Congrats on the win REDs, seems to me quite impressive versus such an old global brand as the near centenarian Bats. I like the video, the new shots, the hints of whats to come, the music, shame it was badly delivered (personally I had to wait to view
again because I refuse to provide details to g+, whose true colours must be obvious to everyone by now with the imminent targeting of children's data).
Why does the Wild Hunt specters spill blood when cut? Is that part of the plot, perhaps?
Were they ever Spectres, or is that simply the effect of fear on those who observed them? Remember things in the real world are not so clear cut as we would like them or 24 hour rolling news tends to soundbite into... so a good game, or a good storyteller, includes these obscurities in their tales. I could supply instances from the modern world, but from myth or semi-history is far more appropriate, and these are the words of a monk describing the Battle of Clontarf in 1014ad... is this really what he saw, or was he confused by what he saw, or is there an agenda at work in the description? Basically, what makes you think you can, or should as Geralt, believe any observers' description of The Wild Hunt ?
