Interviews and Articles Part 2

[EmperorZorn]

Exactly. Just ignore the hasty, uninformed opinions, the ones that are not supported by logical arguements.

...but... but what about my hasty, uninformed opinions - the ones that are not supported by logical arguments ?
I don't want people to ignore me ! That's... that's a stupid idea, StaGiors !

Well, at least you are right about gamermd83..

She is one of the few people who take the time to do some actual research
about the games before she interviews anyone about them~

....aaaaand I'm off to watch the football game now. See you all later~

Siri

area called Vellum?

not liking what I hear about combat again

Yeah, I'm hoping that the hardest difficulty is truly difficult. Like really, really difficult.

Yeah there's a lot of information in her video.

Ps: Good luck Gremany! ;] (I did bet something on you but shhh ;P)

You're bloodthirsty sadist, sire. :cheers:

 

[Shavod]

Nah, it means that situation in the Microsoft demo when Geralt kill these guys before the hut in swamps. Gang rape was obviously going to happen if he did not arrive...

Ignore it, guys. Just another crazed idiot. These kinds of people are a cancer of today's society.

Funny thing is there was no gang rape implied in this scene, if you look at it more closely. When Geralt notice it, the bandits slice the throat of herbalist customer and want to do the same to her, but she tries to run away. If Geralt didn't intervene or act too slowly they would just stab her to death. Even in the conversation she's not really nervous about the whole incident, she just mention that they tried to rob her. Our society reached the point of seeing some imaginary rape undertones in every scene when woman is beaten, abused or robbed on screen. Even in the Killing Monsters trailer some people saw similar scene as rape at first, before the actual dialog made it clear the Nilfgaardians were just beating her up.

All it takes is just a little logic, scene with the herbalist is one of this random events in game world., when we are given a choice to intervene or not. So do you really think CDPR would include a scene when we do nothing and watch woman getting raped? No, getting killed by the bandits is the worst fate for her that we can possibly witness.

Noteworthy:
- Geralt can climb mountains and buildings.
- There's an oxygen meter when diving.

Don't think this has been posted. Really interesting Video Interview with John Mamais on GameTrailers:

Hey, you are making Ciri fan-art, we listen to you! And you are the freaking Emperor.

 

[hardom]

People switching ciri for yennefer, an over feminist girl who think that bandits NEED to be rapist, no the bandits can't only rob or murder her, they need to rape, that's that woman mind, also if she listens what they say in the trailer it's clear that there's no rape around. And then she pollutes the mind of a friend of her with that, oh that girls is the proof of:you can't make everyone happy. Her and a lot of people around
She probably prefers the juvenile tolkien world that lack of a maturity theme, I mean, not only about sexual things, but also the corruption of people and a game of interests, not a supreme lord of evil
But on topic: I'm really lazy and "busy" now, but any interview explains better the alchemy sistem?

- Quen Nerfed.

Nah, already posted. But it's a good interview.

I like the oxygen-meter, and I hope there will be potions implicated in improving Geralt's diving abilities.

 

[ezhlol]

Edit: NVM, seems like he's talking about gameplay, not encounter difficulty

 

[EmperorZorn]

People switching ciri for yennefer,

Check this out..

"This grey haired woman... oh my god.. is that Yennefer ?" => 1:18 priceless...
"That brown haired lady on the ship is Triss, right ?" => 5:40

*faith in humanity lost*

Well, to be fair: people who haven't read the books can't know what they look like.
But... if you don't know who that is, don't assume~

 

[StaGiors]

Dammit, Jeralt all over!

Gotta give it to her though, she got me excited lol..

well yeah that's kinda :huh: for a fangirl who apparently read the books and played the game.
she sure mixes up the name, Ciri <-> Yennefer, Triss <-> Yennefer.

 

[Devils4dvocate]

The first time I watched SoD trailer I didn't recognize Ciri, I though she was blonde (also, not a girl in the trailer). And I read the seven novels just 3 or 4 years ago

Also, to me: journalist =/= youtuber/blogger

The most embarrasing mistake anyway, was the "sexual tension" one. That was awkward.

that video gave me cancer

 

[501105]

Keep in mind though that it feels that way because we are fans and know a lot about the lore and game.
When you do not things can get very confusing, for example, I made a visit to a Metal Gear Solid fansite recently and that made me feel like knowing nothing at all.

 

[Yellowcardus]

Well that's both Witcher fangirls covered

Joking of course, I know there is many more, possibly even on youtube.

Also, I've seen other witcher related videos from this Kathleenms. I think it's worth pointig out that even someone who paid attention when playing the games, might not know who Ciri is. Her assumption that it's Yen who "has returned" is perfectly reasonable.

Finally, it's always nice to see someone eqaully excited for every bit of new info as myself. Reading this forum you'd almost think that The Witcher 3 is nothing but clunky animations and dumbed down combat

 

[zeta16]

Well, to be fair: people who haven't read the books can't know what they look like.
But... if you don't know who that is, don't assume~

I'm pretty sure Yennefer appears on a couple of the intro animations of the Witcher 2 or 1 so they could at least know that she has black hair/purple eyes.

The Witcher: how to wrap up a blockbuster on a budget.

We get to show characters we mentioned in games but couldn't show, such as the sorcerer Yennefer who's the love of Geralt's life. The search allows for that exploration.

Homosexual Geralt confirmed!

 

[Devils4dvocate]

Homosexual Geralt confirmed!

Transexual Yennefer confirmed!
