Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

What is Song Ren's biggest feeling about "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" before.

Very interesting little game Gwent card, very magical.

It hurts him to look for NPCs who can play cards, and if he doesn't see a person who sells things, he always opens his shop interface to see if there are any good Gwent cards.

There is also a depiction of the environmental background in the game, as well as a wealth of side quest plots.

But now Song Ren's biggest feeling is the follow-up development brought about by the choice of tasks in the game.

Just like in "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption", various tasks are actually full of choices, such as not killing a certain character, or killing a certain character.

But these choices don't actually have much impact on the subsequent plot, or they don't affect the overall situation.

But in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", it is completely different, and the choices in the game will actually affect the follow-up.

Before that, Song Ren also experienced many tasks that required him to choose.

But at that time, his feelings were not too deep, because the consequences themselves were not much different from killing or not killing NPCs in "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".

But now Song Ren really felt the consequences of choosing different tasks.

Instead of abandoning the Bloody Baron, Song Ren's Geralt chose to help the Bloody Baron to save his wife Anna.

But before rescuing the baron's wife, the player saw the witch in the forest, the three old witches.

And at that time, the player also accepted a task, that is to go to the depths of the forest to kill the creature named tree heart.

This is a creature with a human soul, and choosing to kill the tree heart or not kill the tree heart will bring two different directions to the ending of the baron quest.

At the beginning, Song Ren chose not to kill the tree heart, because his trip to Kayla's underground ruins, the reminder of the elf mage he saw, and the disgusting appearance of the three old witches made Song Ren instinctively distrust. These old witches.

Song Ren didn't believe a word of their words, and what Song Ren wanted was to liberate the tree's heart. At that time, he might have to fight the three witches, and he could have a helper himself.

The result was good, after the tree heart was saved by him, it turned into a black gust of wind that swept the entire village and killed the villagers.

Then facing the three old witches who made him so miserable, the tree heart didn't even dare to let go of the fart and yo-yoed, and the only thing he did was to rescue the orphans in the swamp. .

But in the end, when Geralt came into contact with the curse on the baron's wife, he found out that the old witch had already forgotten everything and the curse broke out and turned her into a monster.

In the end, he returned to his original state before his death, and he settled his quarrel with the Baron.

Witnessing the death of her mother, the baron's daughter still refused to forgive the baron and chose to follow the witch hunter organization to leave Willen.

In the end, all the relatives around him left, and the baron, who was desperate, hanged himself in front of the tree in front of his house.

Such an ending made Song Ren a little unacceptable.

After all, although the baron is not a good person, he can't be called a villain.

He still wanted the baron to survive, so in such a situation, as a player, Song Ren decisively activated the save method!

But can another ending be able to get a good result?

After reading the file again, Song Ren repeated the task again.

This time he chose to kill the tree heart, but the final outcome is still not so good.

After killing the tree heart, all the children kidnapped by the old witch were killed.

When the baron's wife took care of those children, she also regarded them as her own.

Suffering such a blow, the baron's wife, Anna, became insane.

In the end, the baron took his wife to the distant Blue Mountains for medical treatment, and her daughter went north with the witch hunter.

Which ending is better?

Song Ren couldn't speak for himself.

Seeing the baron who took Anna away and returned to Raven Castle to watch the domineering deputy commander, Song Ren couldn't help but be silent.

If his mood was relatively relaxed and happy before, it is completely different now.

He felt that the familiar President Chen came back.

Even in a trance, Chen Xu's smile appeared in front of his eyes, and that brilliance seemed to have penetrated everything long ago.

A very typical trolley-style moral dilemma choice.

No matter what you choose, you can't get a happy ending.

Just as "Red Dead Redemption" Riath Morgan is doomed to die, "Bloodborne" and "Dark Souls" are doomed to darkness and despair.

Geralt is not an omnipotent savior, and there is no absolute good or evil in this world.

In the face of this cruel world, Geralt has nothing to do.

Taking a deep breath, Song Ren's heart was touched.

There is no doubt that from this moment he feels the powerful charm brought by "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".

A commissioned mission asks you to hunt down the so-called bad guy, but after you chase down the bad guy, turn around and beg for mercy and tell you a story telling you that the commissioned person is actually the bad guy. What would you do in this situation?

Encountered a werewolf monster, but in fact he never took the initiative to kill people. Instead, because of possessiveness and jealousy, humans used strategies to let werewolves kill people unconsciously, so as a witcher, whether you choose to kill the werewolf or not is irrelevant. already?

You rescued a man on your journey, but two days later you met again in the village, and the man you rescued was actually a murderous robber, and the whole village has been killed by him , how do you feel in this situation?

There are also a variety of quest options, and sometimes you're a good person, and you'll only get meager rewards for being considerate.

But if you are not friendly, but you can reap a lot of rewards, how should you choose at this time?

These kinds of tasks and the consequences of various choices made Song Ren really feel that this world is a real world.

Everything Geralt does will really have an impact on this world.

"I hope you can cure Anna's illness, Baron." Looking at the Crow Castle without the Baron, Song Ren let out a long breath.

Every ending has regrets.

But from his own point of view, Song Ren still hopes that the baron can live.

So in the end Song Ren chose this ending.

After a short sigh, Song Ren was in no mood to clear the remaining branches of Wei Lun. Instead, he planned to follow the main line to Novigrad to continue searching for Ciri's traces to advance the main story, temporarily staying away from this map that made him a little depressed. .

But at this time, on the table in the main hall of the Baron's Castle, Song Ren saw a card.

'Sigismund Dijkstra? This is the Baron's Gwent card! 4 Force Spy, my deck is getting stronger again! ’

Looking at the Quint card on the table, Song Ren showed a surprised expression on his face.
