These "leaked documents" have been getting viral on social media. What makes them unusual is that if legit- and not Russian propaganda, they disclose a casualty leak on the Ukrainian armed forces. - Ukrainian combat units an average of 43-48% strength. - 191,000 casualties (KIA and WIA, not including MIA) for the Armed Forces of Ukraine These numbers are approx. what I expected. Minimum 200 killed a day for the first 162 days of the war is 32,400 dead, times 6 to include wounded and the sum total is 194,400 casualties. (KIA and WIA, no MIA) However I do not know if "AFU" includes territorial defense, national guard, and other Ukrainian paramilitary formations which constituted approx. half of pre-war land forces (320, 000) men.

This might be my favorite of all tracks in the game. It plays, and is perfectly matched with the Ciri ending of B & W. I see it as music for the ultimate triumph, happiness, and peace.

Sums up the situation IMHO Biden wants to trade her for this guy LOL: Viktor Bout - Wikipedia "On 2 November 2011, Bout was convicted by a jury in a Manhattan federal court of conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens and officials, delivery of anti-aircraft missiles, and providing aid to a terrorist organization, and was sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment."

This must have inspired the Ciri-Witcher ending option in W3, they even named one of the chapters in the game "Something ends, Something begins": "I know what you think," she said slowly. "You think I'm running away. And you're right." He was silent. He knew that. "Finally, after all these years, you're getting married - Yen and you. You deserve happiness and peace. A home. But that scares me, Geralt. That's why... I'm running away." He was silent. He remembered his own escapes. "I'll get going right after the feast," Ciri repeated. "I want... I want to feel the wind in my face on the back of a galloping horse again. I want to see the stars on the horizon again, I want to whistle Dandelion's ballads at night. I'm longing for a fight, the dance with a sword, I'm longing for the risk, for the delight victory brings me. And I'm longing for solitude. Do you understand me?" "Of course," he smiled sadly. "Of course I understand you, Ciri. You're my daughter, you're a witcher. You'll do what you must. But I must tell you one thing. One thing. You can't run away forever, even though you'll always try." "I know," she replied and cuddled herself closer to him. "I still have hope that one day... If I wait, if I'm patient, then I, too, perhaps will live such a beautiful day like this... Such a nice day... Even though..."

Farewell of the White Wolf is a Triumph! (147) Farewell Of The White Wolf [The Witcher 2 MOD] - YouTube This is the fan translation of "Something ends, Something begins", which is referenced at the end of W3 and is the inspiration behind this fan made expansion. Sapkowski is on record for saying that it isn't canon and was made for fun but the short story reveals his ideas behind a Geralt-Yenn wedding.

Farewell of the White Wolf is so peculiarly great that I want to watch the whole thing again. Goes to show that a couple real fans can match CDPR and massively outwrite a big budget Netflix TV show, that are staffed with writers and directors that aren't real fans. It would have been awesome if CDPR made this the 3rd and final expansion or if 'Farewell' came out in 2016 instead of 2020. I think a lot of people have missed it because it took 5 years to make. Game of Thrones book 1 is remarkably similar to Season 1. I am getting the feeling that Books 2 and 3 will be just like the show too.

(146) The Witcher: Farewell of the White Wolf - Geralt and Yennefer's Wedding | Full Walkthrough - YouTube 4:31 has good ending conversations and closures for several characters. (146) All Endings of Geralt and Yennefer's Wedding - Farewell of the White Wolf (The Witcher Epilogue Mod) - YouTube There are 3 main endings to the expansion. To sum things up these endings are must-sees for all fans and are superior to the ones in the novels/blood and wine. I struggle to choose a personal favorite. I would probably lean towards Corvo Bianco as the one I would choose. However the most emotional one for me is Season of Storms. Malus Island is the more mysterious and intriguing one. Season of Storms (based of the ending of the 8th novel) Malus Island (based on the ending of the 7th novel) Corvo Bianco (CDPR Blood and Wine ending)

In the book "Anatomy of a Story", the author writes that a truly great story leaves all pressing questions answered and all emotions fulfilled. With blood and wine I felt this sense of satisfaction but there were some gaps that I would have liked filled. This mod fills them. In particular the missing Wild Hunt questline and the final, expanded interactions with Yenn/Geralt at Corvo Bianco are vital stuff that the W3 didn't have. The 5% of content that I don't find necessarily canon are the 1. Hjalmar and Ciri Romance. 2. Galahad and Ciri Romance. 3. Eskel and Triss (it is either the beginning of a long term or short term romance. All 3 romances don't get much screentime but are poignant for the small amount of content allocated to them. Obviously, given the great scope of the expansion the team didn't expand these areas to a degree that would be typical in the CDPR games. To make the Hjalmar and Ciri work, the Hjalmar character has to be expanded much beyond his personality in W3, and the player must be convinced that adventures of Hjalmar and Ciri could really work. This would literally require a big side quest to establish. The same thing with Galahad. His relationship with Ciri must have an entire big side quest too. Both are missing from the expansion so both romances fall flat. The Eskel and Triss romance (or hookup?) makes sense as far as Eskel is a nice, reasonable guy and Triss is a nice too. However there is always the shadow of Geralt, it is obvious that Eskel is a number two despite Triss/Eskel living at Kaer Mohan for so long in the books and the games. Eskel also does not have anywhere the depth of relationship that Geralt and Triss have together. I can accept this as a hook-up or even a short-term romance but definitely not a long one. This brings a final gap that the expansion doesn't address- a Triss and Geralt wedding option. Ultimately the team that made this would have to double their work if they included both Ciri romances, and the Triss marriage for all the Triss fans, so they chose to do only the Yennefer option (book friendly lore).

The mod ends at Corvo Bianco. A marvelous 3rd expansion to the game. For me it is 95% canon, it's that good. I think all fans of the Witcher should watch this after they finish Blood and Wine. It enriches the experience and gives full closure to all of it. It is approx. 7 hours of additional story with gameplay sections for party activities and flashbacks. The expansion starts up with a stag night, then a wedding day, and the day after- with flashbacks throughout. The team that made this was truly passionate about the subject and put a lot of soul into this work. The writing here is easily as good as some of CDPR's material and most of all, it makes sense. Loose ends that remained after blood and wine are plugged here with more story.

Wow. just wow. They wrote the missing pre Witcher 1/3 post-novels questline with Yenn/Geralt being captured by the Wild Hunt, Yenn's trek with Letho, and Geralt as a prisoner of a Wild Hunt. It is terrific and is really well made. This was the only quest that was missing from the games. Instead CDPR just alluded to it with dialogue and pictures. (146) Farewell Of The White Wolf Episode 11 : The Last Sacrifice - YouTube (146) Farewell Of The White Wolf Episode 12 : Beauty & The Viper - YouTube I really like the expanded role Dandelion gets in this expansion, which is consistent with his roles in the games and the books as Geralt's biographer. The bromance is real here. I enjoyed the stag night, the whole thing is very fun. Zoltan is one of Geralt's most underrated bros. He was with him in all 3 games and always delivers good company.
