Must have missed it because i don't remember to have found anything bout him

As for why mentioning him?

He attacked and "destroyed" a fortress of "non-human scum" that's why, non-human haters should at least mention him somewhere

If you side with Iorveth he lives, non-human haters should be pissed or something at how he was defeated, a quick mention would have sufficed, but then you now tell me i just haven't found it....where btw?

Didn't want to spoil but, at Vizima you can learn about those events. When Henselt asks Redania for help, Radovid invades Kaedwen. As always, Henself fought at the front lines, where he died. That turned the tides of the war, because after that, the kaedweni had to join Radovid, and Nilfgaard now had a strong enemy instead of two weak ones. If you kill him in TW2, Radovid already has Kaedwen.

I undertand the pain but it would be unwise to include them in the base game and not wait with it until an Expansion hits the shelves. The world and lore since Witcher 1 is already very complicated. Did Dragon Age do it? Nope. You could import saves and that didn't do much. Not sure about DA:I but that game is far from DA2. Mass Effect? No idea here. I detest that series with all my heart :P Morrowind? Skyrim? Baldurs Gate? Neverwinter series? I do not think so. What is more, I believe that some characters are not really relevant. Their story ended in Witcher 2. Each game has a canon ending and that is what most developers stick with. I am happy with that. Most probably you can learn more from conversations or some books/papers you find.

Where did you read this? I find it really hard to believe that CDPR would just suddenly make a certain path "canon." Do you have a source?

I can't say I'm an expert on Witcher lore but I did just play W2 and it seems highly unlikely that Iorverth or Saskia would be in this area of the world, given that they were fighting for a free upper Aedirn. It is also highly unlikely that most of the individuals in Temeria and Redania (excluding Roche and his company) know the extent of your involvement in the events around the summit and the battle for Aedirn.

One thing tickles the back of my mind regarding Iorveth, though. At the end of W2 you encounter a badly injured Iorveth being carted out of Loc Muinne by some guards. I killed the guards and Triss said she would take care of him, though it might take a few months for him to heal. An update on that would've be nice.

Disclaimer: I have not even gotten to Triss in W3 yet, so maybe I'm blowing smoke for nothing.

You aren't, and you spoiled me one of the two endings of TW2 that I never wanted to play :p But who cares

Ah I'm sorry :( I should've marked that. It is a very minor point at the end of that path. I didn't even think the game would let me kill the guards, actually. Felt I owed it to Iorveth though, and was quite pleased when it turned out that I got extra dialogue with Triss afterward.

Question: how long after the events in Loc Muinne does this game start? A year or so? It's mentioned that the Nilgaardian army waited out the winter.

why has this been posted I already covered this topic way before this one

The Witcher 3 takes place 6 months after the events of The Witcher 2.

Only my two cents:

importing things over from "W2" does not actually mean carrying over folks that you learned to like/hate.

This just is about some frame of mind, about Geralts background.

In other games there had been similar things: a commander that asked about name, belief, some went even so far to have a sooth sayer ask questions by giving you small scenes where you had to take sides, etc.

Depending on your answers here you found folks in the new game reacting differently to you.

So, for W3 there is the same situation when you do NOT import from W2: you are getting a shave, a hair cut - and all the while you are sitting there, there is this general asking you about your past.
Again, all of it just to place you at the start of one of more possible "frames" inside W3.

Nothing out of the ordinary, just "who the f++k are you" in a maybe nicer package.

They put enough from W2 actors into W3 - do you really think it would have been impossible for those "left out" to be included as well?
A design question that had been properly answered by CDPR!

Again, I might be wrong (but I seriously doubt it) :).


EDIT: forgot -

speaking of elves, there are in fact some that remember you and even mention the fact.
Those elves - just like they like to do - are somewhat hidden, hart to find in a more remote piece of wood in W3.

The problem is that you've got literally one possibility in the entire game to check what happened to Saskia and you learn nothing, cause Filippa knows nothing or doesn't want to share these informations (there's an option to ask her about dragon queen). I don't need them (Saskia & Iorveth) in the game, cause as you said it doesn't make sense - just look at the map. But at least SOME news would be nice, just enough to close that story of Vergen. But there's completely nothing and it was one of two biggest plots/paths in Witcher2. And that's what I don't like.

Maybe in the Russian version of the game, definitely not the English though.

Some characters refer to events happened in books. Not sure if somehow involved with save import.

I play English version of the game. And Iorveth's voice is there, in vast numbers. I don't know how deep you in game to guide you to NPC voiced by that actor.
With all due respect, IMDB is not good source, as many games do not have list of VO actors at all, or have rather short lists. So for now I rather trust my ears, as I can't check credits list, because I can't launch game now.

I just think it's messed up to not include the non-human vs human options at all.

Even Witcher 1 had a choice to pick between human and non-human or neutral.

Witcher 2 forced you to pick sides but allowed you to be somewhat neutral.

Then in Witcher 3... sorry can't side with non-humans at all, they will hate you no matter what you did in the previous games. Can't even bring up a conversation with Zoltan, your best non-human friend about the fact that you fought for non-human rights throughout the entirety of the other 2 games...

It's lazy, rushed, excluded for some bad reason and hopefully will be added in the enhanced edition or as DLC/expansion.

I have to laugh sometimes. People think that news and actions should be known the world over. There was no internet. there weren't newspapers, radio or TV. This is like the 13th century Europe. What happened in France was little known ins ay Poland during the 13th century.

So you let Roche kill Henselt. Only the two of you were there and know this. Yet somehow some remote elf band in a forest should know this? How do you expect all of this information to travel around the world?

These small raider camps don't know you. They've never seen Geralt before. How do they know you aren't lying? Why should they trust you? Did the elves send out a telegram with all the defenders if you picked Iorveth's path?

Sorry but all of these arguments fall way flat on the basis of lore, capability and even simple common sense.
