Dear all, although i completed TW2 lots of times, but i just cant stop thinking of King Foltest.
He is an ambious and audacious King , such a pity that he is not the one who can laugh at last in the TW3.
A Vizima without King Foltest what will it be?

He was, no doubt, my favourite video game character of all time :(

I'm not a huge fan of King Foltest, but that bastard had charisma.

kinda sucked he died in his pajamas instead of real armor like he should have been wearing.

Radovids smarter,though his armor has a pretty generic model.

Wasn't he wearing plate armor in his own castle at the end of TW1? And why the hell does he go to war wearing robes?

I thought he had chainmail underneath...

Notice chainmail showing at head, elbows, underneath robes just under his knees

Yea Foltest's armor looks great.

Posted Image

It's perfectly regal, chivalrous, and bombastic. Very Foltest like.

Posted Image

Henselt's armor looks coarse, heavy, and too "out there" (the belt and crown especially) which is Henselt in a nutshell.

Posted Image

Radovid's armor is utilitarian, subtle, stern, and very similar to those worn by the Order. Again, pretty revealing of Radovid as a ruler.

Posted Image

Shilard's attire is elegant, sophisticated, with a bare hand symbolizing the Empire's openess, and another clad in an iron gauntlet symbolizing the Empire's iron fist.

And THAT my friends, is the genius of The Witcher 2's character design.

It suits him but it doesn't suit the war. He seems like he's the smallest of all the kings(even Stennis) when he should be the most powerful one. I liked him better in the W1 outro where he had a cape along with the armor.

His fancy robes didn't really strike me as king who really knew how to go to war.

Maybe something like this combined with the old design, get rid of one of his fance sleeves and put some pauldrons, a cape and an actualy helmet.

Man, I can't even imagine what CDPR has in store for Emhyr...

After all "the rulers of the North come up to about where his poleyns end."

He is wearing chainmail under it. And keep in mind that Foltest was not fighting at the front lines where the fighting is thickest.

There is a certain amount of impracticality in both Fotlest's armor and Henselt's, I'll give you that. But sometimes realism has to be sacrificed in small measures to achieve epicness, and I thought Foltest looked epic/

Hell yea!

I somehow imagine though that Emhyr would wear something simple and not bombastic. I think he's the kind of ruler who can emanate regalness and grandeur, and impose respect and intimidation just by the way he stands and acts.

Fall back, gods dammit! I forbid you to die like imbeciles!

They've taken a good position, the bastards they'll pick us off like ducks, and I'm no duck!
Killing Monsters CGI, going by the audio found of the conference, first they showed a CGI trailer where Geralt goes somewhere and you can hear a woman crying. He takes the money for slaying a monster and then I think Vesemir says that he should take the money and they should leave...Geralt was about to leave but then decides not to and kills 3-4 people, the last one asks him "what are you doing?" to which he responds "Killing monsters." I think that's what they are going to reveal.

Hell yeah! When you have to say (even in your cloth)"I am the Emperor!" you are no Emperor. Radovid is good in this respect, he does not carry a crap load of royal symbols.
Skepticism is a virtue.

Doomed are those who take lunacy for prophecy, and carcasses for holy arses.

Screw Roche! I am a Nilfgaardian dog, and proud of it.

'I never deceive anyone, I never give anyone false illusions,' continued the man. 'So let it be known that,
naturally, the prospect of saving your neck from the executioner's axe exists only if you do not make a mistake this time. Your chances of a full pardon are small. Your chances of my forgiving and forgetting
are . . . nonexistent.'
The young knight in the black armour did not flinch this time either, but Coehoorn detected the flash in his
eyes. He doesn't believe him, he thought. He doesn't believe him and is deluding himself. He is making a great mistake.
'I command your full attention,' continued the man behind the table. 'Yours, too, Coehoorn, because the
orders I am about to give concern you too. They come in a moment, for I have to give some thought to
their substance and delivery.'

Marshal Menno Coehoorn, Governor of the Province of Cintra and future Commander-in-Chief of the Dol Angra army, lifted his head and stood to attention, his hand on the pommel of his sword. The same attitude was assumed by the knight in black armour with the bird-of-prey-winged helmet. They both waited. In silence. Patiently. The way one should wait for orders, the substance and presentation of which were being pondered by the Emperor of Nilfgaard, Emhyr var Emreis, Deithwen Addan yn Carn aep Morvudd, the White Flame Dancing on the Grave-Mounds of Enemies.

Nice.

Can't wait for a trailer revealing Emhyr!

I agree but that doesn't apply here. I think Foltest would've looked better in plate or surcoat. He's kind of in the frontlines in the wall leading his small group.

Henselt wasn't so bad since he's fat and seems like he let's his men kill for him only going in for quick jab at someone.

He was not at the frontlines, Roche and Geralt mocked this whole fighting on the wall, as nothing compared to the real fighting happening in the street.

He looks just fine to me given his role.

Henselt on the other hand was actually in the frontlines at the Battle of Vergen, personally leading the assault. And he also dueled with that heavy belt and huge crown.

Likewise. It would be interesting if we got the chance to take his side or help him, but it's unlikely; Geralt's allegiance is with his "family" over anyone else.
