**SPOILER ALERT** kinda late but , its sad seeing what will happen to Kaer morhen without uncle Vesemir , it will just rot , no new witchers being trained , just left to decay :/ i wish we could get another expansion where Geralt took the place and somewhat restored it , it would be great (IMO)
It reminds me of the time how I felt guilty of murdering, or rather letting the soldiers execute the poor peasant for burning a hut. Too harsh a punishment or something was the dialogue.
Gets me back to June 2015 when I had the chance to play this. Barely completed White Orchard, I wanted to play TW1 and TW2 before going to TW3 (ended playing just half of TW1. TW3 runs better than both of these...). Then I got to play TW3 all the way from December 2018 through March.
Same my first playthrough was even on deathmarch and it was my first time actually playing the game i didnt even know how to use spells until i discovered quen... such a good time witcher is one of the best games and its the only game that i played so many times that i cant remember how many times i completed it to 100% i love everything about the game every single "?" On the map is special and the DLCs were better than most full games.
I remember thinking that White Orchard was big enough, that the game was going to be split into numerous smaller, areas like the second game. Then I entered Velen, realising that sizeable place I just explored was basically the tutorial... overcome by the vastness of it all, wish I could capture that feeling again.
jomo999 Then you enter skellige, and then you enter the Duchess then you explore the entire plains of those maps.. Vellen/Redenia is extremely big with so much to do
I didn't play the game for 4 years and came back this January after the show on Netflix. The experience was again mesmerizing but a little less powerful as when the game first released.
My first play through was so fun that I started doing everything - I played Gwent and did Treasure Hunter stuff did all the '?' to find better weapons and armour and suddenly the game was over and I've beeten it on a 100% with both DLCs. My second attempt wasn't fun at all I already had seen everything and with everything I mean everything. I started playing different and chose other dialogue options but that always ended up with innocents getting killed or Gerald being a dick wich did not fit the game or my vision of him so Witcher 3 was done for me... I hope that I can play it again in maybe 10 years but since I'm the kind of person who remembers every dialogue from a movie I've seen once 15 years ago I don't think that I'm able to have that much fun ever again wich makes me pretty sad because playing the Witcher 3 was a journey that gave me so much emotion and happiness like nothing else did - I was really alive playing that
Beaten it 6 times. One time was 2 years later where id forgotten everything. I've had my fill now but its still the best game ive ever played. I would highly recommend witcher 1 and 2 as well. Witcher 1 especially. The vibe is just... omg its amazing. Fits really well with the tone of the book. And it has the best music.
It's 4 AM, deep in the night. You should be sleeping, but you're still playing Witcher. Running around the forests and meadows, immersed in the beautiful nature. You turn around and sharp sunlight pierces your eyes. For the next 10 seconds, you just stand there and gaze at the gorgeous sky, rays of sunlight following the edges of clouds like a paintbrush, mixing shades of blue, orange, red and gold. Your life might be a bit of a mess, but in this moment, everything is just perfect and peaceful.
Its such a strange feeling when you come back to White Orchard in the end game. Makes you feel how far you have come since the last time you heard this music.
Very true, depending on your playthrough. On my first one I wound up back in an empty Kaer Morhen with the Kaer Morhen theme playing. Considering everything that happened and all that was lost that theme hit a LOT differently. The emptiness of the keep reflected the emptiness I felt of completing a long adventure. Luckily, I still had Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine to plow through 😃 Edit: grammar, etc.
Coming back to white orchard at the end of the main story on my first play through of 80 hours at 3am in the morning on a school night really hit different. Crazy how nostalgic you can be for something only a few weeks prior. Now 4 years on and it still makes me feel some type of way
My first playthrough I got the bad ending, being overprotective and controlling geralt. This music added a lot to the sad ending of Ciri and especially when geralt died after it. Best ending for me was the sad ending with this music was so captivating.
By the time you finish the game, DLC's and start a new walktrough, this is like a distant, nostalgic memory, that's how big the game is. It doesn't help that it's also a sad piece of music, picturing war, suffering and misery.
-Trying to figure out how to make bombs -Keep getting distracted by the crackling trees -Scary dark clouds makes me think there will be a big raining. -Getting my ass kicked by the ghost at the abandoned village When everything felt new and exciting to experience.
Not just struggling to craft bombs but also not knowing how to refill potions and bombs lol... It was only after killing the griffin that I realized I had to meditate
Perfect song for the tutorial area; the music was one of the things that contributed to me quickly getting hooked, and I knew it was a special game soon after starting.
Just finished the whole game plus DLCS, level 52. Dude... I decided to explore the game again. First thing i did: go back to White Orchard. I simply don't know how to explain the feeling, dude... just felt like... Nostalgia!! I mean... nostalgia from a game i'm just playing??? Weird af
That's the power of a well written history, you got so immersed into the game that you felt evolution of the history and time... Witcher 3 definetly nailed in how to make a masterpiece in game industry.
I will tell you something buddy its polish game and as a polish player you fell the game diffrent than other countries players its because this game have so much polish culture referencess that only polish people know about.
I can't hear this song without instantly being teleported back to 2015... My shitty apartment, police sirens going off outside, trains coming through behind my building late at night. Few responsibilities, no money, firing up Witcher 3 that May in my hot apartment with the broken air conditioning. I had nothing but I was happy regardless. Got to appreciate the little things. Good times.
I might be younger than you ( as I am only 30) or older, but I learned a valuable lesson to have a peaceful mind peaceful life is way better than all materials you can possess, and you are miserable some people might view this as nonsense but for me at least who has been engaged in existential crisis, mental breakdowns, panic attacks for the last 8 years this is really everything to me to have a peaceful life for once and this game provided that sensation!! as I will quote from above comment (You turn around and sharp sunlight pierces your eyes. For the next 10 seconds, you just stand there and gaze at the gorgeous sky, rays of sunlight following the edges of clouds like a paintbrush, mixing shades of blue, orange, red and gold.

Of all the levels... the first one was the one I spent most time with. Running around in white orchard to learn the game, getting scared at the sight of everything moving in the woods and along the river. Consqeuently this song is the one I spent the most time listening to, and the one that reminds me of the game the most :)
omg you got my same thoughts exactly!!! I just starting playing this game and so scared to wonder off into the woods, off the main roads and whenever i heard the sound at 0:55 , I kept zooming the camera around looking on a stray wolf about to attack me! :-D
"Corpses, corpses everywhere.... Look at all that dead grass, just slain like that... Left to rot in the sun. Not much longer now a'fore that happens to me, most like."
I can't even express the emotions I feel when I listen to this melody. I have to cry, because I miss that first experience so much, I want to play, but my PS4 doesn't work anymore and I've got the feeling, I have became a part of this game, and it has became mine...somehow. This sounds crazy, I know, but some of You might relate. :) Have a wonderful life, everyone!!
This music really makes me cry. I love this game so much I can't even explain. And the soundtrack really helps you understand the despair and hopelessness that people of White Orchard feel. And now I feel it too.
Same. That first Witcher contract, investigating the massacre in the village, finding that poor girl hanged in the well... with this music playing it was so melancholy and tragic and utterly mesmerizing. I fell in love with this game right then and there.
I really wanted to request this specific video, having found no White Orchard theme with this quality of editing and length on youtube. Thank you for the upload, Gaming Ambience.
I remember when my cousin first forced me into finally trying this game out. To be honest, I did not have a lot of expectations. I still remember, the first scene when you enter the Inn in White Orchard with Vesemir to find Yen. I hated how the game seemed so dull and depressing. Not going to lie, the first 10-15 hours spent in White Orchard and Velen didn't seem very exciting to me. Yet I pushed on. I reached Novigrad, and that's when the fun began. Lo and behold, before I even realised, I was subconsciously obsessed with the game! I fell in love with the story, the characters, the beautiful gameplay, you name it. Now I wish I could erase all my memory of this game just so I could play it all again from the very beginning, much slower this time. I regret playing through it super fast. Everyone should take as much time as possible to finish this game. Enjoy each and every second. Because my friend, once it's over, a new game replay will never be the same again. Now I've finished all the expansions and I feel empty. The White Orchard reminds me of my days when I used to struggle with the controls. I remember failing to kill the Griffin in White Orchard 5 times on an easy difficulty. Now I can slaughter monsters in DeathMarch with ease. The journey has been tremendously beautiful, my fellow witcher fans. This game has changed the way I see everything. It sets an example as a world class game. Let's be honest, we may be biased, but I feel like there can never be another game better than this in terms of the connection you feel with the story, the characters and the emotional attachment you're left with when you finish the game. I have no words. This game is beautiful. Truly.
Mid-June 2015. My exams were coming to an end. During my exam period I had enough free time to watch TW3 cinematics and gameplay. I got extremely hyped for this game and being a fresh PS4 player I was looking forward to experiencing this game on my brand new console. The day I completed my last exam, I went straight to the store near my house and bought the physical copy of this game. Being 16 and having endless free time because of the Summer Break I was playing this game from 8 in the morning until late in the night with some food breaks in between. I found its mature setting and rich narrative very appealing and got obsessed with it. I was playing this game non stop for a month. Then in June 2016 the same thing happened with the Blood and Wine expansion. Those were some of the best times of my life.
This song is simply Vesemir theme. It perfectly gives us who he is : old, wize witcher, tired after all these years figthing, but also honest, true and determined to help you in whatever you need. He tought you nearly everything, made who you are now, but the time when he was teaching you is gone. Now you feel, that he needs help in some things. I know Vesemir is still badass and he showed that in Kaer Morhen, i just mean Geralt knows, he should take care of him. Like a son, who has grown up, and now needs to take care of his older and weaker father. And exactly about that is this song. It fits great with Vesemir and Geralt adventures. Father and son, hunting together.
Depression, in sound format, but there is a certain beauty to this music while watching the clouds of a storm going by in white orchard. The way Geralt wakes from an initially happy dream at Kaer Morhen to the nightmare that is war unleashed by Emhyr, and this music starts immediately, was really well done.
I got the game in September of 2019 because it was on deal and I'd heard good things about it. I started playing in white orchard, getting scared by every moving thing I met in the woods, getting grans frying pan, helping some lad find his brother. Ahhh the memories
I will tell you something buddy its polish game and as a polish player you fell the game diffrent than other countries players its because this game have so much polish culture referencess that only polish people know about.
The music in this game is an absolute masterpiece. I can't think of any other game where the soundtrack helps set the tone/feeling as well as the Witcher 3 soundtrack does. It really is amazing.
I just finished the main story. Ciri lived and became a Witcher. Now I'm playing Blood and Wine, and hell... I don't want to play anymore, I don't want this masterpiece to finish. How the fuck am I feeling nostalgic for a place that is new to me. And by the way, the Baron quest? Wow.
I was wandering here just for these songs. I always liked tutorial themed places in Witcher, just remember The Witcher 1 and Vizima outskirts... What a beautiful games.
Lord of The Ring’s has the best soundtrack of all movies, Game of Throne’s has the best soundtrack of all TV Shows, and The Witcher 3 has the best soundtrack of all games.
@@Ghaffar_KH you can find them for PC cheap on GOG.com. While the enhanced editions are not exactly remasters, I really recommend them, both are amazing

This makes me cry every time.. such a masterpiece and I am so glad that I chose to stay around to at least play the first part.. I am now done playing it twice.❤⚔️
This melody is so sad and fitting to the poor land just destroyed by war ;(. You're lonely witcher riding on the horse and looking at man's cruelty everywhere nearby. People in the villages are trying to live their lives normally, despite the fact, they are surrounded by monsters in the woods and soldiers of invader, who are destroying their houses, steal their little fortune and raping their women. They are trying to survive, love, find their lost family, get food and earn some shitty money. I feel sorry, but that's exactly how life of majority of the people in the Middle Ages looked like.
My first playthrough was in 2015, I loved this game so much. 5 years later when the pandemic raged in Europe I dived back into this game. I knew the story, a few little details here and there. But I forgot some of the quests (some of which you could remember during the game). As I played through the story of Wild Hunt, I looked forward to the DLC Hearts of Stone, and Blood & Vine. These two DLC I then played for the first time in my life and I was thrilled anew. The game has aged very well and is always fun to play again. I am sure that in 2025 this game will inspire me again - it will surely be at least 150 hours of playtime again!
White Orchard lives up to it’s name. A place where it’s just the beauty but also reality of the world. I remember leaving that place not knowing what things i had yet to see. Part of my soul stays there in peace.
I will tell you something buddy its polish game and as a polish player you fell the game diffrent than other countries players its because this game have so much polish culture referencess that only polish people know about.
This is the best atmospheric soundtrack, along with Kaer Morhen and the Beauclair tracks (for me, obviously). The feeling of Uncertainty, Desolation, and yet a strange calm, as if "All is said and done, we lost., now what?".
It reminds me of the great summer when I started playing witcher and was such a noob. How much would I give to forget all the story and enjoy it like I used to at the beggining :')
Vesemir: Ehh... źle się wojna dla naszych toczy... Geralt: Naszych? Jakich naszych? Vesemir: Królestw Północy Geralt: Chyba "Królestw Radovida" bo Temerii i Kaedwen już nie ma... Jak to piszę to czuję taką nostalgię :'(
Such a peaceful beginning to such an epic adventure. Can't wait for more, especially an hour of "The Hunter's Path", "The Vagabond", "The Fields of Ard Skellig" and some Blood & Wine tracks.
First getting this game in 2015 I was sitting in my ran down chair playing this games listening to this music. I was jaw dropped and at one point stood still for half an hour. In 2021 I listen to Tifas theme from Final Fantasy 7 because it's depressing. just like now.
Going back to white orchard after thinking Ciri is dead and hearing this made me so freaking sad, and then you meet her in the Inn and you basically cry
I think the Witcher Ciri ending is done poetically. Remember, when you find Ciri on the Isle of Mists- we know she isn't dead but Geralt thinks she is. And the beauty of that scene was seeing Geralt hold his daughter and rock her back and forth as he tries to cope with her 'death'. Later, at the end of the game we see Ciri venture through the portal and stumble across the barren tundra before it fades to white. Geralt tells Emyhr that Ciri is dead, we the players, don't know that it's a lie, but Geralt does. Then of course, we find Ciri at the Inn and start tearing up.
First time I played and heard this song I just stopped closed my eyes and let the music take me. I swear I listened for about an hour it was a very beautiful moment.
I remember when i first played that game, it was during my vacations, two weeks off. My friends kept calling me to go out and do some shit. I refused to do anything, just played that game for 2 weeks straight alone at home. Wow ! what an experience ! The best gaming experience of my whole life. I'm sure we aint never gonna get another game as good as it, and it makes me sad.
That game will stay in my heart and mind forever. I regularly come back to these soundtracks, and they make me so sad that i will never experience this game again. Truly a master piece...
The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Assasin's Creed Black Flag, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Forza Horizon are all games that I love much more than any others. I don't know how people can just sit around and play Call of Duty because that stuff gets boring quickly. High-resolution fantasy games with amazing stories are where it's at for me and they should be for you as well.

The song that reminds us when we're still a noob in The Witcher 3. Good times...
When you're doing the pan quest and you still have no idea what you are in for
It reminds me of the time how I felt guilty of murdering, or rather letting the soldiers execute the poor peasant for burning a hut. Too harsh a punishment or something was the dialogue.
And yeah the quest when you feel bad after you let the guards hang the arsonist peasant

Running around in white orchard to learn the game, getting scared at the sight of everything moving in the woods and along the river. Consqeuently this song is the one I spent the most time listening to, and the one that reminds me of the game the most :)
omg you got my same thoughts exactly!!! I just starting playing this game and so scared to wonder off into the woods, off the main roads and whenever i heard the sound at 0:55 , I kept zooming the camera around looking on a stray wolf about to attack me! :-D
"So many corpses, and the wars just started" I remember the first time I saw the white orchard battlefield. Man that's soo gruesome
entire life is The Witcher 3
and I'm the guy on 53:51
lol
easily one of the best comments
Everytime you try to leave something keeps pullin you back you back
just the type of comment i was looking for
seems the bush won't let u go lol
mowing the lawn hits different when this is playing in the headphones haha
lol awesome
LMAO
"Corpses, corpses everywhere.... Look at all that dead grass, just slain like that... Left to rot in the sun. Not much longer now a'fore that happens to me, most like."
Don't forget to destroy monster nests in the lawn.
I can't even express the emotions I feel when I listen to this melody. I have to cry, because I miss that first experience so much, I want to play, but my PS4 doesn't work anymore and I've got the feeling, I have became a part of this game, and it has became mine...somehow. This sounds crazy, I know, but some of You might relate. :)
Have a wonderful life, everyone!!
This music really makes me cry. I love this game so much I can't even explain. And the soundtrack really helps you understand the despair and hopelessness that people of White Orchard feel. And now I feel it too.
This soundtrack is amazing and now listening to this it feels so nostalgic and sad. The beginning of an awesome journey
Feel you brother
Same. That first Witcher contract, investigating the massacre in the village, finding that poor girl hanged in the well... with this music playing it was so melancholy and tragic and utterly mesmerizing. I fell in love with this game right then and there.
@@madaxe606 Wasn't the massacre in the village in Velen?
The deep string melody at 3:23 always hits me in the feels
Is that little melody sound from Dying Light ?
@@albertwesker2316 it's the theme you get when you unlock a safe house.

I remember when my cousin first forced me into finally trying this game out. To be honest, I did not have a lot of expectations. I still remember, the first scene when you enter the Inn in White Orchard with Vesemir to find Yen. I hated how the game seemed so dull and depressing. Not going to lie, the first 10-15 hours spent in White Orchard and Velen didn't seem very exciting to me. Yet I pushed on. I reached Novigrad, and that's when the fun began. Lo and behold, before I even realised, I was subconsciously obsessed with the game! I fell in love with the story, the characters, the beautiful gameplay, you name it. Now I wish I could erase all my memory of this game just so I could play it all again from the very beginning, much slower this time. I regret playing through it super fast. Everyone should take as much time as possible to finish this game. Enjoy each and every second. Because my friend, once it's over, a new game replay will never be the same again. Now I've finished all the expansions and I feel empty. The White Orchard reminds me of my days when I used to struggle with the controls. I remember failing to kill the Griffin in White Orchard 5 times on an easy difficulty. Now I can slaughter monsters in DeathMarch with ease. The journey has been tremendously beautiful, my fellow witcher fans. This game has changed the way I see everything. It sets an example as a world class game. Let's be honest, we may be biased, but I feel like there can never be another game better than this in terms of the connection you feel with the story, the characters and the emotional attachment you're left with when you finish the game. I have no words. This game is beautiful. Truly.
Mid-June 2015. My exams were coming to an end. During my exam period I had enough free time to watch TW3 cinematics and gameplay. I got extremely hyped for this game and being a fresh PS4 player I was looking forward to experiencing this game on my brand new console. The day I completed my last exam, I went straight to the store near my house and bought the physical copy of this game. Being 16 and having endless free time because of the Summer Break I was playing this game from 8 in the morning until late in the night with some food breaks in between. I found its mature setting and rich narrative very appealing and got obsessed with it. I was playing this game non stop for a month. Then in June 2016 the same thing happened with the Blood and Wine expansion. Those were some of the best times of my life.
This song is simply Vesemir theme. It perfectly gives us who he is : old, wize witcher, tired after all these years figthing, but also honest, true and determined to help you in whatever you need. He tought you nearly everything, made who you are now, but the time when he was teaching you is gone. Now you feel, that he needs help in some things. I know Vesemir is still badass and he showed that in Kaer Morhen, i just mean Geralt knows, he should take care of him. Like a son, who has grown up, and now needs to take care of his older and weaker father. And exactly about that is this song. It fits great with Vesemir and Geralt adventures. Father and son, hunting together.
Spoiler alert
Vesemir dies
@@pham3383 spoil alert
At this point 5 years later, we already know
And his death teaches us that the fight never ends, no matter how tired we are, and how grueling it has been, life goes on
Depression, in sound format, but there is a certain beauty to this music while watching the clouds of a storm going by in white orchard.
The way Geralt wakes from an initially happy dream at Kaer Morhen to the nightmare that is war unleashed by Emhyr, and this music starts immediately, was really well done.
0:15 For whatever reason whenever I heard this part I knew instantly this is would be a nostalgic song I'd come back to in the future
I got the game in September of 2019 because it was on deal and I'd heard good things about it. I started playing in white orchard, getting scared by every moving thing I met in the woods, getting grans frying pan, helping some lad find his brother. Ahhh the memories
Yeah that was the beginning of great adventure in my country. Poland still looks like that white orchard in many places💪🏻
Goddamn I miss my first playthrough.
I will tell you something buddy its polish game and as a polish player you fell the game diffrent than other countries players its because this game have so much polish culture referencess that only polish people know about.

The music in this game is an absolute masterpiece. I can't think of any other game where the soundtrack helps set the tone/feeling as well as the Witcher 3 soundtrack does. It really is amazing.
I just finished the main story. Ciri lived and became a Witcher. Now I'm playing Blood and Wine, and hell... I don't want to play anymore, I don't want this masterpiece to finish.
How the fuck am I feeling nostalgic for a place that is new to me. And by the way, the Baron quest? Wow.
Baron quest was the Best in the game.
But overall - Hearts of Stone had the greatest story from both expansions and Wild Hunt.
Looks like rain ...
Wind howling
this music always reminds me of my first playthrough, the first time I “entered” this universe. one of the happiest moments of my life
I regret that I did not stay in this location any longer...
well.. you can always come back
plmingurata you know that geralt can teleport right? I mean fast travel put the map and travel there
SIMMMMPLEEEE...
I was wandering here just for these songs. I always liked tutorial themed places in Witcher, just remember The Witcher 1 and Vizima outskirts... What a beautiful games.
It's nice to know that not only I noticed the similarity of this ambient with The Witcher 1
@@dasfintan What a coincidence! My favourite adventure game has a character called Fintan in Atlantis 2.

"Medallion's humming..a place of power it gotta be...."
The vibe when you finish the game and the dlcs and then go back to this place and hear this soundtrack is amazing
This is one of the best tw soundtracks for reading witcher books.
Tested and approved!
I platinumed this game yesterday after 6 years. It was an emotional moment for sure.
And i just started playing a month ago 😂😂
Lord of The Ring’s has the best soundtrack of all movies, Game of Throne’s has the best soundtrack of all TV Shows, and The Witcher 3 has the best soundtrack of all games.
Agreed bro
@Ms_Blanc I never got a chance to play the first two, I hope they get remastered.
@@Ghaffar_KH you can find them for PC cheap on GOG.com. While the enhanced editions are not exactly remasters, I really recommend them, both are amazing
@@ctriforce4743 Really wish I could but, I don't own a PC, unfortunately.
Totally agreed
Almost 5 years since I had the amazing experience of playing this game, time sure goes by fast.
I still haven't finished. Refuse to do so. Go back to it every few months.

''I'm looking for a woman, dark hair, smells of lilac and gooseberries.''
This will always bring me huge nostalgia mixed with a feeling I cant really describe... But its a good feeling. Sad a little but good.
i remember when I first started playing how vast the content was, everything was new to me, even geralt himself creeped me out at the beginning
I love the first song. This song was in the first moments of game and when i ended there was same moments, same location.
🇵🇱
This probably was the intention
This makes me cry every time.. such a masterpiece and I am so glad that I chose to stay around to at least play the first part.. I am now done playing it twice.❤⚔️
Oh boy you have emotional issues ay
"Goidemar?"
"It's Dervan now. D-E-R-V-A-N."
For some strange reason, the first song always reminds me of that hiccuping kid lol.
How could you NOT like this....someone answer me now! I'm waiting....
This melody is so sad and fitting to the poor land just destroyed by war ;(. You're lonely witcher riding on the horse and looking at man's cruelty everywhere nearby. People in the villages are trying to live their lives normally, despite the fact, they are surrounded by monsters in the woods and soldiers of invader, who are destroying their houses, steal their little fortune and raping their women. They are trying to survive,
love, find their lost family, get food and earn some shitty money. I feel sorry, but that's exactly how life of majority of the people in the Middle Ages looked like.
Some people don't realise how important this video actually is... Thank you
Thank you for this extended mix, it's such a beautiful song.
My first playthrough was in 2015, I loved this game so much. 5 years later when the pandemic raged in Europe I dived back into this game.
I knew the story, a few little details here and there. But I forgot some of the quests (some of which you could remember during the game).
As I played through the story of Wild Hunt, I looked forward to the DLC Hearts of Stone, and Blood & Vine. These two DLC I then played for the first time in my life and I was thrilled anew.
The game has aged very well and is always fun to play again. I am sure that in 2025 this game will inspire me again - it will surely be at least 150 hours of playtime again!
Ahhhhhhh.... the music put's a hole in my heart just let me cry i just went down the memory lane 😭😭❤️
Same here
White Orchard lives up to it’s name. A place where it’s just the beauty but also reality of the world. I remember leaving that place not knowing what things i had yet to see. Part of my soul stays there in peace.
So many callbacks to River of Life from the first The Witcher title, love it.
The horn in this song makes it sorrowful and sad since the place is war-torn, but hey, what part of the world in the Witcher isn't war-torn.
Legendary game with a legendary soundtrack!
I will tell you something buddy its polish game and as a polish player you fell the game diffrent than other countries players its because this game have so much polish culture referencess that only polish people know about.
Hey, I know that windmill! I fought a big bird there.
I also tried to get into it for hours and hours. 😂
@TheEsotericZebra no the first monster is the wraith
@@Blackhawk211 Isn't the noonwraith a sidequest?
@@zephyr9949 considering the Griffin is the last quest in the tutorial area before you are taken away means that side quests inevitably come first
I listen to this whenever i wanna remember papa vesemir,
Rest in peace.
Why did u spoil me 😡
So glad I read this after the battle of Kaer Moren 😅😅😅😅
So gritty.
Sounds like cold, suffering, and misery, with the faintest hints of hope and resilience.
This is the best atmospheric soundtrack, along with Kaer Morhen and the Beauclair tracks (for me, obviously). The feeling of Uncertainty, Desolation, and yet a strange calm, as if "All is said and done, we lost., now what?".
Wind’s howling
It reminds me of the great summer when I started playing witcher and was such a noob. How much would I give to forget all the story and enjoy it like I used to at the beggining :')
Geralt: "griffins like to play with their toy. Eat it, alive, piece by piece"
Merchant: "uhhhuh"
I wish I can be happy again.... Playing the witcher at late raining nights, eating chips and drinking soda
The good times mate, same here, but I think better times will come, and we will enjoy Witcher 3 again
witcher 3 has the best soundtrack of all games in my opinion
It's good, Fallout 3 is my favorite
Vesemir: Ehh... źle się wojna dla naszych toczy...
Geralt: Naszych? Jakich naszych?
Vesemir: Królestw Północy
Geralt: Chyba "Królestw Radovida" bo Temerii i Kaedwen już nie ma...
Jak to piszę to czuję taką nostalgię :'(
@@luvinspash It's a quote. I only know Polish version, sorry :D
When this video was posted i didn't even heard about the witcher, 3 months later i spent all days through tw1, 2, 3, best 2 months of gaming ever.
Such a peaceful beginning to such an epic adventure. Can't wait for more, especially an hour of "The Hunter's Path", "The Vagabond", "The Fields of Ard Skellig" and some Blood & Wine tracks.
I just love to scroll down through the comments. I can relate with so many of them!
Criminal that this wasn't on the soundtrack.
First getting this game in 2015 I was sitting in my ran down chair playing this games listening to this music. I was jaw dropped and at one point stood still for half an hour. In 2021 I listen to Tifas theme from Final Fantasy 7 because it's depressing. just like now.
jesus just look at this, how CDPR wen't down it's unbeliveble
Greed makes unbelievable stuff happen!
Going back to white orchard after thinking Ciri is dead and hearing this made me so freaking sad, and then you meet her in the Inn and you basically cry
I think the Witcher Ciri ending is done poetically. Remember, when you find Ciri on the Isle of Mists- we know she isn't dead but Geralt thinks she is. And the beauty of that scene was seeing Geralt hold his daughter and rock her back and forth as he tries to cope with her 'death'. Later, at the end of the game we see Ciri venture through the portal and stumble across the barren tundra before it fades to white. Geralt tells Emyhr that Ciri is dead, we the players, don't know that it's a lie, but Geralt does. Then of course, we find Ciri at the Inn and start tearing up.
@@Wejster I never found anyone in the tavern...
Just finished this masterpiece, again. It was my 5th playthrough. And, as a tradition I always go back to White Orchard, it feels unique...
Read all the comments of Geralt's saying with Geralt voice in my head, and I love this feeling...
Listening to this at dawn after a rough night, just walking around having a few drinks and then a smoke. It fits so damn well.
I’ll have to try that sometime
@@jamesbundren3762 Going on the 3rd time now, definitely a good investment 😁👌
That windmill scene looks so realistic.
This fanbase shall never die, my fellow witchers❤️
First time I played and heard this song I just stopped closed my eyes and let the music take me. I swear I listened for about an hour it was a very beautiful moment.
I remember when i first played that game, it was during my vacations, two weeks off. My friends kept calling me to go out and do some shit. I refused to do anything, just played that game for 2 weeks straight alone at home. Wow ! what an experience ! The best gaming experience of my whole life. I'm sure we aint never gonna get another game as good as it, and it makes me sad.
That game will stay in my heart and mind forever. I regularly come back to these soundtracks, and they make me so sad that i will never experience this game again. Truly a master piece...
The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Assasin's Creed Black Flag, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Forza Horizon are all games that I love much more than any others. I don't know how people can just sit around and play Call of Duty because that stuff gets boring quickly. High-resolution fantasy games with amazing stories are where it's at for me and they should be for you as well.
