Ending cinematic

Excellent job with the outro, CD Projekt The final scene with the Nilfgaardian armies crossing the Yaruga is just spectacular. It makes me even more excited for The Witcher 3!

I thought it was very very well done too - but I felt it lacked something...

In my mind's eye I suppose I was expecting the Nilfgaardian crossing of the Yaruga to be in the rain, Emhyr var Emreis, the Emperor himself, watching his forces cross - in vein with the grittiness and dread of the situation...

Still an excellent ending...well done CD PROJEKT!

I agree with this.

Finally this game has received an well deserved outro to get us hyped for Witcher 3.I have so many ideas in mind on how much content they could implement.

I'm saying this now,it's gonna be awesome.

Nilfgaard has an army large enough to take the whole north?

I had no clue who the incoming army was. To me, the game made the Nilfgardians out to be some tiny faction the north doesn't like. A lot of important background info isn't explained in TW2.

Martians, was your head in Uranus while you played? The game references MANY times the desperate Battle of Brenna, where the entire North had to combine to defeat Nilfgaard. And their threat never goes away - their cold discipline and fearsome nature ("Black Ones in my camp before a battle" says Foltest) strikes terror into the hearts of many Northmen. Pay attention, Nilfgaard is a huge deal. The weak kingdoms are Temeria and Aedirn in most endings - Aedirn only survives if you let Stennis the poisoner become King Stennis I, and Temeria is split between Henselt and/or Radovid on most endings - unless you give Anais to Natalis (which results in the most optimistic lines from Roche in the beginning of the Epilogue).

Battle at Brenna is really only something that's referenced, not really explained. I guess I kind of missed how big Nilfgaard was, and I should have put 2 and 2 together with all the soldiers complaining about how they fought Nilfgaard and have to work with them now.

I couldn't tell that the army at the end was Nilfgaard though, because I didn't see any black and blue colors. I think they were all wearing white and red, and I didn't have the foresight to scan over the Nilfgaardian banner to remember what it was.

Yeah the final scene was simply epic. I can't wait for the witcher 3 =[

Just look at the map, which comes with your retail and digital copy. There, in the top right corner, is a map of the continent which shows all of the northern kingdoms and Nilfgaard. There you will see that the Empire is at least three times as big as all northern kingdoms combined

I think it's good that it was a sunny day. Too often the dramatic "invasion" or battles happen in the rain, especially in Hollywood. And this would actually be extremely uncomfortable for soldiers, scouts, and the generals who can't see the battlefield for all the rain.

I liked how it was a sunny day, just another day, and then the peace is shattered. Very different, and very cool. Can't wait fro Witcher 3!


And yes, Nilfgard is a very large, very powerful empire, as described in the books.
