The Witcher 3

Ja, du er meget sjov :P, men mener du seriøst at du hellere vil have et spil som er mere i stil med alle de 500 andre open world fantasy spil derude fremfor et der som Witcher 2 udmærker sig ved at have en langt mere involverende verden og dynamisk historieforløb?

en åben verden som Skyrim, hvor alting er designet til at bevare status quo fra første til sidste minut i spillet.

Det kan være, at jeg tager fejl, men en anden ting er - kan det passe, at du har fået dig en lille pet peeve med at skulle stikke til Skyrim, hvor end du ser muligheden, lige som du gjorde det med Halo før i tiden?

...så tænker jeg straks på hele borgerkrigshistorien og hvordan, man der netop kunne påvirke, hvem der skulle styre byerne og landet generelt set.

“With the development of Wild Hunt coming to an end, the team has embarked upon the creation of two new really big adventures set in The Witcher universe,” says Marcin Iwiński, CD PROJEKT RED co-founder. “We remember the time when add-on disks truly expanded games by delivering meaningful content. As gamers, we’d like to bring that back. We’ve said in the past that if we ever decide to release paid content, it will be vast in size and represent real value for the money. Both our expansions offer more hours of gameplay than quite a few standalone games out there.”

Hearts of Stone will take Geralt on an all-new, 10-hour-plus adventure into the wilds of No Man’s Land and the nooks and alleys of Oxenfurt, where he’ll try to complete a contract from the mysterious Man of Glass. Caught in a thick tangle of deceit, Geralt will need all his cunning and strength to solve the mystery and emerge unscathed.

Blood and Wine, a 20-hour-plus tale that will introduce the all-new in-game region of Toussaint, will take Geralt to a land untainted by war, where an atmosphere of carefree indulgence and knightly ritual masks an ancient, bloody secret.

“While we’re offering the Expansion Pass now, we want to make one thing clear: don’t buy it if you have any doubts. Wait for reviews or play The Witcher and see if you like it first. As always, it’s your call,” Iwiński concludes.

The upcoming expansions will offer gamers new adventures, gear and foes and will feature characters both new and dearly missed -- all crafted with maximum attention to detail and quality by the joint forces of CD PROJEKT RED’s Warsaw and Cracow studios.

Hearts of Stone will premiere in October, while Blood and Wine is slated for release in the first quarter of 2016.
Both expansions will be available on all three platforms: Xbox One, PC, PlayStation 4.

Almost every story can be gently nudged in a new direction, too, and it's endlessly fascinating to see the ramifications of your words and actions ripple out across the land. What's especially interesting is the subtlety at play. The choices you make aren't often the heavy-handed, telegraphed conundrums of, say, Fable; sometimes a simple turn of phrase in a conversation tree can unwittingly send the dominoes falling.

You might make a new friend or a life-long enemy - and, sometimes, it's not readily apparent that you've had any effect at all. Even the more obvious choices you're presented with - would you care to rescue this man from a burning building, sir, or free this dark spirit trapped beneath the earth? - can splinter the game's quest structure into strange new pieces that snap back to reveal unexpectedly ambiguous conclusions.

Ambiguity and the messiness of human life. Games have already proven that they can build and populate open worlds, even worlds as majestic and romantic and wild as this one. But this stuff is a reminder that the Witcher 3 is trying to do something different. It is trying to make an open world feel convincingly inhabited, to give it the warp and weft of narrative history. That's a pretty interesting quest, and CD Projekt is a pretty interesting adventurer, beating a path into strange and bewitching new places. The result is that this Polish studio's first open world is one of the greatest we've ever seen.

Ikke en specielt spændende quest, men lækkert at se det i 60fps. Også selvom det er lidt misvisende på den officielle Xbox kanal :)

Jeg er også et stykke inde efterhånden. Indtil videre er jeg blæst bag over. Det er sådan cirka alt det jeg håbede Dragon Age Inquisition ville være (men ikke var).

KillerBean2>
Hvilket hardware har du i maskinen? :)

Virker det rent faktisk Bioware-agtigt?
Jeg tror noget af det bedste, for mig, i Witcher 2 var at det er alt det ingen Bioware-spil nogensinde har været, eller forsøgt på at være - En solid historie med overbevisende figurer, interessante npc'er, tvivlsom moralitet og valg der virkelig gør en forskel, og ikke bare virker som en gimmick.
