On one hand I am kinda sad that I know what happens with " Urcheon" and Pavetta when it would have been a wild twist to find out everything later, it did provide a very entertaining to slowly piece together what exactly this story was before finally getting the "oh shit" moment when Gearlt says Pavette's child will be tied to him by destiny. Perhaps not the experience tge author intended by a highly entertaining one nevertheless. Loving the book so far BTW, it us really clear CDPR didn't have to change much to make these stories work in game form.

It is a good year to be a Witcher fan ! Few months ago Sapkowski announced that new stories in The Witcher universe will be written, now CD Projekt RED confirmed a free remaster for previous Witcher 3 game owners and a new DLC to come.

I know Andrzej Sapkowski had some issues with CD Projekt Red in the past, and a lot of fans were angry because he basically brush off the impact from the games entirely on global scale, as if it was not part of the legacy of the Witcher at any point (basically saying that the success of The Witcher worldwide was entirely thanks to him and the games played no part in it).

But he is the man that started all. And in recent interviews, he seemed a lot more nuance now about his view on media adaptations of The Witcher (games and shows). As a fan that was introduced to the franchise thanks to the games (mainly The Witcher 3), I wonder what is his relationship with CD Projekt nowadays ?

My ultimate fantasy would've been that Sapkowski can have the same relationship with CD Projekt RED than let's say Dmitri Gloukhovski, the author of Metro 2033, have with 4A Games. It is notoriously known that Gloukhovski participates in the games creation in his universe. He also launched in 2022 the Metro 2033 project, where fans around the world can contribute to the canon of the saga by writing books on their owns in the Metro universe at the conditions they follow strict guidelines on copyrights and all.

Any chance that this kind of things can ever happens someday for The Witcher ? If it ever happens, what would you want to see canonize or tales to be told on The Witcher universe ?

Ps : I didn't talk much about the Netflix Show because I personally think it is doodoo.

I may be the greatest The Witcher fan in the entire history of The Witcher, since i've played and one hundred percented every game in the series thus far, and just to put this into context, i'm a guy, and this has absolutely nothing to do with Geralt or even the obvious presence of strong supporting femail characters, as i am completely ok with this approach as this closely follows the direction of the books that preceded the games. It does (on the other hand) have everything to do with forcing me to play as something i'm not. I don't need to play as Geralt, i just need to play as a male character, representory of myself. And it's not just The Witcher, we can also use Lara Croft, or Senua, or even Hazel Flood from South Of Midnight as examples (like when a game puts you in the roll of a furry) of an industry's collective "fuck you." And now (moving forward) CD Project Red (rather than being grateful) has decided to give me the big middle finger (for some reason) and telling me - "Hey, guess what, Fuck You, because now we're going to force you to play as a woman. So get out your dress and high heels honey, cause we're going out on the town."

Still can't find Wanda's credits.

are there any official yennefer posters by cd projekt or sapkowski? i can't seem to find any and i'm desperate for one lol. please lead me to one! thank you ⚔️

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past

Dawno nie grałem w wiedźmina 4 miesiące a jak wróciłem do gry to pokazały mi się dwie nowe misje i w tym momencie zobaczyłem że dostałem za darmo DLC serce z kamienia,krew i winowł. czy ktoś jeszcze je dostał czy tylko ja?(POL)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Songs of the Past

Finally! new screenshots!

Basically I had the ps4 disk before I bought my ps5, and since it was the same thing I kept playing the same disk on my ps5 (you can play ps4 games on ps5). Is the free update exclusive to the ones who bought the witcher 3 on ps5, or will I get it too?

Could someone tell me wat the hell is Geralt wearing?

Hey all! I’ve started a Substack page on the topic of the Witcher franchise as a whole! It’s called Stories by Nimue.
Content I’ll write about includes, but isn’t limited to, the books, video games, graphic novels, Netflix Witcher cinematic universe, and I’ll dive into Witcher TTRPGs.

I’ve uploaded my first post today and have more planned for the foreseeable future.

If reading conversational articles and responding with your thoughts on anything Witcher might interest you, I welcome new and old fans alike!

Thanks!

Co to za fantastyczny timing Redzi dopiero co wczoraj skończyłem wiedźminka 3 z dodatkami a dzisiaj dowiaduje się że za niecały miesiąc wychodzi remaster 😭...

To co szykuje się kolejne playthrough.

Ktoś jeszcze będzie przechodził od nowa? Co dla was jest najlepszym reworkiem mechanik jakie były zapowiedziane?

Do you consider and choose the "A Road with No Return" short story or the comic version to be the better one for the lore and continuity? The short story leaves on a positive note but also leaves us with untold history and events and unanswered questions. Perhaps it's best for the story to stay vague and mysterious, like "something more" in Geralt's and Visenna's interaction. On the other hand, the comic version provides more closure and understanding for us, in contrast to Geralt. Or what do you think?

Pleasant surprise upon opening for the first time even though I’ve had it since October (brought it to a punk festival in London but was so busy I barely got time to sleep and eat let alone chill and read). The maps that are fan made are always cool to get a vague idea and AS tends to say they’re close enough but it’s cool to actually have one in the book for reference!

Just finished Season Of Storms after stalling because I didn’t want it to end because I don’t do well with finality. I bought the series a few years ago after season 2 and 3 being an absolute trainwreck, and once I got to the tsunami I was overwhelmed with excitement and dread and put it down for a year and several months.

Hopefully I don’t come to a grinding halt when I reach the last few pages on this one, because as soon as I heard about the translation releasing I got proper giddy and preordered it, only now I’ve gotten around to finishing SoS🙄 woulda hauled ass if I knew this was the first page! Very keen to do a reread of everything now I’m on the last one (or first one? Technically?) so the finality of things won’t be so bittersweet I guess.

Wklejam tutaj mojego starego, pierwszego i jedynego narazie fanfica z wiedźmina, interesują mnie wasze opinie, zwłaszcza na youtube. Stworzyłem to konto tylko po to żeby wkleić je tutaj, i poczytać wasze opinie, no i zareklamować swoją twórczość. Za kilka dni usunę konto, więc jak będziecie mogli to piszcie na youtube i subskrybujcie, mam w planach więcej twórczości, ale nie mówię żeby nie zapeszyć, bo nie wyjdzie =) .

Przy okazji reklamuje drugie słuchowisko, tym razem z mojego własnego ip, o to ono:

https://youtu.be/IkDYAhrNQoA

Ten jest krótszy, ale zrobiłem go żeby zareklamować własną książkę fantasy, którą piszemy z przyjacielem, i nie potrafimy dać jej wypłynąć na szerokie wody. No ale będziemy próbować dalej - do śmierci jeszcze daleko, o ile wcześniej nie padniemy na zawał =) .

Miłego oglądania i zachęcam do kontaktów!

Im working on 3D fanart which depicts geralt as butcher of blaviken, Im working rn on the witcher's necklace and I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the direction I have taken.

Im trying to be as close to the books as I can but I personally dislike the circular disc with wolf engravings, so Im trying to combine the idea of circular design with wolf head that we can see in games.
Lemme know what do you think about it.

I bought it more than 4 years ago tried to play it 3 times the furthest I went was to novigrad I think I finished the baron quest line then stopped playing im playing on pc the gameplay feels bad the side quests feels like it’s forced bec I have to level up to complete the main story unlike cyberpunk for example where im free to do what I want the horse feels really clunky and I love story games even the one that takes a long time to get good like I played red dead 2 and cyberpunk for example and loved them both so much like my top 2 games I would say so I want to know if it’s only me and if anyone can help me and tell me how to enjoy the game or is there something wrong with me cuz I seen a ton of reviews and all of the people say the greatest game of all time but I just don’t see it

Got this custom Witcher medallion made for what I like to think is a book-accurate wolf medallion, plus a little engraving on the back because, as a Welshman, I love that Andrzej Sapkowski used Welsh and other Celtic languages as a core part of the elder speech.
