The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a 2015 action role-playing game developed and published by CD Projekt. It is the sequel to the 2011 game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and the third game in The Witcher video game series, played in an open world with a third-person perspective. The games follow the Witcher series of fantasy novels written by Andrzej Sapkowski.
The game takes place in a fictional fantasy world based on Slavic mythology. Players control Geralt of Rivia, a monster slayer for hire known as a Witcher, and search for his adopted daughter, who is on the run from the otherworldly Wild Hunt.

If you missed the first video th-cam.com/video/iQW9od79u8o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pIZMXkoBfqQ9JMQv
Wild hunt, is another name for the nordic name ragnarock
Every sword has two edges. 'Old say', have many versions fo centuries. Point is, one is death, You chose, what other side is. Sorry for my bulgarian.
@@gracjanstanosky9698 You write beautifully!
When it comes to the games and novels, the games take place in a alternate future after the books. This way there are constants and variables between the two, so each can be true and the players own creation.
Yeah the Game is and isn't canon at the same time. You can play it, trying to do everything just like book Geralt would, but you are free to choose differently. But the Base setting, apart from Parts that come from the previous two games, can be seen as Lore.
I just love the music in this game, the atmosphere and all the Magic is so amazing. Loving the playthrough vid so far!
Eeee thank you! I'm so feral for this game already
That lelelele music - never gets old, especially when you're in combat!
I think this is the best ever soundtrack for a videogame ... ALL of the music is incredible, even the new music they put into the DLC
A winning combination of classical orchestra and Polish folk-singers and folk-musicians playing on folk instruments
The lelele song has been stuck in my head all day and I aint mad about it Excited to hear more of the soundtrack
Agreed. Between the lelelele and the ambiance song /singing in Skellige…. Makes me feel everything. This game is simply brilliant in all aspects, except for roach, fuck roach
It's wise to consider the books and the games like separate stories but beware that the games take place AFTER the books. So if you decide to play the games first, you will get more than a few book spoilers. You'll probably also miss out on some cameos and some really nice references to things that happened between the characters in the books...
Unless you really don't want spoilers for the books I'd recommend looking up some story summary of the books and earlier games before playing the Witcher 3.
Hey thanks for the words of caution. My pc broke a few hrs into my playthrough so maybe a good time to start the books to avoid some spoilers 😅
@@Liddles Yes, reading the books before playing definitely fills adds color to the lore of the universe. However, II actually did the reverse and, honestly, did not miss a beat. Witcher III stands so well on its own - lore, character development, etc. - that I recommend you pick your preference and just go with it. It's a win-win for you either way.
1:55 I guess he has a real birds eye view of the action
Dammit
my favorite trailer from The Witcher 3 is Rage and Steel
So there's even more 👀🥳
I feel like Witcher 3 did a good job of standing on its own without requiring much, if any, knowledge from the books. I played Witcher 3 before I played or read anything else and while there were certain things that I could tell were meant to be references/call backs, but it was never a big distraction and I never felt like it was taking away from the experience. HOWEVER.... the books really help flesh out some of those details and references. When I replayed W3 after reading the books, I understood so many more references and relationships. Also, reading the books made me finally play the first 2 games because I had to understand how we got from the end of the books to the start of W3.
Listen, I ain’t gonna try and dictate who to go with. But please look up the backstory of Geralt and Yennefer’s relationship in the books before you get too close to the red headed lady..
Hey I appreciate the input, especially done in such a way to not spoil it 🫡 looking forward to the books
@@Liddles I would never want to spoil something for you, debated not even leaving the comment at all! But I definitely think you should know the backstory behind the relationship in case you regret any choices! Can’t wait to watch you play:)
@RossG99 yeah I appreciate it the consideration! Had to delete a couple comments just now of info dump spoilers on the three women so (didn't read them and probably no ill intent but still 🫠) so this was nice. Have a good day!
Lolol
Actually No, play TW2 and then consider who you get close to, because the games aren’t the books.
there was a witcher 3 game music concert recently. plus only in Witcher are elves and dwarves crime lords.
The money I'd pay to go the the concert and hear the lelelele song
@@Liddles that tune was Silver for monsters. Adapted from the Slavic wedding hymn Sargon. PS there is a vid of the said concert on TH-cam.
The DLCs are great as well. If you are planing on playing the game, they are worth it. The story is really good in both, and it has a different tone from the main game, and different from each other as well.
the books and the game are similar...not the same but different in a comprehensive way...the netflix version completely vandalized...hope you enjoy the playthrough, after 4 times beating the game im still excited to play the Witcher world trough the eyes of Gerald of Rivia, have fun..
Soundtrack...Blood and Wine DLC, very relaxing...
Quick question, are you a Kiwi or an Aussie? I'm leaning more towards Kiwi. If my ears don't deceive me.
NZ based Aussie so got a mixed accent
@@Liddles Yep, that's the perfect explanation for what I was hearing. lol
Cheers, Liddles.
I'm also an Aussie, but I'm cursed with an uncanny ear for the subtleties of any accents. And, also music, but I have almost zero talent with a musical instrument.
Well, apart from the blues harp.
I really hope that you went on to play through the game.
Dont feel bad, I only started playing this in 2022. an absolute masterpiece .....
.... wait till you get to Toussaint
Your enthusiastic review of these makes me want to try the Witcher games again. If you're into character driven games may I suggest the Horizon franchise (Zero Dawn and Forbidden West)...you would enjoy being Aloy.
Hehe I'm glad to hear! Funny you should say that, Horizon franchise is definitely on the list as a few friends have said the same. Admittedly I've put it off as it's a bit daunting how long the games are but I think after Witcher I'll be looking for something to fill that void.
Yeah, good idea.
The author already said over and over and over that the games are DEFINITELY not canon.
With good reason at first, the Witcher 1 was dubious in quality ... but the games are made after the "there will be no more books" stage.
You probably already know at this point, but the books do connect with the games, it's just that the games are essentially official fanfic (and not in a pejorative way) made by the studio that produced them (the author of the books isn't involved), which picks up after the books end, taking a specific interpretation of their ending and going from there. I'd appreciate if you had a "book talk" stream or video to discuss what you thought about them once you read at least one of them.
Also, since some people unfortunately get confused and there's plenty of misinformation and bad advice floating around the internet about it, I'd like to make clear that the first book is "The Last Wish" and the second one is "Sword of Destiny" -- it's just that the stupid English publishers arbitrarily decided to separate them from the rest with no justifiable reason (having a slightly different narrative structure just aren't grounds to do so), but they're all part of the same overall timeline and story and in other countries are correctly labelled as such, so absolutely read them first before picking "Blood of Elves" and the rest, lest you miss a ton of awesome and important character, world and concepts presentation, development, etc.
Thanks for letting me know, I was actually confused when I looked them up in my Library's catalogue and multiple books are listed as the first one in the series so now I have my answer on where to start.
Definitely have plans to chat about the books too, will probably do it in a video so I don't have to stress about spoiling things for others on a livestream.
@@Liddles No problem. It's awesome that you want to dive into the books as well and so much sooner than average -- they are honestly, as far as I'm concerned, the definitive The Witcher experience and way more consistent and well-written than the games are overall (the games are still good, though), it's just unfortunate that too many people don't like to read and need that universe to be represented in a game in order for them to appreciate the stuff (at least some go back to read once they're starved for more TW content hahaha).
I'm really fortunate to have read the books first, then played each of the games in order, 'cause that pretty much doubled my enjoyment as I caught a ton of references and saw some stuff being very well represented and come to life through computer graphics.
In any case, I'll be looking forward to your book reviews hahaha.
I don't know if you have seen Game of Throne but the sus Guy Emhyr van Emris sry if I missspeled the Name is voice by Charles Danse the Actor of Tywin Lanister
Interesting! Yeah love the voice acting of him, he still sus af though 😅
Please make a Ciri and Triss cospaly now. xD
Steel for humans , silver for monsters 😅
Just do yourself a favor and avoid the trailers for the DLCs, as they give away the entire plot of both (especially the Hearts of Stone "teaser", which even spoils one of the endings for some reason)
Going into Witcher 3 (the main game), Hearts of Stone, and Blood & Wine completely blind was probably the best experience I've ever had in gaming, and at this point you can at least experience the DLCs without spoilers!
Wtf that's so weird. Equivalent of watching a movie trailer where they put the only good parts in so when you watch the full movie, it's a let down. 🥲
Grateful for you telling me! Thanks!
@@Liddles No problem! I quite enjoyed your reaction so I thought I'd warn you! :)
Looking forward to the playthrough
Well the red headed lady is the correct LI choice in game (pls don't hunt me down Yennefer fans) ...
Just forget about Netflix.
It doesn't do justice to the Witcher at all.
Lying, corrupting and misinterpreting lots of things. Even the lore, and magic, and history. Characters butchered.
It is Geralt with G-sound like in word "grate". Why? Because He is a polish character, written by polish quite famous writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Not Andrew, Andrzej. And all you see in the game, or read in the book [NOT SEE ON NETFLIX ADAPTATUION - this is abomination and people responsible for this should be punished] it based on polish culture and folklor. Also, Yennefer is pronounced like Yeahnefer.
Leave the basement. Start reading books. Maybe then you'll find out what this game is about. For now, you're just blaspheming.
This is such an unhinged way to tell someone you don't know what a first impressions reaction video is 💀🤣
God forbid that you should read a book.
The Wild Hunt is part of European mythology. When you hear the hunting horns, you are compelled to follow.
But in this case where the snow is
Such a great game. You're in for a treat. Hope you play the DLCs too. Blood and Wine and Hearts of Stone are both probably the greatest DLCs I've ever played.
I've heard such good things about both! Fully intend to ☺️
Welcome to emotional roller coaster this game is. Almost 10 years since its release and I'm yet to find anything that will give me at least similar experience.
I just know it's going to be one of those games for me too 🙏
Fun Fact:
The Emperor, as in His Imperial Majesty Emhyr var Emreis "the white flame dancing on the graves of his foes" is somewhat bad yeah,
as he's the one that brought the war over the lands and it were his soldiers that had their "fun" with that woman from the "Killing Monsters" Trailer.
He got voiced by no other than Charles Dance a.k.a. Tywin Lannister from Game of Thrones.
The red haired Woman is Triss Merigold a sorceress and a friend of Yennefer of Vengerberg and also a love interest for geralt in TW3, bt they were a couple in W1 and 2 due to reasons.
"Sauron" looks a little different, but no less intimidating ingame and is the Leader of the The Red Riders, his Name is Eredin Bréacc Glas and he also is the King of the Aen Elle Elves from another world.
Later due the violence and swiftness they hunt for slaves in the World of the Aen Sheide Elves, which is ruled by humans, becoming known as The Wild Hunt and he getting known as the King of the Wild Hunt as he led them himself and with his crowned helmet.
In Skellige they are known as the Wraiths of Morhogg and it is believed that they would bring the end of the world.
The only Woman he really tracks in the game is Ciri, as he'll find Yennefer pretty early on.
Ciri is so jfyi the (bio)daughter (Geralt is pretty much her real father tho) of that somewhat ebil Emperor and the Child of the Elder Blood, The Lady of Space and Time, which is the reason Eredin shifted his focus to and hunts her now, as he has plans and needs her powers.
you look like Yennefer in the first trailer....
Honestly, the books are fairly badly written. They're riddled with amateurish problems. Like the overuse of the word, "suddenly". My god, the number of times events are described as suddenly happening, or characters suddenly do something with no explanation or reason given. It's always just suddenly this and suddenly that.
Then there is the dialogue. Two characters will be speaking. Out of nowhere one of the characters will say something to a third character as though the third character has been with them the entire time, and then that third character will speak with no reference to them entering the conversation. You won't even get a "so-and-so said". All you get is a line of dialogue. It gets confusing at times.
There is very little world building, and very few descriptions of the environment.
Also, the books are subtitled The Witcher, but they should instead be titled The Mages, because Geralt hardly appears in them. The story instead is mostly from the viewpoint of various sorceresses; Yennifer, Triss, Ciri, etc. Geralt is almost a side character in his own books. Dandelion actually gets more story than Geralt does.
The game is far, far better at telling the story. The first season of the Netflix live action is pretty good. The second and third seasons are absolute abominations. The best show though, is the Netflix animated movie, Nightmare of the Wolf. It's a prequel to the game and doesn't spoil anything. It's very good and sticks close to the lore.
I recommend the Official Launch Trailer
Is this the killing monsters one? I did a video on that but seems there's lots of trailers 👀
@@Liddles No, it's literally called "Official Launch Trailer - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt". Got a great song that plays during it as well.
One of the few games that more than live up to the trailers and the hype.
Red headed lady is triss and wild hunt is main antagonist
It is not a crow.. It`s a weapon.
