I stumbled upon your Witcher 3 journey by chance. As a Witcher fan since 25 years, and especially The Witcher 3 (since 2015, best gift ever!) I love to watch you enjoy and explore this one for the first time. It obviously still is a lovely, lovely game, and I'm glad you're having fun with it!
Oh, and one addition (I had to split watching the video due to time issues, so I'm just coming back to it). Delighted to see you took on one of the favorite quests of many players, "Following the Thread" (aka the Karadin Quest). This one produced one of the favorite non-canon pairings in fanfiction - only by mentioning a character. :)
You are about to find one my favorite characters! And admire his art of talking...
He was one of the guys the pan lady was talking about
What you said about mechanics is dead ass true. Higher difficulties force you into alchemy and shit like that. This game is deep if you want it to be
52:39 nice play with the decoy, you clearly know your gwent bro
Against those enemies who use monsters deck you can put 2 or 3 frostbite cards in your deck
Most decks have a counter.
Good for you! The books are set 20+ to 5 years before the games and, obviously, add a LOT to the lore. 'Last Wish' first, as you're doing, then 'Sword of Destiny', the other book of short stories. The standalone novel 'Season of Storms' can be read next or skipped (being standalone it doesn't affect much else), then there's the main 5-novel saga, starting with 'Blood of Elves'. Sapkowski's just released a new novel too but it's only available in Polish at the moment.
Since you're reading now it would be spoilers to give you my literary analysis of Triss and Yenn as characters. Wish you'd romanced both though, for the game.
@@Anti_Woke I was thinking of romancing both but heard you end up losing them both in the process..
@@JxStn. Yeah, but funny ending, and there are other women! [Without spoilers neither Yenn nor Triss is in the books that much, and neither is the love of Geralt's life].
@@JxStn. thats true so you should be careful with romancing both 😭
@ I’ll have to save that for another playthrough!
@@JxStn. you need at least 3 to cover 'biggest choices':
- romancing: triss/yen/both
-ruler of skellige: cerys/hjalmar/svanrige
-radowid assasination: no / yes, but ? / yes but ? (I'm curious which one you will get on this playthrough xD)
-ciri's fate: ?/?/? (come on I will not spoiler :D)
of course I talk about final effects, dozens of quests have multiple options to choose meanwhile :'D
One thing to remember in the sewers, loot as much as possible, you can find some awesome stuff down there in the most random places.
@@UpstateofMind2324 yeah I definitely loot everything I usually just cut out most of it unless I find something interesting ofc
First of all - congrats on picking up the books, they are truly amazing (and will give you a whole new level of appreciation for the games).
Also great choice with changning the difficulty, your fights finally have some stakes and you are checking the bestiary (maybe try to craft some more potions, oils and bombs; also check the decoctions, some of them have very cool effects).
Hero cards are universal, you can add them to any deck.
While fighting on a horseback - don't tap the attack button, hold it (the time will slow down and you'll be able to realease the strike at the right moment).
"A" that you got the letter from is Alvin - a character from "The Witcher 1". He was a source (a person born with powerful but hard to control magical abilities) and most likely traveled through time and space to warn you about The White Frost (I'm gonna stop here, no spoilers)
Hi bro thats was nice! I also picked up the books after playing the game because I liked the universe so much, you'll see the books are all excellent! just like the game
3:50 - Difference to Yennefer - she would abandon everyone and everything (except Ciri and while in good mood Geralt, rest? They may rot in hell unless they are useful for unicorn lady) :)
8:10 well - you may save them both, you may save only one orrr you may let witchhunters slew pair - depend on what happen you will get different conversation, bad luck this time, next time you will get it! :D
8:55 this note help you enter whoreson junior arena, it's been there from last x-episodes :'D
14:40 Triss in books is really minor character, small insecure girl , time to time scared, other time intimidated, madly in love with Geralt who see noone other then Yen... while rest of mages have their character and personality really strong and defined in the books she is like "sabrina teen witch" in comparison. She get her character development in last chapters of last book and then in appendices to it but... it's far too late for people who not read carefully to notice so they still think on her like on the start of book saga. Games (in W1 and W2 you have triss but no yennefer) picked up from that end of books and continued her development till she became full fledged romance option... but not everyone read books to the end carefully, not everyone played all games, so yea... most people prefer self centered bitc... ekhm, yen :) #TrissTeam
27:20 Romancing both give you one very... unique and funny quest :'D
1:21:20 Refference to Witcher 1
Kings Gambit - you ruuuushed, next time take a look around - you are able to talk to some folks on that place before you meet Birna... and even win something nice on fistfight :D Also each of three options: Cerys/Hialmar/None bring you one of different epilogue on the end of game :D Aaaaalso... if you go with Hjalmar you will undercover other side of berserker's story - replay replay later on :D PS: You may find Birna's body later on locked to the rock on Skellige ;)
You met Lambert in the game's prologue at Kaer Morhen, alongside Eskel and Vesemir. You can revisit your first episode-they are all there. Also, I'm very happy that you're getting into the books! Personally, I never read books after playing a game, but The Witcher books were the first ones.
@@Bloczek7940 So much has happened since the first episode I completely forgot! 😂 I’m excited for the books i feel like it’ll add to the overall experience:)
W for choosing Cerys
Bro got letho back at the house. Literally the assasin of kings😅
omg literally favourite time of the day hahahha, thank you! And Im so hyped for you to start reading! Its amazing, I hope you are going to enjoy it just as much as the game :)) Cant wait to hear about your opinion on it! Btw the quest you did "Message from an Old Friend" is just a reference to a character from Witcher 1, thats why its just a short note
@izakbs5325 I usually get so impatient when it comes to reading 😅 but for this story I’m sure It’ll hook me immediately :)
@JxStn. So excited for you!
I wonder if the fight against the tailor Durden is a fight club reference (Tyler Durden)
nice video :)
59:05 Tip: Stash the picture from Millie. [Tiny Spoiler] There will later be somewhere to display your favourite souvenirs.
1:21:20 Letter in book = W1 reference. 'A' had similar powers to Ciri but 'failed'.
1:26:30 Lambert (and Eskel) were training in Kaer Morhen during your tutorial 'dream' right at the start of the game.
2:29:40 You can find Birna, dead and chained to a rock as sentenced, off the coast West of Farylund.
I was watching your combat and wondering why you aren't usinf White Raffard's Decoction since it restores health faster when low and immediately a find Superior White Raffards diagram. I'd use that.
Also, nice play with the Decoy card on Gwent. I'd also set your cards to the minimum of 22. It increases your chances of getting your best cards a bit.
Long one today. Let’s go!
I just started reading the last wish book. I like it so far!
A key to knowing the order of the game ( even though their are multiple ways ) is look at the quests numbers and do those by order
Try to get Thalers gwent card.
1st time I seen Berthold and Anisse die. ever lol. If you romanced both Triss and Yen you would lose both but would have triggered a funny interaction with them
Yea me too 🤣I didn't knew you can let both die, Berthold and Anisse and Olivier.
I really hope that you play the DLC's as well. Please tell me that you're gonna play the DLC's!
@@arwenpond I’ll be making videos on the DLC’s immediately after finishing up the main game!!!
You should have an icecard to play against Monsters!!
don't read if u don't want to get spoiled. spoiler alert, spoiler alert, Lambert will need your help when he gets attacked and overwhelmed at some point. RUN to save him at all cost. you won't regret it
So the game doesnt make it clear but in terms of Dijkstra plotting against Radovid for his assassination it isnt done yet, it actually breaks off into another quest called reasons of state. In order to complete killing Radovid you have to do this quest which can only be unlocked 2 ways. 1 way is completing all 3 assassin quests (A Deadly Plot, An Eye for an Eye, and Redania's Most Wanted quest) however the other way is just by completing A Deadly Plot quest and then bribing Dijkstra instead of breaking his leg at the end of Blindingly Obvious quest. If you fail to do either of them 2 options then you won't get the chance to do the reason of state quest and Radovid will remain king. Just thought I'd give ya a heads up since the game doesn't exactly let you know. Many do thr deadly plot quest and thinks thats it and Radovid will die, this isnt the case though.
@@I-Am-Batman_1988 I appreciate the head ups! This game seems like it was designed to be played multiple times because there’s so many quests and no hints that they will fail if you don’t do specific things lol
I was trying to remember the name of this channel on other device, i failed lol.
you have a scorch, yet you keep playing the highest pt unit??
discard lvl 5 cards for chance at another spy. Lowest unit you have is 5, so whats the harm in trying.
Agreed. Points on the board is useful but better to draw into cards that do something, like double up the seize row of decoy an opponents spy or just slam down a load of uninteractable points.
Your music is a bit loud!
@@hy-drenalin8211 sorry about that! I didn’t see an issue on my end but I’ll have to adjust thanks for letting me know
