The Witcher 3 - White Orchard (1 Hour of Music) 

Made an updated White Orchard video for the next-gen version of the game here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Eo8VRdJ4H_s.html

"Ghoul nest. Oughtta just destroy it."

Part of my soul left to stay in this place forever.

I'm looking for a woman, dark hair, smells of lilac and gooseberries.

Missing the sounds of the random npcs crying for whatever reason

"Wind`s howling."

“Looking for a woman.” “Ahh. Like everyone.”

The song that reminds us when we're still a noob in The Witcher 3. Good times...

I remember thinking that White Orchard was big enough, that the game was going to be split into numerous smaller, areas like the second game. Then I entered Velen, realising that sizeable place I just explored was basically the tutorial... overcome by the vastness of it all, wish I could capture that feeling again.

It's rainin' , It's pourin' , emp'ror Emhyr's snorin' , he bumped his head when he went to bed and wet himself come mornin'.

who also wishes to forget all the memories about the game. And start the game again, like back in 2015

Captures the melancholy of a warm, basic town somewhere in the war-torn countryside.

Its such a strange feeling when you come back to White Orchard in the end game. Makes you feel how far you have come since the last time you heard this music.

"No. At this point I dont think I'll ever mary. Keep the coins for your daughter's wedding, raise a toast to my health then..."

It's 4 AM, deep in the night. You should be sleeping, but you're still playing Witcher. Running around the forests and meadows, immersed in the beautiful nature. You turn around and sharp sunlight pierces your eyes. For the next 10 seconds, you just stand there and gaze at the gorgeous sky, rays of sunlight following the edges of clouds like a paintbrush, mixing shades of blue, orange, red and gold. Your life might be a bit of a mess, but in this moment, everything is just perfect and peaceful.

"Hmm, might wanna look around some"

-Trying to figure out how to make bombs -Keep getting distracted by the crackling trees -Scary dark clouds makes me think there will be a big raining. -Getting my ass kicked by the ghost at the abandoned village When everything felt new and exciting to experience.

This is where everything began.

Ah yes that area where wolves were your biggest concerns, lol.

By the time you finish the game, DLC's and start a new walktrough, this is like a distant, nostalgic memory, that's how big the game is. It doesn't help that it's also a sad piece of music, picturing war, suffering and misery.

"A place of power,should draw from it" "I'd like to see your stock" "Farwell."

mowing the lawn hits different when this is playing in the headphones haha

This song reminds me of the Herbalist Girl that gives you the Swallow recipe to save the dying girl.

It makes me feel calm and sad at the same time

46:31 That's me after 24 hours of playing this masterpiece

I can't hear this song without instantly being teleported back to 2015... My shitty apartment, police sirens going off outside, trains coming through behind my building late at night. Few responsibilities, no money, firing up Witcher 3 that May in my hot apartment with the broken air conditioning. I had nothing but I was happy regardless. Got to appreciate the little things. Good times.

Just finished the whole game plus DLCS, level 52. Dude... I decided to explore the game again. First thing i did: go back to White Orchard. I simply don't know how to explain the feeling, dude... just felt like... Nostalgia!! I mean... nostalgia from a game i'm just playing??? Weird af

"So many corpses, and the wars just started" I remember the first time I saw the white orchard battlefield. Man that's soo gruesome

"Pam-pu-ram, pam-pam-pu-ram."

entire life is The Witcher 3 and I'm the guy on 53:51

The deep string melody at 3:23 always hits me in the feels

Perfect song for the tutorial area; the music was one of the things that contributed to me quickly getting hooked, and I knew it was a special game soon after starting.

"It's Dervan now, D E R V A N"

I remember when my cousin first forced me into finally trying this game out. To be honest, I did not have a lot of expectations. I still remember, the first scene when you enter the Inn in White Orchard with Vesemir to find Yen. I hated how the game seemed so dull and depressing. Not going to lie, the first 10-15 hours spent in White Orchard and Velen didn't seem very exciting to me. Yet I pushed on. I reached Novigrad, and that's when the fun began. Lo and behold, before I even realised, I was subconsciously obsessed with the game! I fell in love with the story, the characters, the beautiful gameplay, you name it. Now I wish I could erase all my memory of this game just so I could play it all again from the very beginning, much slower this time. I regret playing through it super fast. Everyone should take as much time as possible to finish this game. Enjoy each and every second. Because my friend, once it's over, a new game replay will never be the same again. Now I've finished all the expansions and I feel empty. The White Orchard reminds me of my days when I used to struggle with the controls. I remember failing to kill the Griffin in White Orchard 5 times on an easy difficulty. Now I can slaughter monsters in DeathMarch with ease. The journey has been tremendously beautiful, my fellow witcher fans. This game has changed the way I see everything. It sets an example as a world class game. Let's be honest, we may be biased, but I feel like there can never be another game better than this in terms of the connection you feel with the story, the characters and the emotional attachment you're left with when you finish the game. I have no words. This game is beautiful. Truly.

This song is simply Vesemir theme. It perfectly gives us who he is : old, wize witcher, tired after all these years figthing, but also honest, true and determined to help you in whatever you need. He tought you nearly everything, made who you are now, but the time when he was teaching you is gone. Now you feel, that he needs help in some things. I know Vesemir is still badass and he showed that in Kaer Morhen, i just mean Geralt knows, he should take care of him. Like a son, who has grown up, and now needs to take care of his older and weaker father. And exactly about that is this song. It fits great with Vesemir and Geralt adventures. Father and son, hunting together.

Of all the levels... the first one was the one I spent most time with. Running around in white orchard to learn the game, getting scared at the sight of everything moving in the woods and along the river. Consqeuently this song is the one I spent the most time listening to, and the one that reminds me of the game the most :)

Just finished this masterpiece, again. It was my 5th playthrough. And, as a tradition I always go back to White Orchard, it feels unique...

"Goidemar?" "It's Dervan now. D-E-R-V-A-N."

"Medallion's humming..a place of power it gotta be...."

I just finished the main story. Ciri lived and became a Witcher. Now I'm playing Blood and Wine, and hell... I don't want to play anymore, I don't want this masterpiece to finish. How the fuck am I feeling nostalgic for a place that is new to me. And by the way, the Baron quest? Wow.

Lord of The Ring’s has the best soundtrack of all movies, Game of Throne’s has the best soundtrack of all TV Shows, and The Witcher 3 has the best soundtrack of all games.

Looks like rain ...

I can't even express the emotions I feel when I listen to this melody. I have to cry, because I miss that first experience so much, I want to play, but my PS4 doesn't work anymore and I've got the feeling, I have became a part of this game, and it has became mine...somehow. This sounds crazy, I know, but some of You might relate. :) Have a wonderful life, everyone!!

i remember when I first started playing how vast the content was, everything was new to me, even geralt himself creeped me out at the beginning

Hey, I know that windmill! I fought a big bird there.

Almost 5 years since I had the amazing experience of playing this game, time sure goes by fast.

The vibe when you finish the game and the dlcs and then go back to this place and hear this soundtrack is amazing

My first playthrough was in 2015, I loved this game so much. 5 years later when the pandemic raged in Europe I dived back into this game. I knew the story, a few little details here and there. But I forgot some of the quests (some of which you could remember during the game). As I played through the story of Wild Hunt, I looked forward to the DLC Hearts of Stone, and Blood & Vine. These two DLC I then played for the first time in my life and I was thrilled anew. The game has aged very well and is always fun to play again. I am sure that in 2025 this game will inspire me again - it will surely be at least 150 hours of playtime again!

This fanbase shall never die, my fellow witchers❤️

It's like the strangest feeling ever upon riding in with Vesemir. Everybody knows there's massive, bloody, stalemate battles going on all around them, and their just totally helpless to the situation. Being thrown into despair by all of the overwhelming conflict of a once beautiful, and peaceful land of plenty...now left with nothing. Empty, and overcome with grief. White orchard was a roller coaster of emotions for me. That you can strongly feel coming right out of the game. They made a masterpiece with this zone... it's terrain, the story here, and music. Amazing.

This is the best atmospheric soundtrack, along with Kaer Morhen and the Beauclair tracks (for me, obviously). The feeling of Uncertainty, Desolation, and yet a strange calm, as if "All is said and done, we lost., now what?".

Criminal that this wasn't on the soundtrack.

I got the game in September of 2019 because it was on deal and I'd heard good things about it. I started playing in white orchard, getting scared by every moving thing I met in the woods, getting grans frying pan, helping some lad find his brother. Ahhh the memories

I regret that I did not stay in this location any longer...

Напоминает деревню где жил, играл с друзьями... бабушка и дедушка.. закаты, расветы солнца.. запахи... как коровы ходят му издают, петухи поют... но больше всего закаты, и далёкие поля.... и слеза наворачивается.... вот такие эмоции создал мне "белый сад"

This is one of the best tw soundtracks for reading witcher books.

I don't know how to describe this music. It seems like a sad and cold afternoon that tastes like sorrow and blood, reflecting the war torn territory.. That loneliness, the reality of war, but the villages try to keep their normal activities besides everything.. A cold autumn sundown.. I'lll never forget this feeling.

Depression, in sound format, but there is a certain beauty to this music while watching the clouds of a storm going by in white orchard. The way Geralt wakes from an initially happy dream at Kaer Morhen to the nightmare that is war unleashed by Emhyr, and this music starts immediately, was really well done.

Goddamn I miss my first playthrough.

Mid-June 2015. My exams were coming to an end. During my exam period I had enough free time to watch TW3 cinematics and gameplay. I got extremely hyped for this game and being a fresh PS4 player I was looking forward to experiencing this game on my brand new console. The day I completed my last exam, I went straight to the store near my house and bought the physical copy of this game. Being 16 and having endless free time because of the Summer Break I was playing this game from 8 in the morning until late in the night with some food breaks in between. I found its mature setting and rich narrative very appealing and got obsessed with it. I was playing this game non stop for a month. Then in June 2016 the same thing happened with the Blood and Wine expansion. Those were some of the best times of my life.

Listening to this at dawn after a rough night, just walking around having a few drinks and then a smoke. It fits so damn well.

Going back to white orchard after thinking Ciri is dead and hearing this made me so freaking sad, and then you meet her in the Inn and you basically cry

this music always reminds me of my first playthrough, the first time I “entered” this universe. one of the happiest moments of my life

I wish I can be happy again.... Playing the witcher at late raining nights, eating chips and drinking soda

Riding my horse , enjoying the landscape, good times man

Yeah that was the beginning of great adventure in my country. Poland still looks like that white orchard in many places💪🏻

"Wot happund to yor mug?" - random peasant kid

Geralt: "griffins like to play with their toy. Eat it, alive, piece by piece" Merchant: "uhhhuh"

I have never wanted to leave this map because of this music...

I'm 33 years old and have been gaming since late NES & Super Nintendo. Witcher 3 captivated me more than any other game I've ever played (I play the PC version). It's second to none. Not even Read Dead Redemption 2 was able to eclipse it.

I remember when i first played that game, it was during my vacations, two weeks off. My friends kept calling me to go out and do some shit. I refused to do anything, just played that game for 2 weeks straight alone at home. Wow ! what an experience ! The best gaming experience of my whole life. I'm sure we aint never gonna get another game as good as it, and it makes me sad.

I was wandering here just for these songs. I always liked tutorial themed places in Witcher, just remember The Witcher 1 and Vizima outskirts... What a beautiful games.

Wind’s howling

I love the first song. This song was in the first moments of game and when i ended there was same moments, same location.

Probably one of the best Opening Level in Games

The music in this game is an absolute masterpiece. I can't think of any other game where the soundtrack helps set the tone/feeling as well as the Witcher 3 soundtrack does. It really is amazing.

This music is so perfect. It encapsulates the feeling of despair in a war-torn land.

This will always bring me huge nostalgia mixed with a feeling I cant really describe... But its a good feeling. Sad a little but good.

That experience of riding through White Orchard for the first time was so visceral. I miss this game so much...

The horn in this song makes it sorrowful and sad since the place is war-torn, but hey, what part of the world in the Witcher isn't war-torn.

First getting this game in 2015 I was sitting in my ran down chair playing this games listening to this music. I was jaw dropped and at one point stood still for half an hour. In 2021 I listen to Tifas theme from Final Fantasy 7 because it's depressing. just like now.

This ambient, reworked ambient from The Witcher 1, is the outskirts of Vizima, almost the starting location, as well as the White Orchards .

So many callbacks to River of Life from the first The Witcher title, love it.

no game would ever beat this game. but you gotta admit there will always be a part in your heart for this game.. such a good old memories hihi

How could you NOT like this....someone answer me now! I'm waiting....

I really wanted to request this specific video, having found no White Orchard theme with this quality of editing and length on youtube. Thank you for the upload, Gaming Ambience.

The good beginning of the game when everything is still new to us... I love witcher 3!

Sometime in autumn 2020, in between the lockdowns, we went for a walk in a country park. It was windy & rainy but we needed some time outside. The sunset gave the sky a bruised beauty, and in the light rain and wind blowing in my face I played this music. It captured the mix of sadness and beauty perfectly.

Read all the comments of Geralt's saying with Geralt voice in my head, and I love this feeling...

I only started playing Witcher in 2019, but I've made so many memories of it already

The quests in white orchard was super depressing for me. This music reminded me of a dark nostalgic past I've endured. I love it.

Some people don't realise how important this video actually is... Thank you

For some strange reason, the first song always reminds me of that hiccuping kid lol.

Over 300 hours of this on steam. Still got stuff to do. Truly one of the best games I've played.

It reminds me of the great summer when I started playing witcher and was such a noob. How much would I give to forget all the story and enjoy it like I used to at the beggining :')

How I miss the feeling I had when I did my first three playthroughs of this game; life was different altogether back then. The openness of every place, an abundance of quests, new monsters, treasure hunts and the different witcher armor you could get ahold of. Even the sense of exploration you got when you just ran around the world, doing whatever. Now that I've played this game about eight times now, the last one being about two or three years ago, I simply can't get into the game again. I'm guessing I've just played it too much, anyone else feels the same way?

witcher 3 has the best soundtrack of all games in my opinion

I listen to this whenever i wanna remember papa vesemir, Rest in peace.

I platinumed this game yesterday after 6 years. It was an emotional moment for sure.

The melancholy of this track really fits when you arrive here again after watching Ciri enter the portal. I didn’t even realize the track had played in the introduction of the game, which made the nostalgia on top of that other emotion so much to bear. Masterfully crafted game altogether. Replaying The Witcher 3 feels like coming home.
