wish i could erase this game from my memory so i could play it again for the first time

I legit would buy an entire album of Priscilla love songs.

A real witcher player will never skip this cut scene in witcher 3

Something I find very touching about this whole scene is that Geralt hates poetry, but then he comes to this Inn to find Priscilla and she sings him a song about his feelings towards Yennefer. Feelings that are very tender and dear to him, despite his harsh exterior. In just a few verses, Priscilla manages to make a statement to Geralt; this song is like her saying: "I know who you really are, you don't fool me. It's okay, I accept you exactly as you are". And just like that, these people who have never met, who couldn't possibly be more different, become friends before they've even exchanged a word.

I had my first dance with my wife at our wedding to this song two days at castle ksiaz in Poland

Such a beautiful moment in the game, and one of those rare moments when Geralt can get some peace and quiet... And then that chick from White Orchard ruins the moment. Thanks, lady.

This proves that the Witcher 3 has something so many games these days seem to lack. Not attention to detail, not amazing graphics, not even a masterful story (that I have yet to finish... curse my foolishness). This game has a soul.

Never realized until my second play through that elements of this song are woven into the Skellige ambiance music (where Geralt reunites with Yen and potentially discovers/seals his love for her). CD Projekt Red are masters of detail, nuances and subtleties that reward you with each subsequent play through. Witcher 3 is truly a work of art.

Such a mind blowing game, and this song & scene come out of nowhere. I wish the game could go on forever, life feels a little empty after completing it.

This game left me the same sensation as when I finish a good book. A pinch of sadness plus the feel that I will miss the characters. Anyway, time to read the books.

Also, I highly recommend riding Roach around the wilderness at least once with the game muted and this playing. It's legit. Especially if it's raining. 11/10

Imagine the nostalgia we’ll all feel in 20 years when we remember to listen to this again. Love to all ♥️

It baffles me that people don't realize this is a ballad about Geralt and Yennefer's love story. They weren't exactly subtle with the lyrics.

One of the true moments of beauty in such a harsh game, which I unashamedly admit nearly brought me to tears, it was just so unexpected

* Geralt subjected to an evening of poetry * Geralt: Oh come on.... Zoltan: This is true poetry. - Geralt after he watches the song - Geralt (in his mind): GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL

"The wish I whispered when it all began Did it forge a love you might never have found?" This line gave me chills when i first heard it, as someone who has read "The Last Wish" novel

Im having this song on repeat

What can I say that hasn't already been said of this 'game'? Yes, it is a game, but it is so much more. I am 70 years old, and have played computer games most of my adult life, (I built customized home PC computers for over 30 years), to name a few; Half-Life, Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Myst/Riven, Bioshock, et al --- All good adult games, but Witcher stands out, particularly Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. CDPR did all the small things, and not just "well done", the extreme attention to detail, in every area, stands out, to say they didn't cut any corners =>anywhere

My friend told me that he skipped this... We’re not friends anymore.

These scars long have yearned for your tender caress To bind our fortunes, damn what the stars own Rend my heart open, then your love profess A winding, weaving fate to which we both atone You flee my dream come the morning Your scent, berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep The wolf I will follow into the storm To find your heart, its passion displaced By ire ever growing, hardening into stone Amidst the cold to hold you in a heated embrace You flee my dream come the morning Your scent, berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep I know not if fate would have us live as one Or if by love's blind chance we've been bound The wish I whispered, when it all began Did it forge a love you might never have found You flee my dream come the morning Your scent, berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep

It's a little known fact that Tom Hiddleston's sister actually voices Priscilla and sings this song.

Nice tune. Been a while since I heard it last.

“The wolf I will follow” gave me chills.

This cutscene was the first time ever that a video game had made me set the controller down and stare on in awe. This game is a masterpiece.

This scene is like a refuge from a storm. This - and a few others, like the one with Yen after dealing with the Djinn - feel like nice little moments of peace that are just long enough to let you catch your breath but not long enough that you get bored

Damn...now I understand why Dandelion is so famous in the Witcher verse if he pumps out songs like this...

I hope they put this in season 2 of the Witcher series

First time player. Already logged in 30 hours. The quests provoke emotions, rage, laughter, sadness. This song was the final stamp. It was so good i had to load the last save. Im not that emotional myself bnut this song gave me the chills. My eyes started watering. Given how the quest has gone so far, it was by far the most impavtful feel i have felt from a game in a while!

Recently only started playing Witcher 3 for the first time, got to this part yesterday and I literally sat there quiet throughout the whole thing in amazement.....

This made me decide that Yennefer was the one for Geralt.

This was one of the few moments that I forgot that I was actually playing a game. It hit me right in the heart. They did well with this song. I actually thought for a moment I was there listening to her.

i played this master piece game just in the right moment in my life, had a broken hearth with an ending of a 5 yrs relationship and this game made me cry so much and fixed me. so yeah I'm forever in debt with CDPRJKTRED

I instantly fell in Love with Priscilla at this moment of the Game...

Here's the thing.. I was never into fantasy games. I decided to give the Witcher 3 a go and omg.. I'm so transported. What an amazing work of art.

Just listened this masterpiece on my first play through. What a beautiful game

This song made me choose Yen. Couldn't be happier. Such a fantastic game. Literal masterpiece.

Best vocal song for a video game ever.

Geralt and Yen are a typical real relationship. They have their problems, they fight and have disagreements, but they understand each other, and are bonded. Such a beautiful song. I can't wait to see how the show portrays the blossoming of their relationship.

Steel for humans. Silver for monsters. The Wolven Storm for the heart.

Welcome to the Witcher 3. Come for the music, stay for the gwent.

Never knew that the Griffin was a romance option for Geralt

This song and quest comes at a perfect time in the games story. It serves as a really mellow tonal shift that sees you go from the spooky and horrific vellen to the mysterious and subterfuge riddled novigrad quests.

3rd time playing through, and I always watch this whole scene. Gives me shivers.

I wouldn't have expected such a random scene with a minor character singing about Yen and Geralt would be so tear-jerking. It's both powerful and sad at the same time.

Wish i could see how Yen will react if she hear this song

I'm currently playing the game, reached the moment when Priscilla got attacked, I cried a lot and now I'm listening to this in a loop.

The second this cutscene happened i knew there was something truly special about this game.

The witcher isn't a game it's a piece of art

The witcher community is friendly when comes to anything, but as soon as you give your thoughts on Yen and Triss they go insane

A rare pearl in the midst of this ocean of music. The sweet and calm voice, the intensity of the lyrics and the sweet melody come straight to the heart… absolutly a masterpiece 🔝

I remember when I first played the game and this scene came up I thought 'this is going to be something stupid and awful isn't it?', only to be moved close to manly tears and total silence.

This was the first game to make me feel empty after finishing. I had been, and still sort of am, a multiplayer person. Games like Halo and CoD. But playing this as one of my first *real* singleplayer games, I had been spoiled. For the first time ever, I was being introduced to a breathtaking world and lovable characters. I'm going to miss the characters and the world. I can play the game over and over again but it will never be the same as first experiencing moments like this song. A phenomenal game that will never be forgotten.

When this song happened...I cried my eyes out. It's beautiful in a dark universe. Amazing.

Bro when she said "rend my heart open" I felt that

if there was one song to be used to explain the beauty of Witch 3, it would be this

One of the best moments in the Witcher 3. God what an utterly fantastic game.

Even after all these years, this song still gives me goosebumps. I wish I could experience this game and this scene for the first time again.

Eight years later and this song and its cut scene remains as one of my favorite storytelling moments in gaming, the emotion of the song and how the lyrics effect Geralt in a way not yet seen till that point in the game is just perfect.

I wanted this game to never end...Certainly The best game of this generation.

LYRICS: These scars long have yearned for your tender caress To bind our fortunes, damn what the stars own Rend my heart open, then your love profess A winding, weaving fate to which we both atone You flee my dream come the morning Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep The wolf I will follow into the storm To find your heart, its passion displaced By ire ever growing, hardening into stone Amidst the cold to hold you in a heated embrace You flee my dream come the morning Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep I know not if fate would have us live as one Or if by love's blind chance we've been bound The wish I whispered, when it all began Did it forge a love you might never have found? You flee my dream come the morning Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep

First moment in a video game when i literally just sat there and listened and enjoyed the moment for once. Never happened before / again after that. I regret that.

The first time I played witcher i knew this was special. Really did not know how, but in the entire game it was the first time i start the screen recording. I knew deep inside that was going to be an epic moment. I was so right. That was epic. Great moment. Great song.

Shows that The Witcher triology has the best Soundtrack of any RPGs

Legit just done this part of the quest and tabbed out right away so i could get this song its that bloody good, Holy crap i love this so much.

This is very beautifully done. Memories of Wild Hunt came back.

You know I used to think that Triss was the better option in game, and I did two playthroughs with her as the romance and thought she was the one for Geralt. But today I just finished reading the Witcher books, and I realise now that Yennefer is the one and only for Geralt.

damn! I wasnt ready for the moment of this song!! I just played there and just enjoyed one of the greatest moment of my life.....I am alone in my room in the middle of night! listening this song! life is beautiful.....

This and putting on the play to find Dudu were just the perfect ways to get away from the darkness and despair going on in Geralt's world. A moment of calm during the (wolven) storm to remind Geralt of what he's fighting for.

I was as mesmerized as Geralt and Zoltan when I first heard this song in the game. Priscilla sings like a nightingale ❤️

If you skip this scene in the very first playthrough, no amount of replaying/watching on KZfaq will bring back that magical moment where we just sit spellbound and speechless. CDProjektRed, thank you for this amazing amazing game that helped me in my very tough times. Will forever cherish this masterpiece. "Time is fleeting but memories are forever. Love"

This song gave a whole lot of meaning after ive read "The Last Wish" beautiful never the less.

"Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep" And people still pick Triss... lmao

That's beautiful. I didn't skip the cutscene, but never thought this was about to come

I'm playing The Witcher 3 for the first time and it just blew my mind, the music, the story, everything suits the game and sitting along with geralt to listen to this song was just a amazing, can't wait for a new witcher game to come out.

got goosebumps listening to this song...

Lyrics: These scars long have yearned for your tender caress To bind our fortunes, damn what the stars own Rend my heart open, then your love profess A winding, weaving fate to which we both atone You flee my dream come the morning Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep The wolf I will follow into the storm To find your heart, its passion displaced By ire ever growing, hardening into stone Amidst the cold to hold you in a heated embrace You flee my dream come the morning Your scent - berries tart, lilac sweet To dream of raven locks entwisted, stormy Of violet eyes, glistening as you weep I know not if fate would have us live as one Or if by love's blind chance we've been bound The wish I whispered, when it all began Did it forge a love you might never have found?

EA and Activision: We will dictate the norms of the video game industry. CDPR: Hold my alcohest! Seriously, bless your Polish souls. :)

Love how the game itself wrote a song telling you "Pick Yen fool!"

That feeling when fictional character sings song that is far more beautiful and deeper than anything recorded these days. Please, never give up on Witcher sequels, been a fan since 1st game and will be a long, long time.

even the game wants you to pick yen

Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt remains the best RPG I have ever played. The attention to detail is insane and this moment is just one out of many.

This breaking voice, in 2:40 is so beautiful.

Im 4 years late but i really want this graphic on a t-shirt

i started playing the game recently bc of cyberpunk lmao and got to this part yesterday dear god this is so damn good i seriously can't stop listening to this and i used to wonder why people praise witcher 3 this much this game is goated it deserves all the praise in the world

This game in its entirety is an emotional Rollercoaster. holy fuck. I cried during the bloody barren questline... and the Plague Maiden hunt. then the dandelion quest with this song was like a mid game tragedy especially because I never pick Yennefer.

Been searching for this half an hour. Thank you mate! Ingni!

It's been a while since I finished and almost completely forgot the pain of finishing the story, this just brings that back. Like the top comment says, playing this game was one of the greatest things I've experienced and if I had the chance to experience for the first time again with that same feeling, then I'd do it without hesitation.

This song captures their complexity so well, a true gift to the fans af Geralt and Yen ❤

This moment in the game put me in a trance. Fun fact, an hour or two before getting to this I actually found the book with these lyrics written down in it. If that didn't surprise me enough already, my mouth surely fell open when I HEARD the song later on. So beautiful! A very memorable moment in the game for sure.

"This is exactly why I don't pour my heart out to Ballards...as you just demonstrated." - Geralt of Rivia Beautiful song

After completing the game, after watching the show, after completing any game, after watching any show, I come back to this song. This is definitely the best piece of music in any modern game. Every once in a while I go back to the game just to get that feeling of being in that world. I can't wait for CDPR to go back to any medieval setting for any future game, they sure as hell know how to make a damn well put together game. A masterpiece, to say the least.

Few days ago Witcher 3 had its 5th anniversity. Just wow and after 5 years where are we? Lisenting this and playing witcher 3

fun fact loki actor tom hiddlestons sister sings this.

This song is haunting... I have never played The Witcher and only came across this beautiful song while searching for songs to learn for Bardic circles. This is now at the top of my list to learn!!! .....and I think I need to play this game now

Just got to this cutscene for the first time today, and now I can't stop listening to it. I'm glad I had not heard the song beforehand, so I got the full experience of it from the game.

thank you, whoever stitched and edited this song :D

The best game ever made, also happens to have the best soundtrack ever released for a video game.

THANK YOU! i been trying to find a clean version.

I’ve only recently started playing this game. The story is amazing beyond simply telling it. The tone... I remember a mission where you investigate a cursed island. Fyke island. The story itself was a very standard commoner loves a noble and they die to be in the afterlife... but that mission nailed tone. During that mission, approaching the tower you encounter a swarm of insects that do actually harm Geralt if he approaches them. The you make your way through the mage’s tower towards the top as fireplaces and torches light the way on their own. If you look closely, the fire is encased in a green aura. It makes the room darker and like the fire isn’t able to illuminate the darkness, which hides the horrendous tragedy that occurred within. I even pulled out my torch and it felt stifled, the light barely able to reach out enough for me to behold the rooms. However, once the two lovers are reunited and they can lay to rest with the island no longer cursed... the rooms light up, the fire no longer contained by the magic. The swarms left with the Pesta, and even the skies above cleared and the rain stopped. The music became soft and tinged with hope. I’d been playing the game for several hours by this point but that mission was where I realize this game had truly mastered not only audible story telling but visual story telling. And I’m enraptured.
