Thanks guys, I'll keep posting them as my journey continues
And yes, please Flat, post those pictures about nature and all those small things we believe as important as the battle scenes!

Meanwhile, it seems that CD Projekt Red really are going to release a standalone version of Gwent.
Apparently this will be its own executable that includes a standalone campaign for obtaining cards (set in the world of The Witcher), as well as an online mode for playing against humans.
I'm not too interested personally in that latter part. But I am curious to see how the whole thing plays out.
Maybe if Gwent is really successful, EA will do something similar for Pazaak from Knights of the Old Republic.

It really does -- rather like a cross between idealized versions of southern France and Italy. I've been taking postcard pictures ; I'll see if I can't post a few soon.Cornflakes_91 wrote:well, Toussant definitely looks nice

Re: The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
Well, haven't played the Witcher 3 yet (making myself finish the first two before I get it ) but given my fondness of card games I've signed up for the beta of Gwent as soon as gog sent the mail.
And what I read in this RPS article makes me even more interested:
And what I read in this RPS article makes me even more interested:
cause that's the kind of card game I would want to make if I had the time and skillan isometric open world in which the player character gathers companions, collects objects and treks around completing quests. All of the elements, those characters and objects, become cards in your deck, and when battle commences, the game of Gwent becomes a depiction of that battle.
Warning: do not ask about physics unless you really want to know about physics.

The quest descriptions in the Journal seem OK; it was just the text from the notice board that was still in CDPR's home language. They even prefixed it with "[PL]" as a note to someone to translate it.
Oops.
And here are some of those "postcard" screenshots I've taken. Nothing too spoilery that I'm aware of in this batch, but caveat emptor.

Never had any problems with that, german translation of the witcher is generally better, though.Flatfingers wrote: So far (in the "Blood and Wine" DLC) I've seen three different quest descriptions on notice boards that didn't get localized to English.

Re: The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
I've now finished the Blood & Wine DLC. The ending is pretty intense, especially if one -- for some reason -- chooses the darker, more "realistic," and less-unicorny path (which also happens to be the non-coital path, for those interested in this aspect of Witcheriness).
The final scene of the Blood & Wine DLC is actually quite poignant for gamers who've played since the original game was released. Geralt's last official moment seems to be a fond farewell from the developers themselves.
It's hard to imagine replaying The Witcher 3. It's enormous, and I feel like I've done everything there is to do and seen everything there is to see. Plus I "worked" so assiduously to level up Geralt that the thought of losing all that progress feels wrong somehow.
But even if I don't restart, I suspect I probably will revisit TW3. It's an extraordinarily well-realized world, and sometimes it's very satisfying to just putter around in such a place.

Re: The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
I regret to say I haven't done anything in the game except for the introduction. I'm having a real tussle with myself trying to get my head out of the modded Skyrim game. I know it will be another obsession when I turn my attention to it.

I don't think that's realistic, because Geralt should have known that was going to happen, I certainly did, and I'm no Witcher.

Re: The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
So I went ahead and ordered the two limited DLC offerings for the game which each come with the physical Gwent cards. And then I ordered the GOTY version of the game. You would think that would calm the collector in me. Alas it hasn't. I've noticed some other game related merchandise.

Or are you and your merry band still marauding your way across Skyrim?
Not criticizing; just curious.

Re: The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
I'm still firmly tethered to Skyrim, Flat. I'm not in any hurry to begin playing Witcher 3 but I'm thinking it would be a good idea to make a move in the right direction. Although, I may go back and play the other two games again before I start.Flatfingers wrote:Has that collector been able to persuade you to start actually playing TW3 yet?Victor Tombs wrote: So I went ahead and ordered the two limited DLC offerings for the game which each come with the physical Gwent cards.

Re: The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt hardcover updated guide arrives today. All 832 pages of it. Still ruminating on whether to pre-order the figures from Dark Horse. They look well detailed but a bit on the small side.
