So, just to be sure, when I want to answer the questions at the beginning, what option do I have to choose? I know it was mentioned before, several times, and then changed again, but going through 138 pages to find it is just a bit too much…
Game is completely sold out at the town I’m living in BTW. So I now have a PS4, but I still can’t play… :-(
So wait, you want to say Yes to simulate the save if you want to answer questions? I wonder what I answered? I thought I had the right answer at the time, but I can’t remember anymore. Would I have answered questions already if I had answered correctly?
EDIT: I just looked it up, the questioning should have taken place in the area I just passed between White Orchard and the next area. So I must have answered No.
Yes, you want to select “yes”. It was during the moment the barber shaves you.
I completed W2 but couldn’t remember it at all so when I had to answer those questions I felt like Abraham Simpson… I did what now? Who?
To be fair, Geralt has an amnesia thing going for him.
To be honest, it isn’t really important. At least two of the questions have, let’s say, consequences that are just flavor.
Thanks all, a yes it will be then. When I get the game, that is. I could buy it online in the Sony shop probably, but I’m not sure I should. Waited this long, might as well wait a few days more!
It really shouldn’t be that big of a deal to play in the default world state.
Yeah you only “want” to say yes if you know why you’d care. New players should just say no.
Hah, before going to Kaer Morhen I went to Novigrad to get a beardcut (clean shaven Geralt = best Geralt), checked my quest log…hmmm everything done…except the gwent tournament…so I joined and another gem, just awesome quest all around, even met a minor character from the books, which was a cool surprise…too bad my Geralt is faithful to Yen :)
Even managed to win it, “Sasha” was the hardest opponent, she used like 6 spies against me :D
And then I get to Kaer Morhen and first the beauty of the place is just stunning and then the pitch perfect dialogues/bitching starts, with Lambert and Yen…
This game is just so masterful, Sapkowski himself wouldn’t be able to write it any better.

Oh it gets better. It becomes… a thing of beauty.

This is why I’m eagerly anticipating future CDPR games. I mean sure, they had an established lore and universe to work with but to produce quests and dialogue on this level you need some really really good writers.
I love how there are so many moments when you get to be the classical hero and right as you are about to take it all in, the game kicks you in the nuts and rubs your face in the dirt; “look at what you did you monster!”.
Seems the white wolf just can’t win in a grey world.
Man, this game, this f### game. So good.
Never been that touched by a game before … real emotions. Laughter, pleasure but also genuine sadness. And, to me at least, most of the situatiosn actually feel genuine, not “gamey” or forced.
just one example
like that poor guy Craven/Skjall. Poor bugger lives his fisherman’s life then blam, Ciri and her troubles fall into his life. Poor sod gets to experience his first kiss before being branded a coward and dying to a werewolf. The way the events were described just felt right. Not forced but somewhat plausible. And I did feel sad for the poor guy.
I felt so sorry for that guy, what happened to him was completely unfair and the game doesn’t even let you remedy any of it.
Agreed, but I’m not a new player, so I’d like to see what happens due to the choices I made in the Witcher 2. Even if it’s only flavor :-)
Yeah that was heartbreaking. The flashback with Ciri was so nice and funny, but the realization of what happened to him…just sad.
At least I lifted
spoil
the curse from the werewolf and then killed the bastard once he was human.

Well you can kinda throw him a bone with one of the conversation options.
Yeah, I realized that when I was googling the topic. Apparently the internet is full of people saying “Oops, I said yes to this question by mistake, and now I have to answer questions about names I’ve never heard that mean nothing to me, how do I get out of this?” So I got lucky and avoided that fate by mistake.
The reason I thought I might have enough knowledge to answer some of those questions is that I did watch those two 30 minute Youtube summaries of the first two games upthread, posted about 70 or 80 pages ago. The ones that made the Witcher universe look like a boring piece of trash pulp fiction. If someone hadn’t then also linked to that Kotaku article on what new players need to know to get caught up on Witcher 3, I probably would have skipped this game, and that would have been a shame.
Hardest non-main quests, people?
For me they were:
Jenny of the Woods
Little Red Hood.
The Phantom of Eldberg.
I recommend waiting to being a pair of levels above theirs to do it.
I also got owned the first time I found gargoyles outside a closed space.
