[TW1][WIP] The Rise of the White Wolf

[PATROL]

We truly appreciate all of these opinions and suggestions. Thanks to your faith in our work, it's seems a lot easier. There were many things we firstly planned to change or modify, but the game hasn't let us to do that. Maybe in the future, when we will be more experienced, couple of things will be added to our project.

When can I expect to be able to download this magnificent piece of art?

 

[PATROL]

SOON Really soon, it seems that we'll finish before 15th of March.

What happened to the thread in Polish that had more 400 pages?? http://pl.thewitcher.com/forum/index...watek-roboczy/

Usually I saw that topic for stay tuned with the mod


PD: I like to say thanks again for your hard work, guys

Not entirely sure if this was brought up or not, but I'd like to see Adda with white hair (Adda the White) idk why they made her a red head

I don't recall Adda ever being referred to as Adda the White in the books. The only thing that I remember is the scene right after Geralt breaks her curse, where her hair is red:

"He scrambled from the sarcophagus, aching, numb, cold. And then he saw her. She was lying on her back next to the tomb, naked and unconscious.
She was rather ugly. Slim with small pointed breasts, and dirty. Her hair - flaxen-red - reached almost to her waist. Standing the lamp on the slab he knelt beside her and leant over. Her lips were pale and her face was bloody where he had hit her cheekbone. Geralt removed his gloves, put his sword aside and, without any fuss, drew up her top lip with his finger. Her teeth were normal. He reached for her hand which was buried in her tangled hair. Before he took it he saw her open eyes. Too late."

EDIT: After some research, I realised that this is part of additional material Sapkowski released later on. I assume they kept her hair red so that they don't confuse foreign readers of the books, who do not have access to the additional materal.

"Even though in the "Temerian Dynasty", additional material written by Andrzej Sapkowski and published on his official website, Adda was described as white-haired and mentally retarded. However in the game and in the English translation of the short story "The Witcher", her hair is red, and while there is no explanation for the change of her mental state, it is possible this change was to make her more like the strigoi of Romanian myth, on which the Witcher Striga is based. According to Romanian mythology a strigoi has red hair, blue eyes and two hearts." Taken from the wiki. I don't care much for striga mythology, if Andrej said she has white hair, then she has white hair.

Keep in mind there 2 Addas. Adda - Foltest's sister and Adda - Foltest's daughter with Adda (his sister).

EDIT:

My mistake, on the wiki she is listed as Adda the White. http://witcher.gamepedia.com/Adda

Yes, please refer to the edit I made on my previous post.

 

[Ðarkstar]

This could be optional, but personally I'd prefer Adda to have white hair to emphasise the trauma from the curse. Thanks.

 

[ReptilePZ]

There are a lot of instances where the games don't follow the exact description of characters in the books. But yes, I can understand why you'd prefer Adda to have white hair, I was just not familiar with her portrayal in "Temerian Dynasty."

 

[Ondrex]

In czech translation of The Witcher short story her hair is light red. This is the first time I hear that Adda has white hair.

 

[pateapollos86]

Same, in spanish books the color of Adda's head is blonde-red. Although his hair be white, this really not important for the mod

 

[Senteria]

I prefer the red, it's what I've read and seen.

 

[Ðarkstar]

Whateverrrr, I just wanna hurry up and get this mod, I have no games to play and I've played The Witcher 2 to death.

 

[SMiki55]

Maybe she dyed her hair?

 

[SMiki55]

Well... new Adda from Eskadro. Voilà:

I was just wondering if it would be possible to shorten Geralt's hair in the back, maybe to make it look like his elven style hair in the Witcher 2. Just a thought

 

[SaladinBarchan]

^ Different hairstyles for Geralt would certainly be welcome addition, but I am guessing it would be rather difficult to change every cutscene and dialoque where Geralts hair shows (aka all of them).
I dont know, maybe someone could make wearable hairband or something (like in the Books) to Geralts inventory which could be used like some additional armor. I think that would be nice and maybe not so hard to make (correct me if I am wrong).

Anyway, are you guys planning on making some kick ass trailer for your mod to make some jaws drop around here when you release your project?
Like in the FCR- mod?

I believe they made the elven hair shorter than TW1 because of the hair physic problem, if not for that he would have the same long hair he used to had in TW1. I still prefer the TW1 elven hair because in TW2 it makes him look like somekind of grandma :lol:
