Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

It's not just Song Ren. In fact, there are many players who are attracted by various elements after entering the game.

After all, the narrative pace of "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" is slow, just like "Red Dead Redemption".

But there is one difference, that is, although "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" is also an open world mode, it is still a game built on the RPG framework.

Quests, map exploration, and the main storyline are still unavoidable.

Although players can also go to Novigrad and the Skellige Islands in the early stage, they are limited by the level of the characters in the game, which still limits some exploration content for players.

However, in addition to the special little gameplay of Gwent, what actually makes players more amazed is the shaping of the world view in the game.

From the interconnected tasks in Baiguoyuan, players can have a simple understanding of the political situation.

Obviously this is what Chen Xu wants to achieve, which is to create a real chaotic era.

This is an era of frequent wars, with the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Empire competing for the status of unified hegemony.

In such a social tone, the game chooses to let players play Geralt, and the main task is not to directly participate in changes in the political situation, but to let players find their beloved daughter.

But it is this side-neutral angle that allows players to feel the realism of the world depicted in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

From the opening to Willen, there are no exaggerated scenes, nor are there any thrills like blockbusters.

Except for the griffin battle, it can be said to be very peaceful.

But it unexpectedly gives people a sense of reality. This sense of reality permeates every detail of the game environment, every side mission, and every line of dialogue between characters, allowing players to feel this. The world is full of energy.

………………

With the completion of some side missions in Velen, Song Ren also began to be exposed to the main plot of the game and felt the charm of the game.

According to the previous plan, White Wolf went to a village in Wellen to meet with imperial agents and inquire about news about Ciri.

But when White Wolf arrived, he found that he was already a step too late. The imperial agent had been tortured to death by the Wild Hunt. However, in the ledger in the cellar, White Wolf found the ledger that the agent had hidden. There was Ciri in it. Clues related to the message.

The clues point to two people, one is a witch in a local village, and the other is the leader of the Temerian deserters who is king in Mount Willenzhan, and is called the 'Bloody Baron' by the local people.

Song Renzhu went to the witch before, but when he got there, he discovered that the witch was not the so-called village witch but an old acquaintance of his, a member of the sorceress assembly: Keira.

At the same time, Song Ren also learned more about the relevant background of the game from Keira's mouth.

Under the rule of Emhyr the Great, the southern empire Nilfgaard invaded wildly, and the only northern kingdom capable of competing with the empire was Redania, ruled by Radovid.

When Nilfgaard attacked Temeria, Redania launched a blitzkrieg to annex its neighboring countries, and cooperated with the church called the Eternal Fire to reorganize the church's armed force "Witch Hunters", crazy They persecuted groups of sorcerers and non-human races, used this to confiscate their homes and property, supported high military expenditures, and withstood Nilfgaard's attack.

As a sorceress, Keira came to the countryside of Wellen to live in seclusion in order to avoid being persecuted by the witch hunters of the Church of Eternal Fire. She pretended to be a witch and used her magic power to survive temporarily.

However, since they were acquaintances, it was much easier to communicate. Facing Geralt's questioning, Keira did not hide anything and generously told the White Wolf what she knew. There was indeed a strange person who had contacted her, but it was not Ciri. But an elf mage wearing a mask.

Next, she took the white wolf to the underground ruins where the elf mage was hiding. Here she also collided with the Wild Hunt, and the two sides had a big fight.

Even though it was a normal difficulty, Song Ren still felt a kind of pressure.

He has always relied on gourmets to restore his health, but facing the Wild Hunt soldiers, his health bar could not be restored at all.

"This Wild Hunt is so fierce! This is just a small soldier. If it were the last boss of the Wild Hunt, how fierce would it be!?" Song Ren thought of the Lich King-like Wild Hunt leader in Geralt's dream at the beginning. Sent a sigh of relief.

After a great battle, it was discovered that the elf mage was no longer here, leaving only a video message that seemed to remind Ciri, telling him that the witch in the Humpback Swamp could not be trusted.

So Keira's clue was interrupted, but then Song Ren also accepted a side mission from the sorceress and went to the middle of the lake to lift the curse in the Rat Tower.

And this subplot also made Song Ren sigh with emotion. The subplot is not very long, but it shows a dark and beautiful feeling.

In order to resist the invasion of the Nilfgaardians, the original lord of Velen abandoned the crow's nest and came to the island in the middle of the lake, and reached an agreement with the mage to study the plague virus.

But Annabeth, the lord's daughter, fell in love with Graham, a vendor who often delivered fish to the island. Later, a group of robbers bewitched Graham and asked him to take them to the island. Then these people killed all the people on the island. They were all slaughtered, but they accidentally allowed the plague to spread.

At that time, Annabeth drank a potion from the mage, putting herself into a state of suspended animation, but when she woke up, the plague virus had killed everyone, leaving only countless rats, and she was also thankfully killed. The rats bit her to death. She was obviously still alive but her lover Graham was nowhere to be seen. Her strong resentment turned her into a plague banshee.

As for the way to deal with her, it is very simple, that is to find the source Graham.

After White Wolf explained the whole story, Graham chose to go to the Mouse Tower with White Wolf.

When Annabeth asked if he still loved her and was willing to kiss her, Graham didn't hesitate at all.

"Fuck! This..." Looking at the scene of Graham and the long-tongued skull in the game, the Plague Banshee who is no worse than the brain-sucking monster in Bloodborne gives her life to lift the curse with a loving kiss, Song Ren was immediately shocked, but at the same time he was also embarrassed.

But what surprised him even more was the subsequent plot of Keira.

Helped Keira come into contact with the curse of the Mouse Tower, but Keira still asked Geralt to help her collect some messy things.

After completing the task, Keira invited Geralt to have a unique candlelight and red wine dinner in the forest late at night.

Of course, dinner is not the focus. The real focus is the after-dinner activities.

'romantic? I thought it was just a gathering of friends. ’ Geralt looked at Keira and shook his head slightly.

‘Friends…but with a little benefit, how about that? ’ Keira said meaningfully.

At the same time, a UI interface with options appeared in front of Song Ren.

[No need to ask me twice]

【Not interested in】

[Sorry, I have someone else]

Could it be! Could it be!

As an experienced driver, Song Ren understood instantly.

But he still chose the third option with difficulty.

"Don't be like this, Geralt is a good man. I already have Yennefer." Song Ren said in his mouth.

'so what? Geralt, Geralt, are you too old-fashioned? Why don't you at least lie down and watch the stars with me? ’ Keira smiled.

'Well...that's okay. ’ Geralt also showed a little smile.

'real? Then close your eyes and count to ten...' Keira smiled and put down the glass, and Geralt did the same.

After the ten count was over, Song Ren could no longer see the shadow of Kayla in front of his eyes.

Following the system prompts, Song Ren turned on the witcher's vision and followed the footprints on the ground for a while. Then what did he see?

'skirt? It looks like we're going to be playing a game of Big Bad Wolf catching Little Red Riding Hood instead of hide and seek. ’

'Corset? Great, that way you don't have to unbutton it. ’

'shoe? Oh no, she should have kept the shoes. ’

Controlling Geralt's progress, Song Ren looked at the clues on the ground and listened to Geralt's lines. He was dumbfounded.

What is this scenario! ? What a terrible line!

Geralt, why have you changed like this?

Is this your nature? ?

Soon Geralt found Keira by the lake.

‘I have nothing on me now, but I will definitely give you a prize. ’

Following Keira's words, Geralt in the game slowly walked forward.

"Damn it! This...is there really such a plot!?"

"Geralt! You are a witcher, not a sorceress hunter!"

Song Ren's eyes widened.

Although it was only an edited scene, it was enough to shock him.

He now understands why this game requires real-name authentication!
