Poor cobblers make good shoes, they don't kill monsters.

What Sapkowski did with her is equal parts brilliant and sadistic. They avoid all of it in the games, and honestly it's more palatable but much weaker writing. Ciri is never meant to be the chosen one, her offspring is...which is why everyone is trying to have her baby. The white Frost isn't meant to happen for thousands of years. Eredin isn't even a major player in the books. This is why I always thought CDPR should never have tried to tackle these plot points since Sap already did. And they should have made a more direct sequel to TW2, centering around politics and warfare. Not the Wild Hunt. One thing they did reflect in the game: everyone Ciri loves, dies. I can see that without having read the source material I barely understand the lore really. Question: Do you think a spin-off could be made with Cirir as the protagonist (either set after this game, inbetween the end of the books and the start of the games, or contemporaneous with the books) or do you think they have closed off that possibility? I think it'd only work if they did an origin story or really play with her time traveling to offer new settings. At least two of the endings in TW3 would preclude further adventures with her. They are working on a second AAA title alongside Cyberpunk, so who knows what that is. |

Yes from memory I would agree that W2 had a better plot. W3 suffers especially in the third act, as so many games do. The world hopping bit was not set up well imo. Everything felt a bit rushed towards the end in general. I much prefer W3 though because it was a personal very emotional story. It's the reason Bioware was my favorite developer foe the past ten years. Their plots are often weak but the narrative is great. W3 is a bit like that too. I mean, even W3 has a much better story and political intrigue than Bioware games but it's much closer in style than W2 was. Sounds fun. It's got enough excellent aspects to overcome any criticisms apparently? How about the Slavic influence? Does TW3 have that Slavic feel to it like the others you think? |

I think TW2 will be a classic if it isn't already. Apparently TW3 is going to be a bigger classic, perhaps, anyone?
