Import of Decisions from Witcher 1 and 2

Hello,

(1) Do decisions made in Witcher1-2 matter as far as the plot of W3 is concerned or will they mainly consist of cameos?

(2) Also, is CDPR looking at any sort of a cross-platform decision transfer? Perhaps in a similar way to Dragon Age Keep where, irrespective of which platform you're playing on, a program lets you choose past decisions in the saga?

Thanks

I know they are trying to do something that will allow transferring decisions on console. Physically importing a save is unlikely. Something like a question-and-answer session is more plausible.

I think it's been their position that TW3 has to stand on its own, so while decisions from TW2 will have some effect, they will not go so far as to open or block quests.

Actually they said you'll encounter characters from the previous games depending if they were alive or not. I do hope we can have some side quests open due to our choices. This will make choices made during the previous two games more rewarding. And of course the support you gave in buying and playing the games.

I'm still mad that Aerondight, sword TLOTL gave Geralt, turned into a keepsake shortly after Chapter 2.

EDIT: Also that Raven's armor was quickly replaced in Chapter 1.

The Vran armor will be the same I bet. It's just a balancing thing, it would take so much out of the exploring if u started with the 60 dmg swords and 35+ armors.

I know, would have liked the option to make them more powerful by clicking a button. Vran and top swords in Chapter 3 in TW2 didn't mean as much as Raven's armor or Aerondight because you didn't have to work so hard to build the Vran's and Aerondight was given by the Lady of the Lake, where as you just found or solved once simple puzzle to get the top silver swords in TW2.

I'd like an easy way to change your choices in TW1/2 from TW3 just to be able to quickly do another playthrough and see the differences. Or for it to ask you if your choices in the save you are loading are the right ones so you don't load the wrong save and then get far and figure out it was the wrong one.

Like

"Did you side with X? Yes/No"

"Did you kill Y? Yes/No"

Or

"This file says you sided with X and Killed Y: Is that correct?"

Something like that.

Hopefully Steam saves work with the physical edition too.

I personally would love my previous choices of the witcher 1 & 2 games to have some kind of impact on the witcher 3 game. I have said in another post that I agonised over all my choices and played everything, I won't post spoilers of anything here.
But something like the DA keep as someone else has already mentioned might be the way to go as some people may no longer have the saved games from previous ones due to any number of circumstances.
Though I guess it all depends on how much CDPR is going to incorporate Geralt's previous actions into games, as there were only a few nods here and there from W1 to W2 to stuff, nothing on the scale like the Mass Effect series, So it might not even be worthwhile or make much of a difference.

Yeah.... quite sucked that the epic gift from our lovely lady of the lake was worthless there... :(

I hope we get some epic sword they "calculate" the dmg on geralt skillz "dynamic" so that we keep them
MAYBE A "NEW" AERONDIGHT :D :D

ok OT

I really really hope our decisions from BOTH game get imported in TW3 (dual savegame import maybe?)
That would be nice

W1 decisions should be in the W2 savefile if you imported them when starting the 2nd game.

Only the decissions from TW1 that matter for TW 2 are carried over. The rest didn't. But I assume that would be too complicated for the devs to make TW 3 analyse both TW 1 and TW 2 seperately.

I disagree. None of your choices in Witcher 1 affected the story in Witcher 2 in any major way. I don't see how they could reflect your choices in W1 in W3 if all they had to go off of was your W2 save.

Don't underestimate CDPR :) Siegfried, Yaevin, Adda and Thaler choice is in TW2 save for sure.
Maybe even Abigail, Vincent and others not so important characters.

I doubt they will affect the TW3 plotline in any major way either outside of maybe a few NPCs or dialogues/NPC chatter. Regardless of that, I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with, only choices relevant to the 2nd game were imported from the TW1 save.

On another note, WorldChoices.ini(in the savegame directory) mentions these related to TW1:
[levels\03_camp\world.w2w]
Have you saved Adda in Witcher 1?
killed = NONE ; saved = witcher1_adda_lives

[levels\04_city\world.w2w]
Have you saved Adda in Witcher 1?
killed = NONE ; saved = witcher1_adda_lives
Did you help Order or the Scoia'tael in Witcher 1?
Scoia = sigfried is dead ; Order = NONE
Click to expand...
That said, I'm not sure what WorldChoices.ini even is, I JUST found it in the savegame directory.

Hello all, I thought of making a thread on it's own to suggest this because it might lead to a discussion, but since there already is one about importing saves in TW3 I will do it here.

First of I have a question about the 'default' choices that will occur when you don't import any saves at all. What I mean is that; Let's say you make a new game in TW3 but you don't import any saves from the previous titles at all, then which side will the game assume you sided with ( Roche or Iorveth?), and that applies to the other choices aswell. For me this raises questions because while I like the story of TW3 I like both Roche and Iorveth and unfortunately when you side with one the other one will become your enemy.

Now for the suggestiong part, a lot of you may be aware of DA:I's thing called Dragon Age Keep (?), which is basically a website where you can 'make' the choices of a character you create, and when the game comes out you will be able to import that character to the new Dragon age game. Now this seems like a good thing that can solve many problems if something simillar could be added for TW3 (there is plenty of time to implement something like that still). Of course there could still be an option for those who would like to import the saves manually since I'm pretty sure a lot of people will want to play the games again before the new one comes out. Also, this could be a solution for people who will play TW3 on consoles.

So it could go like this, when you make a new game in TW3 you get the option to import a save, play with default choices (no import) and 'create' geralt's past for the previous games. Of course for the 'create' option you must have played the previous games, so when you will be given something like a list with all the minor/major choices from the games, and when you are done you will play the Geralt that you created at that moment.

So yes, that was my suggestion, sorry for the long-ish post, would be nice to know what you think of this.

I'd imagine the default settings would be keeping as many people alive as possible just to have you get the most content. Consoles aren't going to be able to get some content if they don't do something like you said. I doubt they would do that so either they will do something like what you said OR the default actions will just make as many people alive as possible.
I haven't played Iroverth's path but I remember in Roche's you could help Iorverth at Vergen when he was under attack and it didn't negatively affect anything else. Maybe if you do that he won't be an enemy in TW3

I played TW1 and TW2 on PC and I'd really like to import my savegames to Xbox One. I hope CDP will make it somehow possible (even if its tricky).

They'll probably do a question and answer thing when you start the game

That'd be the best thing IMO.

"Do you want to import previously made decisions?" => Yes/No
If Yes => Start decision-programm.
Then they ask you about all the major decisions. Who did you kill? Which path did you choose? Which decisions did you make?

One question though: Why don't you just buy it on PC?
According to CDPR mid-range graphic cards can play the game without any problems.
