Witcher how many acts

If you don't enjoy the game, watch a recap of it on youtube and move on to The Witcher 2. Originally posted by Jojy :. Originally posted by Insania :. Originally posted by his mother :. Lesk View Profile View Posts.

I've just started the trilogy from scratch in english my vocabulary is low, but I feel ready to learn a lot. I hope I will finish the trilogy before cyberpunk will be released :D. I've just started playing this too, it's quite different fron the second and third. Took me a while to get used to the combat system, but overall I'm enjoying it.

The Witcher is structured linearly, and it seems as though it was also built that way. As a result, the game gets progressively better, as if the team was coming to grips with the tools at their disposal and learning to make a better experience. The second act improves upon the first, the third improves upon the second, and on it goes.

Despite some of the game's initial awkwardness, it's easy to form the impression that there's equal amounts of brilliance and inexperience behind the game. By the fourth act, The Witcher finally comes into its own, and that's where things get really exciting. At the encouragement of my friends, I picked it back up, beat the game, and ended up having one of the best roleplaying experiences of my life, from Act IV onward.

Here's a setup: Geralt, the eponymous Witcher, returns from the dead only to find some of his memories missing. From the prologue through the third act, Geralt has been chasing down a shadowy secret organization which has threatened to topple the kingdom. On the way, he's had to deal with a race war that's threatening to burst into flame and the betrayal of the Witcher organization by Berengar, one of their own, while also protecting Alvin, a young boy with mysterious powers.

You arrive on the coast of a large lake. The space is a lot more open than the swamps, forest, and cities of the game's first half, with the village of Murky Waters itself is set amidst hills and fields. You're out in the country, but that's not all that's changed—instead of a Tolkienesque fantasy based around race politics, you're now dealing with an Arthurian village where everyone's very excited about an upcoming wedding.

One moment, you were solving murders and dealing with political intrigue, and the next, in Act IV, you're talking to a very plump man who is quite proud of a cow. You can talk to the cow, too.

It says "moo. People in Murky Waters are pleasant, their worries rather insignificant compared to the kingdom-threatening drama taking place elsewhere. It's a joyful change of pace that inspires Geralt to mutter something about wanting to hunt monsters before he gets roped into helping out at the wedding. Fortunately for a bored Witcher, all's not well in Murky Waters.

There are plenty of monsters to fight, like noon and nightwraiths, ghosts whose loves in life went unrequited. In fact, the wraiths are causing problems for the peaceful people of Murky Waters, and, as a witcher, you're perfectly equipped to handle the situation. There's also a ghost who loves gambling so much he demands you gamble with him for the life of Alvin.

And the local Lovecraftian entities, the Vodyanoi, have taken to worshiping a god called Dagon, much to the chagrin of the villagers, who worship The Lady of the Lake.

It's a concern that overshadows the wedding. The Lady herself used to have an army of powerful knights, whom she loved greatly, but many died, and the rest went off on a quest for the grail. The only knight left is the Fisher King, an old man fisherman who prefers grunting to speaking. A druid worships her from afar, tending to the graves of her fallen knights; when pressed, he admits that he loves her. It seems as though every quest in the act is interconnected in some way.

Main quests within Act I can generally be completed in any order you like. For example, you can finish some or all of the Main Quests in Novigrad, then sail to Skellige, and then return to Velen. The way the quests are presented in this guide Velen, then Novigrad, then Skellige represent the optimal paths. Witcher Wiki Explore. Witcher Series. Explore Wikis Community Central.
