The clan system, some of the landscapes, the celtic names and references. Also, the voice actors have a strong Irish accent. But they are also mixed with Scandinavian elements: the viking spirit, some of the landscapes, some of the names. I think the islander mentality that skellige has is more Irish than Scandinavian.

England is a wet and cold place... - Rome was an empire like Nilfgaard, whereas medieval England was barely a kingdom. The medieval english army was pretty weak (medieval France beat Medieval England a lot - in fact, England should've been a French province ). England became "something" after the industrial revolution.

Enrico_sw Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It's interesting to see how Dandelion evolved throughout the series. He looks more and more feminine, for some reason. Also, his young voice makes him sound a little hysterical (I guess it's intended), while his older voice (the one in the loading screen) is really good, more serious and intense.

England became "something" after the industrial revolution. I can see the Roman influence on a second look. With the voice actors, they do use a lot of Irish ones instead of scandi ones. The Irish accent is far more distinctive and has more personality than nordic accents. The Hearts of Stone story and adventure is very moving. There are also multiple options to go with the final conversations with his wife (and multiple endings). They can be found on youtube. It seems to me that the final expansion is the bigger one and with new areas to explore. I remember watching this for some background info (on the folklore that inspired the expansion): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 @Prettyphile Which is your favorite part of the game (and expansions)? I have really played Blood & Wine yet, but Hearts of stone is my favorite so far. It seems to take place in some everlasting autumn, with dead leaves, orange/brown colors everywhere. It's filled with nostalgia and flames. I really like HoS' charcaters. CD Projekt are very good at making stories. ------ It's funny because HoS (and Velen/Novigrad) seems to be in some kind of everlasting autumn, Skellige is winter, Toussaint seems to be Summer, Kaer Morhen looks like spring (where kids become witchers). Or maybe I'm just imagining stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well this was quite a "short" expansion, but I enjoyed it a lot. In fact, it's one of my favorite parts of the game, so far). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I've just started playing Blood & Wine. It's good in terms of map, world, new creatures and new features, but dialogues (especially in English) are bad so far (it's just the beginning, but their caricature is annoying) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Pretty good one. I'm starting to like Blood & Wine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
