A quick disclaimer - A lot of these videos use information from the witcher wiki, in some cases I do read directly from the pages, I do always make sure to include my own thoughts and other information I know myself, but I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page here. Even though I use information from the wiki, I do still create the videos, with time, effort and a lot of editing! The idea behind the lore videos is to present to information to you guys in a fun and more interesting way then you guys having to get the information from pages and read it yourself. If anyone isn't okay with this I apologise, but since day one I have always said where I get the information from. Thank you for reading.
Letho is built like a grizzly, its almost comical to see him wielding those little daggers.
10:55 "I think Geralt would be very sarcastic here. " "I didn't say that!?! " Exactly my reaction lol
Weird... I played it in Polish and it said outright "fuck you"
The intro cinematic is so bad ass damn I remember loving this game so much back when I played it years ago on pc :).
yuo
im not gonna lie, Triss in witcher 2 looks the best- but triss in witcher 3 looks realistic. the whole art/ graphic design in witcher 2 was very cool. its a bit comic style but I really enjoyed it. witcher 1 tried realism with bad textures, and didnt really click with me, and witcher 3 went realism and did it perfectly well.
The jump between 1 and 2 is very drastic, but from 2 to 3 it' more of an overhaul and improvement from the previous game aha
Nah, in 3 she looks the best.
And then there is a Triss from Witcher Netflix
You see what they did to her in the tv show? 😡
@@joecash5663 for one, I feel like the actress looks a bit older than the character should.
A HUGE step from Witcher 1. It's almost Witcher 3, not too bad at all and looks well worth playing
I love how you not talking when it comes to cutscene, really give me awesome experience. i'm gonna watch all of your witcher video
i know hes not the best guy on the continent but poor Foltest, one daughter was a striga for a while. lost more of his children, then died after fighting a war to get them back.
Foltest was cool, I miss him too.
I'm glad they fixed the choice dialogue in the Witcher 3. For the most part it was better. The very first dialogue option right here at 10:45 was so miss leading, Telltale currently is doing the exact thing. That's important detail that developers need to realize and fix.
I did the same thing.
Shi was so funny when he did that😭🤣🤣
It happens in the Witcher 3 too
I hate it
The Witcher 2’s prologue has got so many cool moments with the siege tower and the army and stuff, I wish we could’ve seen some stuff like that with Nilfgaard and Redania in the Witcher 3 but I bet they didn’t wanna do more of the same stuff.
yes
I know I’m late. But I just started the Witcher 2 and I like to watch each each episode of your play throughs after I finish a section of the game. Just finished the Witcher 1 and did the same thing, so thanks for the amazing content.
"A bunch of lords and lordlings took a ride to then pompously stride on top of the walls, while the real army fought and died below them in the shit and piss filled streets" When I first played this game it was this line that stuck with me and made me see early on what kind of guy Geralt is
for a monster hunter Geralt sure lives well ;)
I only just found out you can simulate choices across games how amazing is that
Probably one of the best openings to any games I’ve ever seen 😍
1:05:11 If I remember correctly, if you lose the only silver sword there's a secondary quest to craft one.
I actually like that Foltest fights along side his soldiers.
His Noble Soldiers* but yeah he clearly cares about his army more than someone like Radovid and certainly more than Emyhr
@@detergentpackets8088 yes
@@detergentpackets8088 that’s not how that works. A responsible and competent war leader would never fight on the front lines, it’s impractical and stupid, this is why historically nobody has ever done it. They need to be at the back commanding the troops and giving the orders
@@blazefa. historically no ones done it? How about to name a few Alexander the Great? Richard III (died leading a cavalry charge)? Leonidas
@@A-G-A-G Yh, it’s dumb. They all died
This game is the reason i played 3 and now have interest int he books and show.
ive tried one of the books ...complicated...
1:05:42 A harmless monk with a fondness for hooch by the sound of his voice. Haha
I remember back when this game came out, it was also playboys ridiculous attempt on trying to get new readers- they had triss nude in it.
God aha
OP. I think everyone would want that.
19:46 In the books the Crinfrid Reavers had for me a more eastern look. Like Mongol warriors or something like that.
Yeah, I'd say they look more like they're from skellige then the east.
Excited for this this series!
Thanks man!
Loving this so much
Thanks man!
7:17 the music is from Bulgaria, looks like cd project red are the only ones that include traditional Bulgarian music :(
CD Project Red aren't the only ones. A few years ago a group of Bulgarian traditional singers sang at a folk festival in Ireland and they were amazing. I believe they were called The mysterious voices of Bulgaria, though I'm open to correction on that. Their type of music was so different than anything else at the festival, almost otherworldly, that they got a lot of national attention at the time. I think there's a group of such singers that still visit Ireland every year. I couldn't understand what they were saying but I felt it in my heart. That might be the most pretentious thing I've ever said but I stand by it. I'm happy that your take your culture as seriously in Bulgaria as we do in Ireland. Two nations on opposite side of Europe, united in their love for ancient music. I'd raise a glass to the health of the Bulgars (where my surname comes from actually, but that's neither here nor there).
when the one npc yelled "death to the sister f***er" at 59:00 my friend hanging out with me and I said, "I mean..." at the exact same time lol he's makes a compelling argument
Im so happy right now lets get it
The altair part caught me off guard lmfao
The lighting looks much better on this than in 3. I had to fiddle with my TV settings a lot to get 3s lighting to look okay. It looks too light and too dark at the same time. This looks much more realistic
I've noticed the lighting and shadowing in the 3rd game is all fucked up, too. Too much contrast, shadows not in the right places, light shining where there is no light, etc.
1:04:42 That's how I lost Aerondight too the first time I played it. Haha
"Oh look. A harmless monk." Lol
a monk with 23 inch biceps hmm
Boulder los gorde and silver studded leather gloves... hmmmm nothing suspicious here
Good luck bro 🖤
Damn George, hit with the hour long vid, must have been hell to render as opposed to your regular vids. Either way, excited to see you hit Witcher 2.
I found a new method that seems to work a lot better so, it took less time then expected (still a few hours though aha)
Interesting is it a Iorveth Playthrough? I have to watch it if so because I did a Roche Playthrough years ago and Have to see what happens in that now!
Yeees! I dont have enough time to play TW2 but thankfully I will know the backstory better than before! Thank you!!!
Np man! I'm glad you're here to watch!
Hey witcher, I found this looking up witcher 2 (just bought the remastered edition of w1 and w2 on steam). Are u playing the base game or remastered?
I find it weird that animation in opening doors in witcher 2 is much better than witcher 3 🤔
Geralt : So...you killed two kings, stirred up a scoiatel revolution, disrupted a peace summit & plunged two ambitious kings into war - And I'm just supposed to let you go, WHY?
Letho : Ummm....because I saved your girlfriend & didn't break the bro code while you were MIA?
Geralt : Makes sense, you are free to go.
50:56 The trick about parrying is that you have to time it well, in the game and in real life too.
Ah thanks man!
Dark adds new armour sets inc steel n silver swords. You can hit him with ballista you get an achievement for it
Wow this game still looks good
I swear the way the eat in the Witcher games is always so unsettling
Just couldn't get into this game aftrr the beginning... the controls practice mission thing ...it has everything I want in a game butbi wish it was a tad bit bit tedious. If they were to come out with a new one id be stoked to play it
10:43 Altough it has to many straps and belts, I really like Roche's armor and weapons array in this game.
It looks so cool!
The witcher 2 is a better RPG then cyberpunk 2077
Just downloaded this game after watching lol. Hopefully they create a 4th Witcher game based off the series. Henry Cavil is the perfect Gerald of Rivia
You'll be happy to know that witcher 4 has been confirmed.
I’m here to co-sign lol
Oops
30:00 I like ho Foltest decided to man the balista himself to get rid of a traitor who was blowing promises in his ear.
45:50 The duel against Aryan is very cool.
Witcher 2 is very bright( the sky , mountains even faces) , can you tell the brightness and gama settings?
23:42 And ridiculously ominous and tense for this part of the game.
v intense
One of the best game/rpg ever.. im big j-rpg fan ( FF, Xenogears/saga,
Star Ocean, DQ etc... ) but this and the 3th is like much then they.
:p
33:33 Roche's truth wisdom!
I love Roche!
Please, follow his path in this gamplay!
you have to aim about a head above him to hit him on the wall. i did it last week :p
You can definitely get him ;)
Man this game still looks good they definitely need to remaster it
Why not wait til it looks bad?
@@JobForAMaxboy because it can look bad it has good graphics so a remaster could potentially make it look better than witcher 2
@@JobForAMaxboy I mean 3 not 2
witchers figthing style looks a lot like wushu pretty cool idea to combine that into a warrior-mage hybrid
It's very cool!
I think I’m going to buy this game
You definitely should!!!
Hello George, I have finished the Witcher 3 many many times, so I am tempted to play the Witcher 2, but I don't know where to download it or get it and I have a Mac computer. I know Mac is not for gaming and I don't use it in that way but I'd really love to play Witcher 2 and I don't want to buy a gaming computer and the Witcher 2 on Mac on steam is just for windows, do you have any advice how to get it for Mac ? Btw u have great lore videos.
Letho is definitely my favorite Witcher.
He's so cool!
Since this is backwards compatible on the xbox and the games probably dirt cheap since its been out for a while i really don't have an excuse to not get it
The witcher 2 is SO much more cinematic than 3
yes
Thank you, I miss Foltest
I always thought that the beginning act of the second game of the Witcher series 2 as the best one, and one of the main reasons being the fact that whole thing with the La Valetts and the whole battle sequence are just so good. But I want know what you think George?
I really do like it, it drops you straight into the action and is so great as a continuation from the witcher 1! However I do like the fact they link the witcher 3 cinematic, with the start of 3.
It’s Definitely super fun to pay through. I honestly tried replaying Witcher 2 several times but kinda gave up after deafeating Aryen De Lavalatte because the rest of the game isn’t as closely action packed as the first 45 minutes imo
Witcher 2 is a pure Gem. Level normal Seems to be Level hard ;)
The melee combat in Witcher 2 feels more responsive in my opinion but I like everything else more about Witcher 3
I don't really get that 2's combat is super clunky and unresponsive 3's is extremely fast paced and fluid
Do you know how to import a save on a mac?
SOLDIEEEEEEEEEER, SPYGLASS!
The armor in 2 is so much better looking than in 3 and suits a Witcher’s fighting style better. Wish it were the same in 3
The armour is all awesome!
Is that an error in the opening texts? Battle of Brenna was in 1268 and this game takes place in 1271, so how can it be six years?
I just got this game. Never played the franchise before. I just wish I didn't have to start with the second game. But they never ported the first game to consoles.
Anyone that still plays are the controls good if I have also played this on Witcher 3 would I have any problems or are the controls kinda the same
I just started withcher 2 after finishing witcher 1. I did not receive my armor and swords that were supposed to be recovered. Would anyone know why this happened? I imported the savefile and so on
Ok I’ve just bought and started obviously due to Cavel in the series.... I’m not a great gamer but I’m somehow stuck in the prologue. No matter how I start to play the bad guys just keep regenerating. I can’t fire the ballista. HELP!,
Bro, what are your PC specs? I want to build me a new one to play at 60fps too but I'm a bit on a budget.
Gtx 1060 4gb, I7
It’s a 9 year old game, should be no problem
31:56 The king is walking and speaking to someone but that idiot soldier sings his lungs out. Hahaha
1:04:44
Lol, so that's how he loses the sword !
The lady gives you the sword back in witcher 3
Dark mode is a pain in the ass when you draw your weapon, I just didn’t get it, as it wasn’t in Witcher 1 and they didn’t carry it over into Witcher 3
40:49 A one-man army.
Gerlat the legend aha
5:45 Have to get ready for a lot of ranting and game saving footage then. Haha
Mounting Roach and mounting Roche sound the same but mean 2 very different thing
Or do they.... th-cam.com/video/W2evDvaa25U/w-d-xo.html
30:48 I know I'm late here, but yes, you actually can. You get an achievement/trophy for doing so as a matter of fact.
Agreed, aim more for the wall he is standing behind. Essentially just aim 1.5 degrees to hit him.
God.. how much i wanted to play the witcher 2 and 1 but i couldn't its not on the ps3 and there is no remastered on the ps4 and i don't have a pc.. this is so sad for me
I really love the feel and atmosphere of the witcher 2 I think it's better than the witcher 3
I disagree. That fortress is ridiculously huge in the witcher 2
Witcher 2 is great but 3 is on a whole other level of greatness.
@@nik774 Amen to this
The guard will collect you in 5 minutes. How actually they measure time in that age. sundial?.
1:15:36 I think it would be interesting if in the next witcher-like game you actually need to check your needs like food or rest.
Maybe as a survival mode?
I know rhis is late but, play kingdom come deliverance, it's as close to a dark ages life emulator as you can get
@@rikpep3585 Thanks! Already played it to completition like 3 times. XD
Also I told foltest the truth and he reacted suprisingly well.
Nice!
Witcher 2 to Witcher 3 style change is a bit like dark souls 2 to dark souls 3.
Witcher george what is the hardest achievement in the witcher 2 and witcher 3
For the witcher 3, I'd say the killing 50 non humans and human with headshots crossbow bolts aha
1:09:11 How useful would've been Geralt's crossbow there. But then the game would've just lasted an hour. Haha
A harmless monk with studded knuckles...
He had his faults...but I think Foltest was one of the better monarchs of the north.
I like Temeria and that's one reason I dislike Letho... killing the king brought chaos to the country... so many people ended up dying. Framing Geralt too... :(
:P And Triss is more than just a friend... seems more like a friend with benefits.
aha it appears so
On that first choice think the same react the same
Philippa and Yen will always be leagues more interesting than Triss lol
Triss has the issue of being a bit of a coward and she’s pretty gullible in the books and in parts of the games. Always just doing whatever Philippa tells her to do.
FACTS
By the way, it is possible to get it. As far as I know there is an achievement for it. You need to get one in a half degrees as far as I can remember
Oh dammit
It's really hard TBH. IT took me up to 10 tries
may have to get a XBone to play this again :)
You should!
I have this game too though i dont think its supported for linux because i cant play it😫😪
First time I played this game I raged quit during the ballista QTE BS. I could not click my mouse fast enough to get the ballista cocked and after 30 minutes of that crap my finger was hurting. Installed an auto clicker to get past it. The later raged quit because of the required boxing QTE's... didnt play the game for a year after that and got a mod that slows them down.
46:00 bro theres no way i killed that dude just a few mins ago just to having to do all over again…that sucks
soooo blew through witcher one in lie 2-3 days,... welp on to the witcher 2 it is.
Aha I love the games!
"KILL THE WITCHER!" he says as he is killed by the witcher.
lower volume on music, raise volume on dialogue.
30:30 There are plenty of tutorials there haha! You actually have to aim a bit lower and boom!
At some point you should livestream part of this game!
I'll probably keep it to this channel but I'll play other games on my twitch!
