clicked Subscribe haha
Haha thank you!! ❤️❤️
great recap!
Thank you ❤️🍪

Never liked witcher franchise but i'll definitely watch this one, as the previous vids of this channel are very nice thanks to the excellent narrator and storytelling
Yeah, the narrator has a wonderful voice. I could listen to them, say, on a daily basis.
@@dethuponu4177 I know what you mean
Appreciate you being here and supporting even if it’s not your fave game 🙂
@@storieswithcookie I WAS partial to DBD and Destiny 2. My playmate disappeared on me though.
Thank you for your great video
Thank you for watching and for the sweet comment 😊
Thank you, this helps so much
Yay you’re welcome ❤️
perfect vid i needed
Aw thank you!

Awesome work
Thank you 😊❤️🍪
Who's here after the Witcher 4 trailer?
❤️
Lol ur way of putting things out clearly for your audience is just MESMERIZING, or beWITCHING haha. Great video and it really helped!!
You are too kind 😊 so glad it helped! ❤️
@@storieswithcookie not to intrude and merely asking, have you got any social media that's affiliated to ur channel? Like a promoting insta page or twitted?
Bruh and where is Ciri
You start the 3 having some relation to her and I was hoping to see why and how
Started today very helpfull 😮
Awesome, have a great playthrough! ❤️
It kind of skips at 10:30
After several years the video received a copyright strike, so I had to cut out a portion 😅
This was perfect bc I haven’t played the first two games . Thanks for making this 🎉
Aw glad to hear it was helpful!
Me watching this video because I don't know anything about The Witcher and I'm starting by The Witcher 3. 🙂
I got you! 😊
Same here lol
The best part is they are making a complete remake of the first f2 games by combining them I believe and making it a full open world rpg like the Witcher 3
Yeah can’t wait to play them!
Wow this was good, thank you!
Glad you liked it! ❤️❤️
just bought witcher three
thanks!😭
That’s great, have an awesome playthrough! 😊
I always had to let my boy letho live lol it makes a for a kool encounter in witcher 3 as well
Very good point!
Any video back story all character 1 , 2 and 3 like a movie. 😅
Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed the video! ❤️
22:50 is that Aerondight?
grabbed a cookie 😉🍪
That’s the only way 😏
JUST PERFECT 😂😊❤
Wait so who is ciri?
Thanks
Makes me feel a bit worse for saving Letho in that sidequest in TW3, after learning about the backstory now 😂
😂
amazing
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
Watching this now after bugging the witcher looking forward to watching this rn
Witcher buggery….
How much are we expected to know about Ciri? Just started playing and feel like I should know more than the game let's on
I'm going to watch this and then buy the witcher 3 i always heard great things about the game but dont want to play 1 and 2 so thank u very much king
That’s awesome! It’s a great game, highly recommend. Hope you have a great playthrough 😁
I subscribed to this fair lady, she seems quiet informative😆
You are too nice, thank you and welcome aboard! 😊
This all changed however when the fire nation 😭
Glad you caught that 😂
For those wondering, watch in 2x speed
he looks more like sekiro in the 2nd game than sekiro himself
Yenefer Mother were not half Elf. She had her with Elf. This father who sold her were not his real Father.
cookies and hot chocolate. can't agree more😅
Yay, you’ve come to the cookie side 🍪😎
holy based, this is the video i was looking for
Thank you that’s great to hear 😄❤️🍪
First! 🍪
Wait, why do I have a number after my name? WTF is this?
Woot woot, you get 🍪 🍪
So if Withchers can see in the dark with their cat eyes why do I have to drink cat potion to see in the dark? Lol
Good point 😂
Wait so the witchers are like Spartans from halo but just with magic instead of technology
Pretty much 😂
ehhh, I should have watched this. I ended up having letho in my run xD
It happens 😂
Geralt rode with the wild hunt in the past. None of this backstory is in this video
I dont get why gerald killed the kingslayer
Jaime Lannister?
maybe ull find out if u play the game
You don't have to kill him. It's a player choice and you can forgive him. Geralt, based on his personality in the books, would forgive him too.
When the fire nati...😂
What about Ciri?
