The Witcher fan articles
In 2007 CD Projekt Red stood the proof that good role -playing games do not necessarily have to come from the USA or Japan. With The Witcher They awakened the captivating novels by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski around the Hexer Geralt of Riva to digital life. The action role-playing game quickly became a critic and fan favorite and captivated with good graphics, a profound story and complex RPG elements. This set the starting signal for one of the most successful (and above all most popular) series.
Four years later, the developer studio followed The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings after a worthy second part, which should exceed the previous game in every respect. Was visual The Witcher 2 One of the most beautiful games of the year 2011 and narrative has demanded many difficult decisions to us or presented some unforeseen storywists. To this day, Assassins of Kings is considered an atmospheric masterpiece and is repeatedly cited and praised by fans.
The CD Project Red then achieved the big breakthrough The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015. Over the next few years, this game should lead all leaderboard and several times in a row to play the role -playing game of the year, as well as the most played RPG at all. While the predecessors were still quite linear and offered a rather hose -like level structure, the third part now rely on an open game world that was freely explored and invited to discover and linger.
Regardless of whether you play a round of QWint with your dealers or go on a monster hunt, whether you wanted to master treasure hunts or complete side quests: in The Witcher 3 There were as much employment as in a Bethesda role -playing game away from the brilliant main story.
If you played the first two Witcher games in the standard version, you may have noticed the new Geralt spokesman in the third part. Instead of Herbert Schäfer, known as Commander Shepard from Mass Effect, the leading role Oliver Siebeck, who is closer to the original with his deep voice, was familiarized with his deep voice and synchronized in German personalities such as Mark Strong, Ray Stevenson or Barack Obama. Incidentally, it was also committed to the Enhanced Edition of Witcher 1 and 2 so that the trilogy looks acoustically uniform. But only as a funfact on the side. And if we are already on the subject of funfacts: Did you know that Witcher creators Andrzej Sapkowski can't do anything with the games and now even regrets that he has sold the license for it? We can only say: Fortunately, he had sold it anyway! Or could you imagine a world without the game trilogy? We are not.
With the DLCs "Hearts of Stone" and "Blood and Wine", each of which could have been separate games, CD Projekt Red blew the third part to the absolute content monster. The quests were consistently in extremely high quality and purely visually set the Toussaint Visual standards. Overall, the Witcher Epos was brought to a worthy end and even after over half a decade since the publication, the main game and addons can be played through again and again, discovers new facets, select other dialogue options and thus experience other story paths. And if you liked the card game Gwint so much that you have collected all the cards in the world and defeated every opponent, there is also Gwent, the consistent further development as an independent game.
A Propos Independent Game: 2018 CD Projekt Red Delivered with Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales A mixture of RPG and a collective card game with an emotional story, which was told by complex and stylish images and a surprising arc. Although the 2D look is not everyone's taste, the game programmed with the Unity Engine cannot keep up with the main parts. But for a real fan, with its 20-30 hours, it is still part of the mandatory program. After all, it shines with the typical Witcher strengths: the decisions you make affect the course of the game, the story is deep and stirring and the whole gaming experience feels round and positive in a positive way.
At the end of 2019, Netflix of the Witcher Saga finally set a cinematic monument and delighted us with a live action series with the muscle-baked gaming nerd Henry Cavill in the leading role as Geralt of Riva. Unlike in the games, the prehistory is told about the novels. Quasi what we already know from Sapkowski's both short story volumes, "the last wish" and "The sword of providence". You couldn't have found a better actor for the witcher. Like no other, Cavill connects the look of a Hollywood drafter with the nerdtum of a true gambler. The YouTube video is unforgettable, in which he collected a high-end PC himself or the anecdote that he almost missed the casting for his role as a superman because he was just playing World of Warcraft.
