There are very few video game soundtracks with such an identifiable tone, but you could play any of The Witcher 3’s songs and I’d recognize them immediately. Doug Cockle, the actor who plays the White Wolf, can say literally anything and I will respond with, “Yes, okay, go on, daddy, tell me more, please.” That’s the graph. Geralt of EargasmsĬan I just say that when Geralt of Rivia speaks, I am immediately enthralled. But the only time I ever looked up something was to ensure I got the ending I wanted for the main quest, which required a convoluted number of steps and conditions to be fulfilled. As in real life, I would simply live with the consequences.Īdmittedly, there were only a couple of times where I reloaded to get a different ending because I really messed up. I always went with my gut, and more often than not, things turned out in a way that left a bittersweet satisfaction. However, I never felt the need to do that while playing The Witcher 3. I almost always look up the outcomes online because I’m afraid of getting a bad ending. Seeing someone make decisions in The Witcher 3 can be very telling about their personality and ethics.Īs an indecisive person, it’s difficult for me to make decisions in a video game. Like the real world, there’s no such thing as black and white, and thus, The Witcher challenges your moral code. For the most part, there are several ways a quest can unfold and typically there’s no one ending objectively better than the other (apart from that one very bad overall ending). The beauty about The Witcher 3 is that there’s no A or B choice.
However, when it comes down to significant decisions, your consequences could haunt you for the rest of the game. Geralt of Rivia can be as nice or as sarcastic as you want him to be without altering significant plotlines. The Witcher 3 takes a more reasonable approach. Some games give every decision a consequence while others make all your decisions completely pointless. It’s because each dialogue choice you make can be as significant or insignificant as real life choices. Yes, the storytelling is great, but that’s not why The Witcher 3 is as immersive as it is. But how The Witcher 3 got me to that point was its dialogue choices. It was all thanks to CD Projekt Red’s great writing and storytelling. There are not many games that can incite a rage in me for a fictional character’s benefit. And that’s why I just can’t let this go.” Junior died that night. I’m looking for this woman, ‘cause she’s like a daughter to me. When I did, the Witcher said exactly what I felt in my gut, “Lemme tell you where things stand. With that in mind, I stood in Whoreson Junior’s hideout, surrounded by his victims (you know the scene), and I had to make a choice. I got so invested in this tale, that at some point, I felt like Ciri was my own daughter. When I was on the trail, trying to find Ciri, every choice I made would get me closer or farther away from her. This story is about saving the world, like most epic tales are, but it’s really about a man who supposedly has no emotions trying to save his daughter from a seemingly inevitable fate: Death. CD Projekt Red wrote The Witcher 3 in such a way that I became invested in the characters and in the world as soon as I jumped in. However, the best part about The Witcher 3 is that I didn’t need to know about Yennefer or Ciri’s past with Geralt to know how much they meant to him. That’s a pretty bizarre claim, especially when The Witcher 3 is technically the finale of an incredibly long tale. Yet, many people say you can play The Witcher 3 without playing the other two or even reading the books. Emhyr tasks Geralt with finding Ciri, who is the daughter of the emperor and the last heir to an ancient elvish bloodline, but more importantly, Ciri is technically Geralt’s foster child.Īs someone who never read the books, these turn of events were incredibly confusing, especially because the past two games don’t have Ciri or Yennefer in them. As it turns out, Yennefer escaped the Wild Hunt and is residing in the city of Vizima, aiding Emperor Emhyr.
