1275

The begining of the Plot section states that the story of the Blood and Wine takes place in 1275 - 3 years after the base game. I have a problem with that statement. First, I do not see any sources here indicating that to be true. Second, I tried to verify it on the internet yet I was not able to find any info (outside this wiki) that states the 1275 year. And the main reason is that the game itself contradicts it. You see the base game story takes place in 1272 and the Blood and Wine could be played far before you finish it. As a matter of fact, it could be played far before you even find Ciri (you have to finish 2 of 3 searchings - for example Novigrad and Velen to make the BaW become available). Simply you cannot have a story that supposedly is taking place in 1275 to be concluded way before a story that takes place in 1272. It would be good to change it or at least provide some source that explicitly states that the BaW takes places 3 years after the WH. --62.141.9.130 (talk) 04:48, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The game itself specifically states 1275 as the year of the knight tournament that Geralt participates in, in a note in the tent where he signs up. It states this regardless if the base-game storyline was completed or not. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 05:33, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Notes and books in the game are messed up. Some chronicle claims that petite Anna and Sylvia visited Queen Calanthe's court with their in 1268, which is undeniably false - they were both adult at the time, and neither their parents or Calanthe were alive in this year.

  - I'm sure, but the game does state this, so we have to treat it as fact, don't we? ~ Dissident93 (talk) 04:28, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - The game states many things... SMiki55 (talk) 09:38, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - Hmmm, fair enough. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 10:15, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
