Interviews and Articles - 2015

An interview with our good @theta77 in Pixel magazine (Polish) - not much new info, but here are some more interesting tidbits:
- Ciri will have 'multiple' unique abilities
- at times Geralt and Ciri will be traveling together and participating in the same events. @theta77 admitted he personally likes the duo very much
- there will be significantly more important women than in previous games and Geralt's love conquests will have consequences

Jeremy Irons

No discredit to Charles Dance, but a Jeremy Irons voiced Emhyr... Oh my stars I'd like to hear that.

I wonder when we are travelling with a companion who have combat capabilities if we encounter enemies will our companion fight and be helpful or will they act like they are fighting and not really do anything. I don't really want their help but it breaks immersion when the latter happens. Tho maybe we will be the one following the companion who won't encounter any enemies and not the other way around.

- For voicing Emhyr, they also asked Jeremy Irons, but Charles Dance proved to be a better choice.

Charles Dance was a great choice. He has a very characteristic, rich voice that's for sure.

I love both actors, but I have to agree, Charles Dance's voice has more "weight" than Irons's

Right? Right? Anyone who sees him playing Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones will see what I mean

In the twitch live stream the REDS talked about a particular ability of Ciri that is super fun to use. My bet's on blinking, that would be the first we've seen it in a 3rd person RPG to my knowledge :hmm:

Blinking is one thing (already confirmed). The interviewer asked if Ciri would be able to traverse the world with her special skills. Marcin Blacha confirmed that indeed she would. Then he added that she had completed her witcher training, hasn't been through the mutations, can fight with her sword, and can use her numerous special skills, which I assume indicates that we'll have some intriguing magicks at our disposal

But in all seriousness he has a great voice, however it's a bit on a sinister side. Charles Dance sounds more regal and powerful, but not necessarily evil which is how I imagine Emhyr would sound.

There was a protective aura thing in elder blood trailer. Maybe it's one of her abilities.

1. Awkwardly sat through an all-nude intro cut-scene while the developers watched me, watching it
Remember that unspeakably awful teenage moment when you were watching a movie with your parents and a sex scene came on? I do, because that exact same feeling washes over me as the camera pulls slowly up on Geralt of Rivia having a lovely bath, sans clothes, in the opening scene. And who's that? Oh, it's love interest Yennefer, also starkers, reclining on a chaise lounge. Behind me, I can feel the eyes of several CD Projekt developers. Watching. Judging. Should I be looking appreciatively at the lingering bum shots so as not to cause offence? Or will that make me look like some kind of deviant? What's the protocol here?

Why so judgmental CDPR, why? :hai:

Interesting interview with Damien Monier.
[you will see that, he is quite tired (suspect because of that event), but it gives the council]

That passage is genius, couldn't stop myslef from laughing

Well I can't remember and RPG I played that had "blinking" (like Dishonored) in it, Nicholas Roche (or should I say Vernon Cage?)
