Did you like the story? (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

Against the backdrop of the disappointment that the third part of the mass effect caused .... everything is fine =)

the first is the top one in terms of plot (for me), but in the 3rd plot and references there are much more.

Before the battle in Kaer Morhen, everything was fine, as if they had developed it and wanted to finish the game

until the last thought that this was the last mission)

and then bam - more quests, another plot, as if the developers had finished the game, and someone said from above: "guys , something didn’t work out well, another 5-6 hours of the plot "and the Poles took it, 2 weeks before the release of the game they riveted anything and released the game

4/5

I already wrote something similar and completely agree with this opinion. the world in the game is static and the plot is outrageously linear, you can’t argue, you can’t do it your way. Transferring saves is nothing (and I prepared different lines with a specialist). they also removed all the Persians after passing through, was it really difficult to make 5 more dialogues in order to hear zoltan's juicy commentary, go to your home, do something there, buy, or get drunk again with eskel and lambert)) in short, this can game of the year, but not the best conclusion to the trilogy, and perhaps not the best part of it.

I liked mass3, especially the ending. epic, tragic and tasteful. let the 3rd part of the mass come out linear the second, but not linear the 3rd witch.

I got exactly the same impression, after Kaer Morhen some kind of hack went on, even about the Enchantresses who allegedly "helped" (in fact, they were not at all in the final acts, they only showed how they stand on a hill and conjure). After the victory over the Hunt, not a word about them, as if there was not, as well as about Avalakha, they could have made at least the final scene where all the participants in the battle would meet, discuss what is happening in the world, their plans, etc.

With Ciri, it also turned out somehow crumpled, why before the final there was no question that Ciri could prevent White Cold? Yes, and Cold itself is not at all intimidating, it looks more like legends and fairy tales, no one in the world seemed to panic about this, but at the end we are SUDDENLY told that Ciri must prevent the icy apocalypse, in fact, how she stopped it is also not reported to us, went into a blizzard > ???? > went back > Profit! the world is saved.

I support about the hack after the Battle of Kaer Morhen. The side quests are even more interesting than the second half of the story.

And the end (s) is very frail for such a large-scale game, a block of modern igrostroya. The powerful plot was bent at the end completely (

It was necessary to finish the game with Kaer Morhen
to come up with something
Spoiler "ala Ciri teleported behind Eredin and killed him, Geralt avenged Vesemir by killing Emlirh and Avalkh killed Caranthir. And further along the thumb, as was the plot in the original"

Yes, a mistake was made in the promotion of the story, the peak falls precisely on Kaer Morhen, the ending ended up being weak.

I agree, the ending was crumpled and smeared. It seems that before the second act the game was made by some people, and then by others =). At first everything goes in the best canons of the Saga, and then it turns into a slasher. Maybe that split of the team and other problems that befell the developers in the process affected? In general, the game turned out amazing, but there is a clear feeling of understatement and circumcision at the end. Too much left behind the scenes. I expected that they would add some kind of epic battle, such as the battle on Sodden Hill or near Brenna, I don’t remember exactly where the epic was. There is a sea of ​​u200bu200bmaterial for this, you wouldn’t have to suck anything out of your finger. But thank you for doing so =).

Add "Spoilers" in the topic title))
I agree with the comment above, there was a certain peak of history in Kaer Morhen, but my ending was such that I almost gave birth, an epic happy ending came out which I did not expect ... and I fell off my chair xD I'm waiting for the continuation of the story, the DLC is good but it's time to move on) I'm not very picky about the flaws, there were, but the love of the game overshadowed everything))
Spoiler I thought that she was dead, and it was so sad ((For that, Emhyr lit a hahaha, it didn’t work out well, but Ciri dreamed of freedom, so let her be a free witch than a prisoner of the throne. In short, everything is buzzing, the game is great)

As for the magicians - this is also a separate cant. They were not revealed at all, although it was possible to deploy the second Sodden against the wild hunt with epicness and drama. And it wasn't hard to do, considering the rest of the work done on the game. And so just a torn piece turned out.
But as for Ciri and white cold - this can already be done on purpose, thus leaving the opportunity to make either an addon or a separate game. The developers said that they could return to the witcher universe with one of the characters (not Geralt). And it’s not clear where and what Ciri did, you can twist any plot there.

and I wanted to go on a punitive mission to tir na lia, see unicorns and damn it, I hoped that Regis survived and will appear in part 3

I agree, there are no complaints about the endings themselves, they are well done. The problem is precisely in the greased eyeliner to them and the missing pieces. It would be better if those few important moments that were inserted into the second act were transferred to the first, and from the battle in Kaer morhen they would make an assault on Helm's Deep with more epic participation of magicians from both sides. That's where the final battles were supposed to take place. Moreover, it is strange that Geralt got to fight with the one from whom Ciri fled and hid so much. It was Ciri who should have accepted this battle. In the books, this was done very correctly, where each of them fought with those whom they did not even hope to defeat, fought with their worst nightmare: Ciri with Bonhart, and Geralt with Welgefortz. Here, in the final, it should have been the same, and not stupid chants. This flaw does not negate the transcendental quality of the entire game,

Blackstormed
Yes, you're right here, by the way, the "smeared eyeliner" spoiled these plot transitions a little, at the expense of Ciri, I don't
know I just forbade her to go anywhere, leaving Avallakh with Avalakh later, she herself ran into Caranthir, where she snatched off her lyulei and retreated, and so if she had allowed me to go with me, I don’t know how it would look

Alexander Semenov
I'm talking about something else. Have you read books? Imagine how the plot would merge if
SpoilerGeralt came and killed Bonhart himself? Moreover, while reading, I constantly waited for Geralt to save her. But Sapkowski did everything right - he put Ciri in a situation where she had to face the one who followed her and who was definitely stronger than her. She was able to control herself and found a way to defeat him, even being weaker. And in the game, it turns out that dad came and stood up. This is a huge omission. Ciri is a canonical hero, she had to take the fight herself in a situation of inevitability. Those. Eredin (or whatever it was) was supposed to drive her into a corner, and there it was necessary to work out the battle scenario, exactly how Ciri would manage to defeat him with his mind, and not with super-strength. Here, the cut-scene and the intensity of the struggle would just be in place. And then Geralt came, called out to him in the clearing and that's it. Very strongly merged here, very much.

PS, but there is a big plus - your own imagination =). I’ll just forget these couple of hours of the game and consider that it was the way I wrote above =))) And respect to the developers for the remaining 98% of the game =))

Blackstormed
I didn’t read it, unfortunately) but I want to) Now there is not enough time for the state diploma, all nonsense, it would be better to teach how to fill up a basilisk xD) I’ll finish it right away for the book)

Alexander Semenov
Damn, then sorry for the spoilers =))

Everything about the main plot - everything is too trivial and expected, there is no intrigue, no development in different branches, and it looks stupid after the second part.
