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

Thank you Dolan Dark, very cool!

the fuck are you doing here

Oh it’s Dolan Dark

the best

True!!

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.

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

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

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...

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

***** 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

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

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

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.

true, especially the bad ending where he just gives up and dies in depression, torn by monsters.

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.

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...

+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.

I feel you.. I almost cried

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.

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 ^ ^

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.

+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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Matti2609 which makes Geralt care for Vesemir’s sword after he finds him.

+Ngoc Y Le >Gerald Really?

***** 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.

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.

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

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.

​@@colemedhus7937 Same here mate. Same here ...

@Wubo He's her dad. Adopted or blood, he's her dad. Everything else doesn't matter

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.

Despize Ultra ooh me too. Me too

I made my wife swear to have me play this game right after lost all my memories

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.

Definetely wasn't anywhere near as good

Better in the show imo

@@tinyspeaker yeah i agree the show did it much better

@@johnnydark3260 'wHoS yEnNeFeR?' yeah, so emotional made me cri

Yeah! 💜

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!

J. Fazzoni who voice actor of ciri ?

Edry Alvyano I unfortunately do not know who it is.

I can't remember the name, but she's also the main protagonist in dragon age 2 if you chose to be female.

***** 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.

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 :>

+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.
