The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the extention of The Witcher gaming series. Anyone who’s completed The Witcher 2 and might be willing to pick the latest version of the game, is likely to face a dilemma. Not the players who’re into PC gaming. But the ones, who are either talking about PS4 or Xbox gaming consoles. Obviously they want to carry forward their progress from The Witcher 2 to The Witcher 3. For this purpose, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, at the beginning of the game, offers every player with a choice to either simulate or not simulate Witcher 2 save.
I believe that there are many players who remain confused about what may or may not happen after picking one of the choices. I shall pick each circumstance and try to portray the scenario, as clear as possible. For precise information, I’ve referred to various forum threads including reddit to collect the opinions of experienced gamers. So let’s begin.
What Happens If I Simulate Witcher 2 Save?
Selecting simulate Witcher 2 save effectively implies that you want to bridge your progress of The Wicther 2 & The Witcher 3. Now, once you select this option, you will be greeted with a series of questions. These questions would be based on story of The Witcher 2. Players are supposed to answer these question, honestly, regarding what happened in Witcher 2 with them as the storyline of Witcher 3 will completely depend on these answers.
For instance, you could be asked “Did you kill Letho?”. In case you did kill Letho in The Witcher 2 and you answer yes, then you probably won’t have to face him in The Witcher 3. But if you’re looking for an extra quest, you might select no. Similar questions will appear before you in order to generate a fresh storyline for the players in The Witcher 3.
What Happens If I Do No Simulate Witcher 2 Save?
This is primarily for all the new players, who know no history about The Witcher & The Witcher 2. The developers might have devised a default storyline for new players. So if you do not simulate Witcher 2 save, no questions will be asked and you would be into the game soon. However, according to a user, this could imply that:
- You traveled with Iorveth (doesn’t affect your interactions with Roche much, and who knows if it could significantly affect your interactions with Iorveth when they’ll add it)
- You spared Adrian
- you spared Sìle
- You spared Letho
- You spared every-fucking-one (no, seriously, I can’t remember what was the fifth).
There’s a good chance that anyone whom you spared might confront you in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. hence, the new players are sure to have a killer experience while playing The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt. Let us know if you’ve any other queries regarding the simulation of Witcher 2 save.
