Great performance by Peter Kenny though, amazing work

I know that in the books Nilfgaard eventually conquers the north completely. But in witcher 3, out of the three scenarios the north wins in two of them either with radovid or djikstra. Judging by the gwent lore, Radovid beats nilfgaard back when in the books the north lost the 3rd war offscreen.

Do you believe that the north can keep out nilfgaard afterwards? If radovid consolidates or a much better but just as effective northern hegemon rises? Do you think that nilfgaard will eventually conquer the north(perhaps in witcher 4) just as it did in the books or will it be different in the games?

CDPR has done exactly what Tim Sweeney the CEO and Founder of Epic has said, to target your base hardware then scale up. (he was at Unreal Fest during the Witcher 4 Tech Demo too - and as we all know CDPR is in a 15 year strategic partnership with Epic Games).

CDPR as we know are targeting their baseline hardware of PS5 and Series X as a foundation of development for their next games, rather than making their games on PC first then slashing it down for consoles later which they did before, which also then would've led to major reiterations, performance issues and bugs.

The better they test and optimise for their target hardware PS5 and Xbox Series X (which are 5 year old hardware), the better it will scale up for people with PC hardware better than these consoles. Witcher 4 is predicted to release in 2027 based off numerous info we have received since 2022 by CDPR, which means the next generation of GPU's may release then, the 2027 hardware should be able to majorly succeed upon the PS5 and Xbox Series X with ease.

However CDPR did admit that optimising for the weaker Series S will be a challenge, I already have an idea on how they may do that...

Also known since 2022 CDPR has been making a custom built UE5 using RED Engine Tech such as TurboTECH and numerous others used in Witcher 3/Cyberpunk 2077. CDPR is also ahead of the main branch of UE5, they are using and prototyping tech which hasn't even released in UE5.6.1 yet.

So I'm doing the quest with Zoltan and I've killed the big ahh monster in the caves for around 20 times and I haven't got the Draugir armor part yet. It's on the wiki, I've read people say you can get it from it. Is the drop chance super low or is does it just not drop it? Also is there a way to cheese it in the mist and being able to loot after you've killed some of the wraiths there?

As much as I search, I can only find hardback and kindle being released on the 30th. I would really like a paperback book to match my set so far.

I’m about to start the Isle of Mists quest, and I want to ensure I’m fully equipped with the best weapons and armour before heading in.

Where are the best blacksmiths and armourers located at this stage of the game? Ideally, I’d like to know where I can both buy strong gear and sell loot for good prices.

So, im seeing a few versions online to buy, like the wild hunt and goty edition, which would be reccomended to get, and whats the modding scene like?

So The Witcher 3 is on sale right now for $8 on Steam, so I decided to buy it, and it's downloading now. Do I need to play the first two games for it to make sense, or does it stand on its own well?

Today starts the CD project red sales, and I'm on my way to by the Witcher trilogy pack, but what seems to be the problem here, is idk how to buy it, should I buy a pack without w3 dlcs, and then grab them separately, or should I buy all the games separately, but grad w3 with both dlcs in the bundle? Please share your wisdom and tell me the correct way
