@@fatetaker4507 Was that a pun? XD
One of the best cutscenes in gaming
Thank you Dolan Dark, very cool!
the fuck are you doing here
Oh it’s Dolan Dark
the best
True!!
I fucking cried at this part
Zuul Be yeah ;( FEEELZ
Zuul Be last time i cried that much were when my dad died a year ago
this game is just beautiful
Yep me too
Zuul Be my heart skipped a beat when i saw ciri look lifeless.. even geralt was about to cry
Zuul Be Me too :D
I'm not gonna cry... I'm not gonna cry...
*Geralt holds Ciri and rocks her*
*Cries a lot*
I tear up even reading the comment. As a parent you rock your kids so many times as a way to assure them that everything is OK, as it turns out .. we also do it to assure us that everything is OK. The though, one day .. it might not be hit's hard and deep.
After 80+ hours of gameplay, I finally reached this scene. It's one of the most powerful moments in gaming I've ever experienced. I knew Ciri couldn't be dead, but it was still absolutely heartbreaking to see Geralt, usually a stone-faced badass, overcome with such heavy sadness. And the 10 minutes afterwards with the two of them just talking in the cabin was a really warm, enjoyable scene. Man, I love this game.
I don't know why but for me the most powerful moment in the witcher 3 is when Geralt tells the dreams woman in Novigrad that he died alongside Yennefer and Ciri took them to a place where apples never fall or trees die. I don't know why but I had some kind of emotional breakdown at that point cause Geralt was so into telling this memory and it was death
Also, I didn't give a shit about the wild hunt, I used every dialogue option in the cabin with Ciri ^^
I was so pissed when those dwarf asked me to look for his friends and i rushed through everything to see ciri
80+ hours in I was at this point too and figured I had reached the end of the story because... 80 hours and I'm not even done with the main story?! Turns out I wasn't even half way done and loved it! xD
Only 80 hours? , i reached this scene today and i was already at 129 hours
What makes this scene so emotional and powerful is Geralt's reaction. Thoughout the entire game, Geralt never really shows any emotion, especially in his body language and facial expressions. But the moment he turns Ciri over, his pain is as clear as day, and is simply overwhelming to witness.
travis kerns "Witcher is stripped of emotions" or i believe he did say that in some dialogues, and this scene proves that the love is great enough for a witcher to shiver
+The Hell Angel Geralt is the only Witcher that couldn't have his emotions taken away from him; however because he's a Witcher, people expect him to be coldhearted, and thus they treat him as a coldhearted bastard, so eventually he figured that he might as well begin acting like one if everyone had already decided for him...
It's hard to be a kind person and get treated terribly due to false expectations. It got to him. The first time he left Kaer Morhen he saved a woman and her father from a bandit attack. Instead of thanking him they got angry at him for killing the bandits. He vowed to never help another person ever again. Yen and Ciri pulled him out of that attitude. As bad as Yen was for him often in the books, she was very good at getting him to act like his true self.
+travis kerns
That's well said, Travis. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the only time he shows that kind of emotion in the entire trilogy...which is why that scene is so damn powerful.
No, what makes this scene so emotional is the dusty bed and the dead tree outside the door... Of course it's ploughin' Geralt's reaction! Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
he did show some emotion sometimes but this was indeed powerful. I also was pained when he recalled his death with the oneiromancer
Couldn't hold it in when he started rocking her.
That one hit me as well.
I haven't even llayed the game yet. And it still got me
Yeah me neither. That nut just had to bust
@@user-vh7ks8px3s This comment has brought me the most amusing smile ive had all week
Ninjas cutting onions
The great White Wolf, so afraid to open a door...
***** Nothing is more frightening than the thought of losing a loved one.
+burningfajitasalt The father is afraid to see his daughter dead.(Ofc i read all the books and know, that he is not her bilogical father)
+Elizabeth DeWitt Ciri is Child of destiny for Geralt.
you guys need to read the comment again from another perspective. He is no mocking Geralt.
+Elizabeth DeWitt You don't need to read the books to know that
This really hits the heart, Geralt the always stoic badass, who everyone assumes has no conscious morality or emotions, rocking her like a father who's just lost his child....
The mutations strip witchers from emotions. At least to some degree.
@@alexandert696 that's a myth to make people feel better about treating them like shit. Geralt just isn't that emotional, but you look at Lambert, Haskel, and Ves and tell me they clearly aren't more emotional people.
Nick Elakon plus of course Witcher’s are more introverted being outcasts to society almost their whole lives
My heart fucking shattered when he first looked at the hut with the news of her, and stopped in front of the door. The devs on this game did an exceptional job of conveying the agony and heartbreak of this scene. Taking it slowly, all the nuances of Geralt's reactions, it made me feel like i was actually him and that he was afraid to open the door and see inside yet knowing he must. All this time of hunting Ciri down so desperately and he finds this. I cried my fucking eyes out.
k.
seeing Geralt, the supposedly emotionless monster slayer so fucked and devastated was incredibly heartbreaking alright... tears were shed... sigh
Absolutely. I took a screenshot of the part where he's standing in the doorway and she's across the room. Something about the way the light illuminates the two of them in that dark room, with all the space in between, was really beautiful. All his hesitation, the way he reacts when he turns her over. It was really well done. This game never stops being incredible.
@@adamanderson7761 - That whole scene was epic and that frame started the floodgates. I'm done blaming chopping onions.
This scene hits even harder because it is the first time that we see Geralt, the stoic grumpy hero who never surrenders who always finds a way, break. Even when Triss or Yen were endangered we never saw this side of him. We always only saw the strong witcher, almost stripped of emotions and with that in mind it is even more shocking to see him lose it. Geralt was always the guy who would stay calm, you could always rely on him that he would not do stupid things due to his emotions, he always has himself together and focused. To see him break like that is scary and makes him so much more human at the same time...
true, especially the bad ending where he just gives up and dies in depression, torn by monsters.
Strongest moment in a video game ever.
And in netflix
Its all coz all the effort we made ingame to find her. Film or TV series can't give you that experience coz you don't have to do anything to see what happens. Still, I think TW3 has too much cutsceens and I feel like I'm not in control and just watching stupid interactive movie at times.
@@ScienceDiscovererinteractive movie? Dude this is an rpg game
I had a fucking heart attack no literally I dropped my controller, stood up and was shouting "No!" continuously. I spent more than 90 hours searching for her, like, it's even longer than when they found me after I got lost in the street as a kid. But more importantly, seeing her lay there cold as ice like that, the great Geralt of Rivia who claimed to be stripped of emotions, collapsed on his feet like that, man...
This game I tell ya.
I've played this game 4 times thru now, still get watery eyes at this scene
Joshua Bemerlick lmao. I cant stop laughing at this comment. This is great. I dont think Ive ever seen a negative comment about the Witcher 3. Thats how you know its special.
I willnot lie ...I cried like a baby ....
MrMilkyCoco Grammar Nazi reporting for duty, I won't lie.. I cried like a baby...
Lol thanks in reality you wouldn't even have to use the "..." and by the way, I will not is just a formal way of saying I won't -_-
MrMilkyCoco i just prefered the shorter version i won't
MrMilkyCoco Like. A. Baby.
This scene was too much for my weak heart to handle. And it's not even sad.
Cried again at the ending.
Damn, I'm so soft.
MrMilkyCoco we all did...
This scene...this scene broke me.
2:42 God, the way Geralt stands up and steps back destroys me
I feel you.. I almost cried
For a moment my heart stopped beating. What a game,what a story.
I can only imagine how powerful this scene must've been for long time fans of the books.
it was crushing I tell ya
Peter Hanson i went into denial mode when i reached this part "the games are not canon anyway ciri can't be dead" *alt-f4*
it destroyed me, I was breathless for the whole duration of him walking up to her and standing beside her. I totally broke down when he turned her around and realized that despite all the efforts he made, it just wasn't enough. The way he looked at her, the way he moved, I could relate to everything he did and I just broke down. By the time he was rocking her I was literally chocking in tears. I can't recall crying this hard for something. It utterly broke me.
That flash back is straight out of the books if I'm not mistaken it's the moment at the end of the sword of destiny
I was so emotional in the first place but then THAT FLASHBACK and suddenly all the emotions of the books started pouting in as well, Jesus, it was perfect and heartbreaking at the same time.
2:43 - crying like a baby at this moment.
+Montefires222 the emotion in Geralt's face is heartbreaking, i got choked up
+Fruitwizard after 40 hours into this game and the first emotion Geralt shows is his sorrow. I just can't even.
+Montefires222 Been there Done that.
+Montefires222 * THE TEARS WERE REAL!
+Bera Mora Same. I couldn't control my tears. Then I watch it again on youtube and the tears flowed again.
woah. the animators for this part did such an impressive job..the music, movement, everything. So emotional
Thank you;)
sentinalchocobo You are welcome :')
wanderer xkr you actually worked on this? mad respect
Reanimathor kudos to you and the rest of the team if you worked on this ^ ^
hmm let's see Dwarves, sleeping beauty, a man who loves her... yup it's snow white alright
JOR VIll I wish Snow White was badass monster hunter.
JOR VIll except he's kind of her father...
hollywood love doesn't always mean you have to bang her and i also know that and i meant he loves her as a father loves his daughter
JOR VIll
yeah but we were talking about snow white
hollywood It's not exactly the same, but it's still similar.
Best cutscene ever. Holding back tears even after getting best ending possible and knowing that she's happy. It just seems alien without her. This reunion and the background music... Stunning
+Ciri Witcher 4. Geralt can take the place of Vezemir and Ciri can be the new Geralt.
That would be fucking fantastic with her teleporting powers. A lot of my favourite Witcher moments were her gameplay moments.
would have been better if not for those stupid steel gauntlets and plate armor.
ArbiterDan Yeah
***** If you go on the other vids and find my comment about a possible witcher 4 you will see
Hmm... 7 dwarves, one is sleepy, one sneezes and one was clumsy. Pale girl asleep... WAIT A MINUTE! I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!
The Elephant of Doom The Witcher series has a ton of references to fairy tales. Beauty and the Beast, Ariel, the 6 swans, Snow white, Cinderella...
Yeah, it's totally a Jack and Jill reference... :D
+pateuvasiliu where was the beauty and the beast?
+John Barley In books. There is one long story about a guy changed into hairy monster by some spell, living in huge empty palace in the middle of forest. But it was clearly 18+ version ;) like all in the Witcher series.
+The Elephant of Doom The Witcher both in games and books shows their version of famous fairytales, basically what would happen in certain tales were set in the Witcher's universe. For example there is a reference to Cinderella in the game, and Geralt says he know the actual version of the story: Cinderella was eaten by Zeugl, and the only thing that was left of her was her little shoe...
When the dwarf said: "Must've passed shortly before we found her." I nearly threw my controller across the room. I seriously thought Ciri was dead, and seeing Geralt's face when he believes Ciri is dead made me start to cry. But when she woke up, and there was the scene of the younger Geralt and Ciri running towards each other, I lost it. I woke my sister up because I couldn't stop crying.
Had same reaction and it t still gets me..thx for posting this.
If you have noticed, there were 5 dwarfs leaving the hut + 2 dead....it’s snow white and the seven dwarfs.
@@thanawesa - I did notice! Fantastic Easter eggs in this game.
@@thanawesa And the name of the Sleepy dwarf is the same as in Snow White.
I have been gaming for 25 years. Played Deus ex, last of us, journey to name a very few. Nothing comes close to this Emotionally Powerful moment i have experienced in Gaming till date. Kratos killing Zeus, Joel loosing his daugther, killing first dragon in skyrim, ending of journey, limbo ending. This Moment surpasses it all. I am a tough person, sometimes very emotional movies make me cry but never any game. This made me cry every time i watch it. The musical score in incredibly ridiculously good. The setting is perfect. Timing exceptional. I got to this scene after 100 hours into the game. I was shocked to see her. But the relief i got was insane like some divine intervention. This is probably the greatest game i have played. Just ahead of Last of Us.
They really done good on this one..if this game was a movie it would of got a Oscar.
@@joeylatz9721 THe problem is that this game IS a movie. Gameplay is not good enough. That's why its not THE BEST GAME YOU EVER PLAYED. Its best INTERACTIVE MOVIE you ever watched.
Have to say that Geralt's face at 3:32 is the one frame that totally got me. How far have video games come, when you can express so complex with just one facial expression...Hands down the best scene I have ever encountered in a video game. Kudos to CDPR
lol. no one has seen actual gameplay footage of cyberpunk yet. only a cgi. should have said, it will look amazing
for me it whas when ciri hugged back. but mord than graphics thats the genius storytelling
Tell me about it!
And who would know 2017 someone would release a game called Mass Effect Andromeda =/
and his face after battle of Kaer Morhen, where he saw Vesemir.
CDPR totally didn't spare any expense in face animation
God, same. Every moment in this scene is pure charm but that look from Geralt tipped me over.
Dat armor, God why.
makes me puke see people wearing this sh1t were there are epic witcher gears waiting to be crafted :(
That filthy armor ruins the damn scene
That's because they want to rush the game as fast as possible. I payed slow, took my time, Ended up at level 37 with my mastercrafted Ursine Armour.
For real, I mean the scene was awesome but it popped in my head, what the hell are they wearing? Haha video game fashion snobs lol. But you right, by that point in the game if you weren't rushing through it just to beat it as quick as possible you should def have some mastercrafted Witcher gear, I mean you are supposed to be legendary even among Witchers,not wearing some ragtag clown looking shiz. I think I opted for Mastercrafted Feline gear because of how it stacked attack and crits but it looked damn nice too, esp on maxxed pc
Colin Harvey Geralt in books wore only leather jacket for max mobility, and they show always trash metal gear on videos :v
This was a moment when i realized that i still have feelings.
"A witcher can forget to eat, to drink, to breathe, even, but a witcher never, ever forgets to care for his blade."
Most beautiful line in the entire game
Matti2609 which makes Geralt care for Vesemir’s sword after he finds him.
Can we just acknowledge what buttholes those dwarves were? They make him jump through hoops just to meet them, then for all they know he just lost someone super close to him and they almost immediately steal his boat and strand him on a monster filled island rather than wait like 10 minutes
at least you have the opportunity to get revenge on them on the epilogue :D.
Blaze Rom wait you can?? How?
You've allowed me to get closure on the last piece of the Witcher 3's ending. Thank you kindly
I would also like to know how.
Adum Larp you can bump into them in Novigrad or Velen and decide their fate.
The scene was so emotional... if we would see Geralt shed a tear here it would have been perfect, I would cry my heart out
oryshkat i believe at some point when questing Geralt says he cant shed tears cuz of all the mutations. Not sure how true it is but i remember him saying that.
I thought So much, but the mutations supposedly keep him from having emotions, yet he can romance women and he truly loves and cares about Ciri.
oryshkat
The lack of emotions thing is a joke.
oryshkat True. I wish Naughty Dog contributed in this scene.
oryshkat Well reffering to the books (and the polish tv series), Geralt was the only Witcher that they could not remove emotions from, so although they tried they couldn't do it so Geralt still has some emotions unlike other witchers; Geralt can't cry because the mutagens have changed something with their eyes (can't remember what exactly) and the side effect was that they could not cry.
I remember reading somewhere that some journalist/blogger guy claimed Geralt never shows any emotions beyond anger and cynicism.
He clearly never got this far.
He also must've never even beaten White Orchard (Geralt's obviously shocked and happy to see Yennefer, and there's several later conversations in Vizima immediately following where Geralt can effectively declare parental protectiveness, love, and palpable romantic awkwardness and regret. But that's beside the point).
ISchulz
In scene "battle of kaer morhen" Geral say: "I can´t cry, i don´t know how"
Soo at least thi is how he can´t feel emotion,
ISchulz Actually, witchers are trained not to show any emotion, so it's quite normal that Geralt doesn't show off anything except when he feels something really powerful and extreme: like anger, disdain, nostalgia or, in this case, love.
***** In polish he says it better "I wish I could cry". It gives out even more emotions.
You got bad information. There are other witchers in the book that retain the capacity for love, but they are rare (other witchers in the game aren't supposed to be as colorful as they are). The Trial of Grasses does kill emotions per se (though the books trend this way), but its better to think of it as extreme emotional states. You'll never see a witcher break down and start crying. You'll never see a witcher paralyzed by fear. Being humored or pissed doesn't cause them to be irrational. It's part of what makes them such great killers and so fearsome. Now, as for the White Wolf, his trial of grasses didn't go the same as everyone else's, leaving him with a more intact emotional self (along with bleaching his hair and other pigment things, he was given a lot more mutagens than normal) , capable of what you see and more susceptible to moral dilemmas (the killing monsters trailer, for example, shows well how Geralt differs from other witchers that would have just gotten paid and moved on). Geralt's failure (or aberrant mutation) during the trial of grasses works because, despite how hard he rails against fate (geralt really hates the idea of fate) no other witcher could have formed such a bond to the child of destiny, even though he tried pawning Ciri off more than once when she was a child, after her grandmothers kingdom fell. In the end, this scene was done beautifully for people who have no clue what the law of surprise is and those that know how the law of surprise with Duny and Yurga kept bringing Ciri and Geralt back together.
that damn wiggling knife almost killed the moment.
i bet Gerald was never found it so hard to breath when he walked in, and never was so scared when he turned her back
+Ngoc Y Le >Gerald
Really?
Such a powerful scene, most emotional I've ever seen.
Ciri must be the best written female character in many years..total badass and believable
I'm still playing and nearing the end, but this cut scene is my favourite by far. Geralt's overwhelmed self as he realises it's really Ciri lying there, his shakes and wobble of grief as he collapses by her side, holding her close and then that scene in the meadow where he comes to find Ciri's younger child self and finally that powerful embrace! So poignant, accompanied by the perfect music
*****
Actually it is a scene when they meet for a second time, at the merchant's home. Their first meeting in Brokilon surely wasn't like this :D
Shika Humoresque i never thought that a game can make me cry..last time i ALMOST cried was Mass effect 3 ending...but with this witcher scene...i f ing cried like if someone of my family died
Shika Humoresque goddamnit...again...
***** I think the reference is really to his second encounter with her at the merchant's house south of the Yaruga. The achievement you unlock after this bit is called "Something More", the title of that story; the one in Brokilon is called "The Sword of Destiny". Be it as it may, it was a great choice for a truly powerful scene.
I'm 34 year old men...this scen gives me tears:((a master peace...
One of the most epic scenes in the history of gaming.
Anybody who says that she/he didn't cry on this scene is a fucking liar. Witcher 3's a fucking masterpiece.
well, I usually skip a lot of the dialogue, don't usually skip this, but one space and the whole scene is gone. Didn't cry tho. Amazing game.
+Hanna Michel It would have been more impactful if they didn't show Ciri's dead face immediately. It'd be better if she was shown dead after Geralt rolled her over. I probably would have cared more
cenasux115 well witcher is unable to cry. Geralt said that himself :)
cenasux115 I didn't cry because I already watched this scene 😂😂😂and I didn't even play the game when I watched the scene but I've been playing the game for 3 days and I'm in novigrad but I still didn't cry because ik that she was already alive
I cried the first time I saw this scene and I've cried in every replay since then. The Witcher 3 is a masterpiece and my favorite game ever.
I'd do anything to remove my memory of this game so i could replay it
Despize Ultra ooh me too. Me too
I made my wife swear to have me play this game right after lost all my memories
I never had a father, nor a dad, but this game had such an impact on me. In fact such an impact that i see Geralt as the father i'd like to be. I know it sounds sad, but i want to love my daughter or son just as much as he does, and give them everything the same as Geralt has done. Oh god, i'm in a pool of my own tears. Damn game.
This is fucking true even after 3 years later.
@@alexa.davronov1537 I always come back to this video, it just always emotionally moves me. I balled the first few times; my eyes still get watery after like the 20th viewing.

It's strange to see a video game with such good cinematography
not that strange. Many games made me cry, much more than movies actually. You invest more of your emotions in a game you like maybe
Game does not need cinematography. If you want cinematography go watch movie. Games need gamplay, and TW3's gameplay is lacking.
@@ScienceDiscoverer Games these days aren't just about gameplay, and you can enjoy them for a number of different reasons, that's what's important, and Witcher 3 gameplay isn't bad in the first place
One whole year. One whole fucking year and i still cry at this. Witcher 3 is hands down the best single player game i've EVER played. Geralt's face at 3:31 could not have been more perfectly done. Well done CDPR, you have gained a life long fan until the day i die.
Perfect example of how you don't need words to invoke emotion. Compare this to Darth Vader in Revenge of the SIth's silly "Noooooo!". Nuance and capturing how something would be in real life is key. One of the most memorable best done scenes ever in a game...
The music makes these scenes even better, its perfect.
for those who wonder: the scene starting at 3:33 is the scene in the last short story "Something more" before the main series begins. Reading those last 2 pages is even more tear-producing than this.
I just finished reading Sword of Destiny. Oh my god, this scene just became 10 times more emotional. Just..No words
Very powerful scene, nothing has made me cry harder, I legitly fucking chocked in tears. God damn you CDPR ! Very well executed, all those emotions were perfectly conveyed. His hesitation to enter the hut, his hesitation to turn her around, the face of realization, the reunion with the scene from Sword of Destiny, just fucking amazing. It's no wonder this game has gotten so many prizes they eventually ran out of prizes to give.
I've had this game for years, never came around to playing it. Just got here last night. My mind was blown, couldn't hold the tears in. Most emotional moment I've ever had in gaming.
Ciri is amazing! I was thinking to myself why does she sound like female Hawke from Dragon Age.. They share the same voice actress Jo Wyatt 😀
Fuck this scene.
Especially when Geralt was rocking her back and forth. I can only imagine the words he was saying. The fucking inability to weep. Maybe wishing it was him instead?
I'd have killed myself if I found out all I ever cared about died. Doesn't help that I have a crush on Ciri. Would've hanged myself like the Bloody Baron. Sidenote, that was a very intriguing storyline too.
Watching the worst ending in the game where Ciri dies because of self doubt and Geralt goes to the Crones to grab Ciri's medallion and pretty much breaks down while being surrounded by all manner of monsters is currently taking an emotional toll on me.
Whole day today I've been feeling sad as shit. Couldn't do work. Lack of sleep didn't help either.
I fucking HATE and LOVE this game.
I should just stick to games with subpar storylines so I don't get all emotionally invested in characters.
FUCK me.
Fuck you CDPR for making a very very captivating storyline and game!
there are multiple endings just try another time and change your ways. try to thelp as much people as you can and the endingwilll be different
Oh, no doubt I know about those.
My actual ending was that Ciri became a Witcher.
But simply watching the worst ending was depressing as shit..
Jorge Vicente You're lucky... My real ending WAS the one where Ciri and Geralt die... I went back 9 hours to an earlier save and was able to get the one where she becomes a Witcher, but it still haunts me...
No worries Dylan.
I watched the horrible ending and i was affected like crazy too.
saw the worse ending too. didn't affect me much since I've seen something that's on the same level or even far worse than the ending but hell it did made me want to cry.
I have never shed tears in a game before.....that scene feels like a kick in my manliness. Gotta go and lift some weights
03:32 Witcher S01e08 finally satisfied
Revisiting this scene 6 months after finishing the game. What a game. What art is this. Game of the decade.
Ciri is the most beautiful woman of The Witcher, besides being sexy only with those green eyes.
J. Fazzoni her tight leather pants are so sexy
assface941 Yes very sexy, the Triss fans that I'm sorry, more Ciri is the most beautiful!

2:44 that grimace on his face. heart-wrenching since we've known Geralt to be so stoic of a person. such a genius subtle detail added by the devs
I just had to watch this scene again after just witnessing it. I've never cried so hard for a video game character.
this part maid me cried, and i am a men,very powerful scene,it crushed me when gerald opens the door and ciri was liyng....I was thoughtless to what the dwarves said,the gestures ...incredibile
Oggy Ren made, cry, man (it's now weird for men to cry), geralt, lying. gesture?
It was such a relief to find her after 40 hours of game play
The OST in Witcher 3 is just outstanding... especially in this scene! Absolutely perfect and so full of emotion!
When I played this bit. I started to cry because this game made me care about the caracters.
and the way geralt hugs her :( it was one of the most emotional parts of this game for me
this is the best scene In the game :D
The song is "Ciri Welcome".
Reanimathor Thank you!!!
thanks I cry even harder now
Damn you Geralt! You just had to cut the onions.
Idc what anyone says, this is the most beautiful scene in gaming history. Ever.
The true feeling is coming from Geralt reaction. Come on everyone knew Ciri was never dead but the reaction of Geralt is the true emotional part
***** i argree, the thing is we all know that Ciri is not dead, but the scene...this FUCKING SCENE!
And legends says withers do not feel. This proves it wrong, at least in Geralt's case.
Im a big ass grown man but i cried the shit out of me in this part.
This scene never fails to make me cry. I’ve read the books seen the gameplay, hexer and both seasons of the Netflix show. The love this man has for his adopted daughter is on a whole other level. Geralt loves Ciri more than anything and anyone in their universe. I just love them both so much.
The most devastating and heart breaking moment I've ever seen in games. The last one which I clearly remember was in Bioshock Infinite ending.
Still remember it. Knowing what happened in books makes me feeling this even stronger.
Not gonna lie, It's unusual to me to feel such a strong sadness toward fictional characters and crying over them but this time it is a complete exception.
The song is called _Wolf And The Swallow_ in the official OST. Just look for it. Crying every time when I listen to it. It invokes so emotional moments of the game and my life.
Can't hold tears. Clearly on par with "Go Your Way" trailer.
Not gonna lie, this scene really got to me. The body language and music set up the moment brilliantly with Geralt's grief conveyed without spoken dialogue. The subsequent relief was also well done though not as well as said earlier sequence. More games should have moments where dialogue isn't necessary to convey emotions and this was the scene that finally convinced me to buy Witcher 3.
One of the most beautiful scenes in this game! Witcher 3 is the first game after The Last of Us that contains those very little and soft details in the characters facial expressions which perfectly describe their fealings to the player. In a way that no words or hysterical crying is needed to make the player sympathize. At least that's how the game appeared to me. Great game!
The diversion used by leaving her body without her soul is genius.
First four minutes of this is the most feelsing thing in the history of video games.
If you read “ Sword of Destiny” book, you will understand this scene better
Just came across this in the game. I knew Ciri wasn't dead but even then when Geralt started rocking her, it perfectly depicted the reaction of a father who is so overcome with the grief of losing his daughter that he is just stunned and wants to hold her and not let death take her... man, I couldn't hold back the tears.
And then the callback scene to their first ever interaction... just perfect.
I managed to hold it together until Geralt picked Ciri up and started to rock her, then I absolutely lost it. He's so stoic usually, that seeing him lose it like that and show so much emotion in such a tender gesture was so heart breaking
Best scene in a game ever...
The same can be said if you get the ending when Siri dye..
A truly amazing game :)
24 years old man and i was crying like a bitch.Well good job CDPR
My heart neraly broke when I thought ciri was dead ... Thanks CD Projekt Red.
Been playing video games for about 17 years and no game has ever made me cry... until now. Holy shit the feels.
the flashback to Geralt and Siri in the fields is a reference to the final scene in "The Sword of Destiny" book. This scene was considerably more impactful on my second play-through, after reading the first couple of books.
One of the best scenes in gaming history. The 40 hour or so buildup to this moment was so worth it.
Agreed. But it was more like 25 hours with a lil bit of side quests and exploring.
I did every side quest and exploring, got to this at 90+ hours
100+ on first time, 160+ on second :>
Netflix The Witcher last episode brought me here. Damn now I understood that flashback
5 years on and this scene still wrecks havoc on my heart 😭
Truly such a powerful scene, so poignant with the build up of the music with the flashback and that loving embrace. Love love LOOOOVE IT, even now. Miss scenes like this in games :(
It's so satisfying to see that moment in the show. Beautifully nailed it.
The feels you get with this scene are stronger if you read the books... I'm telling you guys. Every gameplayer should experience read them and experience it as a whole.
+Patryk Rębisz I believe u have already beaten the game. I read the whole saga long time ago and managed to play the game only now. When dwarves said, that she is dead, i felt like rock. I stopped moving and breathing. I thought that they might thought of other woman, that it is not Ciri. But when Geralt opened the door and i saw the legs i just started breaking up inside.
Fuck, i didn`t shed a tear because i was in a real shock. When Geralt made it into seeing her face and when i saw his facial expression, all the pain - it resembled me. Geralt was me at that moment.
And then that magic light flies in - i strain like a string and shout inside - please, please be Ciris soul! And this light just flies into her and awakens her out of her endless sleep. I almost passed out.
My ending was like that. I was cherishing her after first met moment everytime, i knew that i couldn`t lose her again. I overprotected her. I got feeling similar to those which i got when i was reading the book. And in the ending i ORDERED her to stop and not go inside - but she disobeyed. I felt destroyed, when Geralt said to Emhir, that Ciri is dead. I wanted to exit the game and uninstall it. But i made it into the final quest, and when i saw Ciri there, waiting for me, and when i knew that she became a witcher and started to live her life happily - i was shining. It was so unexpected.
I am so emotional now that even your small comment made me write all this stuff. This game deserves a book. It is a great ending of the witchers story.
+Megalodon I had the same ending. Honestly I was crying the whole time from the point when Geralt said to Emhyr that she was dead. He tricked Emhyr and us. :P
I knew there was one bad ending and almost was about to close and replay the game, because I felt like I completely fucked up. But I continued to see what would happen and there was Ciri. I felt so happy and relieved. It's amazing that a game can do that to you. I hope to be able to read the books someday too.
this scene was so beautiful i cried so much
This is the scene that made me cry. When she hugged him back, I bawled like a bitch.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CAME HERE AFTER S1 E8 OF THE WITCHER SERIES?
Yeah! 💜
Who else came here after seeing this in the netflix series and crying again 😭😭😭
That dialogue with Ciri, with the amazing music in the background ... wished it continued forever, wished it never ends!
Who's here after watching the netflix series?
Could have made theflash back that scene from The Sword of Destiny, "You are more than that"
I still get goosebumps, after all these years
Right in the feels. I cried like a baby. Best scene ever
Let everyone say everything, it doesnt matter, this is the BEST game ever! Music, narrative, graphics, characters, acters, etc... my god, its absolutely breathtaking ! this is that game, which is worth every penny, every pound for me. Usually i use warez like everyone else, but that project doesnt deserve to download it. it deserve every dollar, euro! im really thankful for CD Project, and Poland, to create this world, and this game!
this scene should forever be called "Ciri and the 7 dwarves"
Geralt of Rivia, Mr. "Witchers have no emotion"
When I saw the elven light flying in I had a glimpse of hope...
Then that moment as Ciri opens her eyes... Shivers everyhwere.
