Witcher 3 hangs at the beginning of the game. What to do for a good ending

Right now, all gamers can be divided into three groups: playing "Witcher 3" (or even those who have passed), fundamentally not playing those who have not yet made their choice. Especially for the latter, I with great difficulty found five really good reasons yet not to buy a new RPG, but to do something else. One, however, quite ridiculous. If none of these reasons in your heart fails with an alarming tingling, then you have to take.

1. nothing to play

It is obvious that if you do not have a PlayStation 4 game console or Xbox One. Or a powerful PC, then "Witcher 3" will not be useful for you. Moreover, oddly enough, this is not the game for which it is worth buying a new Iron. And then spend, turn on the third "Witcher", you will begin to consider the polygons and the number of frames per second, look at the grass, look for glitches, crushed from in vain money and do not get any pleasure.

2. You want to play with Russian voice acting

With localization, there was some kind of thing. English translation is good to everyone, but sterile; In it, we are familiar to us terms from Slavic mythology (and books of Sapkovsky) adapted for Western gamers. Instead of "Volkolak" - WEREWOLF, instead of "Krasnolyud" - DWARF. Accordingly, the lion's fraction of color is lost. "The Witcher" is cool, the fact that it is easy to forget about the Polish origin of the game, so many characters are similar to Russians or at least close to Russian on mentality. In our translation, text is gorgeous - with lively Right Matercomes, with the present language of Sapkovsky, with figurative expressions, usually rarely found in localized games. Divine and voice acting Geralle, all other actors fall into the role worse, and the most appreciated is to slow down and accelerate the replica in a variety of dialogues (in cases where the Russian phrase is shorter or longer than the original). You can, for example, play with Polish (or English) voice acting and Russian subtitles, but I wanted to hear my native speech.

3. You have little free time

The world "Witcher 3" is a giant, with the game (unlike Dragon Age.: Inquisition) It's pretty difficult to slip quickly. The level of complexity is designed so that you have to clean the sign of the question on the map, not to mention additional questsOtherwise, at some point, come across a completely impassable story battle. In addition, the game restricts you in fast movements (they can not be done from anywhere, only from the way post), often makes running there and here around the city within one quest, so you will spend a lot of time on the simple world. But he is huge, even within one location, the map rolls down into several screens, showing all new and new villages.

4. You do not like mess

Most weakness Games - interface. The inventory accumulates the insane number of books, garbage and crafting materials, and you never know which one can suddenly need three and a half hours. It's a pity to sell all this, because in the store for the subject will give, for example, one crown, and with reverse ransom will require forty. At least organize the inventory so as to separate unnecessary things from the necessary, and it is impossible. No and the opportunity to give things to storage in the tavern, as it was in previous parts. In general, not a game, but hell for a accumator, who has at home every thing lies in its place.

5. Tits and frank Russian mat are confused.

Geralt shows a naked torso in each case, the sorcerers do not get out of Lohani with warm water, "so the authors of the game were able to please feminine and male audience. But it is much more important that in the "Witcher 3" are constantly intimately (using words prohibited by Roskomnadzor), so phrases "And he has sex with a goat" or "End you!" It is exactly what their real Russian man says. But, of course, probably there will be finely felt people who will insult such a straight in the game. Well, then "Witcher 3" is definitely not for you.

The Witcher 3, without a doubt, is a terrific game, in which the generations have already fluffled at the stage of exit, and what a hype took place during the first week!

Hyde for all possible endings Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, there are also descriptions of the changes if you imported the preservation from the first and second parts. And yes there are tons of spolers.

Almost 2 years ago, during the announcement of the game, CD Project said that there will be 3 endings in the game and about 300 different variations of the status of plot lines / states of the world.
The game has already come out and now it's time to know whether the truthful words of the CD Project were truthful.

It should be immediately noted that the main 3 endings are associated directly from the cursions (swallow), so until you find it by the main plot of your decisions will not have a strong influence on the final. Some people can meet her already at 25 o'clock their games, this is if they just rushed directly by the main scene line, closing your eyes to all side quests and unknown details. For other people who first put the goal to go through the whole minor, meeting with ceres can be significantly distorted.

It doesn't matter what you did during the game, the name of the mission in the epilogue will be called "something ends, something begins." The main difference of the ending is the fate of the Cirins.

The fate of Cirins depends on the following seven factors:

1. Will you play snowballs with cereals or offer to drink.
2. Will you answer it to the emperor.
3. Do you take money from the emperor for led to a cereal to him.
4. Will you go to the lodge chalk with it or send one.
5. We will try to calm the cursions in the labararatoria of Avallak'h or let you make a pogrom
6. Do you visit the grave of Schonya or say that there is no time for this.
7. Did you fulfill the chain of the Sidequesta associated with the killing of the Radote.

Tip: Since solutions affecting the ending are accepted only after the battle in Kaer Morcher, it makes sense to make preservation so that it is easier to replay these moments, and not pass the game from scratch to get another ending.

"Something ends, something begins - the ending # 1" (Cirins dies / disappears)

To make such an ending, you must fulfill at least 3 of the 5 negative solutions:
Act # 2: Main Quest: "Landscape after the battle" You have to offer ceres to drink, instead of playing snowballs.
Act # 2: The main quest: "Landscape after the battle" you have to take money from Em Gyr, for the search for cursions.
Act # 3: Main Quest: "Recent Cookings" You must go along with the Cirins on the Board of Lodge Cologgeons.
Act # 3: Main Quest: "Preparation for the Battle" You have to reassure it, clothes on the neck Lara Lara Dorren in Labatria Avallak'h.
Act # 3: Main Quest: "Preparation for the Battle" You have to abandon the campaign with the Cirins on the grave of Schonya.

Explanation:
In this case, Heralt acts as not exactly a good mentor and father, who cannot support Cirins in a difficult moment and does not understand her character, sometimes posing at all in her eyes. After the cursions go through the portal to the meeting with white chest and she scrolles all these memories in the head, it does not return back. In fact, it is believed that she dies in this ending.

In the same game, the events transfer us to the swamp, where Geralt goes in search
The third witches finds it. After the victory over the witch, he finds a box in the house in which Mazemir's medallion lies and stays there alone with himself in Mount and despair.
Later herasta surrounds the crowd of monsters ...

Act # 3: Main Quest: "Preparation for the Battle" You should not calm the cursions in the laboratory of Avallak'h, and on the contrary, allow it to arrange the pogrom there.

In addition to these conditions, you must also fulfill the following two conditions:

Act # 2: Main Quest: "Landscape after the battle" to bring Cirins to Em Gyra. When the cursions will wake you up in Kaer Morcher tell her that you first need to visit the emperor.
In the second act, you must finish the quest line related to the attempted Radovid, namely: "Eye for the Eye", "fatal conspiracy" and "enemy of the people".
In the third act, the quest "Cases of State Importance" will be available to you, where you will need to choose the side of Roche and Tyler after the murder of Radovid, which will lead to the victory of Nilfgard over the north and recognition of the theme as a vassal state.

Explanation:
Heralt acts as a good "father" for ceres who knows the approach to it. After the portal, the cursions return back and go to Nilfgark, where EM GYR will prepare Cirins to becoming an empress.

"Something ends, something begins - the ending # 3" (cursions becomes a witch)

To obtain this ending, you need to perform at least 2 out of 4 positive solutions.
Act # 2: Main Quest: "Landscape after the battle" You must offer the Cirins to play snowballs, instead of a break.
Act # 3: Main Quest: "Recent Cookings" You must allow the Cirins to go one on the Council of Lodge Cologgeons.
Act # 3: Main Quest: "Preparation for the Battle" You should not calm the cursions in the Labarazia Avallak'h, and on the contrary, allow her to arrange the pogrom there.
Act # 3: Main Quest: "Preparation for the Battle" you have to go with Cyrian on the grave of Schonya.

In addition, you must fulfill the condition:

Act # 2: Main Quest: "Landscape after the battle" You do not have to divert the Cirins to the Emperor, and immediately go to the Lysa Mount.

In addition, there are 3 options for this ending, which depend on your choice during quests for killing Radovid.

To get # 3A and # 3b, you must finish the quest line associated with the attempted rapid, namely: "OKO OU", "fatal conspiracy" and "enemy of the people". In the third act you will be available to the quest "Cases of State Importance". From which the results of the 3th development of the situation in the war and the North.

Ending # 3A.

You will support Vernon and Tyler after the murder of Radovid, which will lead to Nilferghad Conditions. The Temer will become a vassal state, which will be allowed to engage in its own economy and develop. EM GYR will capture all the north and comes with the destruction of the opposition on the lands of Nilfgard.

The ending # 3b.

You support the diyacter and kill the Rada, which will lead to the "Conditions of Diiikestra". Diyikerstra will become the ruler of the North, by intimidating and imprisonment, it will be able to unite the entire north and discard Nilfgark. The empty areas of the North will begin to flourish and develop. Em Gyr will be killed.

Ending # 3C.

This ending will appear if you do not follow the conditions above. Radows will remain alive, he will be able to unite the north and repel to Nilfgarda. After a number of defeats, the Emperor Em Gyr will be killed by people from the opposition. Radyid himself will continue to the wave killer and dislike.

Explanation:
Heralt acts as a good "father" and a cereal mentor who knows approach. Overflow positive emotions Curries returns from white chest.
In the game itself, we go to Em Gyra, which we inform you that the ceres are dead and will not return. After that, we are going to Nilfgaga camp, which is in white gardens and there we get a wonderful silver sword From the master. Next, Geralt meets the ceres in the tavern, where this blade gives her and then they go together to Bolshak.

In this ending, ceres becomes a witch, which is essentially canonical, if it is properly understood its character. She wanted freedom and do what he wants. After heralt taught it to all skills, the curses go to free swimming, and the news about the great witch with ash hair will be separated from the shores of the tongue to the Mountains of Kovir.

Effect of solutions taken in the Witcher 2 on The Witcher 3

Those who have to save the passing game from The Witcher 2 can easily transfer them to The Witcher 3, which in some way will affect the events taking place there.
For those who have such conservation, there are no developers give a chance to make a simulation of solutions when you first visit the castle in otzima.
Now we will try to consider these solutions and what they affect.

1 - The fate of Prince Arianna?

If you kill Prince Arianna, then his mother Marie Louise Le Vallett will refuse to talk to you during the quest for the search for girls of the buttercup.

If you can get it to surrender, then his mother Marie Louise Le Vallett will be happy to talk with you as accompanying General Nilfgard and you can go with them on horse racing.

2 - Whose side chooses Gerala after events in the Flotzama?

Apparently it was so conceived by the developers, but in The Witcher 3 you will meet only Roche, there are no news or rumors about Yorvet. If you have chosen the side of Yorvet, then in front of the camp Roche will need to fight the chipboard, which herall helped proteins.

3 - Who helped heralt in Lok Minne?

Savior TRISS or helped save Anais / Saskia. As with the previous solutions, these are not affected. If you saved TRISS, then the TRISS does not even mention it is not a word. If you sagged Anais, then General Nilfgard will turn out that you only moved the pawns on a chessboard. Sasquia is not at all in the game, like Yorvert.

4 - What did you do with Sheali de Timerville?

If you say that she was killed, then, according to players, you will still meet her in the plot, though it will already be at death and plays only the role of a fleeting nature. Perhaps this is a bug, or thus developers completely refuse the idea that you could kill her. If you say that you let go, then you meet it in any case in prison in Oxenfurt.

5 - Fate summer.

If you kill it, then you will not have the opportunity to meet it in The Witcher 3.

If you leave alive, then performing the quest "Ghosts of the Past", which is in the village of Zalipier, then you can meet him in the barn on the second floor. After that, another quest will be followed, where he will ask for help. If you help him, you can send it to Caer Morcher, where it will help in defense.

If you made a tattoo in The Witcher 2, then it will be transferred to the third part

If you have not slept from TRISS in The Witcher 1, Yennifer will not throw off the bed from the balcony in Kaer Morcher.

However, it was logical that the developers will not make a strong emphasis on solutions adopted in previous parts, because Otherwise they would have to finish a lot of content, trying to adjust under all ending the previous game. True, taking into account the entire Khaip created during the Piara game, it becomes a shame, especially the fans of the series and those who waited for due influence made in the past decisions on this final part in the game series.

In order to obtain an example for Geralle's movements in battle, a professional fencer was hired. The fencer decided that it was best to make movements similar to dance. Thus, the dexterous movements of Geralta with a sword appeared.

The creators of this popular card game, Damien Munya and Rafal Jaki wanted to create a game inside the game. Their initiative was approved, but with one condition: if they develop it for three days (without postponing other duties). Of course, they coped, and Gwint saw the light. Thus, we got one of the mini-games in the world.

Perhaps you did not notice, driving in the fields of Novigrad on your wonderful mare - roach, but Geralle's beard is growing in real time. If you thought that hairdressers are just a small addition for customization, then it is not. Without visiting the hairdresser on time, you will get a sufficiently sloppy beard when the character approaches the person.

During the presentation on Pax-East in 2015, the game designer, Damien Munya, said that in the Witcher 3 could have been a battle of skating. Munya described this action as "beautiful", despite the obvious violence when cut off heads at high speed.

Now is not a surprise that Map The Witcher 3 is huge, but few know - as far as it is really big. The whole map of the Witcher is 3 by 20% more than the Skyrim card, and weighs 35 times more than the map of its predecessor - the Witcher 2. Now you understand why there are so many damn "?".

At one of the stages of the game development, the target selection mechanics were considered, similar to V.A.T.S. from the series fallout games. This mechanic did not see the light, but, having played, we now and cannot imagine any other method of doing the battle than the one that was made in the game.

So ... a lot ... code

In order to all this huge and beautiful worldThousands of lines of dialogues and tons of various mechanics agreed together and worked, developers had to write a lot of code. More than a million rows, if you are accurate. 30 thousand of which were fully allocated to dialogs.

The author of the book about the Witcher, on the basis of which the game was created, Angey Sapkovsky, in fact, did not play any role in the direction where the developers sent games. The rights to the series were simply rejected by Sapkovsky and nothing more.

The total cost was ... * drum fraction *

During the financial statement for six months last year, CD Project Red has opened the full cost. base version Game Witcher 3. The total price for the game was about $ 81 million, which is twice as much as the cost of the Witcher 2.

Yes, the mountains that you can observe from afar in the addition of "blood and wine" may look very beautiful, but they also contain a small " easter egg" At the top of the far mountain on the Tusten skyline there is a photo of the developers team in the frame between two columns. Nevertheless, it is possible to achieve it only using a free debugging chamber, teleporting Gerasta to the location of the photo.
