So I'm playing the first Witcher right now, and is it just me or is the bit after the Professor's boss 'fight' really terrible and didn't need to be in the game at all. Any tips for it?

Drink as many potions as you can. Have silver talented igni. Spam fire.

Lycus posted:The Kikimore Queen? Yeah, this is what I was going to ask, because potions and igni are definitely not going to help you there. If this is where you're at you have to break the cave supports with aard in order to crush the queen Roshnak fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Sep 4, 2014 |

I misread and thought it was for the Professor fight itself (been a while). Yeah the Queen is not a direct combat encounter. Ard stuff and run.

I remember trying to fight the Kikimore Queen the first time I played this part. I was like "What the gently caress? This is impossible." before I figured what you're really supposed to do.

Even when you know exactly what to do it can take a few tries. The scripting is only as good as the NWN engine, which isn't great.

Lord Lambeth posted:Nah, all you really need is a controller. And spec in stealth/pistols, it's basically easy mode. Nonsense, shotguns and fists all the way. In this game, knocking someone down with a shotgun and then punching their throat is nonlethal. Fun Fact: this game has an Orphans Created statistic after every mission.

As janky as The Witcher 1 is I still think CD Projekt deserves tons of praise for what they managed to do with that ancient decrepit engine. Especially given it was their first internally developed game ever.

Oh no, I understood that. I should have been more clear, I mean the part after the first couple supports where there's this huge pack of Kikimores. Do I just kite all of them out? No real room to just run by.

Yeah theres no need to fight anything, especially the smaller kiki workers. Kite them until the boss shows up, then aard a support or two. Then curse that you also crushed yourself and try again e: Its also possible to get lovely kikimore worker spawns, and they trap you before the larger arena. Then the boss one shots you from behind

Lord Lambeth posted:I always thought the blue stripes jacket looked really silly. Why would I want to hide Geralt's luxurious mane of hair? The worst part is that if you play the prolog, every option and flashback in the interrogation resets it so Geralt always wears it during cutscenes

It doesn't help that basically every other piece of armor in the game that Geralt can wear looks cooler than the Blue Stripes jacket. Seriously, Geralt had a lot of cool loving armor options in TW2. A shame a lot of them were hard to justify form a price/stats perspective and you tended to use one of the same 6 or so options all the time depending on how far in you were.

Note to self: If absolutely everyone says Dark Mode armor is ridiculously expensive, maybe believe it instead of thinking "how bad can it be?" Just bought the diagrams and I'm out of money

I already found crafting to be incredibly laborious and expensive in the base game. Dark Mode had me reaching for mods.

Outside of dark mode, crafting is mainly for diamond armor reinforcements, knives and runes.

As with Ciri and Geralt, CDPR put out a cosplay guide for Yennefer which shows off what she looks like in the game. Warning: she's wearing heels. http://en.cdprojektred.com/news/the-witcher-cosplay-guide-yennefer/

You don't need to craft any of the Dark Mode arms or armor. They are there, tempting you, but they're hardly required. In Dark Mode position, aggression, and picking targets are more important than stats. If, after a few goes, you can get to or beat the warewolf in the arena on Dark you can easily beat the entire game.

I'll at leats try the armor out (except Blasphemer's gloves, I'll keep getting double the herbs instead thankyouverymuch). I'm hoping that in Chapter 2 with the harpies it gets easier to get money, because that armor has nice stats.

Yennefer wearing heels makes perfect sense because she's vain as gently caress and cares about looks more than practicality. Also she's magic, and, like crazily strong at magic. She's not planning on running away from anything at any point.

Just, btw, heels on women are extremely common in poland, they aren't considered fancy or overtly sexual at all. People wear them to work. EDIT: I'm not trying to start poo poo.

Women wear heels to work (or just when they feel like it) in the US too, goons are just really weird about heels. I only didn't like it on Ciri because she was presumably in her "running headlong across country just ahead of an army of wraiths" outfit and it didn't make sense. Sorceresses should totally be about looking cool over being practical. It's kinda their thing.

Riding boots with heels, even some high heeled, are extremely common in almost every country. I also don't understand the complaint about wrong shoes on Ciri/Yennefer is representative of fantastical or even partially realistic setting. Current and historical fashion show otherwise.

Haha I just tried crafting one of the swords without saving to try it out and the effect is hilarious. And I'm also wondering whether the +25% damage to gargoyles and dragons from Deithwen is really better than the vitality drain/giving vitality to Geralt ability of the Dark Mode swords. Any input? E: Can I just sell the diagrams after I craft parts of the armor? I won't need them anymore, right? GrossMurpel fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Sep 5, 2014 |

I think it's just because it seems impractical to run around in heels or fight monsters or whatever. There are a million shows on TV where women cops chase bad guys in heels, spy movies where women spies are kicking dudes in heels, etc for fear that the women characters wouldn't look feminine enough if they didn't. No one sane is arguing that women characters should never wear heels or anything like that. In fact not a single person has complained about heels on the Yennefer!
